Molly’s Pub and Restaurant: NYC’s Little Piece of Ireland
By
Stop in for a burger and a pint, but leave the fake Irish accent on the street
It’s not often that a restaurant makes you feel like you’ve left behind the hustle and bustle of New York City, but that’s exactly how it is at Molly’s Pub and Restaurant. Once your eyes get used to the dim lighting, and your feet get used to the sawdust on the floor, it’s time to dig in. As great as the atmosphere at Molly’s is, the food and drink isn’t anything to shake a stick at either. With a wide array of standard bar food – and servings that must be meant to help you hold your beer – it’s a spot you’ll want to visit again and again.
Located in a quieter residential area, the crowd that frequents Molly’s is not the typical frat boys and college kids that are common of most bars – and that’s a good thing. Molly’s is the type of place that has regulars in at 2 PM, and that’s part of the charm; there aren’t too many places left in New York City where the owner bartends and knows the names of everyone who pulls up a stool. In short, this Manhattan bar manages to provide just about everything one could ask for in a pub. Luckily for all of us, Molly’s is soon going to add two more locations in Manhattan. If they manage to capture even half of the charm of the original, we’ll all be able to escape to the Emerald Isle state of mind a little more.
