Fabled Midtown pub Langan’s finds new home after closing in 2018

Restaurants, pubs and clubs are opening all over town — such as Daily Provisions from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, which will bring more energy to 30 Rock’s Concourse dining area in the fall.

But the big news on booming West 47th Street is the return later this year of Langan’s, the fabled Irish bar and eatery that closed in January 2018.

Des O’Brien’s Pig ‘N’ Whistle Group plans to launch the new Langan’s at the Durst Organization’s 114 W. 47th St., a half-block east of the original. The long-vacant space has about 4,000 square feet.

O’Brien said it will be a “contemporary” second coming with a “slight Victorian/Industrial/traditional look” under a 24-foot-high ceiling.

A chef he wouldn’t identify will design a modern “American-Med-Continental fused menu” which he promised will be “better than standard pub fare.”

The original Langan’s for 25 years drew all kinds, from Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin to Sen. John McCain, Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten and legions of journalists and media types.

The old Langan’s space at 150 W. 47th, surrounded by three new hotels and the relocated Palace Theater, remains dark.
