Molly Brannigans Irish Pub & Restaurant

First, the good. My wife got a fish sandwich and it was fine. She has excellent taste, and if she says its good, it is.

Second, the bad. We ordered Sapphire gin cocktails, very dry. They came very wet. We don't send a lot of stuff back, but they were, to our taste, undrinkable. The waiter seemed to think very dry was just normal vermouth. When, the replacements came, they were hot. Not cold, not cool, hot. We gave up, held our nose, and drank them. I don't know if the bartender was angered, or what, but they made no effort to chill the gin. I think they pour a lot of beer and just don't have knowledgeable bartenders.

I ordered corned beef and cabbage. The corned beef was cool and tough. The cabbage was way over cooked. The carrots were ok. I had asked the waiter what was popular and he said the fish dishes. I should have picked up on the nuance.

If you go here, stick with beer and the popular dishes.

Everything was ship-shape at this location. Appetizers were hot and delivered in a timely manner. Service was friendly and helpful. A few menu items were not available. All parties with me enjoyed.

Very Loud, but Good Food

I ordered the shepherd's pie (14) - it was excellent.  My boyfriend ordered the salmon with mashed redskins and coleslaw (17).  When it came out, the mashed potatoes were room temperature.  The waitress took it back, and apparently the cook prepared a whole new plate - it took a while. The second plate was only a little warmer than the first.  The salmon and mashed redskins together were about half as much food as the shepherd's pie, and certainly not worth three dollars more.
Other friends ordered the corned-beef sandwich, and were disappointed. It was burnt and soggy at the same time.  They said they've had better here in the past.
The three stars in my rating is because we all had to shout to talk, and even doing that, it was hard to understand each other.  The place echoes.  There's no fabric on the walls or ceiling to absorb sound.  It was frustrating to try to catch up on each others' lives.  Why is such a loud eating experience supposed to be so wonderful?
