History
Playwrights on the sign, UFC on the screens
The Playwright Tavern on Eighth Avenue goes by Playwright Celtic Pub now, at the same address1, 2. A Times Square gift-card directory hasn't caught up: it still lists the Playwright Tavern there3. It serves Irish-American pub food in the Theatre District, and its main floor alone has nine high-definition TVs for boxing, UFC, European soccer and American sports2, 4.
