My spouse and I visited
Doylers Irish Pub (also called Doylers 37 NYC) on a Sunday evening in mid-February 2020. Doylers is open
daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as for late night drinks and
light bites. Patrons can reserve a spot using the online Open Table reservation
system.
Doylers is located on West
37th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues in
Midtown South/Garment District. It is part of the Hilton Garden Inn building
(with access directly from the lobby) and is situated on the same block/side of
the street as the Homewood Suites (where we stayed, but which did not have its
own restaurant except for its complimentary breakfast buffet) and across the
street from the Marriott Courtyard. The main dining area offers lounge space
with low seating, an attractive bar, high-top seating against the windows (to
the HGI lobby), and regular-height table seating between. In the warmer months,
al fresco dining is available on a rear courtyard patio, and we could see a
middle room that probably seats overflow customers. The bar/restaurant even has
a baby grand piano and occasional live entertainment. The minimalist décor
creates a clean, contemporary feel.
Doylers serves continental
and Irish cuisine. We shared the cheesesteak sliders (with onions and peppers and
served three to an order) followed by the “bread-and-butter pudding” dessert
(served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and dollops of whipped cream). The
Irish bartender provided great table service and seemed to really care about creating
a good experience for his customers.
Doylers Irish Pub fit the
bill when we were looking for a quick late-night snack before returning to our nearby
hotel.
