great place to party
by Natasha79
We came in from out of town for a 4 night stay and we came to Playwright Celtic Pub every single night!We had tickets to a broadway show and stumbled into celtic pub for something to eat before the show.The staff were attentive and the food and drink came quick and fast.We returned after the show for drinks and ended up staying till 4AM.The music great and so were bartenders .We felt like locals after the first night.It was nice to have a place"where everybody knows your name" as cheesy as it sounds when you are in a different city.We love the playwright! Celtic Pub!!
- Pros: great music played all night
- Cons: 2 bathrooms

PLACE TO PARTY
by sHottie
As a Manhattanite, I'm more privvy to your typical over crowded, over priced Meatpacking District bars/lounges. We were looking for something close to the Port Authority that had people in it. We had a couple of apps. but an extreme amount of cocktails (so many my friend missed the last bus to NJ) We had such a great time - THANKY YOU bartenders (who dance to every song) and waitstaff (whom were attentive to our need to drink as much as possible) ~ I will definitely be coming back.
- Pros: Great Vibe, Service & People
- Cons: Line for bathroom

Great place for pre-theater meals
by dw_dr_strangelove
This place is a great Irish pub in the theater district. We called ahead and got a table for seven for a 6:30 dinner. When we got in we told them we had tickets for an 8:00 show. the table was big and comfy. Our drinks arrived four minutes after we sat down. We each placed a second drink order when we ordered dinner and they arrived fast. Dinner was great. Most of the table had burders and sandwiches. I had Shepard's Pie and my friend had a steak, both were very good. the steak was cooked perfectly for medium rare. After dinner we had coffee and got out in plenty of time to make our show. The service was great. the palce was packed with an after work crowd, but our beautiful irish waitress was a pleasure. she worked hard, came by at least four times to check on us and seemed to be genuinely concerned that we made our show and she told us what tiem it was three times. We gave her a very nice tip. I would go back here anytime.
- Pros: GREAT SERVICE, good location for theater shows and east to get to A/C Train to 42nd
- Cons: Drinks were expensive and the place was crowded
