Friendly bartenders and awesome happy hour from 11am to 8pm daily. The perfect location to enjoy some drinks and snacks before a show. We savored our $7 glasses of wine and the Jane Doe salad with candied walnuts, cranberries, and balsamic dressing. The bar was decked out in decorative faux flowers which was perfect for spring. It seemed like a fun mix of tourists and locals here, and an overall great time.

French Onion Soup

Another delicious lunch here. Happy Hour offers $1 oysters, discounted wine and cocktails and freshly prepared and flavorful food specials. The oysters are always outstanding - fresh. perfectly shucked and beautifully presented. We shared a dozen. For the meal, we loved the French Onion soup! The bowls are filled with savory broth, a crouton and perfectly caramelized onions, covered with a slice of molten cheese lightly charred at the edges, and as if that's not enough, there's a fistful of fried onions to top this all off! Then the Honey had the chicken club sandwich with a salad instead of the French fries, I had the Irish Sausage Sandwich, one of the day's lunch specials. Both dishes were very good! Today's experience was made even better by the patient, efficient and knowledgeable server - Laura. She was very attentive and helpful throughout. We will definitely be back!

Recently visited Jane Doe with a reservation--which is definitely necessary since the space is small and extremely busy. I ordered the Short Rib Mac and Cheese and the octopus. When the Mac and Cheese arrived, I initially thought the portion looked too small, but it was packed with short rib and surprisingly filling. I couldn't even finish it. The restaurant was decorated nicely for the holidays, which added a warm touch. However, the bar area had a noticeably sour smell, likely from the crowd, and the bathroom was unfortunately disgusting--the toilet was full of toilet paper and feces. To make matters worse, there's only one restroom available.

This was definitely a hidden gem. Happy hour from 11 am to 8 pm?!?! A classy and modern vibe that is cozy. Our server was nice and it look like she was the only one serving and bartending when we got there when it open. Mussels were great but a little small and the garlic sauce was flavorful but not enough for dipping the bread. $1 oysters!! They were nice and plump. I definitely recommend the Jane Doe salad had a sweet and salty balance with the walnuts, apple and blue cheese.

After the tacky $100 bus ride call Tea Around Town and extensive walk at Bryant Park, we ended up here. It's has great drinks, happy hour and looks like yummy food. This is where we ended our birthday celebration.

Came for girls night looking for a spot to grab drinks and a chill meal. Jane Doe delivered! Located smack dab in the center of midtown a couple blocks up from Bryant Park, I was glad to find it nice and toasty inside on an evening where it was feeling -15 degrees F outside. Right inside is the bar, with about a dozen seats along it and scattered around the front next to the windows and left wall. Standing room available and there were a few TVs in the bar area and a few more in the back seating area. My friend made reservations for 6:30pm and it was pretty busy even with the weather so recommend making them if you're coming around peak dinner time. Staff were quick to acknowledge us at the table and brought menus, gave us time to check them out and then took drink and app orders expeditiously. They also checked in periodically on our meal. We got to drink: - Winter Dayz $16: my friend got this and didn't particularly like it. I wondered if the ratio of pomegranate, lemon juice and simple syrup were balanced with the raspberry vodka. - Pornstar Martini $10: Friday night is pornstar martini specials night! My friend enjoyed hers. - A Twist on a Spritz $16: this was ok though I have to say I didn't taste much elderflower for having both elderflower rose gin and St. Germaine. Eats: - Spinach and artichoke dip $19: I didn't try this though my friends enjoyed! Ample pieces of pita to scoop up the hearty dip. Topped with melted Gruyère like French onion soup. - Happy hour oysters $1 each: fresh, briny great with a dab of horseradish or vinegar with a squeeze of lemon. - Shortrib potato croquettes $21 for 3 balls: very good, crispy on the outside, pillowy mashed potatoes, tender juicy shortrib inside. - Reuben sandwich $19: served with fries or salad, my friend enjoyed this, good sized sandwich and tasty and fresh salad! - Jane Doe burger $20: I got this and was overall satisfied, the patty was a perfect medium rare like I requested. Fair-sized burger I was very full afterwards! Same fries or salad and I chose the latter. The only thing was there was a little gristle ground into the meat and I kept noticing bits as I was chewing (and kinda had to spit them out). - Salmon scampi $33: served with fluffy mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. Solid take and nicely sized portion. Solid spot to come back again. Will make plans to come for happy hour and try their daily specials for sure!

French Onion Soup

Great cozy bar in time square! My friends and I love coming here for their bottomless brunch. Service is quick. I LOVE their French onion soup!

Came here for happy hour with a few friends. The happy hour deal is great, and lasts a long time. We had some vodka sodas and tried some of the happy hour appetizers. They can really bit hit or miss. The pizza was AWFUL. It was basically like eating cardboard. The tacos were pretty good! The nachos were also really good. The place was packed, but the service was pretty good all things considered. They were very friendly and nice. The place itself is TERRIBLE for talking to your friends. We were sitting at a table and we could literally not hear a thing. I think there is some kind of sound tunnel where all the noise is funneled into the center of that room. The person next to me was screaming in my ear and I could barely hear them. All those things factored together, would make me not recommend this place for more than just a quick drink.

Came here on a whim as we saw the sign advertising $1 oysters. We were conveniently staying at the hotel across the street, so after checking in, we walked over here to get some food. What a great find! We both had their delicious cream of mushroom soup, followed by oysters which were heavenly. We loved the vinaigrette and cocktail sauce it came with. This was probably one of my favorite meals that we've ever had in the city just for simplicity and it didnt cost a small fortune. If you love oysters, you must go here! The inside is quaint and very nicely decorated. Service was friendly. We don't drink but we noticed that the drink prices weren't insanely overpriced either.

This is amazingminute so and a lucky find! Super cute, festive and the food is great!! The happy hour is 11-8pm during the week. The croquettes and the Oysters ($1) are AMAZING!!! Our bartender Suzanne was the greatest!!!!! So sweet & attentive!!!!!

Happy Hour
Jennifer R.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! I held a small post-work event with 10+ colleagues the other day. Everyone had a fantastic time! First, while this Irish restaurant/bar is on the small side, it's super cozy and decorated beautifully- very warm and inviting. It's ideally located close to all modes of transportation in a prime Midtown location. The manager (I think?), Sharon, was beyond helpful when I walked in and made the reservation the week before. It was a pleasure dealing with her. The cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced, and it's nice that they have a happy hour menu with a decent amount of options as well. Even their main menu has many options at affordable prices - a major plus in today's economy. The bartender (not sure of her name, but she was blondish with long hair) was friendly and accommodating. Even the other patrons were pleasant (which doesn't always happen)! I passed this place on the way to work for the past few years and have been curious about it the entire time. I'm so glad I decided to inquire for the event. Even my colleagues asked why we never came here before. I think we have a new "go to" spot! I'll definitely be back!

Honestly, such a good time every time I come for happy hour. They have a happy hour every day until 8 PM! One dollar oysters, in this economy? Signed me up! They have a $7 white, red, and rosé , $10 well drink cocktails, and beers on happy hour. With each weekday having its own special specials.

Sign Outside
Jessica B.

Came across this restaurant while walking around Times Square and saw the $1 oysters sign with purchase of a drink. Decided to go in and check it out since the reviews looked good as well. The bar is located at the front and there were a few people sitting around it at the time we walked in on a late Sunday night. The bartender asked us if we wanted to sit at the bar or in the lounge in the back which had no one. Of course, we chose the lounge! The lounge looks very classy with its royal blue sofas and dark brown wooden tables and walls. We ordered a cranberry Apple Mule, a dozen raw oysters, shrimp tacos and short rib potato Croquettes. The cranberry Apple Mule was sparkling so refreshing but a bit on the bitter side for me. The oysters were big and came with a cocktail sauce and a vinegar sauce as well as a bag of oysters crackers which I prefer with clam chowder. The shrimp tacos were delicious. The tortilla was not bland or stale. The shrimp was fresh. And the guacamole, salsa, and everything on top made it a perfect bite! The short rib potato Croquettes were amazing! Crispy outside and soft inside. Strong short rib flavor with the lighter potato flavor. The meat balances the carbs. Very cute place! Definitely recommend coming during happy hour or even a late night dinner. The restaurant looks like it is part of a hotel but it was not busy at all.

Do you have to sit at the bar for the happy hour or can you order happy hour at the tables also?

Hello Happy Hour drinks is in the dining area and at the bar. Happy hour food is only at the bar. The dining area is for dinner. Thanks

What time are $1 oysters available?

We happened to be there on a Sunday while the sign was up outside reading the $1 oyster happy hour. I would call Jane Doe ahead and ask them when this offer happens. Definitely a great deal.

He was leering at me and making inappropriate comments that made me nauseous. Guy was old enough to be my Dad. Pretty sure he was sneaking pics of me too with his phone. I was waiting for my friend to arrive before going to see a show and ordered a neat scotch and an Allagash White when I sat down. He gives me a look and tells me I "drink like a man". Then made other comments questioning my sexuality. Total misogynistic predator creep. I didn't finish the scotch because I know what Macallan tastes like and that crap he poured me was like Costco booze. Then I worried whether or not he put something fishy in my glass. I couldn't settle the tab and get out of there fast enough. Our plan was to eat there when my friend finally arrived, but f that. Ended up meeting her at the pizza place a few blocks away. Thinking of this dude literally makes my skin crawl. I'm not one to write reviews often, but he shouldn't get away with that behavior. Aren't bars supposed to exude good vibes and provide hospitality? My experience here was not only traumatic, but a total waste of money too.

However no reason for you management staff to be completely rude about especially on such short notice. I called to find out a solution as the message said we could show up a half hour later than our original reservations and was transfered to a manager. Who ever the manager was on 5/17/26 at about 8 pm said ya they got the place from 2 pm good luck . I tried to ask if we could show up a halfhour later than planed as the voicemail indicated but he blew it off and was being very rude about the whole situation so if figured I do not want to give this company anymore money moving forward so I found another restrauant. Shame is now I wont visit the one in Texas where I live either.
