Playwright Tavern & Restaurant
Owner
Located in the heart of Times Square in the exciting Theatre District, Playwright Tavern & Restaurant offers up delicious Irish-American fair in friendly atmosphere. This three level New York Irish restaurant and bar is the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family before catching a show at Radio City Music Hall, having lunch with co-workers or drinks with friends.
Plan your next pre-theatre dinner, birthday party, corporate event or cocktail party in one of the Playwright Tavern & Restaurant's private party rooms. These private rooms are the perfect place to celebrate New Years Eve while dining on Irish-American comfort food from their prix fix menu.
The lengthy mahogany bar offers a large selection of draft beers, stout, ale and cider as well as bottled beers, cocktails and wine. Surrounded by flat screen TVs, it?s a great place to catch a soccer match, UFC fight or sports event.

I am a New Yorker and tend to avoid the tourist traps but this one TOTALLY is not. When ever I am around Time Square, I always stop buy for a drink or a nice relaxing sit down with my friends at the restaurant. They are attentive but not annoying. great place to watch the game. Its too bad some other reviewers had a bad experience, I always have a good time.

WOWOWOWOWOW. Like all native New Yorkers, I have always abided by the golden rule of avoiding Times Square. Before this year I had never seen the ball drop in person. Well somehow my friend got me to attend the New Year's bash this place has every year and it was AWESOME. Open bar 9-1, awesome DJ, and a buffet. And I got to see the ball drop too! The managers were so lovely, real nice Irish people. Food was GREAT and the drink was even better. Can't wait to go back, and I'm already thinking about booking my own party for New Year's 2009! Loved it.

Looking for a qucik drink or dinner before a Broadway show? Or an after dinner drink where you can discuss the play you've just seen? Then the Playwright's for you. A great, friendly staff from Ireland is ready to serve you with a smile. And they understand the pre-dinner rush. Great time!
