Booth seating, buffalo chicken spring rolls, and espresso martinis carry a theater night from dinner to a late round.
🎭 Irish Bar Near the Belasco Theatre
The Dawson is a bi level Midtown Irish bar at 23 W 45th St, off 5th Avenue near the Belasco Theatre. The room feels sophisticated yet lived in, with comfortable booths and space for groups without much noise. A vast menu covers a quick afternoon snack or a full dinner, from buffalo chicken spring rolls to espresso martinis. The layout works for a sit down meal before a Broadway show or a round after the curtain. Happy hour runs Monday to Saturday from 2 PM to 7 PM, and Saturday adds bottomless brunch from 11 AM to 3 PM. Most nights close at 1 AM, with Sunday ending at midnight.
