Molly Malone’s is a family-run Irish pub with a live-music history that includes Flogging Molly, which got its start there. The music room, called the Snug, sits behind the front bar; its walls display portraits of longtime customers and Irish figures. Expect a pub evening with a separate space for the show, a stage, and a bar nearby, where you can order a pint and pub food such as fish and chips. The front room is also a place to talk and have a drink, while the Snug brings the focus to the performers. The pub is on South Fairfax Avenue in Mid-Wilshire, near the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
