This Place Rocks by Joey123 on 11/19/2009 via Citysearch
Seriously. \r \r This place rocks. \r \r The wine is so varied and the staff knows all about it and are so happy to help you choose. The food is delish, but beware when the bread pudding starts to bake you will not be able to refuse…

Deceivingly Large by drink_club1 on 9/18/2009 via Citysearch
The place is a bit disorienting. It's another one of those bars that works like the Dr. Who police box (or was it a phone booth?) You walk in, and it looks like a small bar with loud clientele, a harried bar-tender and not much room to do…

great bar, great sit down dinner by travel568 on 3/13/2009 via Citysearch
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…

Can't Wait for New Year's 2009 by Caymanny on 1/6/2009 via Citysearch
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…

Great pre and post theater by Melissa W on 12/3/2008 via Insider Pages
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.…

Average by Jaymen on 9/6/2008 via Citysearch
This place is in a great location, which is probably it's main positive. They do have a variety of beers, however, also tend to run out of just what you want. Bar staff, mostly imported from Ireland, can be talkative or attentive, or…

Wrong stop by rjnyeater on 4/6/2008 via Citysearch
I love to go to the city and try new restaurants, but this place was an mistake. My friend and I were walking through Times Square looking for a place to eat, everywhere we walked into had a long wait. There was no wait in here, instead…

Poor Customer Service by Travel22 on 3/6/2008 via Citysearch
Stopped in recently for dessert and drinks, only to find complete disappointment! We waited over 15 minutes for a piece of cheesecake!! Our waitress never came by to check on us, and mind you, it was not busy at all. We were not offered…

Great Mid Town Place by joecarey on 11/3/2007 via Citysearch
I born and raised in the city and I think this place is the best bar in midtown. Everytime I go there,either with my friends or my wife Margo, we always have a good time. There is always something going on there. Yeah, it gets a little…

Why did I go here? by glamourgirljoanne on 7/23/2007 via Citysearch
For my husband's 50th birthday, I had made plans to have a late lunch in Little Italy (DaNico's), check in at The Michelangelo Hotel on 51st St and then head to the theatre (Mama Mia). Everything was amazing until he decided that he was…

Bartenders with attitudes, mediocre food, and lowsy door control by usmcr on 6/10/2007 via Citysearch
I always go to this bar for the UFC events. The bartenders always have an attitude, thinking they're too good to pay attention or serve you. The food is seriously overpriced and quality is mediocre at best, and the inability of the doorman…

Its the best season of the year again,besides for Christmas, yes ST. PATRICK day is among us. Times Square is a great place for Irish pub hopping. The Playwright is my favorite place especialy for Paddy's day. Its 2 blocks from 5 ave…

WHAT IS IT YOU SEE ? by pauli76 on 1/4/2006 via Citysearch
This place is so so over rated. The booze is flat and the food only average. Honestly, you should expect more from New York. I don't recommend thia place..

Great Bartenders by Jaykind on 2/28/2003 via Citysearch
This place has the best bartenders in the city. They are attentive and they actually buy you drinks.....In NYC, this is a dying practice. The drinks are cheap, the place is cozy, and serves as an oasis in the land of theme bars and…

A good pre-theater choice by jessecj on 1/5/2003 via Citysearch
In response to the guest who complained aobut a 6:30 reservation not getting them to the theater on time, I would suggest simply having dinner at 6. The service at Playwright Tavern is efficient and friendly. The food and prices are good.

Save yourself the trouble. by davidlcooper on 12/31/2002 via Citysearch
Do yourself a favor and avoid this place if you are dining before a theater performance. We made a reservation for 6:30, but did not get seated until 7 pm. We then waited until 7:35 before any food arrived at our table, despite the fact…

wonderful! by jmchang81 on 11/13/2002 via Citysearch
I've eaten at the Playwright's Tavern 5 times. The food there is absolutely wonderul (although a little pricey), and the wait staff is very friendly (most are international and aspiring actors/actresses). It is definitely a place to eat…
