“ We recently had a wonderful lunch experience at Connolly's on East 47th Street. We were allowed to dine in their outdoor seating area with our well-behaved Pup, which was appreciated. We had the Harp Beer Battered Fish & Chips which was absolutely delicious. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. Excellent food, excellent service washed down with a few pints of perfectly poured Smithwick's, can't go wrong. Pub is steps away from Grand Central's North End Access making it a seamless trek back to my Metro North Train. ”
“ Stopped in for bite when it poured down. Service was crisp, and the food fine. Couldn't work out if the bar was more 'irish' than the others on Manhattan. ”
“ Recently visited NYC for the holidays foundation this quaint little Irish pub for my husband and WOW! Food was amazing, service was outstanding and as busy as it was the wait was minimal. Def try the Irish stew or the Harp fish and chips they were delicious! ”
“ If you’re looking for a stellar Irish pub, Connolly’s is it. Great beer selection. Irish bartenders. Two floors. Plenty of TVs. Perfect for a gathering or to watch a sports event. Ideal for a pint of whatever you fancy. ”
“ This place was worth hoping for! Seriously though, these workers are superior, notably friendly, well-informed and make you feel welcome from the start. I savored every mouthful. This restaurant has uncommon attributes. The restaurant has a courteous team. ”
“ Came in for a late dinner and was convinced to ditch my ambition for shepherd’s pie in favor of the fish and chips. I wasn’t disappointed! Pretty classic Irish pub that’s reasonably priced for the area (23 for fish and chips meal). Service was friendly, but not the quickest. Great for a low key meal or happy hour ”
“ Fast service. We didn’t eat but everything we saw looked good. Staff wasn’t friendly until you interacted with them. But TOTALLY get it. It was so busy and they were into working. Which is amazing! Would recommend. ”
“ Connolly's is one of the better Irish pubs in New York City. The 47th street establishment is my favorite location. The bartenders here are, and always have been, outstanding. Jimmy is the best!!! ”
