It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Stepping foot into Molly’s you might notice some unique decor, sawdust on the floor. The sawdust was common back in. It also made it easy to slide a keg (or a passed out drunk) across the floor. But tradition alone doesn’t make Molly’s one of the best Irish pubs in New York City.
You’ll find a simple but sensational menu with hearty classics (try the shepherd’s pie) and cold beer on tap. Plus, Molly’s is one of the coziest Irish pubs in New York City, and I’m not talking about the warm fuzzy feeling you’ll get from the whiskey or beer. The pub has a wood-burning fireplace which makes it hard to leave, so I guess I’ll have another round. ;
