Molly Malone's

There are Irish pubs that feature music, and then there are music venues that happen to live in an Irish pub. Molly Malone’s has been brewing up its own little pint of Dublin in L.A. since 1969 and showcasing musical talent (and a great beer list) every step of the way. Rock, Irish folk, country: The lineup spans the genre gamut, and with Molly’s stellar acoustics, it’s one of L.A.’s better pubs for catching a show—dinner and a show, in fact. On nights with live music (generally Thursday to Saturday), the kitchen is open late. While most of the bar’s food menu skews less than traditionally Irish, you can still find a few pub favorites like fish and chips. In either case, you’ll quite likely need sustenance while you dance the night away by the main stage, also known as the Snug.
