This little Irish pub is one of a few in midtown, along with Blaggards, Westbury, Mulligans, etc. Its snuggled close to the bustling Liberty, but a small walk away from the train station.They offer an excellent deal on happy hour, and also lunch. Their lunch comes with a free drink, which can be beer, sangria, and so on. Even if not the lunch specials, their prices are reasonable for this area considering it is a tourist hub. Its not totally gouging your wallet, which is saying a lot.The staff are a bit sparse at times and they did get an order for our table wrong once. But the food is very good and they have a fun amount of sport betting events every year. In fact, their televisions pretty much play only sports all the time. I recommend their chicken sandwich. Its overall a great place to have lunch in the area if youre not looking for something too out of the ordinary.

Mazum is the best! His service was amazing, and we really appreciate how he made sure we had a great time. Casual and pleasant spot to enjoy drinks with great deals in Midtown. Highly recommend!

Great little pub if you are after that traditional no frills, good staff, good foods and good drinks.It’s a home away from home local.Definitely worth a visit.

Local hangout place. Typical pub with many sports TV. We came here just because it’s centrally located for meeting people after work. Happy hour also helps for regular. Don’t expect too much for cocktails. Beer or wine is ok. Food is decent and space is large enough to accommodate big group.

Visiting NYC and found this bar to watch the Dallas Cowboys game at. Packed wall to wall with Cowboys fans, electric energy and a great time. Will be back when for more games in the future!

This is a great restaurant,the atmosphere was very welcoming,this place reminds me of a little Pub in Ireland & it seemed like all the staff had the Ireland brogue,which I just love.My husband & I both had the shepherds pie & I highly recommend this dish because it was delicious. Such a wonderful little place in a very bustling city

Nice Irish pub. Good food

The staff are so nice! I finished a prosthetic appointment early and walked down the street for a quick bite. They were affordable, fully accessible and the staff is very friendly. Definitely come for a beer, a burger and a chat w/ their nice Irish waiter John. There’s plenty of accessible outdoor seating, most of which is wheelchair accessible as well. I didn’t go deep into the place and didn’t use the restroom but I’ll definitely do that next time and let you know how it is.

Very good place, me and my friends go there around 3:00 am. The bar tender is really nice and the Irish style shots are super good. Definitely worth a visit. I love the decoration as well, very clean and tidy.

Arrived at my hotel at 23:30 last night and stumbled upon this Irish Pub while walking the city a bit. Enjoyed a Brooklyn Lager and will be back today.

Just right for a midtown Irish pub right down to the bat tender with an Irish accent.

Perfect spot for early dinner before a concert at the Garden. Staff is amazing. We will be back!

Review 14 (2019-12-10 - Rating: 5)
A true Irish Pub. We were walking by at lunch time and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed, it was like being in Dublin. The food was authentic and delicious, the service very good and fast but the best was...they had, of course, Guinness beer! Highly recommended! The place is an old house with several floors and rooms. Every corner is a surprise.

Review 15 (2024-01-16 - Rating: 5)
The shepards pie was phenomenal. Easily the best I had near times square! Conner was a amazing and friendly bartender and the bar has a warm and cozy atmosphere. Just what youre looking for in an Irish pub.

Review 16 (2024-09-30 - Rating: 4)
It is more or less cheap for this part of the city. And you notice that in the food. Not being bad at all, the steak I had was a bit tasteless and not done as ordered. In any case, its good for the price and you get what you paid for.

Review 17 (2024-09-22 - Rating: 5)
We stopped for a couple of Forget Irish Stout, I had the chance to try them in Ireland and I can tell you the taste and texture were similar, totally recommended it, atmosphere was nice and prices were good.

First time in New York and we decided to stop here for a couple of drinks and some food. Everything was awesome.

There are MANY TVs, so there really isnt a bad spot in the place for a view of any sporting event. Havent had food, but it looks good. Drink selection is decent and service is good.Drinks are a bit more pricey than other pubs, at least on event days.

Review 30 (2023-12-31 - Rating: 5)
We were pleasantly surprised by this little pub in very tourist heavy midtown. They had a table for our group of 7 within minutes. For starters we had the Bavarian Pretzel which was tasty, a tender plate of Calimari, and Beer Battered Mozzarella Sticks which the kids loved. For dinner the Shepherds Pie was a favorite and the burgers were cooked to order. The fish and chips were good. The chicken sandwich and chicken strips were very well received by our kids.Service was quick and super attentive. We would definitely go again.

What a nice moment and what a waiter you are Mazum !!!! Thx you so much for this nice welcome !!

Review 34 (2024-05-31 - Rating: 5)
Great bar. Probably harsh on the 4/5 for food, because it was great for a pub. Not Michelin starred, but not charging for that. The bartender asked us to move down a seat to make room for an incoming couple. Answer would have always been yes, but he bought us a round as a thank you. Class act all around.

Brought my husband here about three weeks ago to watch the cowboys game! I was unaware of the wonderful club they had there for the past 14 years! The coordinator of the club was so warming and kind! My husband had never been around so many cowboys fans since we’re from the Boston area! It was a phenomenal experience and I’m excited to return and watch football!

We wanted a burger. Ended up with a great burger with avocado, fries and onion rings. Time there was pleasant and the bar was comfortable. Friendly tender.If I was into anything other than skateboarding, I would have enjoyed plenty of ball-involved games on many TVs.

So, I stumbled upon The Playwright Irish Pub on a lazy Sunday night, and boy, was I pleasantly surprised! Despite it being the end of the weekend, the place was buzzing with life, definitely not your typical sleepy Sunday scene.The staff were super welcoming, adding to the already warm vibe of the place. And lets talk drinks – they were top-notch! From classics to creative concoctions, they had it all, and they were all delicious. Its the kind of spot where you can just kick back with your pals, enjoy some great drinks, and shoot the breeze.All in all, a solid choice for a laid-back hangout sesh. Cheers to The Playwright Irish Pub for a memorable evening, I would definitely visit again! 🍻

Review 50 (2024-01-23 - Rating: 5)
Mazum always provides amazing service and his staff are super attentive! On nights with football, soccer games, etc they always pass out free shots. My friends and I have been coming here for several years and we always enjoy ourselves!! We would recommend the Mozzarella sticks + vodka sauce pasta.

Nice atmosphere inside the bar. Bartender Kalum was very friendly and helpful with places to go and visit.

Review 52 (2023-09-29 - Rating: 4)
We were seated outside, our waiter came within a few minutes. Took our drink order, which came out pretty quick. He than took our food order. Again came out quickly but someone else brought us our food. We were going to order more drinks but not 1 person came back to check up on us. We were here for 45 minutes, ended up going inside to ask for our check. We would not have even tipped our waiter 10% due to never seeing him again, but this place automatically takes out 18% Very discouraged about this!!! I would recommend this place for the food and atmosphere. Just be cautious about the wait staff. For the prices they should at least come back to make sure all is ok!!!!

After the craziness of midtown during the holidays, we stopped by the Playwright for food and drinks. What an amazing find. The decorations were beautiful and the service was top notch. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, Playwright burger, and Fish n Chips. All dishes were great! We will definitely be stopping by this pub again soon.

Staying in a hotel opposite we tried all the resteraunt in the area and ended up coming back for dinner 4 times in our 10 day stay and had drinks /coffee on two afternoons.It can be very busy and a little on the noisy side but it is so friendly its great to see the sports fans enjoying themselves.Carson and Muzul managed to find us a table on each visit and we ate our way through the menu.Its hard to single out one dish that is the best but we could not fault the New York steak or the filet.The bangers and shepards pie were as good as you get at home. Will certainly recommend it as a must go when in New York.We will not forget you

Review 69 (2023-08-24 - Rating: 5)
Amazing pub, the atmosphere, the food and the local is just immaculate. During my 10 day trip to NYC we went there every single day and it was absolutely incredible.The service was amazing and Mazum, which was one of the bartenders, was one of the most friendly that was there, although everyone was incredibly nice to us. If i ever come back to NYC i would repeat it again.

The Playwright was always our last stop when we came back from our explorations in New York and didnt want to go to bed yet.

Visit this spot for a cozy and classy pub experience in the heart of NYC. Service is always superb and everyone is attentive and won’t let you wait more than a second for a drink. The kitchen whips up elite food (incredible fries) Brianna, Aaron, Emad and Kaylem always make us feel so welcome. The owner John treats everyone at his bar like family. Highly recommend!

Review 84 (2022-06-09 - Rating: 5)
The young lady behind the bar was also the waitress with multiple guest inside and out of the establishment working very hard but keeping in great spirits with a smile on her face. I will definitely visit them again tomorrow when I go back into the city 🌆 because the food looked amazing but I didnt have anything to eat so I cant comment on that yet. I was just killing time before my next adventure. Very clean friendly atmosphere.

One of my favorite pubs in Manhattan. The Playright is a perfect spot to grab a pint of Guinness with your friends to catch up. It’s an amazing place to watch sports with all the TVs. There’s an upstairs too so plenty of space. It’s a Real Madrid bar so heads up to all the Barcelona fans out there. The food is great too. I love the wings, the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and the sweet potato fries.

Ok place. However, be aware if you are paying and tipping with a card. I had a single beer at the bar last week (~$11 inc. tax) and left a $2 tip on the card. Instead of the ~$13 amount, they charged me for ~$22. It was difficult to fix it through the phone, so I went through my card instead to get the amount sorted out.

Review 95 (2023-06-13 - Rating: 5)
This is a solid local bar with a great mixed crowd, good pub grub and a good selection of beer. Also has a full bar and friendly bartenders. Only the hot wings are truly hot so make sure not to be shy if thats what youre looking for. And the mild are truly safely mild.

I stopped here while on a trip to NYC and while I stayed on the same block. I was very pleased with the BBQ Chicken sandwich on a panini, and the beer was good and reasonably priced.After many years, I returned on a recent trip based on the above-mentioned good experience. I found the bar to be great once again, good happy hour, tasty food. Its a place with some character and the next time I find myself in NYC, Id happily return.

I have been to numerous bars around the city. However, this one in particular provides an absolutely warm heart felt experience. The service is extremely fast and orderly. Specifically speaking about Amber the bartender. She made sure we were taken care of regardless of how busy she was. She always stopped by and conversed with us and overall enhanced our experience at the playwright.Will definitely return soon.

It should be a rule, that an Irish pub should have at least an Irish person working there :-)Fantastic little place, great food with Irish ideas, alas no bacon and cabbage!

I love this place. It has a good atmosphere, and the food is delicious. Our bartender, Kaylem, was very charismatic and gave us free shots!

My buddy and I stayed on this block when we were in town for the rock-n-roll hall of fame. So we went here about every day. Everything I would have asked for out of a local pub. Great bartenders, nice selection of beers, and the food was good. So we went back, over, and over, and over again. The bartenders made us feel at home with good down to earth conversation and there was plenty of games on the TVs. I loved it and recommend it if in the area.

We stopped by this random pub to grab a quick lunch as we were in the neighborhood. Surprisingly really darn good salads. The proteins all come out warm/freshly cooked, greens fresh, and dressing light and paired well. The fries are double crisped, really good as well. Again, pleasantly surprised good lunch!

Our server was delightful. She allowed my kids to try the ginger ale before they committed to it for their drink. We had the fish & chips, Sheppards pie, and my kids had the chicken fingers kids meals. Everything was delicious! The kids meals were a bit pricey but they included a drink and ice cream.

The best service Ive received in the city! My boyfriend and I found this place on our way to the theatre (its just down the block from Chicago, amazing location), and the people were so nice! Always made sure our water glasses were full, topping them quite often. Food was also great, cant go wrong with a burger and Irish fare. Decent prices too for the city. Would highly recommend!

This is definitely the best pub in NYC. It was my first time visiting New York from California and out of everything I saw and did, visiting this pub was my favorite. Went back twice :) - Everyone, John especially, was so nice and I loved the vibe in there. Highly recommend. Will definitely be my #1 spot to return to when I visit again!

My favorite spot in the city. The food is incredible. Brianna, Emad, Aaron, John, I could not ask for better service. Also 10+ widescreen TVs and two floors. Great recommendation

Snacks were good, selection of crafts was Ok… location is very convenient and ambience is also fine. Staff is friendly but can be a bit more attentive. One extra star for servers 👍

Playwrights is a New York City institution. In an area thats lost much of its charm to big corporation establishments, Playwrights has continued to retain its charm and warmth. A neighborhood and city institution for years its still a great place to go to enjoy a wonderful selection of drinks and fantastic food. The staff treats you like family and the place is kept spotless.When in the area definitely stop by and enjoy a meal and a few drinks.We were there today and had the hamburger, fish and chips, Sampler platter, crab cakes and Bangers and mash. Everything was spot on. Nothing tasted frozen and cheap. The food quality and quantity for the price paid was of incredible value and we consider ourselves food snobs. The children were treated like royalty given crayons and drawings to color, Fantastic place to go with your children and feel completely welcomed. Another nice touch was one of the owners was on the premise and clearly showed that he cared about his patrons. He was gracious and genuine the real deal.Do yourself a favor check it out. It looks like theyre expanding too so I cant wait to bring the family back!!

Great beer on draft. They dont have a Reuben. But they have a pastrami and Swiss sandwich. They also had really good nachos. Your typical Irish pub.

Staff was friendly, lovely, and smiley. I attended a friends birthday there and they took great care of us. The fries werent special. Nachos and Shepards pie were good, but the Shepards pie took a very long time to prepare.

I’ve been coming here for a year and mazum always treats my friends and I like family. Always pays attention to us and always in a good mood. Plus the drinks are good, not too strong and not watered down. nice place to pregame or end a night out.

I always have a great time whenever I come here for a quick drink. There is a really great selection on cocktails and amazing quality of service, everyone is like family here. One of my favorite drinks to order is the old fashioned and the vodka martini these always come out great and never disappoint. I would highly recommend coming here if you are in the area.

Its always great for watching soccer and of course, any other sports.Mazum and the crew are always great not hesitating putting the game for us and making sure we have a great time.The food is amazing and the beer is always cold as it should be!

Definitely a good place, I went there for the roland garros semi final. I loved it the bartender was kind enough to switch the channel to tennis even though I was the only one seeing tennis in the whole bar. They have the IPA goose which is a must try draft. One of the best bars in NYC I would say. Recommended for sure.

First night in NYC. Was looking for a great burger and nice gin & tonic. The Play write was reccomended by the Marriott security guard. Perfect pick. Friendly staff, great burger, got recommendation for a local Italian spot for Eggplant Parmesan & Pizza from the owner.
