Happy Hour at Playwright Celtic Pub
Playwright Celtic Pub is a four-floor Irish pub on 8th Avenue between 45th and 46th, parked right on the edge of Hell’s Kitchen and the Theater District. With roughly two dozen HD screens spread across the floors plus a rooftop beer garden, it’s built for game day and pre-show crowds alike.
The vibe is a big, easygoing sports bar rather than a quiet local, with soccer, NFL, and college football on constant rotation and DJ nights on the weekend. Steps from Times Square, it’s a convenient spot to grab a pint before a Broadway show or settle in for the afternoon slate.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday. The main bar pours deals through the daytime and afternoon, while the 3rd and 4th floors carry specials from 4 PM to close. Reported prices have landed around $4 beer cans, $5 select drafts, and $6 cocktails, but the venue’s own specials page is currently being updated, so the exact current deals aren’t published online. Confirm by phone before relying on specific prices.
The Room
Four floors of HD-TV-lined bar and restaurant space topped by a rooftop beer garden, with room for private parties, catering, and weekend DJ nights.
