Molly Malone's Irish Pub

- Price range: $$ ($9-$15)
This is an exceptionally Irish outpost, from the colorful, Dublin-esque facade to the Guinness on tap to the live Irish music. Two fireplaces keep it cozy and there's rarely a cover charge. Under new ownership from Bobby Gomez (Beat Kitchen, Subterranean), expect some upgrads at Molly's: flatscreen TVs around the bar area to watch rugby and soccer matches, a headed outdoor terrace (smoking allowed!) and a party room upstairs.
