Playwright Tavern Act II

Food was really good but not a real Irish Bar. The only thing Irish was the Guinness!

If you catch this place at the right time, its spot on. Food was excellent. But wow it can get so busy really quickly.Popped in a few times, and the staff were all so friendly and helpful.Good drinks and food, its a shame that some of the customers were so very loud it was quite off putting 😔

Very friendly, I still recommend the mushroom ravioli! It is so good, you will not regret it.

Went on a Thursday night. Not too busy which was nice. Good drinks and the French onion soup was great. Had great service too!

We popped in here as we were walking back to our hotel. The waitress was nice and fun! We liked the atmosphere so much we went back the next night for dinner and drinks. Reasonable and delicious!! Highly recommend!

Nice and friendly pub! I was too late for grub but theyre open til 4am, cold beer, wine, and whiskey of course! Reasonable prices too.

It was a great time, great service, the food was great, very friendly atmosphere, we definitely recommend. 😄🍽️👌 #GreatTime #GreatService #FriendlyAtmosphere #Recommend

Great food. Great service!

Blueberry Moscow Mule was good. Excellent brushetta and crab cakes. House salad was delicious. Messy burger was huge. Good garlic and rosemary fries. Nice atmosphere.

Two thumbs down. Choosing this place for lunch was a mistake and we shouldve known better because it was such a touristy area. The waffle fries were the only thing decent we ordered. The nachos were meh (also no salsa or sour cream on the side, kind of cold), the chicken tenders (they were massive but not in a good way) were very overcooked and, given how thick they were, dry and had an unpleasant chewy quality. The mozz sticks were beer battered but flavorless and the same quality as something youd buy from the frozen food section. No complaints from the beer drinkers but the cocktail we ordered was sent back because it tasted gross with low quality liquors (at $15 youd think you could get something drinkable). It was one of their seasonal Christmas drinks. The tropical fruit flavored drink was rimmed in a white paste and peppermint candies (?? what). They took this off our bill. While sitting there, we saw a woman at the table near us send a cocktail drink back too and say its terrible. My orange Jameson and club soda was somehow also not good. Jameson is smooth and this was...not. Id bet money it wasnt Jameson after all (this cost me $14). We ate in their outdoor/roadside area and ambiance was lacking. Overall a very mediocre experience. We were all happy we didnt waste money on full meals.

Spectacular! We were in a bit of a hurry to get to a play. They got us in and out in 30 minutes with a good lunch and a Guinness for my husband. Very friendly.

Great food, our server Maria was just wonderful. She was very attentive and pleasant! I had Shepherds Pie and my husband had Fish n chips, food was great! Tasty wine!

A great pub, with great food, service and a good atmosphere, bonus is they have sky sports! Made to feel welcome by owner Jonny and his staff, made it our local during our stay, highly ecommended!

The food was absolutely amazing! We were a party of 4 and ordered 4 different entrees. I tried all 4 and was highly impressed. Food came out fast, fresh, hot and made to order. The environment/vibes were pretty chill/laid back as well.

I enjoy the informal atmosphere, casual food menu, and lively conversation. I had the roast pork and a very efficient waitress as we were going to a show....

Great food and drink friendly staff great atmosphere 👌

Great local place. Club sandwich was perfect and the burgers are THICK.

Did only go for drinks with some coworkers, the menu looks fine, comfort food however no food this time, very friendly staff, drinks were consisting and Cristina at the Bar was great 👍

Just another bar, outside space is nice though

This place was great. The food was really good and it was prepared really fast. Great first place stop-off for a first trip to New York.

High quality sushi with many different types, along with fast service!

Great spot great food and drinks and staff

I dont agree that this joint is spacious...no, it is beyond cramped in there, but its a very cozy atmosphere in there. I was there on New Years Eve, so maybe it was just especially crowded for the holiday.There are bars on each floor which works out great. Delicious cocktails! Drinks are a little on the pricey side, but an ok deal considering it was Manhattan. I could see myself hanging out here all the time.

I was there last night for the first time.I work in the area in the same industry and I finished work at 2:30am, I was tired and thirsty that I decided to grab a beer at this place.The girl behind the bar was very nice.But the security guy was so rude to me, it was 3:30 am and they did last call for drinks so I ordered my last beer thinking I still have at least 20 minutes to finish my drinks, so the bartender served me the last beer and one minute later the security guy came and told me, you have 5 minutes to finish your beer and leave because we closing.I asked him if they were closing in 5 minutes and he unswer me yes.But the bartender just poured it my last beer and I still have half of beer from the previous one and he was pretending that I was going to finish it in 5 minutes.Finally Id tried my best to finish my beer because he was staring at me.I finished my beer and half and I left the place, I felt discriminated because I was the only latino at this bar.When I was walking out at 3:40am the bartender still was making drinks for a big group of peopleSo disappointing of this place.Never will back and not recommend if you are latino.

Good food, great service!

Great service. Nice atmosphere at the bar and on the roof. Waitstaff is personable and attentive. Well definitely return. Bar food was enjoyable. Well have to try dinner.

Nice bar, friendly service, decent NY steak and decent Shepherds Pie. Their was live music on the first floor... This place has multiple dining areas and bars.

Lovely pub. Food very good and staff very good. Look forward to returning again before we head home.

Perfect place for pre-show drinks

Great bartender. And they have Heineken on draft

Always enjoy visiting this Irish Pub when i am in the Time Sq area of Manhattan.

The beef Stew hits home. And love the Shepards pie too

Clean your beer tap lines!.Consider taking your Turkey club sandwich off the menu.

Stopped in for a quick bite. Celtic burger was delicious. Perfectly cooked.

Stopped in after a show. Was raining and water was dripping from ceiling. Service was pretty good. Food was fair.

Many levels, the top is a rooftop outdoor bar area, worth the stairs!

Had to make a quick stop before a show. staff was attentive, food was good, served fast. great crowd, great location. thumbs up

Staff is friendly and attentive and the food is good. Music is dated Top 40 stuff from 5-10 years ago. Mu only conplaint.

It was OK. Drinks were moderately expensive for a standard pour. Service was OK. Phone got stolen and they were moderately sympathetic. I would got back again, BUT I would leave my phone at home.

Nice place.Good atmosphere.Great drinks.They had the ufc fight on last week well worth the cover charge.

Great place for a quick and tasty bite at a reasonable price. Friendly service.(Try the Blueberry Mule!)

Have stopped here several times for drinks and appetizers before a show. Above average bar food and will rush it if you ate limited on time.

A great place around Times Square to grab a beer and a plate of excellent buffalo wings.

Nice view from the Rooftop. Great red and white Sangria!

This bar was unexpectedly dead for a Saturday night during pride weekend in NYC. The drinks were eh and the service was slow considering how empty the place was. Bartender couldve been having a bad day, but seemed very cold and detached. Only stayed for one round.

This is a chill lowkey place good music and its really quiet and theyre open late as well check it out when you have the chance

I always come here before I see a show. The drinks are good, the staff is friendly. Its nice.

Nice

Not sure if he’s a waiter or bar-back, but he doesn’t seem to be too happy with life. His attitude sucked from the moment I sat in my seat, despite my “kill ‘em with kindness” approach. Cool, I get it.But, I moved from a drafty window seat to a couple tables over, in a warm area. I told him I was moving, showed him the table I was moving to, and he still took my food order to the old table, where a new couple was sitting, and breathing on my food. That’s one.Two, I asked the waitress for my check, she brings it to me. However, the waiter/ bar-back/ not sure what his job is took my bill and credit card, and I was very uncomfortable with it. But, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I see him come back minutes later and drop off a bill at a table within my eye view (the couple sitting at my old table, got up and moved because the window table is suuuuper drafty. Seriously guys, fix it or stop seating people there!).In my mind I think, “he’s messing up so much that I can guess that’s my credit card sitting in front of a stranger”. And sure enough, it was my bill and credit card. The nice couple immediately gave me my card and receipt.Point is, get to together!On the plus side, the 2 stars is for the delicious chicken pot pie. I still gave 20% tip because the other two waitress’ were nice.I didn’t complain or make a big stink about the two incidents, but I did write a message on the receipt to express my discontent. I sat at my table for over 20 minutes after someone taking my receipt, and no one came over to apologize or ask what my note was about, hence the public review.

I love this place. Shepherds pie is a must try.

Good Service, great Food and bears. Perfect location, reasonable prices

Great Pub, With Some great choice of beers, exellent Staff with a good vibe

Great place, friendly stuff and food is tasty. Little tip: try out the messy burger.. 👍

Excellent place for drinks, dont recommend the food. Top floor outdoor patio is great.

Tiny bar but an amazing time. The architecture is beautiful inside. The service was great as well!

Perfect place to have a pint of Guinness after seeing the brilliant & hilarious The Shark Is Broken

Food was good, staff was pleasant, nice portions, overall a nice experience. Would visit again!

Had no idea this place existed but what a fantastic pub!!! Gorgeous roof terrace, great selection of drinks and a nice break from all the ott fancy bars in NYC

Great atmosphere, food and drinks!! Prices are good too!!

The staff was so nice! They changed the channel on one of the TVs so my daughter and I could more easily watch our favorite team. 😍

Nice place , good food and fast services and very gentle people.👍❤

Appetizers were great. The beer was warm which is why I gave it 3 stars.

Great menu selection. There on St. Patricks Day. Great beer selection.

Great food, good service with a nice atmosphere

Following a show, this is our favorite place to grab a drink while awaiting our bus back to the hicks of PA. Climb the stairs to the bar where its not as crowded. You can even order food or a snack.

Guinness was cold, service was great, bartender rocked...my kind of place.

Everything was delicious! Great atmosphere and awesome food!

Amazing food, cool atmosphere, and please try the Irish Mule. Its AMAZING!

Great place with amazing steak nachos!

It was alright. The tables were packed in tight. The hostess was less than enthusiastic.

Best Irish Coffee Ive had in a long time

The food and service was awesome! Even 0% coolers for the non-drinkers!!

Cool place, fun vibe, great service!

Please update your business hours. Currently, youre advertising that youre open 8a to 4a, but today, 3/14/24 at 943a your doors are locked 🔒☺️✌️

Great local bar good food good people great rooftop view from the bar upstairs

Great after Broadway show bar to finish off the night.

Very good Irish bar nice people and very good food 👌

Ice cold Guinness and nice TV in a comfortable setting.Good spot!

Best place to hang out in NYC. The best: the staff, always kind!

Great day of sport and great bar staff went a couple of times thanks guys

Surprising delicious.usually not a fan of Irish food

Great people. all around.. food is more than worth the price

Its OK, just ok $10 for a beer plus your tip !!

Maybe an off night but this place was a bit grim. Only had one drink and left.

Hassain is amazing, very respectful, and good at his job.just wish more people like this

We didnt eat but what a cool bar. The bars were very clean the staff was a lot of fun. I would go back in a New York minute haaaaa!

Best corned beef hash Ive had in my entire life.

Looking for a place for a quick bite before the show. Stumbled on this place and we were pleasantly surprised. Both food and drinks were excellent, service was attentive and pleasant. Prices were in line.Definitely a stop we will return took next time were in New York.

Drink was bad and I couldnt exchange

Good food and service. Be ready to climb stairs!

Nice venue, we had a late night drink there though the music was loud. I guess it would be quieter earlier in the day when food is served. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Not extortionate prices like other bars in NYC. Will go again.

It is a long trek to the rooftop, but kinda cool place to have drinks.

20 bucks for 2 domestic draft beers. A bit pricey, even by NYC standards.

Delicious food, attentive wait staff!!@

Dishes ok. A bit pricey. Beautiful tavern.

Perfect after show drinks & snacks!!!

I loved every moment being inside this location. Has a great atmosphere and good quality of work staff. I would definitely bring your date there for an evening of fun and laughs.

Just popped in fir a cocktail before a show. Drink and service was good. Didnt eat anything. Recommend.

Very expensive no atmosphere tourist trap

Fun after show show. Live entertainment. And not only can the bartender make you a cocktail she can sing spectacularly too.

Friendly atmosphere, good beer. Nice spot to sit and relax or have some food 👌

Horrible service very unfriendly lady at bar and the wine was gross

Good food, reasonable prices ,great staff. Easy to make new friends, rooftop dining a plus!

Good beer selection, great irish coffee with real fresh made whipped cream.

This place is a blessing & the crowd are awesome. Its a must go to place.

Burgers were good service slow

Great spot for food and drinks before or after a show. The staff is always very friendly. We look forward to good there whenever we are in the area.

I epricate this place after work its chill and super perfect to relax. If you want the best food in the area this is it too. Youll get eccentric drinks with the very friendly staff late at night .

Nice pub, pastrami was fab 🥰

Total scam, a real tourist trap. Food is VERY bad and expensive. They also add an 18% gratuity and the people working there have no idea how to run a bar.

Great service, excellent drinks!

I liked it alright. Now stop with all the damn questions

Typical Irish pub food. Good service. Clean.

Casual place in the Times Square/theater district area. Nice atmosphere, good pub grub.

Great music here.

This place has great drinks and very enjoyable food we really loved the crab cake skewers they were delicious. And I really appreciated being able to get a good Reuben Sandwich without having to go to you know where.

Wish they had more veggie options but otherwise great place and good service.

Tasty food and super nice staff!

Fabulous place. Great staff. Very welcoming 5 stars

Very good. I had the crab cake sliders and they were really good.

We have been to this place several times. We loved the food, especially the burger, and the grilled shrimp. The malers are reasonable and the service is friendly and impeccable

Food was great, service was good

Good and fast services. Good food

Playwright is a great place for a drink or some Englisj food - in middle of the theater district it is a fun vibe and people are friendly

Lovely little piece of Ireland right here off busy streets

Rooftop bar has great vibe. Best French fries.

Lovely atmosphere, loved the rooftop area of the restaurant. Food is excellent and wait staff is friendly!

Great old school Irish pub, workers definitely not Irish. But they are friendly and attentive.

Lovely friendly bar. Definitely worth stopping by 🙂

First place we stopped when we arrived in NYC and it was great.

Cool bar and great rooftop bar as well

Very recommend !!! Food is great! Service the best! Prices affordable!! Will be back!!!!

Very busy for a Monday night. Good music and good drinks.

Rooftop Bar was super inviting, bartender was great, helpful with directions and the fish n chips were bomb!!

It was a busy time of year when we visited NYC so naturally the pub was very crowded, but we were seated within 15 minutes and enjoyed a nice meal.

Found hair in the food ..but did not charge for it

Nice vibe, staffs alright

The beer was good, the food a little less. The staff really efficent, not so friendly

Cool spot. decent food

I went with my friend that is not from here. She was practicing her english, so she order the beers and food.When the check arrived, there were an extra $20 by “mistake”.... (2 more beers being charged than the ones consumed...)*TOURISTS, be really careful!*And also, they include a 15% gratuity in a mandatory way.October 18, 2018.

Standard Irish drinking establishment but less obnoxious than most

Didnt stay. They have a 90 minute table time and then you have to leave. Wanted to watch the football game and didnt feel like getting kicked out half way through the game.

Good pre theater drinks

Good food and friendly service

Gratuity over the top gor being served 4 drinks 11.30 dollars as a gratuity is too much

Nice food and friendly atmosphere

Avoid this place. the A grade is wrong, we went on June 23rd 2017 for diner and the place was full of cockroaches and rats under the seats, we were disgusted, I couldnt finish my food and asked for the check and left. Be careful!

Cool bar! Great wings

Great food, and great atmosphere!

Very good atmosphere 👌👌

It is a 4-story restaurant bar with a good selection of drinks, they have house beer and it is very good. The food is served in large portions. The atmosphere is relaxed. There is a terrace on the 4th floor but they do not allow smoking on it.

A nice place for a cocktail or a beer or to eat.Intimate downstairs, spacious upstairs

Excellent place for a Friday night

A fun atmosphere to share with good friends

Good fast service, tasty food, good service, no elevator

You have to eat it once, super delicious, absolutely cozy atmosphere even for just a drink at the bar.
