Molly's Pub & Restaurant Shebeen, New York

This fun but relaxed Irish pub, complete with Tudor ceilings, iron chandeliers and sawdust on the floors, is a favorite among locals and one of New York City's finest spots to have a pint of Guinness beer. The crowd is very friendly, and the bar is staffed by genuine Irish folk. There are occasionally Irish football matches (soccer to all you Yankees) on the television. Molly's also serves standard pub fare, which has a hint of Egyptian, Mexican and Haitian cuisines.
