    LOVED!! Little Gem, the pub is lovely and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great spot to eat and drink! Their happy hour looked great too.Fun music and sport on the TV also enhanced the experience.

    What can we say we flew over 4000 miles from Liverpool UK and this place didn’t let us down, food amazing and drinks great too. 6 of us and the bill was very reasonable. Decorated for Christmas to a high standard great music modern and clean

  • Review 3 (2024-10-17 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place! Wings oysters and most of all the bartender URSELA will def be back! $1 oysters all day everyday and $1.50 wings on Wednesdays! Good beer selection and cute Halloween decor!

    Absolutely AMAAAZING!!! WIFE and I MAKE IT A MISSION TO COME here every time we hit the city!!! It’s a must visit place ESPECIALLY during Christmas !!!

    Great hospitality. Really enjoyed time here. Thank you!! John Doe NYC very good.

  • Review 6 (2023-09-20 - Rating: 4)

    Food was decent. Chili fries was the best thing out of the dishes, Oyster is definitely worth it, slider was good, but the truffle fried was a let down. Fries was pretty soggy. What made it worth it was the drinks and the happy hour

    BEST DEAL IN NYC ALERT! I had a hard time believing this was true until I saw it myselfAnytime, not just during happy hour, can you get these beautifully plump one dollar oysters with all the fixings. Someone recently went viral here for eating over 70 oysters and although I won’t be doing that in this video, Lord knows I’m up for the challengeGreat spot for a Halloween dinner date or to watch the Yankees try to win a game this week! Happy Hour here is also absolutely wild with $5 pints of beer and $7 wine

  • Review 8 (2024-03-02 - Rating: 5)

    Busy pub with good Irish food, oysters and interesting drinks. We sat down at 5 on Friday evening and place was packed by 5:30! Service was a friendly team effort. All requests were accommodated. Recommend the Guiness beef stew, onion rings, and NY strip.

  • Review 9 (2023-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    I’m obsessed with this place!!! The food is simply delicious! Whether you’re looking for bar staples like nachos or elevated bar food or fun & creative fusion dishes you’re sure to find it all under one roof here! They’ve got fantastic cocktails, $1 oysters, an unbeatable happy hour and the service is so warm! Ask for Joshua he is your NYC vibe curator!

  • Review 10 (2023-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    Nice ambiance! Nice place with inside and outside seating.They do have special $1 oysters all day every day.Huge selection of draft fresh beers And full bar with a lot of appetizersThe serve draft beer on frozen glasses so I definitely will be back again and againNice music, friendly bartenders and staff!Great place to have few drinks and Hang out

  • Review 11 (2021-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    John Doe Bar & Kitchen was such a good time. Their happy hour was one of the best in the city. Most of the drinks we ordered were $6 to $10 and it went until 8pm. They made a really good margarita too. The staff and service were impeccable and the nachos, mozzarella sticks and the honey mustard wings were outrageous. Next time I’ll definitely try the Buffalo. I bet those are really good too!!

  • Review 12 (2024-11-19 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been coming here for about 4 years now, and I love this place. I have yet to have a dish, I did not like. The drinks are on point too. The staff is great! 10 out of 10, definitely recommend.

  • Review 13 (2022-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar with great cocktails and happy hour prices. We didn’t eat but next time I’ll try some food for sure. Lovely bartender and smiling face. 10/10 recommended bar.

  • Review 14 (2024-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    They’re playing Turkish music by Tarkan, and I liked this one the most! It’s awesome 🙌🏻

  • Review 15 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 4)

    Neighborhood New York vibe. Presents like a sports bar - but no-one watches screens. This is a place to reconvene after work: Vent, celebrate or commiserate.Food: Taco Tuesday is fun. Sliders and dumplings, calamari round out an eclectic menu.But it’s the frozen drinks that seem to attract the regulars. Perhaps next time…

  • Review 16 (2024-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    We stopped by with our group of nine before our dinner reservation nearby. We got lucky and were able to grab a couple tables next to each other. The drinks and oysters were great. Our server was super sweet, and the Christmas decor created an amazing ambience! The TVs were also nice to catch the football game that some in our group were watching. We will be back!

  • Review 17 (2022-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    My friends and I happened to find this place looking for a quick bite to eat before going to Museum of Sex for my birthday, which was just a minute walk away!(so convenient). Amazing cocktails for amazing prices especially considering the location/ ambiance. Really great food. We went back for more drinks after going to the museum. Great service as well! Will definitely be a go-to for when I’m in this area! My friends and I recommend the frozen strawberry margarita, the regular margarita and chicken/ fries! Will definitely be trying the oysters next time!

  • Review 18 (2023-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    Great staff, the host and server were excellent to start, then my food was great. Id been craving a good steak for weeks and found no joy but here i had a perfect med rare NY stip steak that cut like butter and tasted dreamy. My dinner companion ate something, i couldnt tell you what because i was in my own little steak induced heaven but they seemed to have a similar experience.

  • Review 19 (2022-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    This is a nice pub we stopped in. Bartender had a slight brogue that sounded pleasant and she made a good gin and tonic. The food smelled good and looked appetizing but we just stopped to wet our whistle.

  • Review 20 (2024-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great Cosmo and espresso martini! Festive holiday decor. Crispy fish tacos were excellent.

  • Review 21 (2024-05-17 - Rating: 4)

    Solid bar. Friendly staff, basic menu, but plenty of variety and daily specials. Expansive happy hour 11a-8p. Kind of a dive bar or roadhouse vibe. Popular with the locals. I came for the chili nachos but they were not on the menu. So I got the fish & chips. Fish was great. Fries were good but greasy. I would return.

  • Review 22 (2022-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome discovery ! Ate outside on a sunny day, waitress and owner were so lovely with us. The food was insane every bit of my plate was a pleasure to eat. Will certainly go again at night to try the bar !

  • Review 23 (2019-06-01 - Rating: 4)

    I had the fish&chips, fish was tasty (including a delicious dill sauce) fries could have been a little crispier. The drinks were very nice!

  • Review 24 (2025-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    Its a very good place to hang out with your friends after the club in the weekends

    Such kind staff! So welcoming and nice. Great drinks and food! Fabulous experience!

  • Review 30 (2024-01-16 - Rating: 5)

    I walked in on a Monday afternoon and was a very soothing vibe. Mild music playing around with a less than average crowd density since it was afternoon. The music picks up after evening and gets really busy. I tried the cocktails and chicken cheese naachos. The food was great and so were the cocktails to say the least.Alex took good care of me and was super attentive and loving, kudos to her!Would definitely visit again.

  • Review 31 (2024-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot, nice people and good energy. It’s hard to find a nice bar now a days without someone trying to start a fight but this place has a great atmosphere and is one of my go to places now!

  • Review 32 (2024-03-03 - Rating: 5)

    Food is good. Different and unique taste (emphasis in unique)… great ambience, good drinks

    The drink and the food was good 💖The service was just as good ♥️💖♥️Ill be back 😁

  • Review 34 (2023-10-21 - Rating: 5)

    I walked past this spot with a friend late on a Friday and we decided to check it out. I am glad we did. The service, food, drinks and atmosphere were all worthy of a five-star review. If I lived closer to it I would definitely go two to three times a month for sure maybe more. Highly recommended.

  • Review 35 (2023-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    Sat on their dog friendly patio with our small pup a few weekends back. The girl server was very on the ball, the guy was more laid back but his friendliness made up for it. The food and drinks were all very good. We had the Buffalo Mac and cheese with chicken to start and that was a full meal in itself! The house salad was hearty with the pecans and feta, I would do a different dressing next time. The penne was also very good, there were onions which we did not expect. Overall, everything was above average and wed certainly go back in the area.

  • Review 36 (2024-12-20 - Rating: 4)

    Nice ambiance, beautifully decorated. Good drinks, fair prices. Nice spot for a date or a night out on the town. The music could be better. Bartender extremely kind, and beautiful

  • Review 37 (2024-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar with good vibes, excellent food and drinks. Bar staff were pros. We stopped in on new years and it was bumping along nicely. Staff here seem happy and it was a magical night. We will return!

  • Review 38 (2023-01-18 - Rating: 5)

    John Doe has the best service I have ever received from a restaurant - ever! Joshua the manager is an absolute gem and personally hand delivered my order after the first delivery had an error. Now every time I order he checks to make sure its right and its always PERFECTION!I cannot say enough good things about the service here - but thats not all. The food is DELICIOUS! I absolutely love the Buffalo chicken wrap. The chicken quality is always great (none of that questionable meat you sometimes get), with crispy iceberg lettuce -- chefs kiss!Thank you Joshua and the entire team at John Doe. I am actually really craving the wrap now after just thinking about it. You have a customer for life!

  • Review 39 (2024-06-18 - Rating: 4)

    Absolutely adore the staff! Great spot to stop in for a drink and good vibes. The food is so/so, nothing special, just gets the job done for bar bites.

  • Review 40 (2022-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    The oysters were PHENOMENAL, drinks 10/10, and food superb. My friend and I split potato skins and some wings - the manager Joshua brought our food out to us and ended up talking about history of oysters and where they are sourced, he commended our wing flavor, and recommended INCREDIBLE drinks. If you don’t wanna come for the food then come for the amazing staff and perfect atmosphere. My friend and I enjoyed a good two hour dinner just because we wanted to stay and hang out!! Cannot stress enough how much I like this place and I have been working in service myself for 3 years

  • Review 41 (2023-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    This place is one of my faves in the city. A few friends and I had dinner here and enjoyed. John Doe is the everything bar. Great for Date night, sports bar, girls or guys outing and more they have something for everyone.

    Found this place randomly walking around and it was a great choice. The sliders were great. The wings were not my favorite but they were good.

  • Review 43 (2024-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Came here in 2021 and it’s still so good still haven’t tried the food lol but I’m sure it’s amazing

  • Review 44 (2023-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    This place is incredible! We got $1 oysters that were delicious. The drinks were great. We ordered the salmon wrap and the Whiskey chicken. The salmon wrap was OUT OF THIS WORLD! The raspberry mint vinegarette was so great. The sauce on the Whiskey chicken... no words. So good! Definitely coming back!!

  • Review 45 (2024-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar, super lively with the office crowds at the end of the working day, and a good location on 5th Ave. Grab a spot at the bar and chat with the bar staff, who are genuinely funny and engaging. Drinks were well priced, good menu and specials. Will definitely return.

  • Review 46 (2023-08-21 - Rating: 5)

    Cool place with great food. $1 oysters all day is a great place to get your fix of oysters. Mac and cheese bites are good too. Service was fast. A good place to stop by after work.

  • Review 47 (2024-09-06 - Rating: 5)

    I stopped by on a Monday afternoon and was welcomed by a peaceful, laid-back vibe. Gentle music played softly in the background, and the place wasn’t too busy, likely because of the time. As the evening sets in, the music picks up in energy, and the crowd begins to grow. I tried the cocktails and chicken cheese nachos, both of which were fantastic. Alex’s service stood out—she was attentive and friendly, so props to her! I’ll certainly be coming back.

  • Review 48 (2023-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    Great selection of beer. $1 oysters are addicting and very fresh. Ambience is great, would definitely recommend going and will be coming back on next visit.

  • Review 49 (2023-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    Happy hour oysters for a dollar each, were awesome. Strong IPA’s will make you comfortably loopy. Recommended

  • Review 50 (2022-04-29 - Rating: 5)

    First time here and they had shockingly great food (shocking because its a bar and we didnt expect the entrees to be lip smacking delish). Their daily deals are also great. Good beer selection. Service was wonderful. It got a little loud during lunch but that was okay with us. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

  • Review 51 (2024-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great bartenders and the food is delicious. Chrystal has a great personality, and makes great drinks!

  • Review 52 (2022-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Our second time here but this time with the kids. We came here for brunch, but I think the star of the meal was the $1 oysters, which we loaded up on a few dozen! The steak and eggs were also great, which came with home fries. The kids were able to share a chicken nuggets, which you can also add on fries for an additional $3.It wasnt super crowded for a Saturday early afternoon. They have two bathrooms, single unisex and fairly clean. Only thing I would add is the toilet paper they have is somehow thinner than single ply, if thats even possible.

  • Review 53 (2021-11-22 - Rating: 5)

    Staff is so wonderful and nice, so welcoming. Drinks are good and strong (had the Titos Tea and the John Doe Mule) and the food is great too! I recommend the Cajun Salmon Sandwich and the Honey Mustard Wings! Went 3 times in one weekend and Ill be back again! Thank you!

    Dropped in on a wet sunday afternoon. Glad we did, my wife and 2 kids ( 12 & 8 ). The food was great, home cooked and tasty. It was my daughters birthday and they gave her a balloon and sang happy birthday to her. Lovely saff, good beer . We would 100% recommend John Does Bar.

    Love the $1 oysters and happy hour here. 😋🤤🦪🍺

  • Review 57 (2021-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    We visited NYC about 3 weeks ago. It was our first stop in the city as we just flew in and wanted something to drink and eat. We quickly ended up saying well be back before we fly home. We ended up ending every night in town hanging out up here. We absolutely loved this place. Danielle our bartender was as sweet as could be, and cant remember our other bar tenders name but he introduced me to Jameson. The food was awesome, there house ale was this Bees knees. We ended up flying home after four days and saying we felt like regulars in there. It will be a most definite stop when we return for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!!

  • Review 58 (2024-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    Such a crazy long happy hour (11 - 8) and $5 beers. Food nice and the lunch deal looked like a reasonable deal even though we didnt have it.Would come back here for NFL sundays

    Very nice beer and burger. Staff very helpful and polite. Great location with view of the empire state building.

  • Review 60 (2022-04-19 - Rating: 5)

    We were looking for a Happy Hour in the city on a Saturday and stumbled into John Doe. Didnt know what to expect but Wow! Instantly fell in love after having $1 oysters, truffle fries, the house Ale, and Spring In Your Step (A MUST TRY!) Its a gin cocktail that has lavender & basil and a pretty flower in it. BASIC yes.. and Im here for it. And another must try is their espresso martinis! Honestly one of the best weve had in the city.But the REAL credit and the reason why we go back every time were in the city goes to Miro and Joshua who are truly incredible people at this bar! Whenever we are in the city we have to stop by John Doe. Miro and Joshua really have made us feel like we are part of their family and we always have a great time with them! If youre looking for a drink or a meal, and more importantly a fun time look no further than the John Doe! And make sure to say Hi to Joshua and Miro!!! You wont be disappointed!

  • Review 62 (2021-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    We came to this establishment to kill some time and have a drink before going to a museum we had an appt for. We loved it so much that we came back and had a few more drinks later the same day. Thats saying a lot for how many places there are in the city! But we felt extremely comfortable there. I have a wheelchair and they were very accommodating both times. Also the appetizers we got were really yummy. I wish I could remember our servers names! Both were wonderful! One is planning a trip to Big Sky, MT soon (we live in Montana so it was fun to chat about). Next time I am in the area I would definitely stop back in. Cheers!

  • Review 63 (2022-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing drinks! Would recommend the Grumpy Ole Man or Strawberry Cider. My partner & I ordered the Monday burger special and Oysters. Oysters were delicious. So delicious we had two dozen of them. Definitely worth a go, good environment and really friendly staff. The owner came by to check on us and he was such a lovely person. JD, we’ll be back!!

    The food and experience were really good. We ordered the calamari, caprese panini, and fish and chips, which were all tasty. The waitress was very friendly and totally on top of our drinks and food. We dined in their outdoor patio area, which did not require proof of vaccination.

  • Review 70 (2021-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    John Doe has become one of my new favorite brunch spots in NYC. Located on 5th avenue right between two of NYC’s most iconic spots ~ the Flatiron and the Empire State Building ~ John Doe Craft Bar & Kitchen serves a wide variety of specialty cocktails, and the most creative dishes that will definitely become your new obsessions! Happy hour is from 11 AM to 8 PM & they have weekend bottomless brunch! I ordered the Titos Tea for a cocktail and it was so crisp and refreshing. The Pink Gin Spritz was also a spectacular option! My favorite brunch dish that I got to try was the Hangover Burger and I added parmesan truffle fries to the order. It was absolutely incredible. If you are in NYC, you need to check them out they do not disappoint!

  • Review 71 (2020-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    Great brunch option supplied through Pulsd. The mimosas were very strong and plentiful. They had omelettes which were pretty big for the area competition; overall portions were big actually. I love how much care is put into things here: from the server to the choice of seating to the bottomless mimosas to the food and the overall bill. Far from disappointed. Make sure to make reservations as the place seems pretty popular.

  • Review 72 (2019-01-28 - Rating: 5)

    Bartender was polite and customer service strong. Had stopped by here with my GF before our city adventures. Guinness was really good and the fried calamari was excellent. We plan to return to proclaim John Does our bar. Really awesome time!

    The food was quite delicious and service was excellent. Ambience was very nice too. I even got an Irish song sung to me by a fellow sitting outside with his dog. I was too taken aback by the fact I was clearly being romanced, but I will be back for everything this place has to offer. Hopefully so will he :)

    A nice business casual bar on 5th ave to get a cheap drink and some good food. I recommend the tequila wings and do not recommend the chicken sandwich. Great for office happy hours.

    Quiet on a Sunday night and quick and pleasant service as a result. Steak was brilliant... Cooked perfectly and so tender... Burger looked good too and after a long day stomping the sidewalks whilst jet lagged, this was exactly what we needed before bed.

    This place is phenomenal! Their oysters are to die for! And theyre only a $1 which you cannot beat. Staff are friendly and the place isnt so jam packed, which is surprising for a spot in the city. I would recommend everyone to come here.

    What a turn around! Gone from generic midtown bar to haven for the community in a matter on weeks. Best wings in the area, longest happy hour and wonderful staff all week long. Thanks for brining a great bar back to the neighborhood.

    Great drinks, stiff and well made, would recommend the Tito’s tea. Got the penne ala vodka, it was good but didn’t blow my mind. Definitely worth a go, good environment and really friendly staff.

  • Review 90 (2018-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    Just what we needed, when we needed it. This casual, friendly bar was open at 3am and not blasting music so I ducked in just for a quick drink and to use the mens room. Imagine my surprise when I found the bartender Seamus to be so friendly, authentic, and warm, and rest of the late night crowd to be so low key, creating an unusually welcoming spot. Menu was full of unpretentious but tasty offerings, plus a good selection of craft beers.

    We LOVE John Doe and the whole crew there. We make it a point to visit John Doe whenever we’re in the City. The vibe is fantastic! The drinks are fab and the food is terrific. Special shout out to the guys in the kitchen during the afternoon of Saturday 11/5. I wanted an order of wings as hot as they could do…they did not disappoint. Thank you! If you’re looking for an awesome, unpretentious, fun place to grab a drink and have a bite, look no further.

    What can I say, $1 happy hour oysters! I liked the ambiance, low key, casual. Drinks were really good. The only blight was the bartender, she was miserable and unfriendly.

    A great place to stop after work. Great choices for food, although the salad selection is great, theres not much else for say a vegan or vegetarian meal. But the service is excellent and drinks are great. Its a good pitstop.

    Great little spot on the main drag that we stumbled into to have a pint. Bartender was super friendly, a lad fresh from the Eire with less than two years under how belt in America.. Made you feel welcome. Decor was great for the holidays. I went with a Sweet Tarts Cape Cod Cranberry sour, which wasnt as sour as I would have liked.

  • Review 124 (2021-07-20 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 139 (2024-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place. Ive been coming here for years and never had an issue. Great food, staff, environment, etc. However I was very disappointed in the drag queen they hired yesterday on June 1st to kick off pride month. The owners of the bar need to sit this person down and have an adult conversation about how the platform she was given to entertain us is not to be used to express their personal anger, beliefs, and unfortunate situations in life. I am gay, very proud, and excited to celebrate, however this drag performer was offensive and showed undertones of anger while screaming When I say free, you say Palestine! When I say black lives, you say mater! When I say black trans lives, you say matter! It was utterly ridiculous. She literally said Ive recently had a bad couple of weeks in my life before going on a 10 minute awkward monologue about how shes trans and had a hard life. Youre wearing a thong! This is not the place for your sad life story! I am trying to eat my dinner and catch a buzz and this person is unloading their personal beliefs and grievances on me - I felt very uncomfortable. Im not sure she has the maturity or is in the right mental state to hold a microphone in front of guests. Thanks for your time, and I hope this helps. Ill be back soon for cocktails!
