We had time to kill waiting for our train so we popped into Molly Wee for a drink after a show at MSG. Molly Wee is your quintessential Irish pub. Great vibes all around along with a decent cocktail list and holiday decorations. I'd take Molly Wee over most of the other bars surrounding MSG! read more

Please be aware of this bar. I had a few drinks there last night. I handed my credit card to the bartender and even invited a father and son from Wales next to me for a drink. The next thing I realized, my wallet was stolen. I reported the theft to the bartender and the manager, but they were unhelpful. They immediately accused me of bothering the hookers and their clients next to me, even though I never spoke to them. They asked me to leave the bar right away. Shortly after, I discovered that my credit cards had been charged thousands of dollars. The manager and the thieves are working together. Please hold your wallet tightly. I was left on the street without a penny. Thanks to the lovely officer who took me home. If you need help, please call 212-239-9811. read more

Finished a great night of touring New York here. The place was lit up with folks who just came back from Billy Joel's 150th show at Madison Square Garden and the end of his residency. It was all Billy Joel music, great pints of beer, and excellent cocktails. Their take on the Manhattan was rich and delicious. Bartender was great and took good care of our little group of 3. Super cool vibe, quality Irish Pub! I would definitely hang out here again. read more

Such a great little pub. Service is Irish. Meaning they will treat you like family, and joke with you as well. The food is nice and hardy. Bartender is a gas, meaning hilarious. I don't want to get her in trouble with anything she said, but we were having a right laugh. We will definitely come back here if we are in the area just for the camaraderie and ambiance. It was such a chill, fun place. Prices were very normal. Drinks were perfect. Bathrooms were clean. read more

Hit the spot!!! Cheeseburger and fried zucchini sticks with Smitwicks was a perfect. We will definitely keep this in mind next time we are in Chelsea. read more

What a great spot, and it's located right next store to MSG, so a great place to stop when going to a concert. I recently went to see Depeche Mode at MSG with a friend. I was super excited to stop by here as my husband use to frequent this spot in his younger days. (LOL) We each got a double drink before heading into the show, as well as, a bite to eat. I got a corn beef sandwich, and it was pretty good. I'd say for NYC the prices were definitely pretty good. I'd definitely stop in here again! read more

I came here after an event, looking for a chill spot to do the after hang with friends. It's a great neighborhood spot- decent food, good beer selection with cocktails as well... service is kind and quick, and overall just great vibes. A little pricey but what can ya do? read more

This place is deadly grand! We visited this fine Irish pub before going to a Madison Square Garden concert- a stone's throw away. The management is smart and plays the music of the MSG headliner to get you in the mood for the show. We started with a few tasty Smithwick beers and then had a tasty chicken pot pie and greasy but excellent fish and chips served by a very attentive (Irish) server. The place sports many Irish-themed decor, and the vibe is upbeat and friendly. I highly recommend this place, especially before a MSG concert! read more

I was meeting up with a friend that I hadn't seen in some time, and we both came through Penn Station. We wanted somewhere to eat and chat for a while. Molly Wee Pub turned out to be perfect. Just a block and a half from Penn, we had no trouble finding a table just before noon. We were greeted warmly by the staff, and shown to our table. We both had the Irish Breakfast. It was an absolutely huge plate of food! It was also really good. The sausages and the black pudding were my favorites. We had some good coffee and stayed quite a long time. The staff would check in from time to time, but they really left us to chat. We never felt rushed. If you are looking for a really solid Irish pub, and you find yourself near Penn Station, I would urge you to give them a try. read more

This Irish pub has actually been here for decades. However, it is a relatively generic place you can find anywhere in Manhattan. It is on the smaller side but the main reason they get consistent business is the location. It's very close to Madison Square Garden so it's a convenient place to get drinks before or after an event. The food is the typical pub fare, like fish and chips and shepherd's pie. The place is not bad, but is nothing special. read more

The entire meal made me feel content with my restaurant choice. I've never been disappointed by my orders and the amounts are reasonable. The meals here follow authentic methods. Staff demonstrate practical assistance with personal warmth. The complete package here is impressive. read more

Sorry, did na stay for a bite. But it's half a block from Madison Sq Garden and Penn Station and it's popping. Cormick is a great barkeep and the Guinness is perfect. Cool, not too cold. I'll try the pub grub next trip. Perfect after 3 hours on the train up from Virginia. read more

Molly Wee Pub - The cozy and very very friendly bar. A home away from home for we travelers. - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

This pub is very close to Madison Square Garden. Prior to attending a concert recently, my wife and I stopped in for dinner and drinks. The restaurant has a very nice bar and we found the food very good. We both had the French onion soup which was excellent. My wife had a salad and I had the corned beef sandwich with fries. Pair that with a couple of Harp's for me and Pinot Grigio for my wife and it was perfect before heading to MSG. My only issue is how rushed we were to finish and give up the table. I get it that the restaurant can't have customers just sit there when people are waiting for tables, but they took it to an extreme. Right after we were served our food, the owner or manager was checking on the status of where we were. We barely finished eating and the server cleared the table. Like I said, I get it that tables need to be turned over, but they just made it very uncomfortable. read more

I chose Molly Wee due to its accessibility from my commute back downtown and for a fine spot for meeting up with an old friend last night. Perfect pours of Guinness and a Shepards pie to complete the package. As the night comes on, the atmosphere of the spot is accentuated. An attentive bar staff kept us comforted. I shall return again. read more

Great spot to belly up before an after games at Madison Square Garden! So close to MSG. The service was attentive and prompt. Wish our teams did better. read more

It's a no frills Irish pub we wandered into the other weekend. I've personally never been here and had walked by and wondered about it. I think it's probably convenient for shows and games at Madison Square Gardens because it doesn't seem like the type of place that gets typically packed. But the prices are apt for MSG. Most of everything on tap was at $9 and I made the mistake of getting a hard seltzer can that was priced at $10. Yikes. The food looked and smelled good. Someone at the bar had ordered some kind of lamb or pork dish and mashed potatoes that were requested to be covered in melted cheese and at the time I thought that was a genius maneuver. Why have I never requested this? Cute old fashioned juke box. It's definitely a huge Rangers bar. I appreciate places that are focused on hockey as opposed to soccer or football. Brendan Shannahan's jersey is sitting on the wall. You know, that time when he became a traitor to the Red Wings and joined the dark side. I bet he was a regular at one point in life at a joint like this. Definitely worth checking out. read more

The prototypical Irish pub (yes they are really Irish). Came here for some beers and food and it was perfect as expected . Solid draft beers selections and I got the Guiness fish n chips platter of sorts . Crispy , tasty and light . Posh pub! read more

Few things in the city could be more valuable than a reliably good restaurant within a block of Penn/Moynihan. It is a popular spot, but we've never found it to be excessively noisy. Wait staff is efficient and often from Ireland, so we ask them which county there are from, and the answer is usually in the Clare/Limerick/Kerry range. The food here never lets you down. Most recently, I got a shepherd's pie and Donna got a Reuben - both excellent. The decor reminds me that we are due to make another farewell trip to Ireland. Recommended. read more

This was the second time I dined here. This time I was with my daughter after Comic Con, last time with my wife before a concert. I ordered the Molly Wee Burger with Sautéed onions, mushrooms, bacon and choice of cheese and my daughter had the Veggie Burger, both came with fries. I asked for the beer specials and our waitress told me a few and then just brought me one of them without me telling her which I wanted. I believe it was a Miller, it was ok. I guess there was a miscommunication. She was the same waitress we had last time I was there with my wife and she was much better before, more polite and friendly but just as efficient. It was after 9 PM and I guess her patience was shot, I'm sure that can happen on a Saturday night so I give her some latitude. Overall it is a nice pub with the décor you would expect and the food was great, our food came in a timely manor and was hot and tasty. Molly Wee Pub is close by Penn Station and Madison Square Garden so it's a convenient spot to stop by and grab a burger and a beer. I would go back if in the area again. read more

Good service, good ambiance, underwhelming bar food that doesn't back up the prices. Overpriced drinks, I expected more from a place that has been around for over 40 years. read more

Small but nice. Good spot before a Knicks or Rangers game. Food is ok. Service is great. I like it.

We appreciated a place to sit and eat amidst the busier bars in the area. Service was good and food was just what we needed after a concert at MSG. Just wish there was more finger food/apps since I wasn't really looking for a full meal. read more

Nice place but we paid $18 for a super shit espresso martini and $16 for a super shit aperol. Also a Smirnoff ice was $7? Crazy prices for NY when you take the ambiance into account read more

A great spot to have a bite and a few drinks before the Rangers games at MSG. Dancing Larry pregames here as well if you want a chance to meet the Dancing legend himself! read more

Ordered mashed potatoes and mozzarella sticks- both were extremely unseasoned and cold. Its a fine bar to visit if you just want a drink but beware about going for the food read more

The food was fantastic, service was excellent and where can you go in the heart of MSG are for a gathering of 10/12 guest and feel right at home? Molly Wee Pub the place has withstood time, change and COVID. Consider when going to NYR / NYK game or just in midtown area. We have been going here 3/4 times a year excluding COVID for 10 years and just a class act at very reasonable prices. read more

Great local spot to grab a drink and food. It's a wonderful Irish bar with all you will ever need. I only got a soup but all the food coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled delicious. The Irish ladies behind the bar are very nice. read more

Great atmosphere and service. Great place to go before an event at MSG. Owner is super accommodating. read more

A group of us came here to watch a football game and while we were happy with the amount of tv screens showing the game and the service, the food was a different story. Being an Irish bar I figured that ordering the appetizer sampler would be a safe bet but this was not the case. The mozzarella sticks and pretty much everything tasted like they came straight from a packet and were heated and then reheated in the microwave prior to them serving them to us. The service was attentive but the food was very disappointing. Maybe if you're only in the mood for alcohol then you won't be disappointed but I would not come back for food. read more

Service was excellent. Genuinely Irish accents and hospitality. I got the pastrami and fries. The pastrami by itself was a bit bland, but the mustard compliments the sandwich very well and some of the best fries I've ever had. Over all an excellent experience. I've been to Ireland and this is probably as close as you're gonna get this side of the pond. read more

From the uk and this is the best shepherds pie Cream mash with mince beef and veg What we needed when visiting New York as we was sick of eating burgers all the time read more

If you want to be treated like trash look no further than this place HORRIBLE customer service. I guess since they have new ppl there all the time they think they can get away with treating ppl like trash. They don't see you as human they see you as a dollar bill horrible experience. read more

The bartenders are super nice, the vibe is kinda like "after work drinks" and the prices are regular Manhattan bar prices. They have a jukebox so the music is all over the place depending who's spending money. Nice spot to have a drink and relax. read more

Not bad, but pricey for average food. For a pub they had a pretty generic beer selection. Basically whatever the Annheiser distributor told them to sell. Not bad but for $150 lunch for 4 I expected more. read more

I was a little disappointed in the food. It was a little salty which surprised me. On the up side, the bar is defiantly a cool place for drinks and just steps away from the subway!! I will go back when I'm back in town to try a second dish to see if they were just off that day. Until then I will have to get them three stars for decent service, good drinks and convince you located. read more

Molly Wee Pub - The bar!! - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

The menu is basic, hardly Irish. The lady bartender takes care of her regulars. Don't expect anything. She can be rude, and makes you feel unwelcome from the second you come in. This place is not for tourists. Go around the corner to Mustang Harry's. They have a full menu with a full staff. I have been to the Molly Wee many times over many years. It plain sucks now, unless you like to sit at a bar and just knock 'em down and don't care to eat. read more
