Molly’s at the Market
1107 Decatur Street
New Orleans, LA
504- 525-5169
(French Quarter)
This bar has local character and then some. A broad mix of regulars from inside and outside New Orleans. Open since 1974 by owners Carol and Jim Monaghan near The French Market and Lower French Quarter. Over the course of 30 years, Molly's has become the hang-out for local, national and international media and political figures. Part of what makes Molly's so unique is the eclectic collection of people, personalities and artifacts. Like every good
Every year Molly's sponsors a St. Patrick's Day Parade and a Halloween Parade. In the wake of the catastrophe in 2005 known as Hurricane Katrina, Molly's stayed open throughout the ordeal, providing a respite for locals and relief workers alike. The Halloween Parade even went on as scheduled. After more than 30 years, Molly's has shown itself to be a staple of the authentic "New Orleans Experience", or as we like to call it, everyday life.
