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!

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.

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!

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!

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.)

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.

Ambiance and rose.

The rooftop bar is like an oasis! Romantic and the rose is good an a Sunday night. Not noisy and the music is in the background.

It felt like a true escape from the noise and rush of the city & created the perfect setting to unwind and have meaningful conversations in a high-vibration space. 10/10 highly recommend, it's now easily one of my favorite spots in the city

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. 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.

I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

One of my friends and I were looking to grab a drink before calling it a night. She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. 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.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. 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!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
