The Playwright oozes everything that a traditional Irish Pub is made of—fare like Fish & Chips and Guinness Stew, spacious rooms with a heavy wood accent, and an always bustling crowd. This New Haven favorite offers lunch, dinner, and snack foods for those with growling stomachs, while its full bar can cater to most of your alcoholic needs. On weekend nights, you are sure to see this place packed with people either enjoying the live local bands or dancing to spins by the DJ in the back room.
