Here it is! The second delicious and festive post in our series with Red Letter Hospitality. We spent Friday night at a happy holiday hour (or two) at our favorite local Irish pub: Molly Brannigan’s.

Molly Brannigan’s is located right in downtown Erie and has transformed into a Christmas bar for the season. The decor is so fun and festive and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. We experienced the downtown Erie Christmas tree light up event from our warm cozy spot inside. We also love that Red Letter Hospitality supports other local businesses and Erie natives. Friday night was the local art museum’s gallery night and Molly’s hosted our favorite local artist Helen Tullio and her beautiful, breathtaking pieces.

Molly Brannigan’s has lots to drink including seasonal beers on tap, special cocktails, and whiskey flights. The drink featured above is the LAKESHORE LEMONADE (blueberry-mint infused vodka with simple syrup and fresh lemon juice.)

Their food menu is as warm and welcoming as the pub itself. We indulged in the TUSCAN CHICKEN PANINI and the DUBLINER CHEDDAR MAC AND CHEESE. Comfort food at its finest! Our waiter Josh was attentive, fun, and cheerful. We enjoyed our evening out and about very much thanks to him!

Just like their sister restaurant from our previous post The Cork you should absolutely put Molly Brannigan’s on your holiday season list of places to visit. Wishing you all a fab-YULE-us holiday season!
