Huge 3 story bar located adjacent to Theater District, 6th, and up from Bryant Park. Been here for many benefits on the third floor where the room is spacious, bar was flowing, and buffet was a bit more than just bar food. Same with the ground floor- great service, nice staff, and commuter, tourist, and theater-goer mix, read more

Connolly's is an absolute icon in New York City. It is exactly what you want in an Irish pub, and the staff here are incredible - many of them have been here for years, which really speaks to the heart of the place. I've been coming here for 15+ years specifically for the live music. I remember when the cover was typically $10, $15, or $20. However, when we went this evening, the cover was $40 per person. For a casual night out, that felt quite steep, especially since the pricing wasn't listed on the website. I still love the atmosphere and the history here, but I wish the cover charges were more transparent online so guests could plan accordingly. Definitely a "live and learn" moment - I'll be sure to call ahead next time to check the door price! read more

The restaurant was fairly busy during a lunch weekday. The place is well decorated and has a good vibe to it. The food was good, nothing too special and the portion was large. Sometimes it was hard to get a hold of our server but the service itself was good. read more

Got to the city earlier than expected to see a play, started to rain heavily so we ditched into Connolly's for a drink. Old Irish pub with a lot of history serving over 50+ beers and full bar drinks of your choice. Service is very fast and didn't have to wait for ur drinks. Decided to order some food and the French Dip and Reuben was very good. Definitely recommend if you're in Times Square or waiting to see a show definitely stop in and check out what they have to offer. read more

After finding a pizza place that we wanted to go to closed we decided to check out Connolly's. Upon entering we were told to go upstairs for quicker service, so we did and we're immediately seated. A server grabbed us waters and I eventually ordered a downeast cider from MA. The cider was super refreshing and had hints of sweetness without being too overpowering. With my stomach not being too happy I ordered a baked potato and my mom the fish and chips substituting the fries for onion rings. Well the onion rings, to put it as nice as possible, had seen better days. They were way over cooked and hard as bricks--we did not need to even bite into one to notice this! Thankfully the server understood and swapped out the rings for another piece of fish. And speaking of the fish it was amazing! Lightly fried and a little crispy around the edges it made every bite so good--no tartar sauce needed! Also, the meal came with coleslaw, which was nice surprise. It was cool and creamy and delicious as well. One of the servers recommended that next time we should get vinegar with the fish as it makes it even better. Great service and good food. read more

Nice Pub Vibes - we made a reservation, but they were able to seat us early when we were ahead of schedule. The portions were large - we all stuck to the standard, Fish and chips. Not bad, the fryer oil for the fish definitely needed to be changed out though. The award winning apple crisp was disappointing, just basic apple pie with a crisp on top. The Cheesecake was better! read more

A fine pub. Crowded and noisy even on a late Thursday night. Plenty of TVs showing various sports. The Guinness was fresh. I enjoyed the cheese and chicken quesadillas. Key lime pie was mediocre. Service was courteous, but became less attentive after a shift change. A solid choice for late night food and drink after the theater. read more

11/8/25 - This place is walking distance from Times Square. We walked into the first level and the staff directed us to the second floor to be seated for dinner. We were seated right away and the waitstaff were attentive throughout our time there. I ordered the Applewood Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which came with a side of fries and a pickle slice, for $21. The fries weren't anything special but I did like the sandwich. The portion was bigger than I expected and it was filling due to it having 2 pieces of chicken breast stacked on top of each other. The second floor also has bar seating in addition to larger tables for families or bigger parties. It is a noisier environment so if you're looking for a quiet, calm place to dine this won't be for you. There are multiple TV's throughout the pub showing different sports events. read more

This was our second time at Connolly's and it was just as good as the first. Our niece met us here, and she arrived first. Got a comfortable booth with excellent wait staff! Food was good and plentiful. Niece and Husband had the Irish stew, and I had the Chicken Cheese Quesadilla. We left food behind because we were full & had no safe way to bring leftovers to our hotels for tomorrow's snack. The place is beautiful, warm & comfortable. We didn't feel rushed at all. We'll definitely be back! read more

Rarely have eaten at a pub since a trip through Ireland a couple of years ago. Met some out-of-town friends for lunch today, and they had theatre tickets for a matinee and we wanted lunch. Every place we'd thought of ahead of time was totally slammed - yes, they decided to come in on the weekend before Christmas, kind of a crazy time, especially in the area around Rockefeller Center! But we passed this place and they had some open tables, so in we went, no reservations, and no problem! We were seated in their back section, in a cozy corner. The place was close to full, but it was surprisingly not loud and raucous. That was a pleasant surprise! One friend had a Guinness (of course!) and his lunch was the potato leek soup and the big beer pretzel. Loved it. His wife and I shared an order of wings, meaty and good. She asked for the wings mild, so I asked for hot sauce and that worked out perfectly. We also shared the Greek Goddess Salad, which had 4 or 5 large shrimp on it. Very good and the 2 items were plenty for 2 of us. Each had 4 wings and, duh, half the salad. My husband had a focaccia that he said was okay. He and I each had a half-pint of Guinness. All in all, a good lunch at a nice place in a crazy touristy neighborhood we Manhattanites generally avoid! Try it, something for everyone, vegetarians and carnivores. read more

Stopped by Connolly's since I needed a spot to get a quick bite before a 7:30 pm Broadway show at the St James Theater. This was my first time here and the place was busier than expected on a Wednesday at 6 pm. The first floor was completely full so a hostess walked us upstairs to the 2nd floor. All of the bar seats were taken upstairs as well so she agreed to seat us at a table on the far side of the dining room at the windows and said we could only have the table until 7 pm, when a large party was coming in. The acoustics by the bar area were so loud, so it was definitely better sound wise to be seated at a table by the windows - however the heat vents were right next to our legs/feet, so it was uncomfortable temperature wise after a while. Since we only had an hour, we decided we'd just share a couple of apps. Their app selection isn't the most enticing. I asked the waitress how many chicken tenders ($16) come in an order - she told me 6-8, so I was disappointed when 4 average size tenders came out on the plate - we also had to wait to get small plates to eat them on since they didn't bring them out before or with the food. Our second app were the soft baked pretzel sticks ($14) - 3 in an order. Those were very good with the beer cheese. They have an expansive selection of beers on tap - I thought I'd get a little bit of a bargain by ordering one of their house beers but it's the same cost as the other beers on tap (no drink prices on the menu). They also have Kona Big Wave incorrectly listed on their menu under the IPAs - despite having an 'Ale" section. Right at 6:50 pm, the giant group they warned us about came in and took up all the dining tables on the 2nd floor - they didn't seem to be from the US. This bar seems to attract a big tourist crowd, probably because of its proximity to Times Square. I was pretty underwhelmed and don't need to come back here again. read more

Surprised at how good the burgers were! Get them medium rare and you'll enjoy the juiciness of a solid patty. I went with the daily special of wagyu blend Guinness infused patty with Guinness onions and cheese and wow was that good! I hate the slightest taste of beer, so I was very happy with how this turned out--all flavor, no weird after tastes at all. Sweet potato fries were better than regular fries. All fires aren't greasy/salty, so I was happy not to feel heavy after a late dinner. There are multiple floors in this massive establishment. If you're looking for a dinner spot, do first floor--it's the least loud/rowdy option. The higher you go, the rowdier the vibe gets. The rooftop get super packed and busy and insanely loud. Staff--depending on the mood of each person, you might get lucky, or not so much. read more

This is a really cool spot. It is aesthetically pleasing and exciting to see. They have draft handles as faucets in bathroom and kegs as a sink - that IS really cool and creative. The staff was welcoming and everyone went above and beyond. The serve was kind, professional, efficient and he and the rest of the servers and bussers continually checked on us and other tables. They work as a team. The ambiance is lovely. They okay music but we went during a championship game so game was playing which was the reason for us going in the first place. TVs everywhere. The prices are reasonable. There is a great selection of menu items and plenty of Irish dishes. We ordered the spicy wings, pot pie and fries. The fries are amazing! Nice and airy and crispy and cooked to perfection. The pot pie was good but I personally like a more chicken knorr or poultry seasoning flavoring which I felt lacked. Overall just okay for my liking. The fried were good. Fresh and piping hot. Great place just off time square (one block) wit a great vibe. We settled on their roof top bar that's closed off with AC but there's an outdoor are for smokers. I highly recommend this place. read more

Service was ok but food was a lot better a year ago. Cobb salad just ok and fish and chips just so fair. Waiter was so rushed.

Fun Irish pub to spend time after the St. Patricks day parade. Be prepared , it gets very crowded but the staff professionally handles the crowd with grace. They have the typical Irish fanfare food that would be expected at an Irish Pub. I had the good ole' Corned beef and cabbage. The Corned beef was a little dry but quite a portion. The potatoes and carrots were pure perfection. Connolly's has a vast selection of beer . If you are looking for an Irish beer to try I suggest Smithwicks. It's a satisfying red ale. Connolly's also has Allagash - the beer that compliments any meal! Fun place to have a beer , burger and to celebrate life! read more

DO NOT ORDER GRUBHUB FROM HERE! I did and when I went to pick it up, they told me they don't accept Grubhub orders anymore, so I had to call Yelp to get them to cancel my order which they did pretty easily, but still would have liked to avoided the hassle. Ended up ordering takeout and got a burger and fries which were ready in about 10 minutes. They tasted fine. Near Times Square. Dine in seemed busy on a Sunday night, but no line. Pub ambiance. read more

What a great spot to help celebrate St. Patrick's Day! The place was PACKED (obviously) but my group managed to get a table relatively quickly. The host stand was definitely disorganized but once we got seated, the service was great and the food came out quickly. The curry fries were good, but I could've had a bit more of the curry flavor in the sauce. The fish and chips were above average for what I've had in the US and were crispy! read more

Was in NYC on my day off and stumbled upon this Irish pub/restaurant and since it was lunch time figured id give it a shot. I was greeted and seated within a couple of minutes. The atmosphere is warm and inviting The menu is a mix of traditional American food and beers as well as Irish classic food such as shepherds pie , Irish breakfast sausage , and bangers and mash (which is what I ordered). The server I had had an Irish accent which added to the overall feel of the restaurant. I also had the Connollys Irish Red house beer. The Bangers and mash were exceptional and cooked the perfection. The potatoes were light and airy and the bangers were nice a juicy. I don't have Irish food often but when I do I try to find a place that is as close to authentic as I can find. I will definitely be back when I come to the city again Gave 4 stars because the men's bathroom on the first floor is very tiny hard to move in read more

My daughter really wanted an Irish breakfast. So, we came to Connolly's for brunch. I got the banana walnut pancakes, she got the Irish breakfast and my friend got a chicken Panini. The food was pretty good. My pancakes, which were regular pancakes topped with a scoop of strawberry butter, some honey roasted walnuts (did not seem like it was done in House) and some sliced banana. On the menu said it was served with maple syrup. It did not come with syrup at all. I had to flag the waitress down to try to get some. It did not taste like it was fresh maple syrup. It tasted like "Log Cabin" or something like that. There was a party going on outside. There wasn't really anybody else inside except for us. Then another party might've shown up and we're hanging out by the bar. Our waitress was really not around to help us in anyway. I definitely would not come back for brunch here. read more

This is such a solid pre-theatre dinner spot! I love the look and feel of Connolly's - such a very nice pub. I love that I never need to wait for a table. The food is always quick and good.

Great location just off time square. We ended up here at midnight, as it's across from the hotel we stayed at. Food was good quality. Husband absolutely loved the prime rib dip (and he's from Los Angeles - the home of prime rib dip). I got the portobello focaccia - I don't have much to say about it, as I got it due to not feeling well and was scared to eat mostly anything else in the city due to grease lol. This was a good choice, since it has fresh vegetables and wasn't greasy. read more

Great Irish pub right near Times Square. Typical Irish pub fare with a warm dark wood interior.

Good fun! read more

Pre-theater meal was really good. We were there about 5pm and the place was not crowded. Then it was. Typical bar ambiance with a couple of standouts like bathrooms with sliding barn doors. So cool! Food was really good! 4 of us had Shepherd's Pie, soft Pretzels, and the best corned beef Reuben. We liked it so much, we came back after Gypsy and had drinks and apps in the enclosed rooftop. This girl, who's usually in bed by 9pm, was out till 3am. I highly recommend Connoly's read more

The establishment was veryyy crowded and noisy. The decor was nice but a little over the top with the lights and Irish signs and posters etc. the waiters also weren't the most attentive and tables definitely dirty/wobbly which didn't make for the best dining experience. However, they did have a great drink here, I believe it was called the beatbox or blue seagrass? Price was definitely reasonable and as someone who doesn't like most drink tastes, this one tasted pretty good. the fries we ordered was also decent price and unique flavor of curry but unfortunately didn't hit the spot. Overall decent place but don't think I'd come back again. read more

I cannot comment on the drinks. I cannot really comment on the ambiance. What I can comment on is the service and our meal that afternoon and the service. Their chili stuffed potato skin was filling, comforting, and so good! It's a meal in itself, but it served as our appetizer. I don't see it on the menu anymore. I ordered their Harp Beer Battered Fish and Chips while he ordered the Guiness Grilled Rib Steak. Their fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The fish wasn't greasy. They were huge pieces of fish fried perfectly. It paired so well w/ the coleslaw and the tanginess from the tartar sauce. The leftovers did create a bit of grease, but it was to be expected. I still enjoyed it that night! I was thirsty and must have had 4 Diet Coke refills. Our server was quick and checked on us a few times. I really appreciate the fact that I did not have to ask for a refill of my soda. I wasn't so sure about the steak, but he finished it and said it was good. Mmmm, I'm thinking about the fish and chips and potato skins right now! read more

Classic Irish pub in the heart of Manhattan. If they take their Guinness pouring seriously, you know it's legit! I would like to return to try some food- the people sitting next to us raved about the shepherds pie and fish & chips, so if you're hungry I would try those two dishes! The 4th floor has a rooftop, I didn't have a chance to go but heard it's nice! Great service, friendly staff, and great beer selection! read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a quick and easy experience. Managed to grab a seat during the lunch rush and the waitstaff was super quick to take our order! The ambiance is typical of a British pub and the staff were efficient. Ordered the bangers and mash and they were ok. Unlike traditional british bangers with dense and flavorful sausages, I found these bangers to be heavily processed and not too fresh...bummer. Portions were gigantic and was perfect for sharing. The volume of mashed potatoes may have been suitable for a family of 4... read more

If you find yourself in the mid-town area and looking for a bite to eat that's not one of the big chain restaurants in Times Square, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Service was good... and quick! Food was tasty! I loved the atmosphere. Prices were incredibly reasonable considering the area. For appetizers we ordered the soft pretzels and beer cheese.... Those were very good! For my entree I ordered the chicken pot pie. It was probably the best chicken pot pie I've ever had! Highly recommend!!

An outstanding experience from start to finish! Connolly's Pub on 45th Street was an exceptional experience, especially given the time of year and the intensity of the surrounding area. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance between lively and comfortable -- warm, welcoming, and exactly what you want from a classic NYC pub. The ambience is authentic and relaxed, with a layout that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself without feeling crowded or rushed. What really stood out, though, was the professionalism of the staff. Everyone I interacted with was courteous, organized, and clearly experienced at handling a busy environment while still making guests feel taken care of. It's clear that Connolly's is well-run and that they value both their patrons and the overall experience. Whether you're stopping in for a casual drink or planning something more structured, this is a place that delivers consistently. I would absolutely return and would recommend Connolly's to anyone looking for a polished, enjoyable pub experience in Midtown. read more

Our family of 4 had a mixed experience at Connolly's Pub & Restaurant (45th Street location). Service was tolerable (decent by midtown Manhattan standards) and everyone except me found their food "edible." I was looking forward to Connolly's Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich which was described in the menu as "Open-faced corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, thousand island dressing, rye. This was a major disappointment. The corned beef was OK but they left out most of the sauerkraut and dressing. I don't think I've ever tried to eat a drier corned beef Reuben sandwich! Despite my major disappointment with the Reuben sandwich, I decided to join my kids and take a chance with the dessert menu. This choice paid off. I rated their cheesecake as 4 out 5 s. read more

Great place right next to our hotel, Hyatt Centric. Outstanding food and tasty beer. Great service and a nice vibe. We had bacon cheeseburgers and fish and chips.

Loved it. read more

Had dinner here twice as it was close to the hotel. The first night I got the Irish beef stew and it was hearty, warm, and fulfilling. I didn't know how huge of a portion it was and wish they would've sold it in a cup like the other soups ($20+). The server, however, didn't pay much attention to me and I had to end up going to the front to get my check taken care of. The second night, there were several corporate parties going on and the only table available for the 7 of us was a table near the door in the loud bar. I got the fish tacos this time (came with 3) and still was very tasty. If you can, get a table up on the 4th floor 2023 #111 read more
