Food was ok (but not exceptional) and I don't think I've seen Forge Irish Stout elsewhere, but I'm docking them a star for automatically adding an 18% gratuity to our party of 3 and adding about 3% for credit card processing fees. Lack of ice with the water may give you the European feel, but I would have preferred the feel of cold water after waking around NYC in June.
Ive been here several times and always very happy with my experience
Service- from the bar to the restaurant, all friendly and attentive
Food- very good and quick. Reasonably priced for the area
Atmosphere- great Irish bar/restaurant feel

This spot has been here forever. Staff is friendly and the food is good. Prices are reasonable. This is a well known restaurant/ bar for locals. Lunch and dinner crowds are all business people. This spot gets a A+ for years of consistency with n quality and price
We went there for a new year eve dinner. The place is bit congested but the food was very nice. Even though we had reservations , they looked very clue less about seating and arrangement.
Also be ready for a long restroom que on a busy Friday/ Saturday evening. Unfortunately since they have only 1 rest room per floor.

The servers are great and friendly.
Exposed brick and dark wood everywhere. Plenty of TVs to watch sports. It’s the perfect spot to pop in and regroup from the madness outside.

A great 4-floor Irish pub with great food. We had the pot pie and beef stew. Would definitely get both dishes again. For a place adjacent to Times Square, it didn’t seem too touristy!
I came here with my husband for dinner around 7:30pm on Saturday night. Despite the prime time, there was no wait and we were seated right away.
The waitress was very attentive and I had questions and small requests with my order but she answered took care of each one of them precisely. She went above and beyond, checking with the kitchen and correcting the order for me when I told her about my dietary restriction.
On top of her great service, to our surprise the food was beyond regular bar food! I ordered a salad with shrimp and the shrimps were huge!! My husband ordered club sandwich and he said his was very good too.
Overall we were very pleased and content with the food and service.

This restaurant was really neat. We ate in the heated structure right on the street. We ordered the Playwrights Signature Chicken Sandwich and it was fabulous, so was the French Onion Soup. We ordered two of their holiday/winter drinks. Delicious, strong, and festive. Service was slightly slow for not being that busy, but it was worth it.
