Patrick Molloy’s: Irish Soul, Hermosa Heart

For nearly three decades, Patrick Molloy’s has been a Hermosa Beach favorite—an Irish-American sports pub with warm hospitality, great food, and unforgettable memories. Nestled just steps from the sand, it’s where locals gather, visitors feel at home, and the Guinness is always poured to perfection.

Led by CEO Fiona Fleming—whose Irish roots and global hospitality experience shape everything from the scratch-made menu to the welcoming vibe—Molloy’s blends old-world tradition with laid-back California spirit. Beverage Director Kevin Jones and Head Chef Gabriel “Gaby” Gutierrez round out a passionate team that prides itself on clean draft lines, elevated pub fare, gluten-free options, and signature cocktails like the must-try Frozen Irish Coffee.

Whether you’re stopping in for a live Irish band, catching the game, or just craving a pint and friendly conversation, you’ll find that Molloy’s is more than a bar—it’s part of the community. Just ask anyone who’s seen their jaw-dropping transformation during the holidays. Their annual “Miracle at Molloy’s” display routinely takes top honors in the Hermosa Beach Business Holiday Decorating Contest, turning the bar into a magical winter wonderland.

As Irish poet W.B. Yeats once wrote, “There are no strangers here, only friends you haven’t yet met.” At Patrick Molloy’s, that spirit is alive and well—every day of the year. ■
