DoubleDeuceApril 4, 2015A bit off to the side in the Seaport makes this a mostly neighborhood spot at night. Charming facade and clean, open inside. Outside of the name, it's fairly standard.Upvoted 6 days ago
This fantastic local spot has bounced back better than ever after Sandy. Stop by for a craft beer and solid grub served by the friendly folks at this historic institution of the Old Seaport.
The crab cake is solid. It is less fried crab patty and more loose crab. The crabcake is not too shabby here. Bar is beautiful, watch out for 90s music. Great place to watch a ball game in the spring
Christina ChinOctober 13, 2023Hh food (till 6p) was like $3 for truffle fries and a paris smash slider and that slider was damn good! Sat outside on wed evening...nice night but notice cars and dump trucks pass by closely 🤢
Brian PJune 3, 2016I like old pubs and this one has been there since 1883. Good character& beer selection in a fun little area.- Jackson IsaacsonMay 31, 2015Beautiful outdoor cafe seating, cheap brunch that includes a free drink!
Stephen SandersMay 17, 2011It may not be the salty fishermen's haunt that it once was but it still a classy yet low key bar and restaurant. Order the Paris Seafood Chowder, it's loaded with scallops, shrimp, and mussels.
Chandana MenonAugust 22, 2014Love the feel of history. Kid friendly with high chairs. Love thursday nights when they have a band. Romantic.
ToriSeptember 23, 2012this sister restaurant of Open Door is a great spot to avoid the tourist population near the seaport. Good bar grub, tons of tvs and not a tourist in sight.- Rodrigo LozanoAugust 19, 2019Salads, chicken, burgers, lamb shank, shrimp scampi and best service in the seaport area

Buford BarnesMay 30, 2012Established 1873 (?) in ground floor of a hotel. Old hammered-tin ceiling, and the dark-wood bar, but flat screen TVs and other updates added.
Jeffrey DunnJuly 10, 2011Friendly service and burgers too big to finish. Homemade tartar sauce us also excellent with fries!!!
Shiseido RuizJanuary 18, 2010Great place for a quick beer or settle for the long haul. Show your loyalty to the place and the bartenders take care of you! Great staff!

The Seaport's quintessential sports bar. And for what it is, the food's not half bad. #seaportliving
Nancy AndrewsNovember 30, 2011The curly haired waitress is the worst ever! She is so slow and is always hiding in a different booth texting! Sit at the bar if you want to get out in less than 2 hrs!
Jean L.May 29, 2019Slow service and the beef burger tastes like gamey liver/lamb. Avoid if possible.

"Well balanced and varied lunch menu. A wonderful smorgasbord of beer to choose from as well. The quaintness of the financial district and the small and narrow streets add to ambiance as well."

"Checkout the old school Bowne & Co. shop, located right at Water Street. Lot's of cool letterpress and cards in there. It's right next to the South Street Seaport Museum."
Raj S. - 7.1
"32 ounces of pure, styrofoam-cup-filled beer deliciousness is the classic drink here. These guys are long-time tenants of the Seaport and you definitely get that feel as soon as you step inside."

"A must do when you are in New York. Just walk across, look out for fast New Yorkers on bicycles and often stop to look at the view and the architecture of the bridge itself."
