The fish and chips, and the shepherds pie, are delicious. Upgraded from 4 to 5 stars after a couple more visits and comparing prices / quality to other spots in the city. Atmosphere is better further back in the restaurant.

Visited 2 days in a row. First visit included food, both days involved beer. The service was great and felt authentic with so much of the staff from Ireland.

I love Irish Bar and Pubs for their welcoming and happy vibe. So when I was disappointed by Gravy’s Irish Pub and went hunting for another one and to my surprise discovered O’Donoghue’s and instantly loved it. The service is spot on with interactive and polite servicer’s. They were happy to help and gave good suggestions. Angel was very helpful is offering me choices to as to what to eat as I’m a new vegetarian. Even Jonathan was great to talk to, he seated me on the best table possible. Everything is was a good experience for sure. Clean and neat washrooms. Would surely revisit. Cheers.

We were exhausted after a busy day of touring & shopping in Times Square, not to mention famished after wasting an hour trying to find a place to eat. After experiencing massive disappointment at 2 major American chains, we were so grateful to have stumbled across O’Donoghue’s, and with some time left to enjoy happy hour! I can not say enough good things about this place. The pub is beautifully designed and meticulously clean. The entire staff was so cheerful, attentive, and helpful – even during a super-busy dinner rush. We enjoyed some fabulous drinks and entrees. I have to mention that the salmon on my Caesar salad was cooked perfectly – which is a rare find – so huge kudos to the chef. We would absolutely love to visit again on our next trip. Thanks so much to everyone for such an enjoyable evening!

O’Donoghue’s Times Square is a lively Irish pub nestled in the heart of New York City’s Theater District. With its warm ambiance and friendly staff, it offers a welcoming spot for both locals and visitors. Food & Drink: The menu features a variety of traditional Irish and American dishes. Patrons often recommend the Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips for their hearty portions and authentic flavors. The bar boasts 24 beers on tap, including a selection of Irish brews, ensuring a refreshing choice for every guest. That said, food and drinks are a little pricey compared to other spots in the area. Service: Service is generally attentive, with many guests praising the staff’s friendliness and efficiency. However, during peak hours, some have noted slight delays, which is common in bustling city centers. Atmosphere: The pub exudes an authentic Irish charm, featuring cozy interiors and a vibrant atmosphere. It’s an ideal spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing or before catching a Broadway show. Overall: O’Donoghue’s Times Square offers a delightful blend of good food, refreshing drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. Just be prepared for slightly higher prices. Still worth a visit whether you’re in the city for a short stay or a local looking for a casual dining spot.

The beer was good. I'm a pale ale kinda gal and enjoyed one of their specials. The flatbreads were fantastic! I tried both. Enjoyed the non-vegetarian option better. Only minus- our server disappeared forever and was not the best. I'd come here definitely with different server. Prices reasonable and open late.

Great pub off Time Square, which truly reminded me of our visits to the pubs in Ireland. The front desk seated us promptly with our reservations, and our server came by right away. Typical pub food, but with a nice variety, which we had Crab Mushrooms, Salad with grilled chicken, and Fish and Chips. The crab mushrooms were excellent with lots of real crab, and the Fish and Chips were very well made with crisp texture and very little oil. And of course, Guinness on tap… Overall a great getaway to a friendly pub away from the crowds of Time Square. Tips for your visit: Make a reservation to ensure you have a table

Close but not quite, let down by volume. A decent Irish bar just off Times Square, some reasonably good Guinness and some very good music. The problem is that the Guinness isn’t in pints and the music isn’t loud enough. You hardly get into the Guinness and it’s gone and the music is loud enough to recognise that it’s good (Fountaines D.C. and The Smiths for example) but not loud enough that you can hear it. Slightly increase the volume of both the Guinness and the music and you’re sorted.

Today 14th December 2025 the last daytime bartender Tanya from Ireland was very polite who's service was wonderful. Very busy and follow customers seemed to enjoy their time here that is a great sign for a bar restaurant. Only downside is a pint of beer is $11 for a IPA so expensive even for Times Square. Think there was a bar that gave specials on weekends during the day in Times Square but is not this bar so only three stars overall even though their food and service and atmosphere is great. Once back in 2024 had their weekend Irish breakfast that was good. Very recommended. Close to Times Square.

Very underwhelming. Chicken "pot pie" was just a very shallow bowl of very thin chicken soup with a piece of puff pastry on top. Tasted fine. Walk a few blocks and find better.

This place is good but our waitress sucked so bad. She was very rude. As a server myself, I know that sometimes I have lots of rough days but this woman didn’t even smile, and she basically did nothing for us. I was trying to get back to my table when I said excuse me, and she didn’t move so I had to walk around to get back. Very rude! As for the food, there is nothing spectacular about it but it was pretty decent. Also, It is pretty crowded and cramped but common for a small pub. Overall, I would say the service sucks and the food is mediocre. Not my favorite restaurant. Prices were pretty expensive but typical for New York City.

Small place, waitress wasn't attentive. Ordered a Shepard pie, which tasted like canned soup. Potatoes were delicious. We ordered coors lights which was flat and warm. Waitress said "thats how their served"
