P J Molloy & Sons

Walk into P J Molloy & Sons and you're stepping into the kind of place that's been pulling pints and hosting musicians for years—the sort of bar that doesn't need to shout about what it does. You'll find yourself in a buzzy atmosphere where locals prop up the bar next to visitors who've heard there's something worth catching live. The drinks list takes itself seriously (real ale drinkers, pay attention), and the vibe shifts entirely depending on who's on stage. Some nights it's intimate and acoustic; others, the whole street can practically hear the bass from outside.
