Solid neighborhood spot in Queens. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind with friends or catch a game. It has that classic local bar feel that’s hard to find these days. The staff are friendly and the service is consistent. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the food is decent nothing fancy, but it hits the spot. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable hanging out for a while. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and want a laid-back spot with good vibes.

Connolly’s is our Family go to place! We’ve shared many momentous moments there especially my daughter’s Babyshower. Ella our waitress was Spectacular. The guys were very attentive. Bridgette is a dream come true. Everyone was equally impressed. I usually get sweet potato fries and a burger. It was great to see their party menu.They also have very decadent desserts! Yum yum

We were here for my sister's 80th surprise birthday party. They have some nice party spaces, emphasis on spaces. They can have more than one party separated from other parties all going on at the same time. The food was good but given that it was party food, I don't feel competent to give it a five-star rating. The future I'll be happy to give it a rating. The drinks are good. The food was good and I really like the bar atmosphere that they have outside of the party spaces. Dark wood large roomy booths you're not crowded in here at all. The service staff were very attentive. I barely ever ran out of beer, they were just great. They cleaned up everything 123 so you weren't dealing with messy tables. They were really good. We will return here in the future just to go there and taste the regular menu and have a nice dinner or lunch.

Great servers. Looking at you Julie and Gabby. always remember their regulars and make newcomers feel welcome. I'd give the atmosphere 5 stars but during the day it's a little quiet and relaxed and i understand not everyone likes that. but great place. Great people been going there since we worked in the neighborhood a few years back. still make the trek half a decade later for the Great experience. prices include drinks in my review and we've had lunch and dinner.

We arrived and were seated immediately. The servers were professional and courteous. They answered questions and were patient while we decided. The appetizer and the food came quickly but not unreasonably so. They seemed to have the timing down. We had fish tacos which were good, but not exceptional. I had a steak which was delicious and cooked as ordered. The twice baked potato was so so. It didn't match the quality of my steak or vegetables. My wife had a simple beet salad which h she enjoyed. Bill came quickly when requested. We will return again.

Wife and I arrived at 1:00pm and the place was fairly empty. Place is large with tv screens behind bar. Ordered full rack of spare ribs which came with potatoe wedges and cole slaw. The meat was so delicious and tender and fell off the bone upon touch. Nice sized portion which I would definitely recommend. Wife ordered 6 jumbo shrimp and linguine which came in a lemon sauce. She loved it and it was so large that she brought home leftovers. Service was excellent and prices were reasonable. Will definitely be back to try out other items on menu.

We rented a party room and the experience was not great. We paid for 1-5 pm and they started cleaning everything up at 4:20 when our guests were still there. They shut off our music and was lowering our music throughout the entire party. At 4:40 the manager Bridget was extremely rude and she came in and said “Can we wrap this up, I have another party starting after this” Why book another party then when we paid until 5pm. We marked every guest as they arrived and ended up with a total of 54 adults. She was very passive aggressive and condescending in her tone when she insisted that her and her entire staff counted 58 adults eating. We explained that couldn’t be possible because we only had 59 guests on our list and 4 of them didn’t show. She also said she served 3 kids plates, however we had 4 kids on our list but only 3 attended. When she agreed to charge us for the 54 adults instead of the 58, she then added a 4th kid who wasn’t there. When I tried to clarify why she added another kid she snatched a paper I was showing her out of my hand 3 times and immediately became argumentative. Then she dismissed me and walked over to my mom to begin arguing with her. The next day my sister attended a party for another event and they had a live rock band that they didn’t seem concerned with the noise level, it was much louder than our music that they kept lowering and eventually shut off, they kept the food out and allowed guest to pack home food, meanwhile ours was packed up before our guests could even grab seconds and one paid guest didn’t even get to eat because it was already gone. Same with the the cake. Very rushed for some reason. I believe she was being racist because we were all hispanic. I’m so upset with her behavior.

Great accommodations and customer service. Variety of food choices and extremely accommodating. Have had many large dinner parties and attended some also. All in all always a great experience

The place was nice. The food was delicious. We had the crab cakes, veggie spring rolls, fried calamari, spinach and artichoke dip and buffalo wings for appetizers and they were all delicious. I had the Tidbits (medium rare) and wow! So good! Had to save some for my husband. The service was on point. Our waitress made sure we were all good, their was a lot of us too.

Delicious food. I've had many parties there and Bridget the manager always makes sure everything is perfect. I haven't had a bad meal there yet. I love the steak tidbits sandwich.

The ambiance was very friendly and open. They provided my family a large space and intimate area to enjoy our dinner together. It was clean and open for the child to run around. It was also far away from the noise from the bar area. The waitress was quite friendly and willing help us with the birthday cake. She also efficiently got all of our orders out at a timely manner and help us with any misunderstanding Overall it was good but the food was just okay. The appetizers that we got were good and portion size was good for a family size of 12. The entrees were lacking a bit as the Jumbo Shrimp scampi wasn't up to par. It didn't taste like the usual shrimp scampi and it had a weird aftertaste (don't recommend). The steak was well seasoned but slightly overcooked for a medium rare. The best entree was the Grand Avenue Pasta. I would definitely recommend that. Restaurant is great for large gathering and homey food if you like that and looking for that.

I went for a quick lunch today with my mom. I had the Cajun shrimp appetizer. It was four pieces of shrimp. They were tasty with a corn salsa. I ordered the Jameson chicken for my meal. That was really delicious. I had moved out of the neighborhood and I wanted to come back and try their food again. I'm glad I did. I am disabled and the men's room was extremely tight for my scooter. They need better handicap accessible facilities. THATS A MUST! And that's why I gave 3 stars. The food, service and restaurant were great...worthy of 4+ stars. I would definitely recommend this restaurant

Not only a great restaurant with classics like Shepherds Pie and Jameson Chicken but also delicious cocktails at the bar. The staff and owner are always ready to please and are active in the community. Check them out for your party needs also, they have great spaces including a private out door courtyard.

Hidden gem in Maspeth, great food and drink topped off with excellent service!! I'm always craving for Irish fare, the chef here is wonderful. The burger and sweet potato fries are a no-brainer, as is the beef stew. Carol takes good care of us each time while Gabby and Julie keeps the Jameson Gingers flowing. Redbreast whiskey is a treat. Bridget helped us book an event with buffet, the food and service is truly exceptional!! Favorites include Seafood Pasta, Pernil, Lasagna and Jameson Chicken with a side of rice and vegetables. We have thus enjoyed each visit and will keep coming back for more!

Trying to give local places in areas i'm working a bit o business. Sadly they gave me terrible fries(from frost bite, to being under fried. Terrible beets(took a beet and quartered it?) Why did i pay for this?. As. vegan this was ALL i could order. I was desperate however.

First time here and I enjoyed it. Good customer service. I was told their chicken quesadillas were good and they were! Their spring rolls and fried calamari were great!

I love coming to Connollys! I usually get the chicken marsala and my bf gets the bbq ribs, everything is so delicious. Their appetizers are great too, the calamari comes with a great sauce and the spinach artichoke is delicious.

I think if you are a regular they take better care of you. The parties I've been to there are very good though When we go to eat it's subpar, service eh As I said only if you are known -which is not very nice Think they spread the waitstaff too thin Our food came and nobody came to check on us, soda was flat we told them right away and kind a forgot about us I had a check in offer on my yelp account for a free glass of wine or draft beer, the waitress said she never saw before and that was fine but she asked if she could take my phone to show bartender , I said sure, she came back to tell me the bartender said that was before Covid ? We'll I don't know why it just showed up now I wasn't gonna argue for a few bucks but they probably would have honored it if I was a regular, the excuse for not was -the Manager wasn't in ( I know she would have honored it ) I also know things would have been run better if she was there. Come on that is such BS ! Think I'll go to the many other restaurants next time, they don't need us they have a lot of regulars Still have my check in offer on yelp page

Was here for a private party in the back. Great room! Nice size. Good bar food. Large screen TV in the back room to watch sports. Bathrooms were close and very clean. Can get to the main bar thru this little internal alleyway. Staff was very professional and friendly. Only issue was there was a LIVE band that night and they play with the speakers right next to the private room. Other than that, I was happy with the place.

We had our baby shower here back in February and it was a great experience all around. Bridget the manager helped us go over different options for the menu and rooms available and all of her recommendations were on point (especially the pernil). We booked the corner room with the windows facing the street and it was a very nice space. There's also a new-ish indoor (covered and heated) patio area that was quite airy and nice but we went with the room based on the number of guests. A bunch of people canceled the day of and Bridget was very accommodating with making last minute adjustments and charging us accordingly. A lot of people mentioned how good the food was, especially the pernil and seafood pasta. Thank you Bridget and Connolly's!

Food is very good. The pot roast is melt in your mouth delicious. The calamari is also a favorite. The service is fantastic. Never had a bad experience here. Their catering and party rooms accommodate various size parties.

Pretty much your run-of-the-mill Irish bar and restaurant in Maspeth. We came here tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had a pretty big table and sat in the backyard. Our waiter, Diego, was great. We were taken care of promptly and with friendly service. We ordered a bunch of apps including the fried calamari, spring rolls, and garlic mushrooms. Everything was good and came out hot. I ordered the buffalo mild wings and they didn't disappoint. My friends enjoyed their burgers, salads, and tidbits (which looked delicious). We topped off with some international coffees which aren't for the faint-of-heart. You won't know if you are buzzed from the caffeine or alcohol. TLDR: solid place.

Updating my review since I've been here a few times again now that the city has finally finished working on the streets in this area. The food is still excellent and definitely the best pub of the many in the area. Highly recommend the Shepherds Pie and pot roast with mashed potatoes and carrots and parsnips. All home baked desserts and all exceptionally good. Nice clean comfortable place with A+ service (thank you Gaby!) Very glad be eating here again.

COVID precautions were taken: temperature check and keeping things clean. Seats and tables were wiped down before seating us. The black angus burger was yummy and juicy. The meat was fresh. The meat patty was pretty thick. I chose mozzarella cheese and sweet potato fries. The fries were not dry. I liked the dipping sauce. I don't know what it was but it tasted like it had maple syrup in it. It was good for the burger or fries. The chicken quesadilla was also good. Guacamole was fresh. The salsa was a too spicy for me. (I don't eat spicy.) Servers were quick. And always cleaning. Definitely worth coming back again.

I have never had a bad meal at Connolly's. From breakfast to a late dinner, it's all good. There is an outdoor patio which can be enjoyed in warmer months and the staff is warm and friendly. They don't skimp on the booze in the drinks, either! I like this place so much I had my wedding reception there and all thee guests were impressed with the quality of the food. Between the pandemic and the ongoing sewer project, the place has been going through some rough times, so please consider having a night out there.

This is my second time coming here first for a baby shower and second for a birthday party. The catering service and food was amazing both times. The place is super huge, having maybe 3 entrances with like 4 different rooms for private parties, one room includes a hangout sports bar. Although it's a big place everyone has to use just two men/women restrooms. They should consider putting a bathroom stall in each party room. The room where the birthday party was being held looked nicely put together, they had great seats, nice white tablecloths and good glass cups and silverware, the servants/waiters were very attentive, orderly and clean. I liked that they had the food in steel chafers instead of the aluminum one. What I loved most was the food, everything was delicious the stuffed eggplant, the pasta even the salad with my favorite balsamic vinegar. Im glad my friend was able to book this place for her daughters first birthday.

Sabrina F.

Jameson Chicken is a must! Pass on the shrimp appetizer - shrimp are good but that sauce leaves something to be desired. Love the entrees here, they are huge and delicious. Most recently went to do a party for my babies first birthday and Bridget was extremely accommodating. We booked the place and the day before we found out we had Covid so I had to cancel. Bridget put me at ease by refunding me the deposit and making sure that my well being was a priority. You have to honor businesses like that because a lot of the other vendors for my sons bday kept all the money even though they gave me no product. I can't wait to be back and consider this venue for future events.

Background story, We are originally from Ireland, lived in Maspeth for 24 years then moved to SC in 2013. After college our son moved back to NY in 2017 to work, where he met his sole mate. As far as we were concerned the only place for his and our daughter in law's rehearsal dinner was in Connolly's Corner on June 17th, 2022. I am writing this review because if you are in any doubt about having a party here you can rest assured that everything will be just perfect and I am a perfectionist!!! Now, keep in mind I organized this mostly from SC with the help of the manager Bridget Criscuolo with a few quick visits up to NY, which I do anyway. Nothing and I mean nothing I asked for or suggested was a problem for Bridget, she even matched the napkins to the wedding colors. In actual fact she told me to stop stressing that, that's what she was there for!!! So a BIG thank you Bridget for putting up with me and for truly delivering on all you promised. We all had a wonderful time and guests are still talking about it!

Thoroughly impressed with the consistency of this establishment heading into 2022 & beyond. A trip to Connolly's continues to remain a highly memorable and enjoyable one. Bar is well maintained, bartenders are friendly (and have great taste as well - being freshly 21 and clueless means I need all the help I can get), and the quesadillas exceeded expectations. Definitely coming back to catch a Mets game.

My family arrived for dinner. We ordered two plates of pot roast (three thin slices of pot roast in a puddle of gravy), two plates of stuffed chicken breast (stuffed breast with the bone included) and one order of stuffed jumbo shrimp. The shrimp dish was five shrimp with a round clump of bread stuffing sitting on top of each shrimp. Nothing was stuffed. No bread was brought to the table, even after we asked. We ordered three glasses of Coca Cola and one glass of Zinfandel. The total bill including tip was $225. Never, ever again. So disappointed. We were there for brunch twice before and we thought the food was fantastic. Something has definitely changed for the worse.

Great atmosphere, tasty food, and excellent drinks. Steaks are some of the best in NYC. Portions are great. Prices are reasonable. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Shrimp is not the best but crab meat is delicious

Let me start off by saying my husbands family did a spectacular job planning and having my daughters baptism party here! The drinks, food, and service was absolutely on point! This is a five star restaurant for sure!

We've been coming to this neighborhood spot for some time now. My husband and I decided on this establishment for our church wedding dinner. Bridget, the Coordinator, was attentive throughout the whole process. It was seamless and no stress at all. Everything turned out absolutely perfect. The space was large and spacious enough where we could social distance ( life in the time of covid19). Diego, our server was superb the entire time. The food was delicious and the drinks were flowing the whole time. Just overall a great experience with this place. We were in what I call the red room because they have these beautiful red couches or seats. We highly recommend for any event.

This place was amazing to host a "small" event. Did not disappoint especially for the price. The manager was super accommodating and their staff was always ready to help. Highly recommend just buying the cake here so you don't waste time picking it from another location. It taste amazing too!

On a Saturday night they have the AC ON AND OFF!! Not a good way to keep customers..

On Friday May 24th, I had my daughter's Confirmation at Connolly's Corner. Bridget was my memory maker. She was on top of everything from start to finish & made the celebration a memorable one. She is extremely professional, so sweet & personalable.Simply the best person for her line of work, extremely swet & easy going. I'm grateful that she made sure that any left over food & cake was ready & packed to go at the end of the night. The bakery the restaurant uses made a delicious strawberry short cake, that was moist & the best part is that it was NOT overly sweet! The food was yummy & the vegetables were nicely cut uniformly. The nachos were so yummy, The chicken tenders were nice & crunchy & the french fries delicious (lol.. Could've eaten the whole plate of the french fries myself). Simply had a wonderful & delightful experience at Connolly's Corner all thanks to Bridget!!!! If you're looking for a place to celebrate any event, I highly recommend it. Thank You, Donna

Great food, like super great, nice bartenders. Heavy pours, lot of TV's. NFL Sunday can get super crowded and the tv management can be frustrating-they have the ticket but Giants will be on six TV's next to each other. Other than the tv mismanagement still a cool place to catch games. Their food specials aren't so great and a bit priced, but the quality is high. Also during busy times the wait for the food can be a while and they have confused my order a couple times. Ex: ordered chili nachos (on the menu) and I got a bowl of chili with a side of chips.

Had an event at Connolly's Corner this past weekend and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. The food was excellent, the servers were wonderful, but the very best service came from Bridget, who helped me plan, coordinate, and saw that every detail of the evening went smoothly. I would without question recommend Connolly's Corner if you are planning a party, or even just for lunch or dinner. They were just terrific!!!

We were here for a private party. The staff here was great, food was great! The men had their own area they can watch the games without bothering us! Love the atmosphere here! Will be back again for sure!

I've been to Connolly's many times over the years, both as a dinner customer and guest of parties and it just keeps getting better and better. This past September, I helped plan a surprise party there for my brother and the staff could not have been any more helpful. The hostess Bridgette, went above and beyond, meeting me a few times before the event to help me prepare a slide show we were presenting. We did run thru after run thru to get it just right and my brother was blown away. The food was amazing and I am writing this review only now because I just confirmed my order for my Christmas Eve party tomorrow and realized I had never shared my fabulous past experience. Thanks Connolly's, for being a true neighborhood friend and always making us feel like family!

I went there on Football Sunday! Yes there are Televisions everywhere which is great! There was a nice crowd, the booths are so comfortable. They sat us right away and gave us menus. They had a great deal of 5 beers and wings for $10. Awesome right? I know!! There brunch was delicious I had the steak and eggs with French fries. There drinks are not bad I had some mimosas and sex on the beach. The waitress was very attentive and would check on us frequently. I will def come back! Gathering with the guys or girls or pre game this is def a possible place!

After a recent ceremony for a family member at the Mount Olivet Cemetery close by we had a family and friends luncheon at Connolly's. It's basically a combination sports bar and restaurant. Plenty of seating around the main room bar area, and another room to the side with booths and a dining area for larger groups such as we had. Even a room for parties and events. Plenty of flat screens all around the bar. A bright and airy outdoor patio area. If living in Maspeth this seems like a destination bar to head to on weekends to watch a game or for Sunday football. Kind of an older crowd congregates here from what I gather judging by the clientele hanging by the bar watching ESPN. Not much elsewheres to go in Maspeth anyway. I wasn't too hungry and decided to just have a salad. Ordered the Left Coast Salad - mixed greens, apples, raisins, candied pecans, sun-dried cranberries, goat cheese, and roasted shallot vinaigrette with some added grilled chicken on top. Just perfect for the mood I was in. Simple, tasty, and not too filling with a good mix of nuts and fruits. A few of us also had the fish and chips and they said it was delicious. The warm soda bread basket placed on the table was a treat. Overall, the place is clean with a friendly vibe and decor. Good food and reasonable prices. Decent beer selection. Really nice service too.

I was given a gift card to Connollys, and decided to put it to use last night. K and I wanted to go for a drink and food, so this seemed like the perfect new spot to try. It was a Monday night and the homerun derby was on so we figured it would be packed but luckily it wasn't at all. There were maybe only about 6-7 other people there, so we had our choice of seats. We sat at the bar and the bartender came over right away to offer us food menus and asked us what we wanted to drink. The food menu had a lot of yummy options to pick from which was nice to have in a bar setting. We were both starving, so we decided to go with the beef nachos, potato croquettes, and pulled pork sliders. The food came out in just about ten minutes, if not less...who doesn't love quick food?! The first thing I dug into were the potato croquettes and they were so good! Reminded me of a recipe my grandmother makes..def could have eaten about 10 of these...if they came with a side of gravy I think I would have enjoyed them even more!! On to the nachos...definitely one of the best nachos I've had! Everything was evenly distributed and there were just enough chips to go with the toppings. I hate when there are a ton of chips but not enough toppings. Onto the pulled pork...these were good, but nothing special. As a whole, I definitely enjoyed everything here and would definitely come back to try some different menu items. For 3 beers, the nachos, pulled pork sliders, and croquettes, our bill was $48...not bad at all.

It is funny how life works sometimes the most unexpected place turns out to be the very best! After a grueling search for a restaurant/venue to hold my baby shower I was extremely excited when my sister pointed out Connolly's Corner, an Irish pub with a great event space. It was very close to my new apartment in Jackson Heights which is a crucial point to remember when picking a place for a shower due to the insane amount of presents which most expecting parents-to-be are blessed with. I left an online inquiry for management and was happy to receive a call back that same evening. Unfortunately, I missed the call but called the next day and spoke to Bridgette who is the event coordinator. When she told me all that the buffet package included - unlimited soda, coffee, and tea, four entrees, bread, salad, and potatoes or rice for 29.95 a person I was SOLD. I had reached out to other restaurant/venues in the area and none had even come close. Also, her very sweet and pleasant demeanor already made me believe that "my event would be awesome" and the food would be "incredible"! Bridgette also stated that a wishing well and baby shower chair would be included in the package. I went to see the event space hoping it would fit my large extended family and I was very happy to see how perfect the space was and that it had the classy rustic feel I was looking for. Even trying to limit the amount of men by final count was 67 people. I was glad I was able to pay only for 60 in advance and then pay for the extra people after the event. I ended up overpaying 1200 dollars at my wedding and didnt want that nightmare to happen again. I also liked that the tax and tip were included in the total amount so that I wouldn't have to wrack my brain trying to figure it out on the day of. Bridgette allowed my sister in law who was my event planner to set up as early as 10:30AM for our event that did not start until 2PM. The way my sister in law made the room look people thought I spent tens of thousands of dollars on the space. Bridgette was absolutely right that the food was AWESOME. Unfortunately, I arrived fashionably late due to some extreme hair, nails, and make up regime that took longer than expected... and I kind of ate in a mad rush to fully attend to my guests but what I did try was insanely delicious- I had the mixed greens salad, the pernil, which I was very happy to see was done just like my Latin family likes it crispy yet juicy which included a spicy cilantro aoili that complemented it PERFECTLY! I also had the penne a la vodka, roasted and seasoned potatoes and the chicken francese. Everything was truly yum I missed out on the eggplant rolatini I had also included in the menu that I heard was amazing. In any case the food is replenished so that people can keep eating for about an hour or so after it is served. Make sure to to tell your guests if they arrive later than this time they will miss out on the food... of course I have some people that arrived at the last hour that missed out. Also, you can bring in your own desserts. My sister in law works for a restaurant (Penelope) that made cookies, cupcakes, and muffins that all went with themed story books. Also, we had a gender reveal cake made by Sweet Occasions bakery that was so good not a single bite was left. The service was beyond my expectations! ALL guests went home happy which is one of the most difficult things to attain at any event. I cannot begin to thank Bridgette and the staff more for their attentive, caring, thoughtful, and phenomenal customer service that left a smile on everyone including this very tired very grateful did I mention tired... momma to be. I will definitely be back whether just for a regular bar bite or for another event... perhaps a very small intimate dinner/lunch for the baby's Christening... I will also make sure to refer so many others to Connolly's!

My hometown favorite restaurant! Best food across the board :) Had my sons Doctorate graduation here in June 2017 and it was perfect! From the planning with Bridget with complete focus on our needs accommodating us along the whole way! Bridget is the best Banquet manager ever!! My guests were thrilled! The food was amazing the service impeccable! Celebrating my sons triumph was most important to me and sharing this special milestone in our hometown of Maspeth was the greatest! Thank you to Bridget and her wonderful staff! See you next week for dinner :))

We had my granddaughters's 1st birthday party at Connolly's. Everything from start to finish was great. Bridget was awesome. She was always available to answer all of our questions and made sure things were perfect. All of the staff were pleasant and their service was outstanding . Thank you to everyone at Connolly's for making her party such a success.

Good food, I ordered the club sandwich and it was perfectly done. The sweet potato fries are very good & came with a maple dip. When the check came there was a big surprise that my group was charged for every soda and iced tea refill. So beware! It can really jack up the total of your bill! I haven't seen that happen in years!
