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!

We look forward to serving you and making you part of the family! As soon as you walk in, you dive into the world of our founder, Eamonn Ryan. The Playwright is decorated with authentic artwork, all of which comes directly from Ireland. We pride ourself on providing delicious food, excellent customer service, and lovely entertainment. The Playwright in Hamden opened in 1999 and is one of Connecticut's most authentic Irish Pub, Restaurant and Banquet Facilities. Twice a week, we house a Live Traditional Irish Music Session, which occurs every Tuesday and Sunday. Other live music acts we house include the one and only Jeff Conlon (http://www.jeffconlon.net/), the wonderful multi-genre David & Chenot (https://www.stellaforbes.com/davidandchenot) and the Connecticut-based Irish and Celtic Music Band, The Coracles (http://www.thecoracles.com/), just to name a few. Every Wednesday at 8:30 PM, Anthony Apuzzo of http://digitaltracksdj.com/ leads our trivia event, which includes cash prizes. We hope to see you soon!
