Molly's Shebeen Bar + Restaurant

Very kind staff, excellent food, and awesome atmosphere!

What a cool team, our server and her manager--they kept us laughing when they weren't being really nice to some very young diners.

Wonderful service.
A real pub from the past

This place is a gem. I work about three blocks away and a co-worker and I come here once every two weeks or so for lunch. The menu is pretty standard issue but the food is great. I've liked the shepherd's pie, curry, sausage and mash, etc. but honestly I usually just get a turkey burger. The only dish I haven't really liked that much is the cobb salad (which is maybe to be expected).

The best parts of this place, however, are the ambiance and the bartenders. The interior is cavernous with lots of dark hardwood fixtures--it is so dark inside in fact that when you come out on sunny days you get a little bit dazed. Finally, the bartenders are the best. Very responsive and generous!

Piece of advice: sit at the bar, even if not getting drinks! If there isn't room at the bar, sit at the booths across the aisle from the bar. Do your best to avoid sitting in the restaurant section in the back. Why? Usually during the day there is only the bartender and an expediter/busser; on the rare occasion when we have sat in the restaurant the service has been not great---a lot of that section is also out of the eyeline of the bartender, making things even more difficult.

Yum! A great spot for comfort food and drinks that's open pretty late! The atmosphere is cozy and has pretty lighting, and there's both a bar and separate tables. The kitchen seems like it closes at 12am, so do keep that in mind (the bar is open quite a bit later).

I got the sausage with mashed potatoes and gravy and it was delicious! The gravy was rich and flavorful, the sausage springy and juicy, and the mash teetered on the perfect balance between creamy and fluffy. Loved the onions on top too! Everything together made for some wonderful bites. A comforting and hearty meal for sure.

I didn’t order any drinks this time but I would imagine that a tall glass of beer would've completed the experience. Maybe next time!

Update: I came back and tried the fish and chips with a couple of beers. Also really good! The batter was crispy and the fish was tender and juicy. The tartar sauce was delicious, sweet and tangy, although I do wish it came with some more. The guiness beers had the perfect layer of foam on top of them too!

Popped in for a couple of creamy pints of Guinness after a show. Hostess was brilliant, drinks were great and the food looked amazing.

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.

It was a fun place to visit during the holidays...cute decor. The bar area was crowded and there was no waiting area,so waiting at the bar for your table was a mess.
