    Fraunces Tavern is a must-visit destination. I celebrated my birthday here knowing from previous visits the food and service is great - in addition to the wonderful history. We always order the fabulous large pretzel and chicken pot pie!

    Such a historic place to eat - in the same room that George Washington ate! Very nice historical detail, nice menu, serving staff were really friendly and attentive. We will definitely be go back again. There are a couple of parking garages pretty close by (the usual NYC prices, of course), plus street parking. The museum upstairs is very nice, also good small gift shop. Other museums nearby too (e.g., Native American Museum) plus very close to Battery Park, Ferry to Statue of Liberty, etc.

    Una de las mejores experiencia que yo he vivido en un Restaurante, siempre estará en mi corazón porque fue el lugar que escogí para comprometerme con mi novia, el servicio estuvo 10/10, la música en vivo estuvo increíble y hace que el espacio sea más romántico. Si de verdad andas buscando un lugar con historia, romántico, buen servicio y privado está es la mejor opción. ❤️

    It was absolutely exhilarating for this history buff to have been able to have dinner and a drink where George Washington and other patriots from the revolutionary war sat. Highly recommend

    Supposedly the oldest bar in the US, the food is pretty good, way better than presumed "bar food" category. We enjoyed our visit, although the time for the wait for food may be a bit above average.
