I was in NY on business and a few of my colleagues and I arrived late on a Sunday night and were looking for a non-chain place for a late dinner. Most of the places we visited were only offering a bar menu at 9:30PM. So we kept on walking and stopping in pubs/restaurants until we ran into one with a full menu which was Connolly's. The place was fairly busy, but the service was good. There was also a decent beer menu offering some local beer. The place was clean and stag friendly. Overall the experience and food were good. I'd definitely visit again.

Food was good and the staff was really nice. Small but good atmosphere. It was decorated for the holidays.

I ordered the Guinness rib steak which came overcooked with a huge pile of spongy previously frozen "baby" carrots. I sent the steak back as I had asked for "medium". The steak was more to my liking on the second go-round but sadly nothing could be done to make those sad carrots edible. I ordered a cocktail which was little more than soda and a disappointment for $14. Dessert was equally disappointing. My daughter had a burger that she thoroughly enjoyed . This is probably a fine place id you are looking for bar food and a beer...but stay away from their dinner entrees.

Good atmosphere and decent food make this a safe choice for a good value meal and lively conversation! Sports are live on the many TVs and there's a good selection of beer and pub food. I had their signature Gaelic Burger - pretty damned good!
