Dorrian's Red Hand (NYC)

Historic. Cozy. Incredible service, particularly for a pub (shout out to EVERYONE who works there). Feels like home. Great pub food. Never misses. Bonus points for being the NYC home base for Washington Commanders fans.

Great place to unwind after a long day in the city. Great food and atmosphere, our server was very helpful and provided great recommendations for drinks that evening.

Horrible manager, started yelling not to take pictures, rude, insolent person. This is the first time I've ever seen a person yell like that after I made dinner at this restaurant. There was no camera, we just wanted to take a picture on our phone with my friend. He hates women, he has no right to talk to guests like that. Fire him or reprimand him. I live right next to your restaurant, I will never come here again.

I went to Dorian‘s. My experience was good. I had no issues. I’m not much of a drinker so I didn’t do the bar thing, but I did have the food and it was quite delicious. The environment is very nice, but I hear and read a lot of complaints about security, putting hands on people. Just remember guys security guards are there to deter, Detect, and report. If any guard puts hands on a a customer, that customer has a right to call the police and press assault and battery charges on the Security guard. Security officers do not have the right to put hands on anyone according to the department of state regulations. Get better trained guards and watch out for lawsuits. I have 3 pending, and if a security guard in any venue in NY touches me they’ll be a 4th against the guard and a 5th against the establishment. Know your rights guys. Don’t let nobody disrespect you.

Great establishment that’s been a NYC staple for the very young bar crowd. Definitely an NYC staple. Bartenders are all friendly and lit up with A LOT. Yet never come off overwhelmed and always smiling. Highly recommend whether it be once or regular.

Local comfortable and friendly pub offering a decent food menu. We enjoyed a very good cobb salad (egg was boiled perfectly!) and the grilled chicken sandwich and fries. Attentive and friendly service from the bartender. I can't comment on the night or sports scene, but for a beer and local pub food you can enjoy the warm atmosphere and decent eats!

Dorrian’s Red Hand was a great place to catch the games on Sunday. Enjoyed two pitchers of beer, chicken nachos and chicken tenders. Service was good, food was good and everything was reasonably priced. Best part, great mirrors to snap a quick selfie so your followers in the gram know you’re out supporting someone from your alma mater starting in their first NFL game.

Love their menu and the food they serve here! Awesome selection of finger food. Also a lovely atmosphere especially when events are occurring.

Not many restaurants remain from the 2Oth century when I lived on the upper east side. (Makes me sound ancient, doesn't it?!). My eyes lit up when I saw Dorrian's. While nostalgia lured me in, tonight's dinner will bring me back. T's Guinness burger was fat and juicy, cooked exactly as requested (medium rare, leaning towards rare). Great fries, too! My Cobb salad with homemade ranch dressing, was filling and good. The 6 minute boiled egg was a nice touch. The bar was hopping when I lived there. And it still is. I used to frequent Dorrian's for brunch with my girlfriends. For scientific research (lol) I'll have to see if their bloody Mary's and brunch still measure up!

Not my favorite place in the neighborhood though it has been around for ages and is pretty much a staple on the Upper east side. Whenever I have come here which is not often the waiter / waitress has always been not the nicest and a bit rude. They have a big outdoor area that takes up some of the block. They have indoor seating and a private room too. This bar attracts alot of younger people in the neighborhood. So if you like or are in that bracket then this is your place! I have not had the food here but from what I have seen it looks like good bar food.

Came here for brunch during non-football season and the vibes were chill. Sometimes I just want to escape from the typical NY brunch spots. This place might be my go-to on the UES. French onion soup - quite good. 4/5 Brunch burger - felt like it needed some type of sauce or my fault for ordering it medium well. 3.5/5

Went here last night (a Wednesday). Would recommend only coming here for drinks on a Friday or Saturday night when you are out on the Upper East Side. Solid drinks and not horribly priced. There are equally good spots elsewhere though Food and service was quite terrible. The main waitress was nice but didn't write anything down, so everything came out wrong. The other waiter with a mustache and black glasses was just straight rude. Also tossed plates onto the table like he was pissed off at us. We ordered the following: Chicken Caesar Salad - came out without chicken... Buffalo Chicken Wrap - ordered without tomato and with ranch on the side. Came with tomato and no ranch Chicken Caesar Wrap - ordered with Buffalo sauce inside. No Buffalo sauce in there. We also counted an actual THREE little chicken cubes. It was all lettuce and TONS of croutons Buffalo Wings - these didn't come out wrong but we're among the worse wings I've had in the city. No flavor, sauce was thin, more crisp than chicken on the wings. They were definitely semi burnt before getting tossed in sauce This place needs to do better

One of my favorite restaurants in New York I love their egg McMuffins and their beer is always cold great service and the bouncers are always looking out after me & my people i recommend this spot

Apps were truly very good, mozz sticks, chicken fingers etc. Mains were not - very dry chicken, took quite a while to arrive. Some drinks were wrong. And we arrived at 2:45p for brunch only to be told that it ended at 2p, despite the menu saying 3p ‍

Sports/neighborhood bar on UES which looks to be for the Metropolitan crowd. Food was a bit disappointing. I had a burger and fries. Next time, I'd go to JG Melon instead. Service was good. Lots of TVs if you're looking for a spot to view sports.

Best Washington Commanders bar outside of DC Metro, and they play "Hail to the Redskins"! Bartenders are solid, great apps, solid burgers, and surprisingly good pizza-

I ordered a pie with peppers and french fries. It was excellent and not expected being that this place is a bar as well. People in the know realize this place has history, from Ny Yankees in the past coming here as well as celebrities. I had been here in the late 90's and the layout seems different but this is kinda one of the last "neighborhood" bars and classic joints left, that has a lot of history and authenticity. I don't really drink anymore or go to bars much, but if I did, this is a great spot. The bartender or server who i dealt with was very friendly.

I had an amazing time watching the redskins at the Dorian's I recommend the wings ask mike for the special sauce on the wings and the staff was nothing but generous and kind definitely a staple to stop inn for and a special shout out to mike and Tom who made my experience that much more fun.

Dorrians is my favorite bar in NYC. They play awesome music, always have the game on and the bouncers are really protective and genuinely good guys. I was being harassed by an older man relentlessly and the bouncers without a questions escorted the man out. I love Dorrians!!!!!!!!! And Sutton Stracke goes there

Came here for drinks with a group of friends. The outdoor seating area extends very far down the street they setup on and there are two TV screens setup with sports. They make you order food if you want to sit at a table. We only wanted drinks so we bought a mandatory $1 slider (because executive orders), and drank on the sidewalk, watching some sports, and whatnot before deciding it was better to just chill at the apartment. Service I have to say was very good. The bartenders and wait staff are super talkative and friendly, jokes around a lot. Would mind being back maybe once we can go back to living a normal life.

Bar for kids and they rip you off with drinks! Ordered two vodka sodas and the overweight bartender who I'm guessing was either the mgr or maybe the owner gave such a sad pour that I had to say something. I used to bartend....So a long pour is when a bartender starts pouring alcohol into the glass then pulls the bottle high up in the air making a long stream that LOOKS like a lot of alcohol. If you see a bartender doing this...they are screwing you and you should ask for more alcohol or another drink/bartender! This sad joke of a "bartender" not only long poured but he didn't even bring the bottle high up in the air. He poured for maybe a second. Like barely any alcohol at all! So when I complained and said you just long poured me, there's no alcohol in those drinks. He immediately started arguing and angrily defended his pathetic bartending skills! My friend said don't bother arguing, so I gave my card. he continued to make a sour face and say things that I couldn't even hear. As he looked over at me, I complained to my friend and mimicked the long pour, explaining how they're ripping us off. The guy turns back and said forget it, you guys are out of here. He took the drink right out of my friends mouth and took my drink and poured them into the sink, and then had the bouncer throw us out. This sad, morbidly obese man should be cleaning the freaking toilets! He's clearly not a regular bartender with his very large gut and clueless bartending skills! Lots of other bars in the city... Avoid this one at all costs!

A pretty standard NYC pub. Prices are the usual for the UES. I ordered the "classic reuben" after asking the bartender if it came on rye bread, which he said it did - it was fine, but definitely not classic. It came on white bread, had mustard instead of thousand island, and I was charged $2 extra (not mentioned on the menu or by the bartender) bc I had the temerity to ask for salad instead of fries. And don't expect a buyback if you're not a regular. This would've been a 2-star review, but the classic rock playlist was on point.

(Stereo)Typical sports bar, however, they haven't wised up yet that women also like to go to bars and think they can get away with horrible rude service (specifically the Monday bartender). As a former bar owner, I know how important a welcoming environment is. At least I can sleep better knowing that guy is getting sh*tty tips for his attitude. The other detail that tells a little about the kind of place this is is the vintage/antique black racist figurines flanking one of the shelves behind the bar. (I looked out for them after reading another yelp review) This would have been a 2 star review but we had a friendly female server once we went to a table. Chicken tenders were really flavorful and recommended. We also had nachos, wings, and mozzarella sticks and all were fine. I wouldn't order the wings again unless there is a buffalo sauce. The sweet sauce on ours was not my favorite. Beware of flat draft beer. Bartender tried to tell my friend the beer is meant to be that way when I know it really means it's the end of the keg! Probably isn't the worst sports bar you can go to but I also won't be returning as there are better ones that cater to a more diverse audience and are more friendly (and with a better beer selection).

Anyone within a five block radius should avoid this place if they ever want anything but peace and quiet in their life. Summer or winter. The owners don't give a shit and I sympathize with anyone closer than me. Avoid renting between 82nd and 85th between 2nd and 3rd Ave.

Ya gotta try it once. If ya do, you'll try it again. This well-regarded Upper East Side sports bar is a pleasure of good drink, good food, good people, good cheer. Delicious, fair-priced burgers, salads, steaks, Shepherd's pie, pot pie, bangers and mashed. An added delight -- the Q line's 86th St. station at Second Ave. Opened in 2017, the station features the longest escalator ride in the city and several massive ceramic versions of Chuck Close's famous photorealist portraits of artists and friends.

There are three days every tax accountant looks forward to more than Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even their birthdays. April 15, September 15, and October 15 aka tax deadline days! I had a client picnic on the last deadline day. We started off at Central Park and relocated to this place for a Happy Hour with some of people on the client side. The EA of the client used to work here and said this place was poppin'. However, this place is not foreign to me, I have some girl friends, just like many single ladies in NYC, that look for places to find men. According to them, this place is where a lot of financiers go for a post work happy hour. When I got here, I knew why. It is such a bro-ish spot where people can eat, drink, and watch whatever game their hearts desire. The day I went, it was the Yankee's game (kill me now...). So while we were watching the game, we ordered food, drinks, and more drinks. Two managers were dropping their cards so I decided to try whatever I wanted to for the sake of this review. Soft pretzels: VERY hot but delicious. I am a sucker for a good soft pretzel and runny cheese. Wish I didn't have to share, but I didn't order it so I had to share. Nothing out of the ordinary, but nonetheless good. Wings: They have BBQ and hot wings. I only tried the hot wings, but it was delicious. Saucy and spicy. I'm a fan! Nachos: Lots of cheese both melted and runny. No other flavor and pretty bland. Not really a fan. Clam chowder: Wow! One of the best I've had. I hit it with some black pepper. It was really yummy. Wish there were some oyster crackers or something, but the soup was super good. Could have used chunkier clams though. It is definitely something I will be craving one of these days. Drinks: your typical bar booze. We had the pleasure of getting free Absolute Vodka because there was a rep so that was fun. My overall assessment of this place is that it is what it seems to be. It is a place for people to gather around, be men, and do men things. I am not sure how accurate my girl friends are about this place being a good place to find men though... This place is nothing extraordinary, but I get why people like this place. Maybe I'll go to see a Patriots game (and half of Manhattan rolled over).

This is my first Yelp review, but I simply have to share. In May, my daughter and I were in NYC for a wedding. Long story short, my daughter was at the after party at Dorian's Red Hat and lost her purse. We called a couple times and they said it wasn't in the lost and found. We went there to look and the server, Ava, showed us the lost and found-no luck. As we were about to leave, Ava walked out from behind with the purse! She totally made my daughter feel better about the night before and her understanding words changed the entire vibe of our trip! Not only was the service over the top wonderful, but the food was excellent as well! We will definitely be stopping on our next trip to NYC!

A solid hang out with good bar food. I had the fish and chips which were ok overall. Good fries but the fish was not the best. A great place to hang out but not for an amazing meal. If you are looking for a place to hang out definitely check this place out.

I think this place is as good as any other bar nearby, but is more of a staple in the local community. They've got Tuesday night karaoke, but the bar is generally very dark after 9:30 (probably to encourage more romantic activities?). The food seemed okay although we were only able to comment on the breakfast burger. Burger was cooked medium well, it was hot and juicy and nice poached egg on top with the English muffin looked like it worked well. Service was A+, but would be great if they had a drink menu, or at least could update the board with beers available. Would be great if they had some actually interesting drinks like every other bar in Manhattan, and would be cool if they stocked up on craft beer. Provide a good reason for coming here, and people will come, IMO

We are local to the UES, and Dorrians has been an amazing staple to the neighborhood for a long time. There is a reason for it. They hosted my daughter's baptism brunch (~14 people) in their side cafe area. Jimmy was so accommodating with beginning plans, and getting things situated. Our server Evan was so wonderful, incredibly attentive, as was Michael. Cannot recommend them enough. Just an overall fun, casual, and local establishment that doesn't disappoint.

Love this place. Great drinks, great fries, and I love the Buffalo chicken wrap. Service is excellent!

Wow! Amazing Brussel Spouts! Can't wait to come visit after the Tom Kelly Show Podcast talked about this restaurant with such fun and excitement. Always looking for great Bar food in NYC! See you soon!

Cool spot for drinks and to hang out. They open up the restaurant for a dance floor which they play some cool music, 80's, 90's, rock. Things you can dance to. Then you have a bar in the back with a much more cooler tone. Always a good time here.

The burger came burn. Not taste. And with old English muffin..so disappointed . The extremely rude waitress. when I complained she laughed ironically. said it's on the menu and that's how we made the humburger. I told the waitress you should have told me it came with an English muffin. On the menu says classic burger. She replied that's how we do it and we can't do anything you didn't liked. She was acting I don't care that you didn't like it. I had to talk with security person to changed my plate. He is very kind and polite. I ask to speak with the manager. And he didn't come. Came the same waitress. saying the manager was busy. And that they would not charge for the dish. I just wanted another dish. chicken wings. I couldn't eat in the first bite. Next came the manager Very rude yelling Saying you don't have to pay and you were rude to my employee never come back here. And the other waiter said go away. And the waitress laughed with satisfaction. I never saw something like that. Very disappointed. I used to go there and they usually very polite. But this server Emily was in a bad mood because she was working on Sunday night. Don't justify. But the manager was the worst .

I heard about you guys on the TomKellyShow I can't wait to visit next time I need a great new restaurant in the area

Anyone giving less than 5 stars is taking themselves too seriously or thinks they are a NY Times Food critic or stingy. The place is great for what it is. The place feels like it's been there for 100 years but it's clean and fresh. It's a old-fashioned looking bar with upscale bar food. It's a place to get together with friends. The older American flags respectfully draped are a big plus. Outdoor seating. A mix of customers young and old. I've gone with people aged 25 to 75. The place felt like a more lively Cheers. The buffalo chicken wrap is amazing. The Brussel Sprouts (ordered as an appetizer) were amazing. For bar food and drinks the place is well above average! Again, this is a bar with great food. You're going to catch up with friends. We saw some people in the outdoor section on dates. Good spot for people watching.

I went to Dorrians the other night to have a drink with a friend and watch the US open. Immediately upon arrival, the bartender and staff were a little cold but we chalked it up to it being busy. Through the rest of our time there we noticed how friendly the bartender was with other patrons, most of which were preppy frat boys and their sorority counterparts, but anytime we asked him for anything at all, it was a quick switch to being stony and cold. That would have been enough for me to not come back but as my friend as I were getting ready to leave, the decor on the bars shelves caught my eye, and I realized that they had a couple of little jigaboo looking figurines scattered around the shelf as memorabilia. If you don't know what that is, it's a racist black face style caricature of the Jim Crow era. I was almost awestruck that a bar would so proudly display it or something even remotely close to it so I asked the bartender if he could get it from the shelf and show it to me to see it's details. He refused and said something along the lines of it being 'delicate memorabilia.' I knew nothing about Dorrians before stepping foot in there but now that I've read some of the previous reviews and their treatment of Black patrons, this place is very proudly racist and even cornier than your average frat house. I will never ever dream of going back and if you have any self respect, you shouldn't either. Bonus: People at the place we went to right after leaving Dorrians knew exactly which place we were discussing without us having to even say the name. Leading me to realize that this place has a strong reputation in the neighborhood. How is this crummy little place even running with that kind of nasty notoriety?? I think the UES can do better.

Place does not let me in past the hour of 11pm unless you have an equal amount of women to "fix the ratio" Bouncer was very rude and told my group (during my BACHELOR party) to get lost. Will not come back. Ever.

Went in to pick up an online order and the restaurant was completely empty. When my order came out I was told "I couldn't eat it there." Which to say the least perplexed me because it was 2:00 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. Racism is still alive and well on the upper east side and it's Restaurants.

I've been here before for drinks. I know a regular and the crowd is kind. But this time... Random weekend early dinner. Super close, easy menu, full bar. YES PLEASE. This place is a Washington Redskins bar, if you're from DC *points you self* yes please. Feels good to have a home team bar so close. They remove the windows during the summer and also leave the air on. It's quite comfortable, like riding in a convertible, top down, air blasting. The menu is small but the choices are great. The steak was tasty, as we're the fish and chips. The sauce that comes with the fish is really good. Service is decent, it was empty, so she had time. I'll be back again for sure. Add a frozen drink machine...

Greetings, much like service and your food order are not something you would receive here. We ordered a pizza with basil, cheese, and sauce and got no basil. We ordered French fries, and they didn't come with the pizza since they had forgotten them. There was my date, gluten intolerant and hungry for a while, yet neglected by this establishment. There we were, waiting 30 minutes between being checked on to get refills. Luckily, there we will not be again.

Home away from home. They've done a great job with the outdoor setup during the pandemic

Heard about you guys on the Tom Kelly Show! I will have to stop by and try out this amazing place!

You know when you go to a restaurant, and you aren't sure what you want to eat, so you ask the server what their favorite dish is? We came here for brunch and it was kind of like that, except there was some miscommunication where we tried to order meals and an hour and a half later a bunch of incorrect dishes came out. Sure I ordered eggs, but I appreciate your suggestion that I should have gotten a burger, and I also appreciate that you just brought out literally six extra burgers for our group despite only one person ordering one. By the end we were all just eating random dishes, with no relation to what we actually ordered. Terrible, terrible job. I assume most families don't actually come here to eat food, but if that was your plan you should definitely make a new one. 1/10.

Really comfortable place to get warm when it is cold out. Good drinks, great service. Food looks really good, but still haven't eaten here yet.

This place was terrible on both tries. I first came here for brunch and honestly I wasn't expecting much based on what I saw online. Yet they still managed to fall far from the mark. The server was very nice but she was clearly overwhelmed, I don't know if they were short on people or the manager was trying to save on labor but they needed more servers. The same issue with the kitchen it seemed. Our food took 55 minutes to come out and was not enjoyable at all. I then decided to give it another chance and came in for drinks another night. We were met with rude bouncers at the door (typical so I wasn't going to let it affect my night). Once we got in the atmosphere was terrible muscled our way to the bar and eventually got a drink after 15 minutes of standing there while the bartender talked with what I assumed were his regulars since he took a shot with them. Drinks were over priced, 32$ for 2 tequila soda? We took our 16$ well tequilas and found a spot with a little space to stand. Not sure if that was supposed to be an employee lane that should be kept clear or something (there were no markings and it was near a wall so no halls or anything) but the bouncers kept shoving us very hard and repeatedly as they walked past without saying anything. On the final time they shouldered through my friend he said "excuse me?" the bouncer then turned and said "oh yea? you're out. move it!" then proceeded to take out drinks from our hands and basically dragged us out. Not one good thing from this place.

Came after being rained out of a baseball game. I see a lot of reviews here mentioning frat boys. As we were here on a Monday evening after the end of the college school year proper, I can't comment on that. I ordered the mac and cheese which was actually really good. Our server was pretty slow, and kept bringing drinks to our table (of about 12 people) and not knowing where the drink was going. I probably won't be back. I'm not in the area often and if I am, I'll probably try to find a better restaurant. Not that I had a particularly negative experience.

I've been here twice and both times the place was mostly empty and the service was slow. The people that seemed to consistently come here really enjoyed it. I'd say Dorrian's is okay at best

Nice clean restaurant with a neat sports bar. The service I get here is always excellent, I feel like I am treated like family when I am here. I just love their cocktail menu here. They have a huge variety of drinks, their regular menu for food is nice as well. I often find myself ordering their Brussels spouts and Fish and Chips, both entrees are delicious and consistently good.

A nice sports bar with a cool cocktail menu and food if your feeling it. The cocktails here are cheap, they have beers and martinis going for five bucks during happy hour! The food isn't so bad as well. I often go for the Maui Maui fish or the clubhouse chicken. This is a really neat place that deserves better business!

This is a cool place to hang out and get together with some friends. The bar is old fashioned giving the place a cool atmosphere. The cocktails here are cheap but can pack a punch. I don't usually order food here but when I do I get the Fish and Chips. The service is always up to par and the food is consistently delicious. Come check this place out if you haven't already!

Extremely rude business with the music so loud im surprised anyone leaves with their hearing intact as they violate several city noise laws

I came here with about 10 people on a Saturday afternoon for some drinks. The place was relatively empty so we had no trouble ordering a few beers at the bar and sitting down. It is a casual bar that is fairly large and a great place to hang out. The beers were great and the waitress was also wonderful and kept coming back to check on us. Unfortunately we had just eaten a large brunch, so I can't comment on what the food is like here. The vibe is probably also different when coming here at night. Overall I enjoyed this bar and would come back on another day of causal hanging out and drinking!

First time at this neighborhood spot. I have to say if I could give 6 stars I would! Kevin and Max behind the bar are not only excellent skilled bartenders, but they are now my favorite therapists, fashionistas, and divorce attorneys! Mike is also extremely warm and welcoming. Amazing buffalo chicken wraps and chocolate cake :)

Let me set the scene for you: it's Sunday night at 9 PM in September. The bar and restaurant is pretty packed. On the big screen, they have the US Open Championship match on with sound and several other TVs playing football. Lots of tennis fans in the house cheering on Nadal and buying drinks. One white guy in a Redskins jersey (this is a Redskins bar, mind you, but they played at 1 PM earlier in the day) gets up in front of the entire bar and lobbies to turn off tennis and put football on the big screen. The crowd ignores the guy in the jersey, who is obviously very intoxicated, and continues to watch the rest of the tennis match. As the night goes on, I see the drunk guy and his friend now move from a table to the bar. He seems to be friends with the bartender, as he is getting drinks faster than anyone else is. After seeing him make a lewd gesture toward a female earlier in the night, I am keenly aware of this guy at this point in the evening. The tennis match ends, and the bar clears out significantly. (Turns out people actually do like tennis but that is besides the point.) As this guy continues to drink at the bar, I notice he is getting close to a woman at the bar who is watching football and minding her own business. She also seems like she has been drinking, but is not doing anything other than watching the TV with her back to the guy. I counted a number of times the man at the bar came physically in contact with the woman who asked him repeatedly to stop and leave her alone. This was directly in front of both the bartender and the manager. I am seated in the back of the restaurant and can see all of this unfold as the bar has grown more quiet. The man keeps antagonizing the woman to the point that she gets up and has words with the man, again asking him to stop touching her and leave her alone. It's at this point that the bartender and the manager ask HER to leave the bar. She is escorted out and the manager closes the door behind her. I use the restroom and try to understand what I've just seen. The woman did not appear to have done anything wrong and furthermore, the guy had been causing trouble with several patrons in the hour and a half I'd been there watching all of this go down. It didn't make any sense. I decided to ask the manager, who happened to be the same person that sat us down at our table, what had happened so I could piece it all together. The conversation went as follows: Me: "Hi. Are you the manager here?" Manager: "Yes." Me: "Just curious but...why did that woman get kicked out?" Manager: "She was intoxicated. She was biting her nails. She came in intoxicated and she had to leave." Me: "Ok. I can't speak to if she was intoxicated or not but I did just want to point out that I saw the guy in the Redskins jersey repeatedly touch her when she asked him to stop. He is also very clearly intoxicated and he was not asked to leave." Manager: "I didn't see him do that. I just got here 30 mins ago." (Note: this was, as you will read above, the same guy who sat us at our table 90 minutes ago, so this was in fact, a lie.) Me: "Okay, maybe you didn't see it, but I watched the bartender watch it happen, and I am also telling you, as a customer, that I watched it happen, and unwanted advances to women are not okay. I also then heard the bartender make a racial slur as the woman was kicked out of the bar. He said...'I don't know what the hell she was..maybe Colombian?" Manager: "No... I asked my bartender if she was Indian and he responded maybe she was Colombian." Me: "What should that matter? Why would you need to know her ethnicity? Is that why you would kick someone out of the bar?" Manager: (growing angry now with what he knows I heard): "No...I see what you're trying to do here. She was intoxicated and we asked her to leave. She came in that way and I haven't been watching this man. Now that you've pointed this out I will watch him." Me: "I've seen you watching these interactions. I've seen this man be disrespectful to several people and women specifically multiple times tonight (including my table, where he made inappropriate gestures after the woman was kicked out, which I immediately shut down.) I haven't seen you take any action with this man. He's on your watch now." At this point, we leave the bar. I am at a loss of what to do as I clearly was not getting through to the manager or bartender, who both seem like sexists and possibly racists (did I mention this is a Redskins bar... talk about a racially insensitive franchise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) So what do I do? I write this Yelp review hoping it will help steer at least one person away from eating their shitty food, drinking their flat beer, and witnessing their toxic masculinity in person like I had to. The Q train now runs on 2nd ave. There are PLENTY of other places to take your dollar on the Upper East Side. Go elsewhere. Go literally anywhere else. This place royally fucking sucks.

I'll admit it. I'm a creep. I only came to Dorrian's Red Hand because of the bar's connection to the infamous "Preppy Killer". Turns out it's a totally decent place to grab a beer and some pub food on the UES. Very chill during the day but turns into a crazy singles bar/night club after dark. I was traveling alone and sat at the bar. The bartender (a handsome NYFD hopeful) made easy conversation without being overly chatty. Overall a satisfying experience, and I didn't even get murdered!

The manager or bartender said "we're trying to get more Spanish people to come here" to my girlfriend in an effort to hit on her. Then asked if she wanted to go have a drink as we both awkwardly laughed at him. We were pretty offended. He was a creep.
