An oasis while touring South St Seaport. The bar is in a historic building that has real character. A warming place on a cold day to get great beer and shots, and great food. I had the calamari: superb, very fresh and plentiful. While visiting South St Seaport this bar may not be the easiest to find, one block back from the waterfront, but make sure you find it! Great service by Marlene the bar server.

Strongly unrecommend.Absolutely terrible Buffalo chicken wings in Dorlans sauce. Incredible hot. No mention of extremely hot food on the menu. The waiter didnt mention it either.Never back.

A nice Irish pub / bar atmosphere close to Brooklyn Bridge. The food was ok and the service was really good.For us it was a good lunch option down on the east side of the Financial District in Manhattan!

Good place for a drink or two on weekends with friends. We went on a Saturday and were expecting it to be packed, but it was at around 50% occupancy. We got a table easily and were served on the table. We tried oysters and couple of drinks. Oysters were not great but good (we had high expectations). Drinks were made well.

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 Dorlans 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 hadnt gone back since September and the bartenders and the staff still remembered my name. It truly is a great Restaurant Bar to visit in The Seaport.

We went here after walking around the pier for dinner. Ordered the calamari, fish and chips and al pastor tacos. Also got a spicy margarita and a beer. We sat outside since I had my puppy with me. The server was nice to bring out a separate container of water for my puppy to drink. The tavern wasn’t busy at all so was surprised that it took some time for us to get our food. Other than that, food was good and was a nice night to eat outside.

Was kind of disappointed with this place. Hopefully next time will be better. Went in to get away from the hot sun only to realize it was cooler to sit outside since they didn’t have the AC on. The “ice” water they gave us was warm. The montauk summer ale I ordered in a cab was warm as well. The old bay chicken tenders were pretty good and I’d definitely get them again. My buddy ordered chicken wings and one of the wings still had a feather.. also only 6 pieces for the order which seemed a bit light. Was hoping for a better experience hopefully if there is a next time it will be better.

Cool place with a modern but relaxed vibe. The space is open and airy with lots of high tables and a long bar. The house IPA is worth a try and the menu (especially sea food) was impressive. Added bonus is a pool table in an adjoining room.

After having a bad experience at Jeremys Ale House, we walked into here.We were greeted by a lovely young lady and seated right away. Being from Chicago, they sure fixed our bad experience from Jeremys, so huge thank yous!My steak was amazing and the side salad was so delicious, I am still craving it.Everything was so good and large portions!Thank you so much and everyone was so nice.

Dorlan Oyster in New York offers a fantastic dining experience. We enjoyed the Mexican dishes and burgers, both of which were exceptionally good. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a diverse menu. While a bit pricey, the quality makes it worth a visit.

We come here on Sunday at 7pm and it so busy. This place is half bar& restaurant. The menu dont have much food for you to pick but it good enough combination between hamburgers and Oysters place. The price are affordable, service good and waitress are nice. I have a very first time to try Top Neck Clams, it a lot of favors but I like Oysters better.

Dorlan’s is the best! Expect a wait in the summer for prime outdoor Seaport seating but come into the bar for cozy New England pub vibes. The charbroiled oysters & Old Bay chicken tenders are always a hit, and the drink menu is well put together.

Review №13

Unfortunately, the oysters we ordered were bland and likely not fresh. None of the oysters were attached the their shell, and none of the shells had an adductor muscle intact. The likelihood that a dozen oysters came clean off the shell when shucked cannot be that high, so its a possibility that these shells are being reused to serve frozen oysters. Otherwise Dorlans is a standard tavern with decent food and a nice atmosphere.

My favorite area of New York is the Financial District and after checking into my hotel I was starving. I was looking for coastal pub cuisine and Yelp helped me discover this great place. I loved the entire nautical vibe and stayed all afternoon as the happy hour crowds loaded in. What a fun place with great service and well portioned foods. Thank you for being my welcome back meal after 3 years of non-travel due to covid. Im glad your open and ready to celebrate with me. Ill be back soon.

We were starving and this place was within walking distance so we chose it and stopped in. Very relaxed atmosphere and mostly bar food but it is pretty delicious. I ordered the calamari for an appetizer and the shrimp tacos. If you are just wanting a place to have drinks this would be a great spot!

This place has delicious food! I had the chicken sandwich with fries and the sandwich was big a little spicy but it added a good flavor. The chicken was nice and warm it fell apart and melted in my mouth and the sauce was the cherry on top of everything. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves sea food and burgers!

Nice place, good atmosphere. We were sitting outside and every table had a big umbrella so we were in the shade even on a really sunny day. I ordered a burger and it was ok, my sister loved their oysters ( very fresh ) and she loved the fried fish sandwich. Waitress was very nice and let us know about the deal they had ( $10 shot and beer)

Regular bar. Unpretentious and well stocked. Food is okay. The artichoke dip is out of this world. Cod sandwich is way better than the fish and chips, if that makes any sense. Staff is very attentive. Great place to have a couple of beers and watch a game. Place gets a bit crowded but in a good way.

We have been to Dorlans numerous times as its our favorite neighborhood spot - nothing better than a casual vibe bar with great food. Recently we also held an event in the private space and Jeanne was incredibly helpful in the planning (it was a surprise event so I needed her help for sure!). And on the day of the event, the staff were incredibly kind and organized. Five stars... may have to go back this weekend again!PS they have a wing tower, so if you ever do an event... I highly recommend pairing an oyster tower with a wing tower.

This is truly a GEM of the Seaport area in NYC. My boyfriend and I stumbled across this place on my birthday when walking around the area on a beautiful evening. Let me tell you— this was the best meal I’ve had in a while, and definitely the best oysters I’ve ever had in my life.It is most definitely a dive bar, but that’s the joy of it. We loved the laid back atmosphere, old school tunes and overall good vibes. The bar looks out to the street so it’s really fun to go on a nice night when all the windows and doors are open— I’d even recommend sitting outside.The service was A+, the drinks were A+ and the food was A++++. We got two types of Oysters, Mozzarella Sticks and the sliders — 11/10.

Dorlans, where have I been all your life??? I wanted to take my fabulous foodie niece out for oysters and at long last decided to give Dorlans a try. It was a beautiful, breezy Sunday evening and the place was bustling, yet we were seated outside right away. Service was friendly and attentive. She judged the oysters fresh and delicious! I had a scrumptious Swiss burger and we shared the fries as well as a refreshing salad. Her bourbon smash was, well, a smash, and I thoroughly enjoyed my very generous glass of wine. In fact, there was an attitude of quality and generosity in everything we had and the tab was very reasonable. Truthfully, I cant wait to get my backside back to Front St!! Go!

Review №37

The food was just ok- The Burger is super tiny like a Wimpy Burger from Popeye cartoon as pictured here... My boyfriends water had black stuff in it- which was gross... Staff should check glasses prior to serving dirty water for sure! It was very dark inside the bar but luckily saw the black stuff in his glass. So wouldnt reccomend this place- sorry. Waiter was not that friendly either. 👎🏼

Review №39

I FOUND A LARGE PARASITIC CRAB UNDERNEATH MY OYSTER. I’m lucky to have found it before putting it in my mouth, I saw LEGS STICKING OUT from underneath and I knew something was off, I pulled on it and out came a translucent crab with a large red line down the back. Their response was extremely non chalant , they told us it’s been happening with other customers (??????) and all they could offer was to replace it with a singular new oyster…Also, the rest of the oysters had lots of algae and other weird looking debris in them, which I do NOT want to be eating. I want the oyster, not the whole sea.Please do not get the oysters here, these did not seem to be safe to eat at all, luckily I did not get sick but there was definitely a good chance of it.The wait staff was also very slow and inattentive despite the place being around 50% capacity

I worked with Jeanne to host a work event at Dorlans and it was wonderful!! Jeanne was so helpful and the event was a great success - shout out to Marlene behind the bar making great drinks and the kitchen with great sliders and guacamole and chips! The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for - lively but a little exclusive. Thank you to the whole team - we’ll definitely be back!

Dorlans has a nice environment and ambiance to it, but when it comes down to the food and service. The service was lack luster with us waiting some time to be served. Then when the food came, flavor was all but present. Very bland and unenjoyable. The drink that I ordered was also very light on alcohol and tasted very bland.All around okay experience for the price, yet not worth it if options are available.

Love this place. It’s a favorite in the neighborhood. The music is incredible & super diverse thus good dkm oldies to hip hop to pop and all great and known hits. The food is delicious bar food & cocktails are delish. Definitely try the Irish coffee or the blueberry sangria. The service could be a tad bit better but it’s worth it!

Its located at the heart of the seaport by pier 17, got both indoor and outdoor seatings. We ordered burger and fried chicken sandwich, both were great w good portion of crispy French fries, you can also substitute for sweet potatoes fries if you like. I was very happy w my chicken sandwich, it was breaded, juicy inside and crunchy outside. I wouldnt order cocktails there, we had a margaritas and dollars lemonade, both were watering down, lemonade was too sweet w barely any alcohol in it. For $14, the bartender didnt do justice to the cocktails.

Stopped by here late at night since most things were closed. Was super packed and the lady was trying her best to serve all the tables.Fish n chips ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: actually surprisingly good for bar food. Fish was crispy with a solid layer of batter and tender fish inside. Fries were also perfectly fried.Fried calamari ⭐️⭐️: came with banana peppers which is a bit odd to me. For how well the fish n chips were fried, Im surprised at how sub-par these were. Also came with an obscene amount of marinara sauce for how much calamari there was.

I met a colleague for drinks at Dorlans Tavern and Oyster bar. Its a cool spot in the seaport area and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks.

She was super friendly and engaging, and Ill be sure to visit the next time Im in the financial district.

I was with a group who all ordered alcohol and I asked the waiter for a glass of water. After my friends drinks were brought out and waiting a little with still no water, I asked again and he gave me a rude look. He had an attitude the whole time and never brought out the water. Horrible service and experience.

Dorlan’s is an amazing restaurant. During quarantine they provided fresh, hot food. Picking up was very safe. They only take cash unless ordering off grubhub but after going in and noticing how nice and happy the workers are, paying cash was no big deal. A great place to go for lunch or dinner pick up. We had the old bay tenders, mozz sticks and shrimp tacos, all amazing and clearly very fresh.

The decor of Dorlan’s Tavern & Oyster Bar is authentic tavern style and outdoor seating is currently available during COVID-19.The staff was nice and served everything quickly. The food options on the menu were limited. We had 2 dozens of oysters, shrimp nacho, fries, fried chicken tender and mozzarella sticks.Overall, the food was decent but not outstandingly good. Our favorite was their oysters, which were fresh and flavorful with 3 different sauces. We didn’t like their comfort food and it definitely was overcooked, especially the fried chicken. It was dry and hard to chew.

It’s loud and a man will ask your girlfriend where’s she’s from when she goes to the bar to get drinks. What the financial district. Dangerous boys in flip flops and pastel polo shirts vomit and piss and bark in the street. You cannot face away from the TV, all bask in its glow. Pretty good fish sandwich. Excellent private restrooms.

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 out. Not great.

Had a fish sandwich that was soggy on one side, but not terrible overall. Unfortunately my big issue was we were seated near the bathroom and it smelled terrible.

I had the worst fish and chips at this bar. The fish was greasy and had a rubbery texture, like it had been fried in old oil. The batter was soggy and falling off in chunks. The chips were even worse – they were limp, cold, and tasted stale. The tartar sauce was watery and had a strange, off-putting taste. The coleslaw on the side was practically inedible, with a sour smell and a slimy texture. The whole meal was a disaster, and I left feeling queasy. Definitely wont be going back there.

We were starved after touring so we went down Front st were we found this place. I had the roasted chicken sandwich with fries and my partner had the nachos with veggie chorizo . The roasted chicken was partially dry but the fries made up for it .The veggie chorizo wasn’t really chorizo flavored but more just taco flavored. Our waiter seemed like the only one working there and was very overwhelmed .

It was late at night when my wife and I were near the South Street Seaport and we couldnt believe we were in NYC, as literally all the places in the area were either closed or fully booked with no seating available. Unfortunately, Its like a ghost town down there due to the pandemic. We called Dorlans Tavern and they were able to seat us right away. This place was just what we needed for a late night meal. We were able to pick our own table and chose to sit outdoors. Nothing fancy but nice to not be cooped in. Ordered Old Bay Chicken Tenders, Fried Calamari and French fries with a few drinks. Never tried Old Bay seasoning on anything but seafood, so this was a unique and surprisingly delicious experience. The calamari was good also but we were left with a lot of fried batter at the bottom of the plate. Drinks were okay. I hear they have a great Brunch menu so may visit again some day.

My wife, step daughter and I went to Darian’s on a Saturday night. There was one table that was full and couple guys sitting at the bar. It took over 5 minutes for the waiter to come and take our orders. The price for half a dozen oysters was over priced and they had a sea smell which isn’t good. The waiter was rude when trying to explain the menu. What pissed me off the most was the waiter gave himself a 20% tip and labeled it large party. 3 people does not constitute large party and nothing on their menu says that. Recommend going somewhere else in the area

Passed by the restaurant this past weekend (party of 8). We were seated promptly so I’ll give them credit for that, but the food was horribly bad.Burgers were undercooked and watery…Ordered bone-in wings and they had the audacity to bring out boneless wings. I was told afterwards that they didn’t have bone-in wings. Really?The poor waitress attending to us was also attending at least 5 other tables…so we had to go inside and ordered drinks a ourselves few times.She then proceeded to leave the premises for the day without informing us. The next waiter taking care of us was not any better.Long story short, save your for the money and go elsewhere.Thanks

We love Dorlans. It is such a great neighborhood spot with great drinks, great food - especially the burger, and the nicest staff. We hosted our daughters first birthday in the Dorlans private room, and it was perfect. Would definitely recommend Dorlans. When you stop in, get the pineapple habanero margarita!

The food was great, the drinks went down smooth, and the staff was friendly. The area was chill and the music had me moving in my seat while enjoying my lunch. If I ever find myself back in NY, Ill definitely be back to stop at Dorlans. Definitely try the Mac n Cheese and the Fish and Chips!

Couple. We got their “famous” charbroiled oysters, mozzarella sticks, and some wine. Oysters are actually really good, nice sauce. But 5 for $18? Kinda underwhelming.Mozz sticks are supposedly home made but nothing special. Sav blanc wine was decent.Ok place, so 3/5. Might come back to try some more seafood items and beers.

Waitress took card to other job.I left my card and was informed that I had to be the person to pick it up with my ID due to many recent credit card thefts. I made the hour trek in to find waitresses scrambling everywhere to find my missing card. I was told they did not have it. I told them the employee’s name I spoke to, who had confirmed that very morning that my card was indeed there. They proceeded to contact her (after I had to insist, this seemed to be no big deal for them) only to find out she had taken my card with her to her other job. They gave me her number and address of her other workplace for me to go pick up. Absolutely ridiculous.i cancelled the card immediately. I have no idea who had access to my card info. This was so unprofessional on so many levels, and they did nothing to make it better. Just sent me on my way with a half hearted apology. Will never return.

The oysters were great and so was the service. Bourbon Smash to start with was good at first but didnt hold up. The basic old-fashioned came through (for two buck more). The salad...aka dressed arugula and one radish slice...was sad. I ended up dredging my fries in the dressing that remained. My steak tastes past medium-rare. As is the case in most restaurants, it was too dark to tell. All said, good place. If youre price conscious, stick to beer and a shareable, and youll be good, but the oysters were worth the extra.

Staff were friendly and accommodating. The Charbroiled oysters tasted good but were a bit salty. The fries came cold, the calamari had too much batter and was not seasoned, very bland. My husband said his sliders were good. I had the pineapple habanero margarita it was very good.

Sometimes crowded, sometimes quiet, Dorlans is a neighborhood bar that welcomes locals and tourists alike. The food is constant, the cocktails are great, and its one of the best pints of Guinness youll find in lower Manhattan.

Definitely avoid. Bartender had horrible attitude. We ordered a dozen oysters and 3 cocktails to begin with. We then had another round of wine and beers. Still attitude. We were told that they shut at 11:30. We closed our tab at 11:20 and thanked them. It turned into 11:45 and they were taking brand new orders of food AND drinks from other people while also ignoring our attempts to place another order. Horrible people. Not accommodating.

Best linguine with white clam sauce I ever had! 4 SUPER FRESH AND SWEET CLAMS with lots of fresh chopped CLAMS, NOT from a can. It is very buttery and tasty! The happy hr $13 for 1/2 dozen of fresh oysters and glass of wine or beer is an excellent deal! Overall we had great fresh seafood and great service. Well deserved a 5 star!!

My five coworkers and I (all women) requested a table for six, noting that we had others planning to join us later. White dude maître d pointed out two tables for six. We paused for a millisecond to see if there were larger tables, to accommodate the others planning to join us later. Dude quips: I dunno, with six women - are you going to be able to decide? Because, you know, women cant work together as a group to make a decision.Wont be returning.

Good place to eat near pier 17. The inside is a bit dark (a tavern) but festive. Decent selection of drinks. Food is average for a place like this. A couple small TVs by the bar.

Great after work bar. Spacious. The doors open for semi-alfresco seating at front.Complimentary popcorn ;) And the fries and calamari were delicious and crispy.
