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.
Very Loud, but Good Food
I ordered the shepherd's pie (14) - it was excellent. Â My boyfriend ordered the salmon with mashed redskins and coleslaw (17). Â When it came out, the mashed potatoes were room temperature. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â The place echoes. Â There's no fabric on the walls or ceiling to absorb sound. Â It was frustrating to try to catch up on each others' lives. Â Why is such a loud eating experience supposed to be so wonderful?
Excellent Customer Service..But Food was JUST OK..Nothing we had in our group was considered great...It was a moment when you wished you had chosen something different.
Unless it's an Irish tradition that I am not aware of....who serves soft pretzels with beer cheese ALONG WITH Chocolate frosting and apples? Â Odd Combination. Â Wondered if we were having an APP or a dessert. Â
Clean and comfortable location..just not impressive.
Ordered: Fish and Chips, Irish Stew, Cajun Basket, and Shepard's Pie, Guinness Fondue, Loaded Fries.
Pretty decent selection of beers and there is always something on their special menu. Â The food is okay too. I really like the Guinness fondue. Their fish and chips is very good as well. Â I am not crazy for their fries but I really like the atmosphere and the Wednesday trivia game. Nice place to go in winter time.
Review Source:a hometown favorite of mine. Â Great drink selection, fabulous bar menu for delicious eats. Â Big fan of the pie. Â If your looking for a relaxing atmosphere away from the downtown club scene, where you don't want to be shoulder to shoulder this is you place. Â Fireplace helps set the mood.
Review Source:Good food, good music, its got a old Irish bar feel the floor is sticky the wood is dark the smell of Guinness. The food is excellent, I had the shepherds pie which is a common irish meal. They have kept the menu very close to Irish fare food. My cousin got the Fish and chips and he thought it was pretty good. I've love to see Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish mainly consisting of mashed potatoes with kale or cabbage. I've love to see some slow cooked Irish Stew on a cold winter day. I'm sure I'll have my chance when the winter shows up, about three months away.
Review Source:You must like Irish food to eat here. I've never really had any Irish cuisine so I had no idea what to order. What I had was good. Service was ok. It's pretty busy during lunch I wouldn't suggest going at that time. Our servers personality definitely made up for the wait time though. Atmosphere's nice.
Review Source:I have always loved Molly's. They don't do hokey drink specials, which keeps most of the college kids out of there, but they do have a great selection of beer and tasty Irish food. For those who enjoy Guinness beer mixes, they do it perfectly. If you want some Irish stew, corned beef, or Shepherd's Pie, this is probably the best you will get in Erie.
Review Source:Erie is right next to where I grew up but if you live in Edinboro you are always in Erie. A friend from home recently passed away and there was a get together held at Molly Brannigans. My yelp hiatus was because of my recent trips and melancholy. All of our friends came to this spot to celebrate the life of my dear friend also many out of towners. I don't think  I will ever remember this place in quite the same light but I will remember the graciousness of the staff.
I didn't have a chance to eat here but the bartenders are always fast and personable. After meeting so many new people the atmosphere here was just what everyone needed to feel comfortable. I will be back at some point, and it is so close to the Bayfront a perfect spot to kick back and enjoy the company you are keeping.
Erie is one hell of a creepy ass town, but Molly Brannigans at least allows that thought to slowly fade out of your mind while you sit and nosh away on their delish snacks, like the Guinness Fondue, and enjoy your beer.
Seriously though, a pretty deece pub in my book. Lots of seating and impressive menu/beer selection. Service was speedy and waitress so friendly. Lovelovelove it.
We stumbled upon this place in the fall as we were visiting Erie. fell in love with the colorful exterior and very authentic "irish pub" interior. The food was amazing as well as the service. I had the cheese and shrimp tortellini, and loved every bit of it. Beer selection is good and the prices are even better. Such a great place we had to go back again and again.
Review Source:I really enjoy this pub. It has a great atmosphere and I've always been very satisfied with my meal. Whenever family or friends come to town I take them here and they all have raved about Molly's. They offer a great selection of beer and have Magner Irish Cider!
I recommend trying their boxty's, they are delicious! There potato and leek soup and seafood chowder is also very tasty. They offer a good variety of sandwiches as well, including the Turkey Rachel! For lunch this is a great place to get some reasonable combo's of soup and salad or sandwich and soup for just $6.99. Staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. I recommend this place to everyone because it has a great variety of options to meet most peoples needs.
I'd rate this place somewhere between three and four stars. Â I was up in Erie one day this past week on business and I needed a place close by for lunch. Â Molly Brannigan's certainly filled the bill. Â I opted for something a little more basic--their Alpine Chicken Sandwich. Â Topped with Swiss Cheese and lettuce and tomato, it was pretty good.
This place is supposedly known for its beers, but since I'm a diabetic, I rarely drink alky-hol. Â But the food and service here seem pretty good.
