    The perfect spot to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, this place has got so much historic character! We were lucky to snag a table and were well attended to by a lovely server who managed incredibly well on such a busy day. We had a really nice corned beef sandwich with nice crispy fries which was washed down by a perfect pint of Guinness. I look forward to trying again on a slightly less crowded day.

    Very cozy place .Staff was very friendly and attentive .Had the burger with onion , sautéed mushrooms . The add on’s were soo good .The burger was very simple otherwise . Felt like there could have been more fat to give it more flavor . Deff have had a better burger in my life before . But truly I enjoyed the simplicity of it . I would happily come back .It really is a very comfortable atmosphere .

    Had an amazing dinner here on our trip to NYC. The corned beef on the rueben may have been the best I have ever tasted and the spice bag was everything I wanted it to be! The best I have had outside of Ireland. Excellent service and a friendly waitstaff.

    What great cozy pub!! The atmosphere, the food and the staff are amazing!! True irish pub in mid manhattanI said I will go back and and I have been back twice and going back again soonCDN transplant in NYC here and been to my share of pubs, but this one is a good one :)

    From the outside Molly’s looks a bit kitschy and unmemorable but as soon as you enter you know you’re somewhere special. It’s the warm glow, the old wooden everything, the perfect pour of Guinness, the chat with the bar maid from N. Ireland, the SPICE BAG and the Irish curry that lingers - all perfect. Good golly Ms MOLLY!

  • Review 6 (2018-01-07 - Rating: 4)

    I live in the area and walk by all the time but never took a moment to stop in mostly because I could never see inside without stopping to look through a little creepy window.I met my friends here for dinner and a drink and it was very cute. They had lights everyone for the holidays I suppose and the very authentic sawdust on the floor.We ordered a few drinks and mine were well mixed. I got virgin drinks but my friends ordered wine and other cocktails.We ordered food and I was pretty happy with mine. I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and the only complain I have is that the chicken was a bit over cooked and tasted a bit rubbery in the sandwich. Other than that the flavor was good and so were the fries it ordered.I would come here but avoid the chicken. The staff was nice but messed up the order sometimes which I’m fine with. If you’re more picky then probably not your place.

  • Review 7 (2024-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    Shepherds (Cottage) pie was awesome! Meatloaf special was amazing. Very large portions, though.Get there early, if you want a table. Love that the staff all sounded like they were actually Irish... :)All in all, it is an amazing place with an amazing staff.

  • Review 8 (2023-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    The Shephards pie was great and small size was enough to fill up. And one order of the sides is good for sharing. My friends loved the burgers. Attentive and friendly service !

  • Review 9 (2024-04-01 - Rating: 4)

    Fun and vibrant with some traditional Irish fare including a well poured Guinness, fish and chips, and plenty more. This was a great gathering spot on a rainy evening, the staff was excellent, and the service above expectations!

  • Review 10 (2019-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    We went here a couple times on our vacation, it is a relaxed, cozy atmosphere with great service, brunch was great! Eggs Florentine, corned Beef hash.Lunch was even better! The best Rueben Ive ever had! And the Shepards pie was amazing as well.

  • Review 11 (2022-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    One of the most authentic Irish pub restaurants I’ve been to. Not only is the food amazing (try the pot pie—you won’t be disappointed!) but the service is incredible! Everyone there is so nice and welcoming. It’s a huge change of pace from some other restaurants in the area. Not to mention it was all decorated with lights for Christmas and was just darling. 100/10 would recommend and will be returning!

  • Review 12 (2022-01-15 - Rating: 5)

    My fave Irish pub in NYC. Be sure to enjoy the Irish Spice Bag. Tons of flavor here with some curry dusted fries, peppers, onions and chicken bits. Just a bit of heat make this a unique, savory and tasty dish.

  • Review 13 (2024-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    I used to live around the corner and I ate here a few times a week for years. The burger is an absolute knockout, one of the best NYC. Great service and atmosphere. Whenever I’m back in town I always stop at Molly’s for a pint and bite.

    If you want a more cost effective way to travel to Ireland...a trip to Mollys will do the trick.Looked after by staff, great pub food and glorious Guinness.Comfy booths and tables in the back too...something for everyone.

    What a gem to stumble upon on Christmas Eve. Loved the charm, friendly staff, tasty food, and plenty of holiday warmth. Highly recommend this Irish drinking establishment and even more so for the tasty morsels. French onion soup hit the spot with all the gooey cheese. We can see why thr Shepard pie is so highly recommended.

    Greatest bar ive ever been to in my life. you miss the place the moment you leave. food is incredible, drinks are great, service is great, bartenders Kev and Gary are the absolute best.

  • Review 21 (2018-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    A NYC institution! I have been going here for over 20 years and Mollys consistently has the best Guinness, burgers, and Irish breakfast in New York. An amazing vibe with fantastic food, this authentic Irish pub is simply without compare. Go and check it out and you wont be disappointed. Other items of note: fish & chips, chicken wings, the burgers (again & again)... Pretty much the whole menu is fantastic.

  • Review 22 (2024-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    Many claim to be an Irish pub, but few deliver. Mollys is a guaranteed good time. Do not sleep on the curry.

    Service was excellent. This bar is somehow lively and relaxing at the same time. Very homey. Cute pictures on the wall. The Irish spice bag was perfect. Margaritas were surprisingly good considering it’s an Irish bar.

  • Review 27 (2024-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Good salad, chicken fingers and Reuben sandwich. Plus, a great crowd for a Thursday night here in nyc.

  • Review 28 (2020-11-26 - Rating: 5)

    This place has been a weekly go-to since I moved to the neighborhood several years ago, even more so in the winter since they have an oldschool wood-burning fireplace. With COVID, I’ve been more than happy my regular places have gone above and beyond to make accommodations for these trying times. I’ve sat outside several times as well as inside (they have an air purifier), and have never been concerned or questioned my health or safety. These are hard times for all but I’m happy support my local favorites to pull through!

  • Review 29 (2024-02-03 - Rating: 5)

    Everything you want an Irish pub to be. Fantastic food and drinks. Cozy atmosphere. Friendly, efficient service. Even a gas fireplace! Burgers and shepherds pie are especially good.

  • Review 30 (2022-12-17 - Rating: 4)

    Nice neighborhood Irish pub nearby Gramercy Park. As soon as you enter the bar you will see a large bar area that takes up half of the space. The bartenders and servers at the location are very inviting and friendly. I ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings to go. I was thoroughly surprised with the way they packaged my burger, they had deconstructed my burger and packaged everything separately. Its was a nice and thoughtful touch as the hamburger buns did not get soggy, the burger patty itself was cooked to my specifications and in its on container sitting in its own juices awaiting to be assembled to form the burger. The onion rings while very oily and greasy were by far the stand out dish of the evening, this establishment knows how to do their beer batter right for frying. Everything about the onion rings was on point, the slight hint of Curry powder in the batter was a nice touch. I look forward to returning to Mollys for another one of their entree items. At almost 20 dollars for the burger the price is a bit high. But you will be getting some quality eats here!

  • Review 31 (2022-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place! A very chill place. We didnt eat just had some drinks outside. Kevin was our waiter and he was super friendly and accommodating. Loved the dimness of the bar. It had a very Irish feel. I would definitely be back. They have Michelob Ultra in bottles

  • Review 32 (2023-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    Our favorite! Gary is the best bartender! Everything is delicious but especially the Irish Spice Bag, the curry chicken & fries, the mozzarella sticks, and the cheeseburger!

  • Review 33 (2023-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent establishment. Guinness was perfectly poured. The food was authentic Irish American pub food and some of the best you will ever have. The chicken curry over rice and fries was solid but the Shepard’s Pie stole the show. The staff was friendly. Music was nice. Will be going back soon

  • Review 34 (2023-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    Mollys always has a lovely atmosphere! The entire place is decorated with fairy lights which adds cozy lighting and a great atmosphere. It does get quite busy so I do recommend planning your night around Mollys if you can. The food is amazing, I come here for the curry chips (french fries with curry sauce) and they never get old. Cant beat Mollys, but I do recommend joining em!

  • Review 35 (2019-12-06 - Rating: 4)

    Great pint of Guinness. I was told the foods really good- was just drinking that night. Felt like the real thing. Will be back for dinner.

  • Review 36 (2024-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    I was visiting the city and found this awesome hole in the wall. The bartender was friendly, drinks were great, and the shepherd’s pie was the best I’ve ever had.

  • Review 37 (2020-03-12 - Rating: 4)

    Great burgers. Lackluster fries and salad

  • Review 38 (2019-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    This has the vibe of a neighborhood bar/restaurant. Not hipster or touristy. Me and my wife loved it. I had a thick cut pastrami sandwich. Totally simple. My wife had a Chicken Cesar Salad. The Guinness tasted better than the 6 other bars we hit inside of 3 days. Don’t come here for fine dining. Come here for good times with locals. Great staff. Great food. Great drinks. Great times. Thank you Molly’s!!!

  • Review 39 (2023-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    Love the vibe, and the burger was delicious! We mentioned we were splitting the 10oz and they kindly served each half on its own plate.

  • Review 40 (2023-05-04 - Rating: 4)

    I have been coming to Mollys for years, mostly to share drinks. A specialty is delicious Irish Coffee, or variations such as Jamaican Coffee (think rum). Mollys also has good beers and a good whiskey selection.Food 8s fine, but nothing special.

  • Review 41 (2023-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    Classic Irish Pub.Love the food and got excellent service from the guy that works there. He was very friendly and kept checking in on us, went here on a whim and decided to get the fish and chips.They also have outdoor seating, I love the decor on the inside though.

  • Review 42 (2022-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    In door seating can be very limited, but they offer outdoor seats with heated insulation. Our waitress was very kind and the food came out fast and delicious! It’s near Rolf’s.

  • Review 43 (2020-02-06 - Rating: 5)

    A classic Irish pub complete with sawdust on the floor, Irish music on the jukebox, and a working fireplace. its a solid spot to grab a pint just based off atmosphere alone, not to mention the mile-long menu of English and Irish drafts. They also serve one of the best pub burgers around.Burgers are huge and perfect, among the best I have ever had! If you come here for the brunch or for a burger, you will not be disappointed.Sit by the fireplace and take in a game or people watch!

  • Review 44 (2023-10-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great Irish pub. Staff is friendly and helpful. Drinks were well priced and the ambiance is excellent. Would highly recommend stopping in for a pint!

    One of the best meal I had in a pub by far!

  • Review 46 (2018-12-24 - Rating: 4)

    Shepards Pie is amazing! One of the best Ive had. The decor was very nice during Christmas and the drinks are good. The corned beef was cooked very well, but the cabbage was bland. Tasted as if there was no seasoning, Id stick with the Shepards Pie personally.

  • Review 47 (2024-06-04 - Rating: 4)

    I went in there the other night to get a burger around 10. I had tried the Old Town Tavern and Petes, but they were both closed. The cheeseburger I ordered was about the best pub burger Ive ever had in NYC, better than Donovans. And the side of onion rings were top notch. Glad I went, ill be back.

    Really good food. Nice people. A very special place.

  • Review 50 (2018-07-18 - Rating: 4)

    Molly knows how to entertain. Molly is your old school sawdust on the floor Irish bar. Service is friendly and with a smile. There was a group of us for a birthday meal and our server was quick witted funny with great service. Good selection of beers and on tap. You have your usual suspects of fish & chips and shepherds pies but surprising vegan friendly also (we had some in our group). The wood interior is rustic pub feel. It is not over loud except for probably during St. Patty’s but I’d probably avoid it at all cost anyway. Everyone had a great time. The food was solid. Good service and the birthday boy had a good time.

  • Review 51 (2023-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    Classic Irish Pub with some decent food options. I love that they have Irish Spice Bags which are a unique Irish food influenced by Asian takeout, which is a collection of fried food like peppers, onions, potatoes/fries, and breaded chicken.

    It was perfect weather on the first weekend October. The beer came quick and steady and each pour was fantastic. The fish and chips were absolutely genuine London recipe are completely authentic and delicious. The staff was wonderful and Charming as well.

  • Review 54 (2016-03-25 - Rating: 4)

    Mollys is hands down my favorite burger in the area. The servers tell it like it is: a thick, ten ounce burger... this aint no McDonalds hamburger patty! My burgers have been cooked exactly to the temperature I specified each time Ive come here, which is more than I can say for other burger places I frequent. I think the price is extremely reasonable, given that I can never seem to finish the entire plate. The side salad and fries arent as notable though.This place is empty come weekday lunches (got my burger 10 minutes after entering the establishment), but Ive tried a few weekend dinners and the wait can be up to an hour since they dont take reservations. (Once you sit, youre basically closer to strangers than your own date!) All employees Ive interacted with are super nice, but they might be hard to come by when it gets busy.I personally dont like the sawdust all over the floor, as it gets stuck to my shoes... The burger is definitely worth it though!

  • Review 55 (2023-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Mollys is a comfortable, neighborhood Irish pub that just happens to serve delicious food. The atmosphere has not changed in the 45 years I have visited --- sawdust on the floor, vintage booths, almost always busy bar, helpful wait staff, and speedy service. The food is delicious. Their Shepherds pie is my favorite in the city, their burgers are great, and the salmon & chicken dishes are especially terrific. Prices are reasonable & you will feel immediately welcome. Their decades of experience show in the excellence of the operation. You should give it a try!

    Classic Irish pub, we were greeted by the owner who was very welcoming. Stoped by for a quick bite, ordered a grilled chicken pesto sandwich and a glass of white wine. The Sandwich was delish!

  • Review 69 (2023-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    Heres the thing with Mollys.... Its an institution. Just like Desmonds on Park. But its, thankfully, (sort of) off the tourist books unlike McSorleys. Been there for 15+ years.Their hamburger is insane. (Serious.) And theyre well known for their Irish Breakfast. The clock? Always on the same time. Hilarious. No idea why but its probably worth asking.This pic was taken a few days before Thanksgiving. Theres a (fake) fireplace there, sawdust on the floor, and its just a phenomenal spot. Their decorations are just.... well.... it works.Dont expect Nomad Hotel Bar level cocktails here. Thats not what they do... or will ever do.The cast of characters that youll find in here from time to time is absolutely worth the visit. And yes.... Its a damn good dinner spot too. You cant tell from the pic but theres a full dining room in the back with amazing service.Come by, order a Guinness at the bar, and relax. You wont be disappointed.

    Truly one of the greatest burgers I have ever tasted. Huge, charred to perfection, spot on medium rare, with the right amount of fat and juices oozing from every bite. And the Guinness is pretty decent for an American bar too.

    I gathered my friends here for my birthday! They don’t take reservations in December as they are very busy, but the lovely hostess (Alyssa!) was so friendly and supportive of our evening. The ambience and overall energy of Molly’s is warm, cozy, and inviting. It is everything I want from a pub. Their pies and drinks hit the spot, and the fireplace and Christmas lights are the icing on the cake! Great staff and friendly regulars to top it all off!

  • Review 77 (2018-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious burger and corn beef sandwich. The bartender and waitstaff are super friendly. Highly recommend this place over Christmas time!!! Very festive and better than the other holiday themed places in the neighborhood.

  • Review 78 (2020-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    During an afternoon of thrift shopping in NYC last year, my mother, cousin, and I were parched and ready for a quick drink. I spotted Mollys across the street, and we went in on a whim. After letting our eyes adjust--its very dark inside--we sat down in a booth, taking in the architecture, pictures, fireplace, and sawdust on the floor. It was the middle of the afternoon, and so we were the only folks there.Our server/bartender, a friendly woman, told us some about the restaurants history, about how old it was, and showed me a very old picture of the building over 100 years ago. We werent there to eat a big meal, so we just got drinks, and I ordered a cup of their beef stew. Its been at least a year since Ive been there, but when I think of NYC, its still their stew that comes to mind.If youre looking for a five-star experience, this isnt the place for you. If youre interested in a magical place that is very obviously steeped in history, and that speaks of old New York, stop in and have a drink at Mollys.

  • Review 79 (2019-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    When I walked in I was greeted by a cheeky Irish feller behind the bahr, I knew I was in the right place. I ordered a pint and had a seat in the dining area with me lass for some dinner. All kidding aside the dinner was spectacular! The service was inconceivably fast, the pub sausage with carmelized onions I got was perfect, and my wife said the corned beef on her reuben was on par with the one her own family makes, she was in food heaven. My unborn daughter cant wait to go back!

    Went on Saturday before xmas eve with a few couples. Besides a cramped water closet where I actually ended up meeting friendly patrons... The service was fast and authentic irish. The wings were so delicious and crispy. Been awhile since I had wings this good. The mozzarella sticks were massive and also delicious. I was one of the few people who didnt order the burger and envy was my sin for it... The food was good and nice sized portions that I couldnt even finish my meal and Im a big guy with a fat belly... I will be going back for wings, burgers and pints very soon... I say I say I say...

    My friends brought me here for a drink after work and I absolutely fell in love with the place. The staff is so warm and inviting. They treat you like family.The drinks were pretty strong. We ordered martinis and the 1st one had me feeling buzzed. Totally worth it.We ordered some food and it was tasty as well.Its a warm comfy feeling sitting in there.I would definitely return again.Our waitress was Joann and she was great. Even gave us a hug goodbye.

    If you want a bar where everyone knows your name, then this is the place to come.Wood dust in the floors, classic Irish food and drink served up with good old Irish hospitality make this a good staple for the Gramercy area.

    Was there last week 5/2021, and the mussels are back on the menu, thanks to the Angel named Joanne! Shes wonderful and the staff makes you feel welcomed. They care about your experience, and hopefully you care about theirs. They deserve great customers. My buddy had the burger and was in heaven. Thrilled to see these mussels back on the menu! The outdoor structure is well made with heat lamps and sunlight. Wonderful place, makes NYC what it is.

    Originally planned to go across the street to Rolfs but as usual, the line was down the street, so we came here. Not disappointed!! It was packed and 2-3 deep at the bar. The wait to get a beer was 15min, but we had great time chatting with everyone and passing the time away. It was too long of a wait to eat, but the burgers looked pretty good! Going back to find out!!!

    Loud and crowded, exactly what youd expect from and Irish pub. I guess one might call it lively. Someone definitely went heavy handed with the Christmas decor, but it only adds to the fun vibe here.

  • Review 126 (2019-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious food, *super friendly* service, a real Irish pub atmosphere (none of that fakey brass and fern, NYC Irish b.s.). Not fancy, but homey. Prices are very reasonable, as well. Irish Breakfast (a standout): $17 includes a healthy portion of Irish black and white pudding, Irish sausage, Irish bacon, eggs, homefries, toast, and tea. Beans are extra, and fries can be substituted for homefries.Theres a fireplace to gather around on cold nights, but the lovely bar and waitstaff always drive away the chill on their own.Its an altogether wonderful place.

    Awesome authentic NYC Irish pub. Was there for about 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon with some buddies and loved every minute. I was sad we couldn’t stay longer. The place is cozy, warm, and inviting. Friendly staff and a great pour of Guinness. It was busy and lively but we were still able to find seats at the bar and have a conversation at a regular volume. We didn’t eat but the food looked and smelled great. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Manhattan.

    Very popular, especially on St. Patricks Day, but if you can get in and a table, its worth it! Their Irish Sausage and Mashed Potatoes (Bangers n Mash) is EXCELLENT; will have to try their Corned Beef Sandwich or Corned Beef and Cabbage another day.

    Longstanding, authentic Irish pub - with warm service that makes you feel at home. When I lived nearby years ago, I would visit regularly - couldnt go wrong with any dish. From time to time I still stop by and the Fish and Chips are just as crisp and tender as I remember (so hard to find good fish and chips in this city - especially with brown sauce/HP!). Its rare to find a real Irish pub with so many watered down imitations. Mollys is a treat and Im glad it hasnt changed.
