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. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Connolly’s Corner - Sports Bars Near Me - Maspeth, New York

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! read more

Love the shepherds pie here. The other food is good too. Decent size portions. The place is also clean which is a plus. Good service.

Very good food with delightful service. Had an amazing food experience with pasta and steak dishes. Will come again to experience the backyard garden. read more

Connolly’s Corner - Menu special, calamari with shrimp seafood sauce - Sports Bars Near Me - Maspeth, New York

See all

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!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 :)) read more

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! read more

I came here with my extended family last weekend and had a very good meal. The fish and chips (made with cod) was delicious and piping hot. The only problem I had was with the drinks. I ordered an Old fashioned and unfortunately they are one of the places that pours soda water in it and dilute out the whiskey. I sent my drink back and asked for a straight Maker's Mark. She asked me if i wanted it "Neat" (i.e. no ice) and i said "yes." It came back to me as a whiskey with a load of ice chips in it. I gave up at that point and just drank the whiskey. I would come back for the food but not to have a drink. read more

I only went to Connollys to catch a Jets game bc my beloved O'Neils is gone. For what it is (bar with TV's) it serves its purpose. Positives: clean, decent prices, a lot of TV's, outdoor garden, nice decor Negatives: forgetful wait staff, terrible food, just generally un freindly atmosphere I have been here for dinner and for a shower and the food is terrible!!! read more

Good afternoon, My mom's funeral was on 9/10/14 at Calvary Cemetery and I wanted to have a celebration of her life close to the cemetery. I live in Brooklyn and don't know that part of Queens at all, and was just googling places near the cemetery, and making phone calls. Whoever I spoke to on the phone sold me on Connolly's Corner when she said there was parking across the street! Anyway, it wasn't a big crowd - just around 20 people. But your service was excellent, the food was delicious and the staff was attentive without being intrusive on our intimate gathering. I was happy it was the kind of semi-private room where my family and friends could gather around and share stories about my mother (Bridie Schmitt, nee "Farrell") and not bother anyone else in the restaurant. Thank you for providing the environment to make the celebration of her life perfect. I'll definitely come back to your restaurant. My boyfriend said your ribs were out of this world!! And your beer selection was pretty good, as well. Thanks again. Tara Schmitt read more

I had the pleasure of attending an Irish friend's family gathering last night at Connolly's Corner and enjoyed the experience so much that it compelled me to write my very first restaurant review! First, there were actual parking places set aside for restaurant patrons! Secondly, the ambience was VERY Irish, which means friendly, lively, and fun. Third: EXCEPTIONAL service- servers were attentive and responsive, brought drinks within minutes. Perhaps most important: the food was absolutely sublime!! We had Shepherd's Pie that was the best I've ever had, even in Ireland where they are experts. The other dishes were Irish style chicken curry, which was so tasty and tender you could cut it with a spoon, penne alla vodka (also wonderful), and a surprise winner, herb-encrusted salmon. By the time I got to the salmon, I was stuffed but couldn't resist it and managed to polish it all off. They also had a beautiful salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette and some lovely mixed veg, but I couldn't afford to waste space on my plate for non-main dishes and that was definitely the right decision. Finally, they had birthday cake, both chocolate and vanilla, which was delicious. The proprietor, Mr. Connolly, was in attendance and he was charming and delightful, too. Thank you, Connolly's Corner, I will make the trek from Manhattan to dine with you as often as I can! read more

We had a private wedding party here. I give this place a mixed review. It's not bad but it's nothing great either. The people working the rooms obviously don't want to be here as they were all rather unhelpful and standoff-ish. I guess it just sucks to work while watching everyone else have fun. But they should try to have a more positive attitude toward the guests and each other. The manager here was kind of trite and wasn't particularly friendly either. However the food was pretty good and they had lots of wine and beer, although nothing fancy in the beer department. read more

My fav neighborhood bar...GREAT food- the ribs are out of this world, and the drinks r fine too- the bartenders are irish(as expected) and sometimes talk too fast for me hehe, but very friendly non the less. They have introduced me to my fav drink- the thunderstorm, i m still a fan. overall great place, very relaxed and casual and the food is great for a bar. a must if you are in the area. read more

Came in for Easter dinner with the family and it was great! I was a little tentative because holiday food from limited menus can be dry and overpriced, but we all loved our food. I had the pot roast with the roasted carrots and parsnips and it was amazing!! The staff was so nice, from the hostess to the manager, Bridget, who graciously took a few photos for our album. Great cocktails at a reasonable price, too! read more

Had our Brunch Baby Shower here on November 3rd 2018. We had an amazing time. The manager Bridget along with the staff was very accommodating and pleasant to us and everyone who came to celebrate with us. I honestly have no complaints with our party. I would highly recommend this place for events. Thank you Bridget for everything. It was our pleasure to have our Baby Shower with you. read more

After some beautiful renovations, Connolly's Corner has become a really great place to spend a night with friends. The bar is nice and big, with plenty of room to park it and chill. The outdoor garden is an unexpected lil' treat, which is the place to go for 'movies on the bricks' on summer Monday's. The restaurant is getting better. Typical irish-American fare (burgers, fish and chips) with a few surprised (nice fish dishes and such). The desserts are nothing special, however. A bummer for a sweets lover like me. read more

Bridget and her staff are amazing!!! They made everything so easy for us. My daughters graduation was a complete success. The food was great! The atmosphere was perfect! The room was so clean, great air system, the icing on the cake was the slide show!!! Prices are amazing as well! read more

I would give like a 3.5+ in the world of sports bar pubs, it was pretty good. Up this way for a conference and stumbled upon Connolly's Corner. It's your normal local sports bar/pub and it was just what we needed. It was really chill sitting at the bar, and we hit it on Wine down Wednesdays...which is 1/2 priced bottles of wine, BAM! Norman bar tender was funny and really nice and gave us great service. The other patrons in the bar were also very friendly and nice, which you don't always find. The food was standard bar food, my friends salad came out huge and actually looking amazing! I got the mussels, fries, and coleslaw and the mussels were delicious!! The fries and coleslaw were ok but not bad. read more

I ordered the chicken sandwich and sweet potato Fry's. The chicken was fantastic and well cooked. The spices on the chicken was like a party in my mouth. My hotel had an add for Connolly's Corner, mentioning Monday's are $.25 wing night. When I got there, I found out my hotels add was really-really old. (Hotel's fault for not updating.) Dinner was a bit pricey, but then again - I'm in New York. Everything is expensive here. ;-) Tip: I did not realize this when parking, but there is a private parking lot across the street. It looks like a foreclosed auto garage, but is really Connolly's parking. read more

They have great food, good service and a friendly staff. The restaurant area is completely sound proof from the bar which has 6+ televisions with various types of sports playing at any given time. I always have a great experience when I go wether it's busy or slow. They have really good fish and chips. I personally love their fried calamari because it's seasoned and comes with chipotle/horseradish sauce. read more

We went on a Monday night specifically for the garden and the movie (monday nights). We were hungry, had a four year old (who apparently has one to many starbucks and is a night owl) and wanted to try it. Overall for the above criteria it worked. It's pub food, not great pub food, but okay. Husband had chix wings (but they were breaded, we don't like the breaded kind) and sweet spicy (we are spicy people, think atomic wings), followed by shepherd's pie (he said, too many peas). I had the traditional what women order Grilled chicken cesaer, kid had chix fingers for dessert we all split warm apples and ice cream. I really like the idea of a movie, but dont think you are going to hear it. Between the horrible sound system and the noisy central air thingy, you really can't hear... but the movie this time was Ocean's 13 and while the movie stunk, Brad and George (and Al) as dinner guests....priceless. check it out if your on Grand Avenue. read more

Food is awesome... great variety. Staff is super attentive and friendly. I have been coming here for at least 10 years, have had 2 baby showers and other catered events here. Bridgette is the absolute best in helping arrange your private event. read more

Connolly’s Corner - Sports Bars Near Me - Maspeth, New York

I'm a frequent guest at Connollys. I love the bar but this week's visit was disappointing. I ordered the stead tidbits and I was quite disappointed. The wedges were undercooked and the steak was just ok. Then I tried using their yelp check in to get free drink and the waitress told me they don't accept them. In my mind, why offer it on yelp? Overall its an average bar in Maspeth and a good place to catch up with friends! read more

My family and I had a big celebration of life party for my grandmother this week and we had about 60 ppl. We were treated great and the staff was amazing. They were so kind and helpful. The bartender was not only beautiful but very friendly. She was very quick and efficient as well. The bar has a great layout and a nice outside lounge area. For smokers this is great, even though I'm not one. The prices were good and they have a pretty good draught beer selection. I'm a big fan of the Queens Lager. I'm from Florida so I love to try local beers and this one did to disappoint. Great bar! The food was great, we had a buffet with salad, veggies, potatoes, shepherds pie, chicken, and Veal Parmesan. Nothing disappointed us. Parking is free across the street, but they only have a 8 spots. read more

I give them only 4 stars because I came here with a large group and didn't get the full on experience that I would have gotten had I come here with a smaller group. Came here on Saturday for a birthday dinner and was very pleased. I hadn't even known this place existed, but I would most definitely come back. My boyfriend and I ordered the Kung Pao Thai Calamari, super tasty! I'm a huge fan of sweet chili sauce with calamari and that is exactly what we got. Would highly reccommend. My guy ordered the Fish and Chips, which were really yummy and the plate was a very generous size. I ordered the stuffed shrimp which I was very happy about. It was a good portion and very tasty. The server was very friendly, and PATIENT. Our group was there for 3 hours and he was super nice. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I would coem back. Just be forwarned that if you have a bday here and bring your own cake, the charge is $1 per plate (person). read more

WARNING. Do NOT book any party with this place or the manager. The manager does not honor the contract and adds additional charges without notifying the customer. She was nasty and rude and blames the customer for her own mistake. We made a contract for a party with the manager and was guarantee buffet style food, replenishment, and take home leftovers. She agreed to not charge children that will share a plate with their parents. Unfortunately that was a lie. On the day of the party, the manager charge us for the children she agreed to not charge. She said the children had their own plate and that she had to refill the buffet food because they ate. When I brought up the original agreement, she began yelling and accusing us of cheating her. Then she said she had to also charge us because we took leftovers. If she told me earlier that she had to charge us for refills and take out then I would have obliged. But tacking on the charge last minute and being nasty about it is not customer friendly. Whatever happened to customer first. I disapprove of the manager behavior and will not recommend or return. I hope the manager learns that pinching for pennies over customer service is poor for business. We had a party at 7pm and the food was not ready until 8pm. They were understaffed. One server and one waiter for a large party. Dishonest and rude manager. I have a feeling some of these reviews are fakes. Book at your own discretion. read more

Waitress was awesome.... where she saved these 2 starts but that's about it. I ordered salmon and my husband ordered fish & chips. Plates were very pretty and decent so we were excited (plus- price is not super cheap...I believe Salmon was around $25?) Bot of us got serious stomachache when we came home.. I see alot of amazing reviews... maybe it was just us. I don't know. But we have absolutely no plan to go back.... ugh. We were so excited that we though we finally found decent restaurant for date nights (we are newly weds)! Oh well.... Maspeth, please help me... haha It was worst $75 meal I ever spent... read more
