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.

Fraunces Tavern is my go to NYC restaurant! It’s downtown near Wall Street and the World Trade Center, and has a ton of historical significance! It’s one of the oldest establishments in the country, and is famous because George Washington gave his farewell speech to his officers there! The food is great, fancy pub fair! All the different rooms with different themes adds a unique flair to the place. Everything from atmosphere to service to food is amazing here! You have to eat lunch or dinner at Fraunces Tavern if you are in Downtown Manhattan!

My first and only stop while in NYC. Love the beers, clam chowder and the chicken pot pie. Worth the trip just to come to my favorite restaurant in the entire city. They have a great raw oyster special too 4-7 each week day. Every time I come they have a better batch of sour beers than the time before. Will be back soon!! Liz😊

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!

Great old times vibes and superb food. We had the warm baguette, clam chowder and pear salad to start and then shared the lobster mac and cheese. The mac and cheese and chowder were the best I've ever had. I also had the predisedential punch cocktail and it was delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

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.

I visited Fraunces Tavern for lunch and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The ambience was incredible, full of historical charm, and the staff was attentive and friendly. We ordered the chicken pot and fish and chips, and both dishes were exceptional. The chicken pot was rich and flavorful, a definite highlight of the meal. The fish and chips were perfectly crispy and fresh. Overall, the combination of amazing food, friendly service, and the historic atmosphere makes this place a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Make sure to make a reservation, especially on the holidays! It was very well decorated and super cozy that's why we love it! Aside from it being a historical place.. It feels so warm going inside after walking around downtown Manhattan.. good selection of food and drinks.. and accommodating staff ❤️

I've wanted to dine at Fraunces Tavern for a very long time, and today was finally the day. This place oozes history as it's one of the oldest restaurants in New York City. The establishment is housed in one of the oldest buildings in the city, which was constructed in 1719 well before we were even the United States of America! Frances Tavern also has a museum located on the second floor that you can tour, which I did after lunch and was a lot of fun. In any event, this whole experience is a must visit NYC attraction. Oh, and I loved the duck sandwich!

An unforgettable experience at Fraunces Tavern in New York! The ambiance is truly one of a kind – you can almost feel the echoes of history with every step you take. The food was absolutely delicious, and we had the privilege of sipping on the finest whiskey I've ever tasted: Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Special Release Tennessee Whiskey. It was the perfect choice to complement the atmosphere. What makes this place even more remarkable is its rich history. Imagine being in a place older than the United States itself – it’s not just a restaurant; it’s a living piece of history. This iconic spot has even hosted past presidents, most notably George Washington, who gave his farewell address to his officers here in 1783. You can really sense the legacy and the vibe of generations past that still linger in the air. It’s a place where history and culture meet, making it unlike any other. Truly a gem in the heart of New York!

Really cool spot in the financial district. Been around since 1762 and they have done a fantastic job preserving & fostering that upscale tavern vibe. Tons of seating and 3 distinct bars to choose from, this is a fantastic place to stop, grab a drink, and vibe! Would highly recommend the Presidential Punch, Manhattan, and espresso martini. The fall drinks were okay, but their flagships are outstanding. Food wise, KILLER. Lobster Mac and Cheese is enough to feed 2 for dinner or 3-4 for an appetizer. Fantastic spot, super cool, stop in and enjoy!

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!
