Molly's Dover

Date night at Molly’s in Dover with Kelley turned into a perfect night out — and even better when we ran into my godfather, Brian Hamilton, celebrating his birthday with his son, Chris. From the moment we walked in, the cozy brick pub atmosphere, lively crowd, and genuinely friendly staff set the tone. We started with onion rings and chicken tenders with house chips, then shared the short rib entrée and the Caesar Tuscino. Every plate was hot, hearty, and full of flavor — real comfort food done right. The drinks were just as strong: a hot chocolate martini that was basically dessert in a glass, a festive spiced holiday margarita, Kelley’s smooth and classic Molly’s Manhattan, and my Rogue Dead Guy Ale on draft. What makes this even more impressive is that Molly’s has only been open for a

Walked in for lunch, and very pleasantly surprised with this new spot! Only just heard about it so I wanted to stop by, absolutely worth the visit. Started with a French onion soup (one of the best I've ever had) and a Santa-gria, main course was the chicken piccatta with risotto and a spiced holiday marg, and finished with chocolate brownie fudge trifle (huge, bring a friend for this one!) and an espresso martini. Wait staff was quick, attentive, and friendly, and I overheard another table getting custom modifications to their order to work around allergens, so the kitchen is working to please as well! A brief table visit from the owner was a nice touch too. This location is already coming out strong and I'm looking forward to going back as they deservedly settle into the spot!

Amazing experience at Molly's! It’s a huge win for the Celiac community—they have a dedicated fryer and a staff that truly understands cross-contamination. Don't miss out on the cocktails or those loaded waffle fries!

What an amazing new restaurant in Dover! Atmosphere and food were amazing. Staff is nothing but excellent! Every time we go, we try something new and it’s always delicious! Nice to have a new favorite dinner spot in Dover.

Molly’s in Dover is the kind of place you go once and immediately start telling everyone about. The food is next-level good — every dish comes out packed with flavor and clearly made with real care. It’s the perfect mix of comfort food and elevated pub favorites that make you want to try everything on the menu. What really blew us away is that they offer gluten-free fried food, and somehow it’s still perfectly crispy and delicious. If you’ve ever had to avoid gluten, you know how rare that is — and Molly’s absolutely nails it. From the appetizers to the mains, everything was outstanding. The vibe is warm, lively, and welcoming — the kind of neighborhood spot Dover has needed. Honestly, it might be one of the best meals we’ve had on the Seacoast in a long time.
