Often named New York’s most authentic Irish pub , Molly’s offers a variety of traditional Irish dishes, like chicken potpie, pub sausage and mashed potatoes , and corned beef and cabbage . Read more

U can't go wrong w/ the corned beef & cabbage here. The meat is the leanest corned beef I've seen. Comes w/ plenty of meat & cabbage w/ some carrots too, a peeled baked potato & a yummy dill sauce .

Gothamist

This wee Irish pub not only griddles up a ridiculously good burger , they also torch a roaring wood fire that fills the space with a warm glow. Stop in for a perfect pint or an Irish Coffee . Read more

This pub not only griddles up a good burger , they also torch a wood fire that fills the space with a warm glow and plenty of heat. Stop in for a perfect pint or an Irish Coffee to warm frozen noses. Read more

nice authentic pub full of Irish people ☘️. Crowded place with good food (Shepherds pie is ????????????????????????), old wooden floor and endless Guinness ????

Men's Health Mag

The floors are covered with sawdust and the fireplace burns actual wood. Plus, the bartenders boast legitimate brogue—and, more to the point, know how to pour a perfect pint. Read more

Gothamist

It's green season, St. Paddy's Day has arrived. To celebrate with some authentic Irish food , head over to Molly's where you can wash down the lamb stew or fish and chips with some Guinness goodness. Read more

Serious Eats

Neighborhood Irish pub with a great vibe (sawdust on the floor included) and some solid classics like burgers , pot pie , and fish and chips .

The Corcoran Group

The burgers here are awesome, plain and simple. Enjoy one in front of the fireplace , along with an Irish Coffee to warm you up!

Robert Fiore

Awesome burger on a pretzel roll . Sheppard’s Pie , Chicken Pot Pie with a pastry crust. Ruben sandwich . Fish and chips (fresh cod ). All soo good!

Karen

The shepherd's pie is delicious and super hearty. A side of fries is definitely shareable between 2-3 people.

First We Feast

If you want to stick with the Gaelic theme, opt for the shepherd's pie—the ultimate Emerald Isle comfort food , built here with savory ground beef and thick mashed potatoes . Read more

Molly’s serves up 10 oz. patties, which is the only minor flaw in their game. The burgers have a nice char, but the heft of the patty leaves the center of the burger tasting flat. Read more

Molly's is a great old-fashioned pub with delicious food! Burgers are great as is the corn beef sandwich . Really anything. Excellent staff !

Nancy Kang

Very cozy atmosphere ! Wood burning fireplace , ceilings covered w/ colorful lights, sawdust on the floors... Not to mention ever-so-friendly Irish service!

Meaghan Smith

Great little Irish pub . Sawdust on the floor, a working fireplace and actual Irish people on staff . Great little find and a relaxing atmosphere .

Tyler Caine

If you're searching for a pun burger , then come on in. Don't mind the sawdust on the floor. The burger is big and juicy with a touch of Irish hospitality . Not a top ten for me, but not bad.

Zach Steere

Some of the best burgers in the city . Also, the cozy atmosphere , the fireplace , and the sawdust on the floor make tho one to check out. Highly recommended.

Kev Skinny

This place is everything you could ask for when in the mood for a real irish establishment. Burger knocked me on my ass in a good way.

Tali Keteri

Order everything. No lie. The mozzarella sticks are homemade and aamazing. I haven't had a single thing here that hasn't been freakin genius. Best guinness in the city and my favorite bartender ever.

Anna Varshavsky

The. Best. Irish. Pub . EVER! (or at least in NYC) The burgers are as big as your head, the onion rings are to die for and the staff will never forget your face.

DoubleDeuce

They stick to their theme pretty closely so it's always a consistent experience. If you get the burger , they have the best side salad around.

John Paterakis

This is the place to be on a cold rainy day. Three words. Guinness . Beef . Stew .

sabler

It's the dead of winter, this is where you grab lunch on an icy weekend afternoon. It's not really up for discussion.

Joseph Huppert

The burgers and hand cut fries are probably the best in the city . Fabulous fish & chips . Drinks could be more generous.

John Paterakis

Good beer , great craic, sawdust on the floor, and a roaring fireplace in the winter. It doesn't get better than this!

M Gonzalez

The burgers are amazing!

Erin Shea

Authentic “old New York”. Filled with Irish people . Order yourself a Guinness and enjoy!

First We Feast

Molly's 10-ounce burger is a juicy, messy behemoth that we'd come back for time and time again. Read more

sabler

One of the most legit Irish pubs in the city , unfortunately it gets a bit crowded on weekends

Nitzan B

Loved it so much! Best hamburger in New York and the place is really cute

David DiGregorio

This is a cozy space with a bar staff who will chat back at you. It is easy to pass hours here.

Paul Katcher

The corned beef on toasted rye with spicy Colman'a mustard is huge, moist and a total winner.

Kate Wagner

Get some miwadi in your Guinness . One of the few bars that carry it in NYC.

Patrick Waivers

The brunch is delicious. Get the Irish Breakfast Deluxe!

Lauren Amaio

Awesome place. Totally deceiving from the outside. Great atmosphere and bartenders .

Burgered

Great burger , keeping it simple with bacon and american cheese .

amNewYork

This classic bar survived Prohibition by posing as a grocery , and in 1964 was made over in its current style and named Molly Malone’s. Twenty years ago, it was renamed Molly’s Shebeen.

Romi Kim

A decent, relatively quiet bar when you want to get away from the douchiness that is Murray Hill (which hopefully is always...)

Christopher Vano

Best irish pub in the city . Amazing onion rings and mozzarella sticks .

Tina Lender

Great Irish brunch . Christmastime is festive here. Peanut shells on the floor.

Milun Tesovic

Grab a guineas, burger and a seat at the bar for interesting comvos. Still deciding if patrons are awesome or crazy

Lindsay G

Murphy's on tap , sawdust on the floor, and the best burger around. Can't beat it!

Gordon Mei

Chicken fingers + honey mustard = crazy delish. Ask about the seasonal beer .

Andrew

The big fat juicy burgers with thick steak fries are worth the trip.

Kim Ahearn

Great, giant burgers ! But $2 fee to share a plate is bogust.

Jason Kapler

If there is a heaven there better be a bar like this with burgers this massive.
