Our son had been touting Playwright since we came to visit. It has a fantastic Irish vibe. We just missed the Irish band. I started with a pint of Half and Half followed by chicken pot pie. (So delicious.) My wife had the Reuben (very tasty.) Our son enjoyed the veggie plate. For a wonderful family faire, be sure to check out Playwright.

We went here for an early dinner. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered the corned beef and cabbage.

My dish came with 3 large pieces of fish on top of a pile of fries and a cup of cole slaw. It was enough for 3 meals. My wife's dish had plenty of corned beef on top of cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. She was very pleased with the meal.

Super friendly service.

I love this place! The food is amazing and the cozy atmosphere is perfect, especially on cold winter nights. I love the live music, too! The fish and chips are amazing, as is the chicken pot pie. Definitely give this place a try!

Really nice Irish pub with modern music playing with an Irish twist. Had good IPA choices on draft and delicious chicken pot pie. Big portions. Split the chicken pot pie with a friend and we both were satisfied. 10/10
