Molly's Shebeen Pub 7.9
Gramercy
Vibes: Comfort Food Classics Happy Hour Hotspots Group Dining Gatherings Family Friendly Favorites
A Gramercy Irish pub where the burger plays best as a hearty, beer-friendly anchor rather than a chef-y statement. The room is built for long hangs, so order the burger while you’re fresh, then let the pub rhythm take over.
Must-Try Dishes: Molly's 10oz Burger, Shepherd's Pie, Fish & Chips
Scores:
Value: 7.8 Service: 7.6 Consistency: 8.1 Food Quality: 8.1 Atmosphere: 8.4 Cultural Relevance: 8.6
What makes it special: A classic pub burger in a true Gramercy tavern setting.
Who should go: Pub people who want dinner without fuss
When to visit: Early evening before the late-night crowd
What to order: 10oz burger, fries, one classic pub side
Insider tip: Order the burger early—later hours skew more bar-first.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability and competitive after 6pm. Rideshare or walking is easier in the evening.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual — jeans and sweaters fit right in; no need to dress up.
Noise level: Moderate early, lively and loud later — conversation is easy before 8pm, tougher late-night.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes during peak hours without a reservation
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or a short 5–10 minute wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — a few pub-style vegetarian options and sides are available.
Vegan options: Limited — mainly sides; best for flexible eaters rather than strict vegans.
Gluten-free options: Limited — some naturally gluten-free dishes, but no dedicated prep assurances.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual, low-pressure first meet than a romantic one — relaxed pub energy, not an intimate vibe.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially earlier in the evening or on weekdays; later nights may require some patience.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during daytime and early evening — families are welcome, though it skews more adult later at night.
Best For
Better for: Long hangs, group-friendly meals, and a burger that pairs naturally with beers in a true neighborhood pub setting.
Skip if: You’re looking for a chef-driven burger, a quiet date-night room, or a tightly curated dining experience.
