    Loved the ambiance! Swanky square bar in the middle of the room! Great outdoor views and terrace space. Good for a semi private event. Overall great for small or large groups. Service was great, timely, attentive and polite server, Cody. Yummy drinks! Didn't have food, as it was late night drinks. Same night resv for a table so it was a bit of a wait, but worth it. I'd like to go on a summer night soon. Overall; recommended drink spot. Will go again.

    I have been trying to come here for a few months but never made it until finally last weekend, we met some friends visiting from out of town here and I'm so glad we went. We had an amazing time! We sat in the lounge area out some doors from the bar, but not "outside" outside. We had a nice view of 54th and Broadway and the giant electronic billboard across the street made me feel like I was in "Blade Runner". Service was top notch from the time we walked in downstairs until we left. Just a super professional and extremely competent staff. Every person was on point. Our food and drinks came out in a timely manner all night. The cocktails and food were also good. I had the Deacon Blues and it's definitely one of my favorite drinks now. I also loved the pastrami, the hummus, the buffalo cauliflower and especially the sliders. Additionally, the place is gorgeous. I love the design and the comfort of the entire place. Definitely recommend coming here. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just hang out with people you like!

    We've been trying to get a reservation at Dear Irving on Broadway for a while, and it was totally worth the wait! The location is great and easy to get to. We sat both inside and outside -- both areas have their own charm. We came with friends visiting from out of town, and everything started off perfectly. I had some non-alcoholic drinks that were actually amazing (which isn't always the case at bars!). After our friends left, we decided to stay longer for some bites, and the food did not disappoint. The pastrami, hummus, buffalo cauliflower, and sliders were all excellent. The service was on another level -- every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and just really professional. Our food and drinks came out smoothly the whole night, and everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. The place itself is beautiful -- stylish but still cozy and comfortable. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. Highly recommend for a date night, a celebration, or just catching up with friends. Can't wait to go back!

    This was my first time at this location but I've been to the other two locations. In terms of ambience and cocktails this was on par with the other locations. The outdoor space is lovely and the elevator situation is much better than the one at the 42nd street spot where you may have to wait 10-15 minutes for the elevator up or down. The service was okay but our server seemed over extended. We were trying to get his attention to get our check for a while but luckily the manager saw us and helped us himself. I still think the Irving Place location is my favorite but I would come back here again. It's great for a post theater cocktail or to take out of town guests for a lovely ambiance.

    This cocktail lounge is on the 5th floor of the courtyard Marriott. It's stunning. There's even some outdoor seating. I had a Gibbie Highball and it was refreshing. We shared a cheese plate which was great and had some nice crackers and jam served with it. My friend had the Muse drink which was very good. I would try that next time, Service was decent. The music blasting in the lounge makes it hard to get a servers attention when needed. We sat a while trying to get someone to give us the check. ADA accessible as you take an elevator up to the space. There are bathrooms near the entrance upstairs. Overall, cool cocktail lounge and would come back.

    The bar is beautiful with a very cozy atmosphere. The drinks are very good. However service is very slowww. We were the only party seated inside and it took at least 10-15 min for the waiter to take our order. The other staff were also not very friendly. The host at the entrance and the host after you exit the elevator were both very nonchalant. Mind you the place is empty.

    Beautiful addition to the Dear Irving family of bars / restaurants. It was so ornate and beautiful without feeling pretentious. The service was excellent, and the indoor outdoor area upstairs was really nice. Cocktails were solid too. Not much of a view, more of a vibe.

    Delicious cocktails, a great sophisticated vibe, and a great view of broadway. I will definitely return when back in NYC.

    Incredible views and great drinks. Rooftop bars are always a must for summer in New York!

    Dear Irving has multiple locations in NYC with Broadway being their newest; some friends had raved about how classy the place was and that they were throwing a New Year Eve celebration, having had drinks at the downtown location my boyfriend and I were excited to see how the evening would play out. The tickets were $195 dollars each, however, this included an open bar and appetizers (not a bad deal at all) we were concerned that the tickets would be over sold and we would not be able to get a drink at the bar, this was not the case... the evening was spectacular! We were able to get a table on the outer perimeter of the restaurant and the bar was easily accessible! The appetizers were very good (here is a quick list of what they served): - lobster rolls - smoked salmon bites - mushroom balls - vegetarian potstickers - deep fried goat cheese - pigs in a blanket - hamburger sliders There may have been more, but I lost track after all of that. The staff was very sweet and accommodating, no one seemed stressed out or overwhelmed considering how many people they had to attend to. I am very excited to come back to Dear Irving on Broadway during a regular day to have drinks. Thanks for a wonderful evening and kicking off 2025 in the best way possible!

    Very cute and aesthetically pleasing cocktail bar! Came here with a bachelorette party and we loved having drinks of the rooftop. Wide variety of cocktails to choose from in addition to the classics.

    I visited Dear Irving on Broadway recently, and overall the experience was mixed--especially compared to Dear Irving on Hudson, which I've consistently enjoyed more. First visit: The drinks were honestly quite watery, and the overall cocktail balance didn't feel as polished. One detail that really stood out was the ice quality: the cubes were not crystal clear, which usually signals lower density and faster dilution. In a cocktail bar at this level/price point, that matters a lot for both texture and flavor. After I left a review, the owner/management reached out with a thoughtful message and invited me back to give the venue another try (thank you for that). So I returned. Second visit (follow-up): There was an improvement with one drink: the Deacon Blues was served with a clear, dense large cube this time--exactly what I'd expect. It melts slower and doesn't water down the drink as quickly, which definitely helps. However, the Gibbie Highball still came with opaque small cubes instead of the clear long highball ice spear/stick that many good speakeasies use. The difference is huge: small cubes melt much faster and change the drink quickly. You can really see it in the glass--by the end of the drink, the small cubes had almost fully melted while the large cube was still mostly intact. (See my photos.) That faster dilution makes the highball feel thinner and less crisp. Taste / balance notes: * Deacon Blues: I'm someone who loves smoky flavors, but the smoke here came across with a spicy/peppery "heat" that didn't integrate smoothly with the bourbon. Instead of rounding out the whiskey, it slightly fought it, and the balance felt a bit sharp. * Gibbie Highball: The finish had a noticeable sugar-free soda bitterness--a strong artificial sweetener/zero-sugar aftertaste that really lingered and distracted from the overall profile. Overall: Both cocktails were mid-level for me--drinkable, but not memorable--and the ice/dilution choices (especially for the highball) are still holding the experience back. I appreciate the hospitality and the invitation to return, and I can see the potential, but I'm hoping Broadway can reach the same consistently polished standard as the Hudson location. (Photos attached for the ice comparison.)

    Ambiance and rose.

Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions. I went for the Strange Magic which was citrusy and refreshing. I'll definitely be back to visit again and hopefully next time will get the cheese board :)

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!
