New York City: Doylers Irish Pub (February 2020)



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.
