This bar had a nice vibe and far less indecency than the rest of the city. They I believe also own a bar further East called 13. I didn't like that one as much as this one but same deal. Bathroom was kinda scary and very dark though. it also had typical bar food but w/ some a decent amount of vegetarian options, I did not eat here though.
Review Source:Decent little dive bar. Â Definitely has a good following. Â I was there on Thursday night for $1 High Life... surprisingly barely acceptable! Â Wanted to get something else but the other beers were $5.
I was actually asking the bartender earlier in the night how much the beers are to decide if I could succumb to the High Life, and she was pretty cold/unfriendly in answering me. Â All night I didn't get the vibe that she loved her job. Â I ended up going to the much friendlier bartender at the back bar.
My absolute favorite place to get a drink and people watch in the French Quarter.
I love to sit in the front window and just watch the folks go by!
It has a wonderful jukebox, a photo-booth and a pretty decent kitchen that makes some yummy treats when you need to eat something so you can keep on drinking.
It's one of those places that I have been going to since forever and I am sort of amazed that I haven't reviewed to already. LOVE IT HERE!!
Meh. Â Drinks are good I guess. I can't figure out why it's so brightly lit. Â And the staff is so unfriendly, I may as well be at home in Nashville. Â Kinda not worth it. Â It *looks* like a New Orleans bar, with old wood, cobblestones in the court, and dark, decades-old memorabilia hanging about, but the feel reminds me of the no-nonsense drink-slinging you'd get in a typical touristy bar. Â Unlike my favorite spots in town, the folks here just don't seem to enjoy what they do for a living. Â
Bad week at Mollys? Â I certainly hope so.
We didn't have a cat sighting, but we did enjoy the $4 frozen Irish coffees. Â I thought about the photobooth, forgot about it, thought about it again and wondered if 2 of us could squeeze in there, and then I ordered another Irish coffee.
On a Thursday night, it was somewhat noisy and crowded in here. Â I could still have a conversation with the person next to me though. Â This was the smokiest bar we'd visited, with two big, burly biker-looking dudes next to us puffing on cigarettes and not caring about the direction they held their cigarettes which had this wussy from smoke-free Chicago coughing and praying that my contacts wouldn't dry out. Â I'd waited all week to go to Molly's, and I wanted to enjoy it! Â Luckily, they didn't stay long.
They've got some good drink deals going on which were marked on the board outside. Â We gradually made our way to this side of the quarter. Â It's a good place to end a bar crawl.
One of the tastiest, and least expensive, drinks in New Orleans. Â My only regret is that I didn't buy one of the funky t-shirts for sale with the bar's logo.
Down to earth bar in the middle of the madness~
Unfortunately, I did not get to meet the resident cat or by him a shot of milk, but next time for sure! Molly's was a nice mix of locals and tourists, the prices were reasonable, bartenders were friendly and the drinks were strong.
Another bartender suggested we try the frozen coffee and I have to admit I was skeptical about any froz en drinks, until I saw them make a batch.
They used real coffee that they had breded at the bar and bottles of booze - score! I had one and it was amazing, so I would certainly recommend.
BF also had a hot toddy which was great and there was a cool photo booth in the back too!
Molly's is our french quarter Sunday Funday go-to spot.  On a chilly day, the hot buttered rum is fantastic! What's that? You've never had a hot buttered rum you say? Go, go now. Tastes like a warm werther's original! The bartenders are friendly and attentive. Everytime I've gone it's been female bartenders.  Sometimes you find girl bartenders aren't always friendly to girl patrons. Not here! These ladies are great! I dig the juke box with irish rock and local favorites. Molly's has a laid back pub feel, where I think  most would feel welcome. Not to mention, they've got a decent selection of local brews on tap.
Review Source:Mr. Wu + hot buttered rum. I'm not sure that there's a better combination. My boyfriend and I visited a ton of bars in the French Quarter, and this was one of our hands down favorites. We were here over our winter holiday, and they had stiff, affordable, DELICIOUS hot Toddies, Irish coffees, and hot buttered rum. The service was fast, and the bartender (in glasses) was adorable. Scrumptious drinks, attractive and kind bartenders, and the world's most nonchalant bar cat (seriously, he's got an extra DGAF attitude, relative to other cats) in quite possibly the coolest city I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. What more could you ask for in a bar?
Review Source:I came here because I heard about the Irish Frozen Coffee. I had just finished riding my bike 1700 miles with a friend and we needed a drink. That is the drink that should be consumed when in New Orleans. Actually, there are several but that is one of the kingly drinks. This bar and its sister bars/cafes are pretty damn great. The next time I'm in NOLA I have every intention of stopping in here again.
Review Source:It was my Mom's birthday and I wanted to drink a toast to her with her favorite drink - Black Velvet - on a dive on Decauter Street (it's a long story) So I threw out a request to NOLA Yelpers and Shannon S. <a href="http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=1HM81n6n4iPIFU5d2Lokhw">http://www.yelp.com/user…</a> came to my rescue with a suggestion to try this place, NOLA Yelpers are always quick to help with suggestions. NOLA Yelp is the best!
Alas, apparently dive bars don't carry Black Velvet. I know cause I went into multiple bars looking for it and no one had it. I ended up buying a bottle at a dive liquor store on Canal Street and hubby and I drank a toast out of a paper bag on Decauter. (What was Mom thinking drinking that swill?) We abandoned the remainder, but fulfilled our mission to wish Mom a Happy Birthday.
Actually, this bar was a lot nicer than a typical dive. It was kind of nice and all woody, and clean from where I stood. I'll go back sometime and order a drink I'll enjoy!
Good Golly!
After a long night in the French Quarter, the evening started winding down, so we took our caravan to Molly's at the Market for drinks and food.
I was having a rough go a things at this point. Â The traveling had got to me, and one of my peeps noticed that I was no longer enjoying myself. Â He said to me, "Hey, you look like you're having a bad time. Â I'm going to buy you a burger." Â It was the single greatest thing another male has ever said to me. Â So he bought me a lamb burger.
I have no idea how much this lamb burger costs, but it was worth every penny! Â The meat was so tender, and it had been a while since I had eaten, which just hightened the experience. Â
The back bar was pretty cool. We just stayed there for the remainder of a French Quarter excursion, until a couple of drunks started to fight over a bottle of ketchup and proceeded to douse our group with the red, red kroovy.
However, they mostly got me. Â Shoes, jeans, jacket. Â Ketchup.
A bad end to a rough night. Â
However, you make a mean lamb burger, Miss Molly!
attacked their photo booth on nye...dont know how long we were in mollys...dont remember if we ordered from the bar...dont know how we got there bahaha
but i do remember stopping in the next day on our way to wander frenchman and stopping in my tracks cause there was a cat starin me dead in the eyes
it took a few days but ive come to full agreement with myself that nola is an entire world all to itself, and a cat in a bar shouldnt come as a huge surprise
lots of history on the walls to read about while ur friends play with said cat
didnt get to try frozen coffee...next time :)
I love Mr. Wu, the bar cat. Â After a few drinks, I pet him for a long time while he slept. Â He didn't wake up, but occasionally stretched in a satisfying way. Â Tough work, being a bar cat.
On a cold day, you might find Mr. Wu near the heater by the bathroom in the back of the bar. Â
The frozen Irish coffee is as good as they say, a perfect drink on a hot day. Â
The bartenders are pretty, friendly, and efficient. Â The best seat in the bar is by the open window where you can best hear the jukebox and watch/interact with the Decatur Street passerbys. Â
This is the perfect stop after a walk around the French Quarter. Â Bonus: they had The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York available on the jukebox - the perfect song for the holidays!
I love a bar in New Orleans but what I REALLY LOVE about this place is that they have a bar cat. Â Enter.. Mr. Wu. Â He's an adorable, mild-mannered bar cat that adds a great deal to this lovely bar. Â The staff and patrons all think he's the shizz and I even saw their t-shirt "Wu Dat" for Saints games.
The staff at the bar are very friendly and very quick to make sure you have a drink in your hand. Â I like the location of this bar as it's at the end of Decatur so after a few Guinness' you can pop on over to Frenchmen street for some musical enjoyment.
I didn't have any food here but heard that taco night is the bomb (apparently cheap AND delicious). Â Really dig this bar and will absolutely be back every time I'm in NOLA.
One of my favorite stops in New Orleans. Â The prices are super cheap, the pours are the complete opposite of stingy, and the staff is incredibly nice.
The walls are decorated with all kinds of interesting history most of which I don't understand but the rest of the decor is pretty downtrodden. It really is one of the dumpier dives I've been in and the lavatory is borderline comical but don't let that bother you. Also interesting is the ever present cat that seems to live here.
Out front there is always a sign for $5 drink specials. Ignore all of them and go straight to the frozen Irish Coffee. Â It's a frozen slushly like cocktail with the consistency and color of a Wendy's chocolate frosty but tastes like coffee with booze in it. It really is one of my favorite drinks anywhere so much so that return trips to New Orleans for my friends and myself have been motivated by these frozen drinks.
I love Molly's! One of my favorite bars in the Quarter, and really, just anywhere in the city. Molly's is not the place to go for some fancy-pants drinks nor do they have live music. But if you want to drink a couple beers and have some great people-watching, this is the place to go. Molly's is ground zero for some great events in the Quarter, especially the Halloween and St Patrick's parades. One time I even got to see Edwin Edwards as a grand marshal of a parade just outside Molly's.
A tasty treat Molly's serves up is the frozen Irish coffee. Exactly what it sounds like, and more delicious than you'd expect. My man and I recently stopped by Molly's before Hurricane Isaac blew in, and it was just the last hurrah we needed before losing our power for 5 days. They vowed to stay open the entire time, though we were too hunkered down to go back and see if that was true.
Edited to add: Hat tip to the dude below me who mentioned the ashes set up above  the bar. SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS I have been to Molly's so many times, and didn't notice it until last week, when the lady sitting next to me was like, "Uh, are those really someone's ashes up there?" According to the bartender, they're from an old regular whose body was never claimed from the morgue. Molly's owner offered to pay for his cremation provided he could keep the ashes at the bar.
And the rest, as they say, is history...
I came here looking for Mr. Wu but he was no where to be found. Â I was quite sad, Molly's is your typical NO bar with it's own history.
Visiting NO for a weekend, it was conveniently close to Central Grocery and Cafe Du Monde. Â I went during the middle of the day so it was pretty empty.
Regardless of how long I have lived here, I always find a bar I have never been to. Molly's is one of those places.
On a recent multi-stop bar tour, I ended up at Molly's. The bar area is not as large as some of the surrounding places, but it seemed cleaner, and was definitely better lit. That isn't necessarily a good thing since I think bars should be somewhat dark, but I liked it anyway.
The bartender was friendly and prompt with our beer order. There was a large container of some sort of punch, but it seemed to be someones private reserve booze. I would have been interested to know more, but we didn't stay long enough.
The crowd seemed more local than tourist, which is always nice when you're in the Quarter. If I am in the area again, I would keep this bar on my list of places to stop.
It was my very first time to New Orleans and this was the very first place we had hit-up upon our arrival into our hotel. Â If bars were ambassadors for places that people should visit when in New Orleans then Molly's at the Market takes it!
Very close friend of my boyfriend and myself had his pre-marriage bar hop (that's when the bride is present) at Molly's. Â I never felt like I was in the presence of New Orleans history as I did here. Â There was only one bartender but she sure hustled and bustled the place. Â Not an empty drink in sight or sad sap, just pure cheer and laughter. Â It was the weekend before Halloween and from the presences of so many locals and tourists of the like it really feels as if a celebration always ensues at Molly's.
The location is great for getting the French Quarter vibe, but also works for people traveling by foot or trolley. Â It's a total hole in the wall, with the occasional hole in the floor - so ladies be warned with your fancy stilettos. Â Cash only, dogs are cool and you are allowed to bring in food - although I am not sure why you would since there is a small food stand just on the back patio. Â
Thanks for existing Molly's at the Market, appreciate ya!
This is a cool place to check out, if you want to get off of the beaten path of Bourbon Street. Â There is always a good crowd in here and the staff is really nice. Â The bar is decorated with old New Orleans memorabilia and has a kind of "old, gritty" New Orleans feel.
They do serve food, although I've never eaten here and the food looks a little shady and boring.
The bar has a back area, but I'm not experienced enough with the place to vouch for all that.
This is probably one of the best bars (and maybe the best) on the Esplanade side of the French Quarter. Â There is usually a majority of locals here with a sprinkling of tourists and other random people. Â They have food here but I've never eaten it or really even desired it as Coops is so very close I always think why even bother with anything else. Â
My main complaint about this bar is the fact that they have absolutely inadequate bathroom facilities with two one hole bathrooms with one for each sex and signs proclaiming only one person at a time is allowed. Â the size of this bar would easily allow for better bathroom facilities and they are FAR overdue to expand the current pathetic situation.
I've always found the service of the bartenders to be outstanding and they deal with large crowds very efficiently and seem to find a way to always provide rapid service. Â I've ALWAYS had an interesting time in this bar and it is also a great venue to catch some great events that pass right in front of it like the Krewe du Vieux.
Andre Codrescu, you lied!
Like brightly-lit, squeaky-clean bars? You'll love this place. Like being advertised to via an animated sign while trying to enjoy a drink? This is your joint. Enjoy pro-death penalty slogans? Molly's is for you. Think displaying staged photos of police "clearing" the convention center after Katrina is in good taste? You've found your home away from home.
Unless you're a tourist from the Midwest, there are too many great bars on lower Decatur to waste your time here.
Even if Molly's is your style, the service is perplexingly bad. Somehow, the bartender misheard "Abita Amber" and brought me an Absolute Mandarin. You can't make this stuff up.
To the asshole bartending the back bar who told us to "go back home" after my (first-time visitor) friend tried to order a hurricane ("this ain't Bourbon St."): This was my home. I sat in this goddamned bar every single night after getting off work at Fiorella's. This bar was the last place I sat, until the sun came up, the night before I left town after my house was condemned.
So, rad that you've since taken over this place with your requisite hipster face tattoo, but really, a simple "don't got it, what else can I get you" would have sufficed. Nice to see hospitality is still alive and well. If I recall, it's what pays the bills in this town.
What's that? You want to know whats better than a vodka soda for $3.50? Well, that would be a $3.50 vodka soda thats "for here" or "to-go." And yes, it was my first time to New Orleans.
Mollys is a little dive bar with some very efficient bartenders. The bar was empty around 7 but got packed right around 8:30pm on a Friday night. They also serve food but I'd recommend coming here for drinks and going else where to eat and friendly bartenders.
But more importantly, I got to meet up with some awesome Yelpers! Lindsay, Marielle and Scott - You guys rock my Yelp!!
You'd think WTF can I say about a bar that has been reviewed 40 freaking times, then you realize, -Wait, nobody has mentioned the cremated body of Max Clevenger above the bar. Seriously, ashes of that caliber are not going to grace just any bar...Coyote Ugly may be great for catching syph from a spit shot, but Max and Jim Sr. would never let their remains sit with dignity upon those shelves.
Institution is the word. Â It dont matter how spry you are, when you are dead, Mollys will still be there, and it will still be a pleasant place to while away hours alone, with a bartender, with friends, or with the random yahoo who just sat next to you.
I cant speak for their beer selection, seems big, but I order the same thing every time. Cant speak for the kitchen, as near as I can tell, every 6 months its something entirely new. But the bar stools are solid...they don't collapse when you sit on them, and if you want drinks they serve them to you...that's what I look for in a bar.
I just came back after putting 28 songs on the jukebox, and none of them sucked, though.. Thats not easy, neither.
Dont be afraid to crane your neck and read the articles on the wall opposite the bar, call that rudimentary New Orleans History 101.
I was going to rate it 4 stars, but then I remembered they serve booze. 5 stars indeed.
Too crowded on weekends. But some people like that. Â I crochet on Fridays, so that don't bother me none.
A great juke box. Â Friendly bartendresses (and b-tenders). Â Get the window seat and spend the afternoon saying "afternoon ya'll" to everyone walking Decatur Street. Â My fav is Tara (Betty Page with tattoo's) and #2 is Ashley. Â They are usually day time latter part of the week.
The frozen Irish coffee is great. Â Occasionally I add a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream. Â Bloody Mary's are famous too.
Wendy has good food in the back. Â Go to the back and order, they'll deliver good bar munchies.
I'm a huge fan of Molly's!! Â My boyfriend and I went there on our first date and never left the jukebox...it's so freakin' good!! Â With artists like Neutral Milk Hotel, The Decemberists, Radiohead, and M. Ward...I really don't need anything else, except maybe a few more dollar bills. Â
We went after Jazz Fest....put lots of songs on...I downed at least two of their fantastic frozen Irish coffees to stay awake during my drunken state...passed out 30 minutes later...didn't get to hear a single song I selected. Â Thanks Molly's for another job well done!
