About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
Located in the heart of New York City, O'Donoghue's is Times Square's newest addition, blending the excitement of the Big Apple city with the old Irish warmth. With 24 beers on tap, 10 HD plasma flat screens, traditional Irish and American cuisine and a charming staff, O'Donoghue's is the perfect place to unwind after work (happy hour specialty drinks), for sporting events (showing all major sports channels) and private parties (party packages available). We're right in the middle of the Theatre District, so stop by for pre/post-theatre meal & drinks, or if you're just shopping around town. We're also around the corner from the most famous New Year's Eve celebration in the world, the Times Square's New Year's Eve Ball Drop, so plan your holiday parties with us!

    Food, Service, and Ambience were all good. And the location is very close to Broadway theaters. The lower rating was due to the men's room toilet being so dirty, as to be unusable, which is unacceptable. This required a long return to the hotel, and a near catastrophe.

    Pot pie was subpar. Tasted like frozen pot pie with a pastry on top.

    Potato soup was good, but could have been warmer. Caesar salad was overdressed. Wine was good.
