Fraunces Tavern

A tavern with lots of history, come check this place out. Love the way it’s left as if we are still in the Washington days. The selection of beer here is gigantic, the booze it’s all over! The ambiance was just right… The service is good, the waitress was helpful and friendly. The food was good. I will come back here again to keep trying the beers they offer. Clean spot, come check it out!

This place was super cool if you like history. My head was turning in all directions just looking at all of the history. Every room is amazing and you feel like George Washington is going to come around the corner. We only stopped in for a drink and a snack. We mostly wanted to see the place. We tried the scotch egg and it was probably one of the best I’ve tried. Usually they are kind of dry but this one was moist, cooked well and had a great flavor. Our server was better than most NY servers we’ve experienced on our trip. She actually talked to us, made good recommendations and returned to see how we were doing. She even told us they have live music and we should come back. Overall it was a nice experience and I bet it would be a fun place to hangout if I were a local.

Honestly, I loved just about everything about Fraunces. The history alone is incredible, but I really wasn't expecting the food and experience to be so fantastic. I had my first Scotch egg which was delicious. We had the fish and chips (fries) and a rustic spicy chorizo sandwich. We also tried the Truffle Parmesan Fries which were outstanding. They had a live jazz quartet that sounded amazing and, quite frankly, jazz is not my favorite. We went because of the connection to Alexander Hamilton, but I'd return for the food and atmosphere alone!

My wife, myself and another couple had the pleasure of having dinner and drinks at Fraunces Tavern in the piano bar section on Thursday September 29, 2022. The atmosphere was magical and as a history major I was thrilled to be in the building. Our food was delicious and the drinks were perfect. The pianist accepted requests and she and her sister were fantastic!!! They sounded like they had just left a Broadway stage or a recording studio. Based on our experience, I strongly recommend going for dinner, drinks and enjoy being in a historic site that dates back to before our nation was born.

Very interesting place indeed. Rooms have so much going on that you can spend hours just looking around. Neat whiskey room. Food was fairly good. Service was great. Purple mashed potatoes with pistachios were very good.

We booked ahead for a Friday evening dinner when visiting New York. We were fortunate to get a nice window seat in the dining area for two. The ambiance was "good to loud", with maybe a few other guests slightly louder than necessary but we were fortunate to not be seated next to them. Service was fine, but if we're honest it was sometimes a little disjointed, seemed the waiters were spread a little thin sometimes. The food though was brilliant, and we were very impressed and pleased with our choices. For this reason alone, we'd return when we are next in NYC.

Ambiance and character abound. Great music, great depth in the drink menu. The staff was attentive but not pushy. They were uniformly polite and authentic. I was underwhelmed by the food. My Ruben was so so. The fries with truffles were amazing, but the Mac and cheese was simply boring. Go for the music, go for the drinks, go for great service. I would not go out of my way for the food.

Steeped in history and conveniently located in the heart of Wall Street, Fraunces Tavern is worth a visit for the atmosphere alone. The dining area has quite a lot of character and the food is alright, if a bit pricy for what you get. 2 apps and 2 mains quickly added up. Service is quick and good. Their bar area had quite the selection and was very lively. Overall, I’d probably recommend this place more for a drink than for dinner.
