Once a year, my high school buddies and I descend on Connolly's, and it's always a great time with great service, and surprisingly great food. Like I said, this is the place for the reunion. I'm not huge on this type of bar. Not that I don't like them, it's just not my usual go-to. That said, I honestly look forward to coming here every single year. The staff is great, the beer selection is perfect and the food isn't just your typical bar offerings. Sure, you can get wings and mozz sticks, but even the salads are excellent. I can't say that I'd recommend the salad at most bars, but Connolly's is the exception. Ok, I didn't have the salad, but my wife did and she was impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Aside from all this, the ambiance is good, the vibe is good, and it's just comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]None of the usual busted chairs or sticky table tops.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Although I don't live very close, it's a place I'd def recommend if you're in the area. read more

Connolly's Corner is a reliably high quality restaurant & pub. It can be loud depending on the time, especially if you're seated near the bar. Service is attentive, friendly & fast enough. They cook their burgers exactly as requested: we had one medium & one well done with both cooked spot-on. They have a great selection of customization for their burgers. Both the fries & sweet potato fries were done right. Try the spice dusted shrimp & corn appetizer, it's out of this world! This time we tried the stuffed mushroom special, which was very good. Their salads are generously portioned, fresh & delicious. The blackened chicken is particularly great! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I was here for a private event and it was an awesome place to throw a party or have an event.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a huge back room and the party I was there for had a live band so plenty of room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I only walked thru the front but nicely decorated with booths and the staff there was very friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly neighborhood place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is always good. Served quickly with a smile. They make you feel welcome.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice place to grab a bite or catch up with friends - the atmosphere and staff is lively and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had the fish and chips and it was pretty good but the fish was very oily for my taste. The fries were good and the fried garlic mushrooms appetizer was pretty good as well. The coleslaw was delicious . My daughter loved her side of coleslaw and also her main of shrimp scampi. The shrimp looked huge! The dessert she had was very yummy it was a strawberry banana crepe. Loved the separate dessert menu they have some good looking desserts! The My Pepsi was watery and just didn't taste like a real pepsi. They also serve coffee with half and half which was pretty good. It was a huge mug that I got. Asked if I needed refills on my Pepsi and coffee. The service here is great and always prompt! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a lively crowd so it can be a little loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely visit this establishment again! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A great sports bar with a wide food selection, friendly service, good beer selections, and a slightly more upscale vibe than a regular sportsbar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was made very well, mashed potatos were fresh and the beef was flavorful. Good poor of Guinness too. Highly recommend for a neighborhood sports bar for food and drinks. read more

Friendly staff and great food and smooth drinks , definitely recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice clean space for afterwork drinks or family gatherings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious.

Good food. Mid service. Drinks were wrong three times. With so many other Irish pubs to go to I'd rethink this spot

I've been here a few times and always enjoy it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is spacious with plenty of seating, so it never feels crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is consistently good especially the burgers, which are my favorite. The menu has a wide variety of options, so there's something for everyone. Definitely a solid spot to eat! read more

I went for a quick lunch today with my mom. I had the Cajun shrimp appetizer. It was four pieces of shrimp. They were tasty with a corn salsa. I ordered the Jameson chicken for my meal. That was really delicious. I had moved out of the neighborhood and I wanted to come back and try their food again. I'm glad I did. I am disabled and the men's room was extremely tight for my scooter. They need better handicap accessible facilities. THATS A MUST! And that's why I gave 3 stars. The food, service and restaurant were great...worthy of 4+ stars. I would definitely recommend this restaurant read more

The ambiance was very friendly and open. They provided my family a large space and intimate area to enjoy our dinner together. It was clean and open for the child to run around. It was also far away from the noise from the bar area. The waitress was quite friendly and willing help us with the birthday cake. She also efficiently got all of our orders out at a timely manner and help us with any misunderstanding Overall it was good but the food was just okay. The appetizers that we got were good and portion size was good for a family size of 12. The entrees were lacking a bit as the Jumbo Shrimp scampi wasn't up to par. It didn't taste like the usual shrimp scampi and it had a weird aftertaste (don't recommend). The steak was well seasoned but slightly overcooked for a medium rare. The best entree was the Grand Avenue Pasta. I would definitely recommend that. Restaurant is great for large gathering and homey food if you like that and looking for that. read more

We rented a party room and the experience was not great. We paid for 1-5 pm and they started cleaning everything up at 4:20 when our guests were still there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They shut off our music and was lowering our music throughout the entire party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At 4:40 the manager Bridget was extremely rude and she came in and said "Can we wrap this up, I have another party starting after this" Why book another party then when we paid until 5pm. We marked every guest as they arrived and ended up with a total of 54 adults. She was very passive aggressive and condescending in her tone when she insisted that her and her entire staff counted 58 adults eating. We explained that couldn't be possible because we only had 59 guests on our list and 4 of them didn't show. She also said she served 3 kids plates, however we had 4 kids on our list but only 3 attended. When she agreed to charge us for the 54 adults instead of the 58, she then added a 4th kid who wasn't there. When I tried to clarify why she added another kid she snatched a paper I was showing her out of my hand 3 times and immediately became argumentative. Then she dismissed me and walked over to my mom to begin arguing with her. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The next day my sister attended a party for another event and they had a live rock band that they didn't seem concerned with the noise level, it was much louder than our music that they kept lowering and eventually shut off[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], they kept the food out and allowed guest to pack home food, meanwhile ours was packed up before our guests could even grab seconds and one paid guest didn't even get to eat because it was already gone. Same with the the cake. Very rushed for some reason. I believe she was being racist because we were all hispanic. I'm so upset with her behavior. read more

Delicious food. I've had many parties there and Bridget the manager always makes sure everything is perfect. I haven't had a bad meal there yet. I love the steak tidbits sandwich. read more

Great accommodations and customer service. Variety of food choices and extremely accommodating. Have had many large dinner parties and attended some also. All in all always a great experience read more

Hidden gem in Maspeth, great food and drink topped off with excellent service!! I'm always craving for Irish fare, the chef here is wonderful. The burger and sweet potato fries are a no-brainer, as is the beef stew. Carol takes good care of us each time while Gabby and Julie keeps the Jameson Gingers flowing. Redbreast whiskey is a treat. Bridget helped us book an event with buffet, the food and service is truly exceptional!! Favorites include Seafood Pasta, Pernil, Lasagna and Jameson Chicken with a side of rice and vegetables. We have thus enjoyed each visit and will keep coming back for more! read more

I went there today for lunch with a coworker we usually got at least 3 to 4 times amonyh..today I order well done burger my coworker medium. Well when we got our burger mine was medium rare, while my coworker was well done. They took yhe burgers back. The burger was brought out again..guess what I bit inot it and it was still Red. Meaning not well done. Not sure way this was done to us. But perhaps maybe since it's an Irish pub and im brown skin perhaps they did this to let me and my coworker now they dont want us eating there no more..too bad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the amostphere the bar tender seem very nice and music great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Guess no point of fighting it since it's apparently they dont want me and my coworker to eat there again..how can one mess up a well done burger back to back.. I could see if the temp was medium rare or medium ..but how can one mess up a well done burger not once but twice back to back. read more

First time here and I enjoyed it. Good customer service. I was told their chicken quesadillas were good and they were! Their spring rolls and fried calamari were great! read more

This is my second time coming here first for a baby shower and second for a birthday party. The catering service and food was amazing both times. The place is super huge, having maybe 3 entrances with like 4 different rooms for private parties, one room includes a hangout sports bar. Although it's a big place everyone has to use just two men/women restrooms. They should consider putting a bathroom stall in each party room. The room where the birthday party was being held looked nicely put together, they had great seats, nice white tablecloths and good glass cups and silverware, the servants/waiters were very attentive, orderly and clean. I liked that they had the food in steel chafers instead of the aluminum one. What I loved most was the food, everything was delicious the stuffed eggplant, the pasta even the salad with my favorite balsamic vinegar. Im glad my friend was able to book this place for her daughters first birthday. read more

Not only a great restaurant with classics like Shepherds Pie and Jameson Chicken but also delicious cocktails at the bar. The staff and owner are always ready to please and are active in the community. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Check them out for your party needs also, they have great spaces including a private out door courtyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Pretty much your run-of-the-mill Irish bar and restaurant in Maspeth. We came here tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had a pretty big table and sat in the backyard. Our waiter, Diego, was great. We were taken care of promptly and with friendly service. We ordered a bunch of apps including the fried calamari, spring rolls, and garlic mushrooms. Everything was good and came out hot. I ordered the buffalo mild wings and they didn't disappoint. My friends enjoyed their burgers, salads, and tidbits (which looked delicious). We topped off with some international coffees which aren't for the faint-of-heart. You won't know if you are buzzed from the caffeine or alcohol. TLDR: solid place. read more

COVID precautions were taken: temperature check and keeping things clean. Seats and tables were wiped down before seating us. The black angus burger was yummy and juicy. The meat was fresh. The meat patty was pretty thick. I chose mozzarella cheese and sweet potato fries. The fries were not dry. I liked the dipping sauce. I don't know what it was but it tasted like it had maple syrup in it. It was good for the burger or fries. The chicken quesadilla was also good. Guacamole was fresh. The salsa was a too spicy for me. (I don't eat spicy.) Servers were quick. And always cleaning. Definitely worth coming back again. read more

I think if you are a regular they take better care of you. The parties I've been to there are very good though When we go to eat it's subpar, service eh As I said only if you are known -which is not very nice Think they spread the waitstaff too thin Our food came and nobody came to check on us, soda was flat we told them right away and kind a forgot about us I had a check in offer on my yelp account for a free glass of wine or draft beer, the waitress said she never saw before and that was fine but she asked if she could take my phone to show bartender , I said sure, she came back to tell me the bartender said that was before Covid ? We'll I don't know why it just showed up now I wasn't gonna argue for a few bucks but they probably would have honored it if I was a regular, the excuse for not was -the Manager wasn't in ( I know she would have honored it ) I also know things would have been run better if she was there. Come on that is such BS ! Think I'll go to the many other restaurants next time, they don't need us they have a lot of regulars Still have my check in offer on yelp page read more

I love coming to Connollys! I usually get the chicken marsala and my bf gets the bbq ribs, everything is so delicious. Their appetizers are great too, the calamari comes with a great sauce and the spinach artichoke is delicious. read more

We attended a birthday party here last night. The food and service was excellent. The servers working the room were really friendly and attentive. read more

Was here for a private party in the back. Great room! Nice size. Good bar food. Large screen TV in the back room to watch sports. Bathrooms were close and very clean. Can get to the main bar thru this little internal alleyway. Staff was very professional and friendly. Only issue was there was a LIVE band that night and they play with the speakers right next to the private room. Other than that, I was happy with the place. read more

We had our baby shower here back in February and it was a great experience all around. Bridget the manager helped us go over different options for the menu and rooms available and all of her recommendations were on point (especially the pernil). We booked the corner room with the windows facing the street and it was a very nice space. There's also a new-ish indoor (covered and heated) patio area that was quite airy and nice but we went with the room based on the number of guests. A bunch of people canceled the day of and Bridget was very accommodating with making last minute adjustments and charging us accordingly. A lot of people mentioned how good the food was, especially the pernil and seafood pasta. Thank you Bridget and Connolly's! read more

Food is very good. The pot roast is melt in your mouth delicious. The calamari is also a favorite. The service is fantastic. Never had a bad experience here. Their catering and party rooms accommodate various size parties. read more

Thoroughly impressed with the consistency of this establishment heading into 2022 & beyond. A trip to Connolly's continues to remain a highly memorable and enjoyable one. Bar is well maintained, bartenders are friendly (and have great taste as well - being freshly 21 and clueless means I need all the help I can get), and the quesadillas exceeded expectations. Definitely coming back to catch a Mets game. read more

Updating my review since I've been here a few times again now that the city has finally finished working on the streets in this area. The food is still excellent and definitely the best pub of the many in the area. Highly recommend the Shepherds Pie and pot roast with mashed potatoes and carrots and parsnips. All home baked desserts and all exceptionally good. Nice clean comfortable place with A+ service (thank you Gaby!) Very glad be eating here again. read more

Trying to give local places in areas i'm working a bit o business. Sadly they gave me terrible fries(from frost bite, to being under fried. Terrible beets(took a beet and quartered it?) Why did i pay for this?. As. vegan this was ALL i could order. I was desperate however. read more

I have never had a bad meal at Connolly's. From breakfast to a late dinner, it's all good. There is an outdoor patio which can be enjoyed in warmer months and the staff is warm and friendly. They don't skimp on the booze in the drinks, either! I like this place so much I had my wedding reception there and all thee guests were impressed with the quality of the food. Between the pandemic and the ongoing sewer project, the place has been going through some rough times, so please consider having a night out there. read more

Background story, We are originally from Ireland, lived in Maspeth for 24 years then moved to SC in 2013. After college our son moved back to NY in 2017 to work, where he met his sole mate. As far as we were concerned the only place for his and our daughter in law's rehearsal dinner was in Connolly's Corner on June 17th, 2022. I am writing this review because if you are in any doubt about having a party here you can rest assured that everything will be just perfect and I am a perfectionist!!! Now, keep in mind I organized this mostly from SC with the help of the manager Bridget Criscuolo with a few quick visits up to NY, which I do anyway. Nothing and I mean nothing I asked for or suggested was a problem for Bridget, she even matched the napkins to the wedding colors. In actual fact she told me to stop stressing that, that's what she was there for!!! So a BIG thank you Bridget for putting up with me and for truly delivering on all you promised. We all had a wonderful time and guests are still talking about it! read more

This place was amazing to host a "small" event. Did not disappoint especially for the price. The manager was super accommodating and their staff was always ready to help. Highly recommend just buying the cake here so you don't waste time picking it from another location. It taste amazing too! read more

Jameson Chicken is a must! Pass on the shrimp appetizer - shrimp are good but that sauce leaves something to be desired. Love the entrees here, they are huge and delicious. Most recently went to do a party for my babies first birthday and Bridget was extremely accommodating. We booked the place and the day before we found out we had Covid so I had to cancel. Bridget put me at ease by refunding me the deposit and making sure that my well being was a priority. You have to honor businesses like that because a lot of the other vendors for my sons bday kept all the money even though they gave me no product. I can't wait to be back and consider this venue for future events. read more
