About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Lively
We take reservations starting one week in advance of your desired date--seven days in advance, starting at 11 AM online and over the phone. And with Broadway's staggered start times, things get tricky, so if your desired time is unavailable online, please give us a call; we hold a certain number of tables for phone reservations only. For parties of six or more, please call the restaurant directly.

Because of staggered theater times we can only guarantee reservations made online for one-and-a-half hours for parties of two, and two hours for parties of three or more. Apologies, but we don't reserve tables "only for drinks."

For reservations after theater, please check your show's running time on our website.

Since 1965, Joe Allen has been a quintessential New York restaurant serving a classic American menu in the heart of the Theater District. Just two blocks from Times Square, it has been a favorite of Broadway performers, locals, and tourists for almost 50 years.

    Excellent and attentive service. Warm hosts. Food was delicious, prices were by today’s standards reasonable. And Joe Allen’s is Joe Allen’s, so it’s still a great place to be.

    What's not to love. We were at Joe Allen on a Tuesday evening before a show in NYC. Great place to be, the friendliest welcome and excellent, swift service, and a delicious meal. Terrific drinks! All that heaven allows
