Connolly’s Corner

I tried this place a few years ago and if I used Unilocal at the time would have zero stars. After talking to a neighbor decided to give it another shot. I must say the food has improved by a large amount. The wings are fantastic. The burgers are cooked just as ordered and are nice and jucy. The fish and chips are fresh and nice and crispy with out being greasy. I have also tried the ribs and while moist and meaty their sauce just doesn’t do it for me. Service is good but not exceptional and they could add a few more craft beers to the list.

Service was great and the food is even better! Love the outside seating area. This is a great spot and we can’t wait to go back!

Food was delicious. The potato croquettes are out of this world. Highly recommend them. The waitress was very friendly

Whenever were in the mood for a great steak and burger with a glass or two of wine and or other spirits we head on over to Connolly’s where they have a very laid-​back dining vibe and a very boisterous, outgoing and upbeat Sports-​bar crowd in which the volume’s can get to be a bit much for those of us only interested in wining & dining. Now we don’t ever actually sit at the bar because this just isn’t my thing here we always get a seat at the dining booths but more preferable seating is in the newly renovated section of Connolly’s which has a lot more privacy and comfortable hearing and speaking volumes where both you and your company can better enjoy your dining experience. That all having been said we had a bit of a wait by about 15 to 20 minutes on this last visit here which wasn’t to bad but worth waiting for a seat on the other side I might add plus the manager Bridgette was hands on with all of the dining guests including both my friend and I this evening every step of the way from seating, to dining and departing that’s something you don’t see quite often. We found this made for an even better dining experience with smiling managers like Bridgette making you feel like your right at home to waitresses who are also friendly and knowledgeable about the current menu for the day with recommendations depending on your taste, we only had Steak on our mind’s this day so that was easy but I thought this was worth noting.
So we started out with our free Unilocal check in drinks, a glass of Vino and a nice cold bottle of Blue Moon Brew for my friend — Thank You!
Appetizers
* Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Nachos — Yummy, this was so, so good and nicely portion sized for sharing and caring.
* Potato Croquettes — Piping hot with small bites of Ham pieces throughout — very tasty.
Chow Down time — we both ordered the same dinner and on this night the special that caught our eye and had us salivating was the 24oz Cowboy Steak that came with a side of spinach and garlic Mash potatoes and a small side of veggies, ordered medium well so as to not dry out the steak. The steak was cooked perfectly, nicely seasoned, juicy and big enough that I had to take part of the steak home to devour at a later time.
Parking over here can be a bit hard to find during the evening even though Connolly’s offers free parking for their customers across the street, its a small space and not monitored, so people tend to park haphazardly and block you in, I would suggest parking on the neighboring streets if you don’t want to deal with parking woes when its time for you to go.
Great place for everyone, people who want great food at fair prices and guys and gals who wants the Sports bar vibe life can have it all right here at Connolly’s.
Another favorite place to add into to my neighboring rotations for Queens.

Monday night Very quiet. The worst bartender I ever met in my life. No atmosphere. 9 people at bar. Maybe 3 people know him. But he had absolutely no personality. Won’t be back here ever again. Most depressing place ever. Wont be back there ever.

we threw my cousin a bridal shower here & everything came out amazing. The food here & service was great

Awesome service. Real authentic dining. Food was delicious had French onion soup and chicken francese. Wife had grilled chicken and mushroom salad she loved it. Kids had chicken pot pie they also loved there meal. Definitely a place to eat and if your Irish you’ll love it even more.

Had an 80^th birthday party here today and the experience was great from start to finish. The process was very easy as they showed great flexibility in regards to our needs. Bridget, the manager, was outstanding during the planning process and was present on the day of the event to make sure all went well. Wait staff was very attentive and the bartenders are the best in the business. Would definitely use the establishment in the future for my party needs. Thank You!

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!

Connolly’s is one of my go to places! They have great food & is an awesome neighborhood bar. I had an event in their party room & did not leave disappointed! Their party room is all window and can be seen from the outside, decorated very nicely. All of their menu’s are online and are informative. Their wait staff is very pleasant, the manager Bridgette really made the event planning go without a hitch! Great experience & definitely will return.

Paul and the rest of the staff are all awesome. What a great group of people.
Wings are awesome. Burgers are a hell of a deal plus very tasty. Great friendly environment

Their food is really great and the happy hour is amazing nice and cozy place I like the outdoor eatting place in the back which is great!!! U must try!

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 Unilocal check in to get free drink and the waitress told me they don’t accept them. In my mind, why offer it on Unilocal?
Overall its an average bar in Maspeth and a good place to catch up with friends!

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!

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!

Very reliable, accommodating and delicious food. Although very crowded they were attentive and are consistently a good choice for a nice meal.

This place has been a nice bar ever since it opened so I choose it to have my daughters baptism party. I was very impressed at everything from the food, the staff and the large room to hold such an event. Everything was perfect! I’m so glad my wife and I choose this place for this event. I had no complaints about anything at this place

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 ½ 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.

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 décor. Good food and reasonable prices. Decent beer selection. Really nice service too.

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.
