It's a chill irish bar in the area. My tequila soda was $12, fried calamari was $20.. normal price for manhattan, on the not too expensive side. Place is nice, pretty light decoration at the ceiling. Was easy to get a table as it was a bit empty when i was there. My calamari was just ok , the sauce was def not homemade, tasted a bit meh. Not sure will come back for food, but perhaps to chill and have drinks. read more

Have been a fan of Molly's for over 40 years. The atmosphere is combo of old Irish pub and restaurant. When available, nice to eat outside on Third Avenue. Besides other options, love to order the burgers which come out perfectly and freshly made/cooked. Service can be awesome and sometimes lacking depending on the server and crowd. read more

Molly's has been voted in the top 10 for the most authentic Irish bar in New York City along with the BEST Guinness and BEST Burger [comes in 2 sizes] in NYC. Also renowned for its Shepherd's Pie and Irish Lamb Stew, they serve traditional Irish and American pub fare all for reasonable prices. The friendly and attentive staff contribute to the welcoming ambiance, often treating guests like family, which enhances the overall dining experience. There are several booths, as well as a dining room in the back. Oh, there's a working wood-burning FIREPLACE too & REAL SAWDUST strewn on the floor! Peter O'Connell [from Co Meath] & John Ronaghan [from Co Monaghan] have continued the tradition which first started in 1895 - since they took over in 1991, so they must be doing something right! We are never not in here during the Christmas holiday season. It is a sea of hundreds of glittering green [among other colors] string lights ALL OVER the place to put you in a festive mood. Inside is one of the *"coziest" Christmas bars and restaurants in NYC. You'll be hard-pressed to find a quainter pub decked out for Christmas! [FORGET Rolfs, right down the block = BAD Food, JACKED UP "SEASONAL" PRICES & LINES WRAPPED AROUND THE BLOCK just to take a picture/get a drink at the bar ....for H-O-U-R-S!] *Cozy = Describes a feeling of warmth, comfort, and contentment, often associated with a nice space.

Spice bag was delicious - curry different than typical but amazing flavor with a nice kick. The Irish breakfast was a massive serving - the protein delicious. I enjoyed the Guinness and rustic pub vibe a lot as well. read more

A super cute place for a casual catch up with a friend -- especially during the holiday season. Our favorite thing we ordered was the Shepherd's Pie. The wings and fries were also solid and huge portions. read more

Would give it 20 stars if I could. Great staff. Great Guinness. Great food. All you need to know.

So glad we accidentally found this place. We were lucky to get a seat table last minute at this great place around the holidays. Great vibe as the place was all decked out for the holidays. The service was phenomenal, prompt and everything was done flawlessly. The food was delicious. We all opted for traditional Irish dishes and they were all excellent. I had the Shepherds Pie, my wife had the Chicken Pot pie and my daughter had the Fish & Chips. All three dishes were scrumptious. So glad we could this place, can't wait to go back. read more

Tiny, tiny Irish pub in Gramercy, but when you have a hankering for the food that you had earlier in the year, this will do the trick just fine, and I am more than happy with the service and the experience received from having a lunch here. The service is spot on. Some of the servers (cute Irish ladies by the way) were really smart in knowing the menu and really great and ensuring that the food was delivered hot and timely. I got the Shepherds Pie, because well, I had to considering I needed to have a taste of the Emerald Isle. To me it was between that and their Guinness Stew, or their Fish and Chips. It was the smart move. The mashed potatoes were cooked like I remember they were when I was in Ireland, the vegetables had good flavor, and the meat was minced just fine, but the flavors of it all worked beautifully. I should have used the sauce they provided to me as I remembered it from when I was in Ireland, but it is fine that I ate it without it. There is another Irish Pub, Mary O's, in the East Village, that I need to try as well. This one was great when it came to experience and service, but the tiny atmosphere made it hard to really be social. It still is worth going to for a lunch. read more

Came to Molly's twice and each time it's was such a pleasant experience. True Irish pub and the FOOD is so good! The hostesses are Irish, and they are super sweet and attentive!!

I walked in two minutes before their kitchen closed (unbeknownst to me) and asked if they were serving food. The bartender was so kind and told me if I ordered right away I could have anything on the menu. I gave him so many outs, but he insisted I could order anything from the menu. So I ordered the corned beef sandwich and fries; It was perfect. The beautiful woman who served the heaping helping asked me I wanted extra mustard, and the bartender stayed on top of service throughout my meal. This place is great. read more

A super old school Irish pub in Gramercy! A great place to come if you're looking for late night food in a cozy and classic setting. I don't know much about the history of Molly's, but it does seem like they have a story. You can tell the staff know the regulars, and the service was excellent. Their menu consisted of many Irish classics, like corned beef and cabbage, and pork sausage and mashed potato. We got the Irish Spice Bag - this is an absolute must order. It comes with fries, peppers, onions, and strips of chicken cutlet with a side of curry sauce - we loved this! And totally shareable. We also got the burger and fish and chips, neither memorable. A must try local spot if you're in Gramercy late night! read more

Stepping inside this restaurant pub immediately brought a smile to my face! The Christmas lights were strung everywhere and twinkling just right! Unfortunately it was packed so we couldn't get a table inside but we were able to get one in the outside cozy space. I got a pint of Smithwick's as I do at every Irish pub! And opted for the For dinner I chose the Chicken Curry - Tender Organic Chicken Breast, Peas, Curry Sauce. Served with Fries or Rice or Half & Half. It was half and half for me for sure a little rice a little fries what more could you ask for! Carb heaven! The curry wasn't too spicy and the meal was warm and delightful. Definitely what I needed that night!!? read more

Interior is too dark and brooding. Too old y but goody. This is 2025, not the Time of the Troubles..

Horrible manager. They brought me a salad with hair and when I asked her to look at it, she just silently took it away and didn't bring it back. Afterwards, we asked the manager who was serving our table to come over and change one order, to which she started to argue with us and point her finger at my six-year-old child, saying that the door is there and you can leave, such an order is outrageous for us, especially on Christmas Eve, which she ruined for us. read more

You get the full worth of what you pay for. This is just excellent. The restaurant offers delicious meals, decent prices and excellent attention. The team members display uncommon pleasantness. The place is strategically positioned and the staff was attentive from arrival to departure. read more

Great food and service--the best Shepherd's Pie I've ever had. They also make a very good Lamb Stew.

Came in on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch, split a burger with another person. Service was fair. The burger was SOLID. Pleasantly surprised! Would have burger again. On weekends they have brunch drinks for $8, too. Bloody Mary was decently spicy. read more

Why does a Irish Pub of all things have one of the best burger deals in the city? If both baffles me and also is so New York that it feels just right as well. Anyway, I've been here twice. The first time I was with a group and the other time I was here alone as I was in the mood for a burger again. They have a nice selection of your normal Irish brews (my personal preference is Smithwick's as well as a a mix of Smithwick's and Guinness. Another person had an old-fashioned which was very heavy-handed with the liquor (which I don't mind.) We decided to start with the Irish Spice Bag on my recommendation from another spot which is 15$ here which they list as "Ireland's Favourite Take-Away. Fried Chicken, Fries, Peppers, Onions, and Chili Peppers." It came with some curry sauce which was very tasty and the sauce also helped with the grease from all the fried foods in it. Nice big portion and very easy to share. I went with the beef burger (medium rare as usual) which is normally 18$ but I got it for 20$ with cheese (cheddar of course) and caramelized onions. It was either served with fries, onion ring, or if you're looking for something healthier a potato salad. The burger is massive and it was cooked properly both times I was here. I got the fries both time and the fries are tasty though I do prefer them a bit crispier. The onion rings another person ordered were tasty and quite large while the potato salad was fine. The coleslaw was fine as was the rest of the stuff served. It's not the best burger patty you'll ever have but it's hard to find a better deal. Most massive burgers in NYC outside of steakhouses are dry hockey pucks or so greasy that they aren't good and this is a definite delicious exception. Very friendly Irish staff and the bartender is also quite friendly. Not much really to complain about here. Mid 4 for the deal. Just don't go in expecting a fancy restaurant. read more

Upon first walking into Mollys, i was so surprised. It was decked to the nines with christmas lights, irish and NYC fare. I loved the decor. It's a clean place, doesnt smell like your typical NYC irish pub either (you know...that toilet and fabiloso smell). overall the dishes are pretty expensive. i paid $15 for 4 mozz sticks. and $22ish for a grilled chicken sandwhich with fries. Your beers will be $8 and drinks around $12, which isnt bad for NYC. The food, is a bit steep for what it is - although the food was GOOD, the fare is just simple. Onto the good shit... the mozz sticks come in a 4, and they are house made. they are so good! the sticks are big and thick, super cheesy, and come with a sauce. this sauce can be left alone. the sticks have a light bread outside and theyre lightly fried. the pesto on the chicken sandwhich was amazing. i think the thing that made this sandwhich stand out was the pesto. so much garlic and texture! fries were okay, nothing special. my friend grabbed the burger and she liked it, my other friend grabbed the fish and chips and she LOVED them. the service was good too. read more

Met friends for holiday drinks at Molly's. They go every year but this was my first time. Place is all decorated from Christmas and right across street from Rolfs so easy to hit them both.

We had a full day in the city and were looking for a bite to eat and spot to rest our weary feet. Molly's was perfect, we started off with the potato skins. There were three in the order, the bacon is under the cheese, and it was served with sour cream. Our server was Joanne, she was awesome. The atmosphere was very relaxed and it was exactly what we needed. We had burgers and they were cooked to perfection. All the toppings were options to have with the burger, we ordered fries with ours. Thanks to the staff at Molly's, we had a delicious meal. read more

Yum yum yum. There's nothing like a no frills Irish pub and Molly's is just that. Molly's allegedly serves one of the best burgers in NYC and it definitely made my list. As did the pickles, fries and onions rings that came along with it. Loved how you could get half onion rings and half fries with your burger. I would definitely recommend especially on a cold winter night. read more

Amazing service and vibes with Orla!!! Great way to watch the game and reasonable beer prices for the area. Definitely visit this summer!

Burger used to be one of the best in the city, however they recently changed it this past year or so. Experience: We ordered medium and the meat came out to be extremely well done with a sour gamey flavor that's similar to meat that is almost expired. Additionally, the meat itself was almost grainy, which is an odd texture considering it's supposed to be....a beef patty. Pickles were cut so thickly that they don't even stay within the burger. The burger bun also was changed as well. No longer do you have the delightful sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Additionally, the burger bun being toasted to a not-so-subtle "charcoal" color appears to be a feature and not a bug given that the other patrons around me also had similar toasted buns. Salad was also mostly wilted and borderline molding. The fries are the only thing that stayed the same. I suspect that with rising food costs, they could not use the same vendors that they previously used but wow, what a significant decrease in quality. 0 out of 10, would not get this again. read more

Perfect place for some Christmas cheer on a cold night. The place had fun Christmas lights to help ring in the cheer.

French onion soup. Do it. Put that shit on a flip flop and I'd eat it. Recently moved to a Gramercy and turned to Yelp to search for a new yummy spot to get a delicious FOS! Thank you thank youuu because it's cray. Molly's doesn't load the soup with the typical huge chunk of bread (carbs are the enemy), instead it's loaded with silky sweet onions, an herby broth with gooey cheese at the BOTTOM and then crispy cheese on top. Wtf. Genius. Also, sawdust on the floor. I dig it. Bartender named Jason was so gracious last night as I downed 4 glasses of Cabernet. Oh right people, forgot to mention- it seems like a whiskey/dive spot, but please come if you're on Yelp searching for a wine bar as well! Their house wines are priced reasonably and are quite delicious. Remember to get the French onion soup. And remember I told you to do it. read more
