The Food Is Great - And There's Even More!

Molly’s Eatery & Drinkery reopened its doors after moving in 2012. For NIU students it’s the closest bar in the area to go to that has the best food and events in the area. Molly’s is the perfect place to go to for large groups.

We also have our great food available for take-out, or you can stay here with waiter service and outdoor seating.

Amazing food, atmosphere, excellent staff, and pricing is very reasonable as well. Even though the pool table isn't there. Me my best friend had fun with darts. 5/5 stars.
