The Playwright Irish Pub, Restaurant & Banquet Facility has established itself as Hamden's authentic slice of the Emerald Isle. We opened our doors in 1999 and have been growing and providing excellent service ever since. We serve fine Irish fare and American cuisine for lunch and dinner, daily. Every Sunday from 11am - 1:30pm we also offer a traditional Irish breakfast and brunch menu. Located in the Whitneyville neighborhood of Hamden, it is where families, friends and neighbors gather to enjoy good food, the perfect pint of Guinness and listen to live music. In addition to our restaurant, pub and outdoor decks, The Playwright boasts the perfect space for your next special occasion or event. Our beautiful and spacious banquet facility can accommodate anywhere from 25-75 guests for a sit down party, and up to 150 guests for a cocktail buffet event! Call today!
