Top 10 Bars & Clubs in Times Square / Theater District, New York (NY)

March 23, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

O'Lunney's Times Square Pub

Reviewed By brandim3110 - Lynchburg, United States

After a delayed train and missed dinner reservations, this restaurant offered excellent food and friendliness at the end of a busy day. The host staff, every server, and the owner himself treated us like welcome guests for our post-theater dinner. Each of us got a different dish and each was great and well-presented. The dark woodwork, stained glass lamps, candles and flowers on the table, and pub decor created a very pleasant atmosphere. Good variety on the menu with reasonable prices too. Thsnk you!

The venue is intimate, the food was scrumptious, and then... there was the SHOW!!! From the opening act to the final song, it was pure ENTERTAINMENT! The choreography was impeccable ... so much going on fluidly with perfection. We did not know what to expect when we got tickets. We loved every minute of all of the performances and every morsel of food was delicious. This is an absolute MUST if visiting NYC!

Reviewed By DocMd613 - Silver Spring, United States

It is not standard NYC fare: not Broadway, not Lincoln Center, No Opera....but a fun evening with two highly knowledgeable piano men - who know a huge variety of all types of tunes from Irish Ethnic to Classic Rock and Roll, to Current Pop, to Broadway, to you name it.....People suggest songs to be played -- they clearly enjoy what they are doing.....everyone gets into it with dedications - there are audience fun participation contests. Drinks and snacks are available at a small cost that are quiet enjoyable. Come in open to participate and go out with the biggest smile on your face. All leave with talk of a having a great time!!!
