"Doc Watson's is a useful place to know about because it works for almost any type of casual drinking situation. It’s open from noon until 4am most days, and the sidewalk seating and backyard work if you want to drink outside while the sun is still out. If, on the other hand, you want to hole up with a dark beer and drink away your sorrows while watching any New York sports team you may support, there’s a long bar and a dining room with a lot of TVs." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren, Neha Talreja

"Doc Watson’s is a bar on the Upper East Side with street seating out front, a long bar inside, and a small beer garden out back. They do a solid Happy Hour during the week until 7pm and after 11pm, along with nightly specials on bar food. On the weekends, if you’re looking to get brunch while watching sports on TV, you can get food with two drinks for $16." - Matt Tervooren

Overall a great bar with lots of seating both downstairs and upstairs, sometimes they open the back patio as well, it is super nice. The menu is extensive with lots of great options, I think the hidden gem here is the salads, I got the Cobb salad and it was great. Lots of bacon and chicken, put a little Buffalo sauce on it and you’re set. Service is thoughtful and speedy, not much to ask for from a great city bar. Come for the game or a late night munch. The Philly cheese sliders are delicious, along with roasted veggies, and the Buffalo wings.

Fresh food and fast service! The food does need a little bit of seasoning though. I came here for restaurant week with a group of friends. The food came out relatively fast and hot. Although I do believe the food could have used a bit more seasoning, it was still delicious! For the price of the food, it was definitely worth it. Everyone was full and each person had at least two to go boxes for the leftovers. I would definitely come back again.

Overall rating: 4.6 Super cute, watering hole in UES. I was in the area meeting friends and I really felt the local vibe which is hard to come by these few days. I got an espresso martini which was really good, but the sliders were OMG AMAZING. Very filling, very delicious. I was expecting the fries to be alright, but damn, they were good too! I’m so surprised for a chill bar. I wouldn’t mindddd if the prices were more reasonable, but I don’t expect anything else from eating in Manhattan. I’m not going to let the price affect how good this slider was! I recommend giving it a try if you’re in the area!

Nice brunch spot, with a fixed price of 18$ and two drinks. The food is pretty good and there’s quite a wide choice of things. It is quite clean and it’s a nice pub. Staff is nice although our waiter kept stressing us to leave (it was quite empty) I always take the avocados and toast, today was the first time that my eggs on top were over cooked, but our waiter took care of it rapidly and it was delicious as usual.

I’m glad someone recommended this place. Coz we always go to McLean avenue to get the proper Irish breakfast. This is a decent one. $22.50 for fixed brunch with 2 free drinks was a great deal! I wish they use the nicer sausages from the Irish shop butcher.

Docs is the first place I bring all my friends and family. The atmosphere is always somewhat like home. From bartender to owner, server to manager, every person makes sure you get that exact experience. The chicken curry is amazing and always tastes exactly like it does in Ireland. The Irish breakfast (or any item on the menu) is such a generous portion. I love how Docs work with local businesses and in particular Orwashers, for the tastiest focaccia to complement the steak. Every time I visit docs, I always leave happier than I went in.

Came here for New Years and it was perfect!! It was not packed at all (stinks for them) but they handed out beads, crowns, and noise makers. Was a perfect way to ring in the new year.
