Dorlan's Tavern & Oyster Bar — Restaurant in New York

Dorlan's, located in the historic South Street Seaport in New York City, is a fantastic spot that perfectly balances a classic pub atmosphere with high-quality food and drinks. I recently went there and was thoroughly impressed, especially by their take on comfort food classics.

My friends and I were craving something hearty, and we were not disappointed. We ordered a big chicken sandwich and a juicy burger to share, and both were outstanding. The chicken sandwich was a true showstopper—perfectly fried to a golden crisp while remaining incredibly moist and tender on the inside. It was a generous size and had a fantastic, flavorful crunch with every bite. The burger was equally impressive. It was cooked to a perfect medium, with a patty so juicy and rich that it practically melted in your mouth. The classic toppings and a toasted bun made for a flawless burger experience.

What made the meal even better were the sides and drinks. The fries were a perfect companion, hot and crispy, and just the right amount of salt. And the cocktails were excellent. We each had a few different ones, and they were all expertly mixed and well-balanced—they weren't just an afterthought but a highlight of the meal. The entire place has a warm and inviting vibe, and the staff was friendly and attentive. For a spot that feels like a cozy neighborhood tavern but serves up incredible, elevated pub fare and great drinks, Dorlan's is a...

Cool spot at South Street Seaport. To my pleasant surprise, it is a very down to earth Tavern and not touristy at all. The service was good and The Charbroiled Oysters were 😋. I would definitely go back. Have gone back now on various occasions and I still enjoy it very much. The Charbroiled Oysters are always delicious but the other day they were exceptional. They were very plump and flavorful. The staff is very nice. This is definitely my go to when I go to The Seaport. I have revisited Dorlan's on various occasions since my original review. I feel very welcomed each time I go. I enjoy talking with the bartenders and the staff, they are all very pleasant. The Charbroiled Oysters are as 😋 as always and they make a wonderful Watermelon Margarita. Update: 4/23/23. Still love this place. I hadn't gone back since September and the bartenders and the staff still remembered my name. It truly is a great Restaurant Bar to visit in...

Came into this spot to play pool with my brother, as it was recommended. I went to use the bathroom and there was a strong weed odor upon leaving the bathroom. When I re-approached the table, my brother said the the manager harassed him for smoking weed, that had become malodorous within the bar, and told him that this was “not a weed bar”. My brother doesn’t smoke or partake in drugs and told the manager such. I later asked the manager why he was singled out upon leaving the bathroom and he couldn’t give me an answer, other than that the bar “smelled the same way the last time he was here”. Again, my brother doesn’t smoke weed. AT ALL. We were singled out as the only brown people when we only wanted to play pool and no concrete answers were given as to why. This spot is located in the Seaport district of Manhattan which is pedestrian based, and anyone walking by can smell or smoke anyway they want, yet we were singled...
