I just had a browse myself and found a number of pubs named in her honour.
Here is one in Fairfield Conneticut. From the similarity of the facia signage it looks as if they are a chain of pubs.

This pub in Brookline, Massachusetts is called Grainne O'Malley's. Grainne is an Irish version of the pirate queen's first name and my guess is that it may have been chosen to avoid any legal problems from the Grace O'Malley's pub chain.

There’s plenty that’s unique about the Bonny Cravat - not least the name. For while nobody truly knows where it comes from (some say the pub was a meeting point for smugglers who traded with Frenchmen using a boat called La Bonne Curvette), the pub’s title is a genuine one-off in Britain.
