McHale's Bar & Grill • 1943

This Theater District Irish pub serves award-winning Bloody Marys and hearty comfort food just steps from Broadway theaters. Since opening in 2012, it has earned recognition as one of OpenTable's best Irish bars and The Daily Mail's best soccer bar, drawing pre-show diners and Soccer Republic fans to its two floors. The Guinness-braised beef stew and buffalo chicken mac and cheese anchor a menu built for theatergoers who need sustenance before the curtain rises.
