The Playwright Irish Pub

I wish I could give ZERO stars to this piece of dump. I went with my family (a party of nine) In a Monday, after registering with the hostess, we sat at the bar and ordered some beers. We had to wait for an hour to be seated, ONE HOUR IN A MONDAY!!! the bar was empty but apparently they didn’t have enough staff to cover the night. finally when we were seated, the real mess started. we ordered the food (mostly hamburgers and fries) and after a while the waitress came to tell us that they didn’t have burgers that night. we decided for something else and some more beers (BTW, they just have like six different types, very lame for a “so called” Irish Pub) we waited one hour, yes ONE HOUR, until the waitress came and brought one sandwich and french fries (disgusting fries by the way) the other eight had to wait for about 20 more minutes to be told a bunch of excuses about the lateness of our food. finally the manager came to give his face, but came with attitude and some more stupid excuses. when we asked an explanation, he gave us his back and walked away. is this the way a MANAGER should handle a situation like that? been rude and behaving like a complete idiot? I hope the owners of this place read the reviews because sooner than later they will face tough times. IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED AS YOU DESERVE… STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!

This place advertises as an “authentic Irish Pub” …well, the decor is imported from an old Irish church, and it looks cool, but that’s about all that Irish there. I mean, Thai spring rolls? steak salad? with dried cranberries? what’s Irish about that. And they did have corned Beef (and Irish-American dish) but when I asked about a sandwich, the (very nice) waiter explained that they had no rye bread or sourkraut…. um, that’s the Jewish Reuban. Plus, any one who has read the classic satirist, Jonathan Swift would be equally squicked by the appetizer listed as “Succulent baby ribs” Service was good, lots of open space, decent selection of on tap beers… But it just ain’t Irish.
