We reserved for an afternoon meal. We loved the atmosphere. We ordered hamburgers. They were generous portions with great flavour. Just two small things. I had to waive our server down whenever we needed something. I prefer to have an attentive server. And while the atmosphere is fun, it is loud. That's more just a heads up for others going.

Historic building with a warm and comforting atmosphere. Started with cocktails at their Whiskey Bar served by a very knowledgeable and friendly bartender, shoutout to Oscar. Moved to the main Dining Room for a very fresh and delicious Chicken Pot Pie. Food was good and reasonably priced. Service was friendly. Great place for a family meal after a day of touristing... Take a short stroll to Battery Park afterwards.

We absolutely loved our time here for lunch. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The history in this building is wonderful to see as well. I was happy with the bathroom, which in older buildings can sometimes be a bit scary. Lol We ordered the Mac & Cheese with bacon(+3) to split for an appetizer. Yum. Then, I ordered the Pomelo Spritz cocktail. It was light, refreshing, delicious, and exactly what I needed. For entrees, we ordered the Skirt Steak Frites and the Jefferson Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken. It was all cooked perfectly and definitely hit the spot after our long morning of walking and sightseeing. We would return again without hesitation! Thank you!

We were in NYC to prepare for the bicentennial kickoff of Lafayette’s return to America celebrations and got surprised to lunch at the Tavern. It was an experience. The building is a part of history and is breathtaking. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable! You can walk around and explore the historic site which is great for history nerds like myself and for families. The menu is diverse for all food preferences as well. Bravo for that at an historic tavern! It’s a must see experience.

Visited the pub and museum (upstairs) for July 4. Historic tavern and oldest operating pub (and oldest continuously standing building) in NYC. For a while, it housed the predecessors of the State, Treasury, and Defense Departments. Had the house ale which was $9 plus tax. Didn't eat anything there as there was no table seating available (it was crowded on July 4). Experience a piece of history!
