Molly Malone's has been the stray Irish Rovers' pub of choice for more than 30 years in Los Angeles. Molly's is rivaled only by neighboring Tom Bergin's as the place to be for the wearing of the green. Both have diehard fans, but Molly's is the more contemporary of the two. There's usually a de facto cover charge (due to a steady rotation of live music) just to drink at the main bar, and the low-priced fare is solid Eire and just what you'd expect -- but there's a lot you might not expect, such as T-bone steaks or even tacos. They're better known for their libations (especially the Irish Coffee), and for practically any draught you'd hope for. It's a beer lovers' bar; a local favorite with a dark, old-fashioned interior that attracts the neighbors en masse. If you need grub with a bit more spice, try Mani's for excellent soups and desserts, or Lola's for a classy gourmet martini after getting your tin flute on.

We were very disappointed to have been rejected entry with our son. Having lived in the UK as well as Ireland I am used to pubs being family oriented. Especially Irish pubs offer games, family brunches and other events particulary for kids. This place is just a greedy bar for...
Seriously, this is not an Irish Pub. Walked in today and the only other person in the place was a Spanish-speaking bartender. Nothing against someone coming to this country to make a living - isn't that what out ancestors did - but there are plenty of Irish immigrants in this...

watch out for the bartender- short girl with brown hair- I think her name is Annette- she was very rude, and actually had us kicked out after starting a...

I can't exactly pinpoint what it is I really like about this place. It just feels like a classic bar that will welcome you out of the cold and fill you up...

Molly Malone's is a good neighborhood bar. No frills...what you see is what you get. My pals and I went on a Tuesday night. It was not busy but the...
