Draught 55

I’ve been here a few times and absolutely love the espresso martinis, some of the best I’ve had! They also have a great variety of beers to choose from. The vibe is always lively with a great playlist, and the staff is top notch! The manager she is super attentive , the bartenders always make me feel welcome. It’s always a great time here Highly recommend it !

This place is fab. Away from the tourists. A great selection off beer wine and cocktails. And an amazing atrium. Ernesto is a wonderful barman. We will return

Food was great - we got the restaurant week menu. Caesar salad, fish n chips, and lemon tart - so yummy, fried food was bomb, and the salad was huge (im obsessed). Music was a bit loud but got used to it. Friendly staff. Happy hour til 8pm! Realized I was charged for an extra beer I didn’t receive. Not a problem, I’ll just have to go back sometime.

The wings and burgers were great ,the onion soup was okay the house drink wouldn’t recommend. The service was something else I waited 10 mins for a table or to be spoken to. The place was empty but I couldn’t find a host or a server. My server wasn’t to be seen ,she couldn’t be bothered. Everyone at the establishment couldn’t be bothered.

Draught 55 is a very spacious bar in the Midtown East area which not only has a back space but ALSO a downstairs which is perfect for private parties. The service is fantastic and the staff were very friendly. The counter bar itself is very long so if you don't want to grab a table, the bar is a great option. Fun detail: they have tons of fun old black and white pictures hanging throughout the establishment.

I recently held a private birthday party in the Atrium room and was absolutely blown away! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience - the room was stunning beyond belief (I bought all these decorations and didn’t need to hang anything because the room itself was so pretty)! Everyone commented on how delicious and plentiful the food was. The room provided for such a cozy, lovely atmosphere. Kevin and the rest of the staff were a pleasure to work with and helped make my birthday perfect! Highly recommend booking a private event there.

I stopped by this place for a drink and really enjoyed the classic Western vibe. The wine prices were very reasonable, making it a great spot to relax and unwind. I'll definitely be back for more!

Awesome place to spend time after the long work week with friends on Friday) Great choices of beer with a good price and solid taste. A little bit noisy but it was Friday evening. Happy Hours is a plus

Hard to believe there's a place with prices this good in midtown. I'm shooketh. $15 lunch specials which include a complementary draught beer from 11am to 4pm and then a crazy happy hour with $10 margaritas from 4-8pm. I got the Guinness burger. There's something very special about the fries, they're garlic flavored and seasoned. I sat at the bar, tender wasn't the friendliest but the flavorful food and prices absolutely made up for it. The portions are also gigantic? Go!! Ohh and the pickles have this fresh and sweet flavor, very unique and thinly sliced. They should take off the Greek parts of their menu, let's stick with the Irish pub theme that my kin can remain proud of!!

This place was cool. We picked it because my son is a very picky eater and he specifically wanted chicken tenders on this particular night so we found a place nearby that had chicken tenders on the menu and Draught 55 came up in a decent walking distance from our hotel. Our waiter was kind impatient and offered great insight into the menu. The parents weren't that hungry so we ended up going wit with the pretzel bites as an appetizer and then doing the cheeseburger slider and chicken tender kids meals. I ordered the cheeseburger slider with the sweet potato fries. The sliders were great the sweet potato fries were just OK. The regular fries were yummy, as were the chicken tenders. I closed the night with an espresso martini because Mama needed to pick me up and it was good.

No frills neighborhood pub with excellent selection of craft beers and pretty decent food. We found that it was a good choice for a casual lunch. It's not easy to find meals that are both affordable and tasty. Friendly service and never too crowded so you don't have to shout when having a conversation.

Stopped here after bar hopping. We decided to make this our last stop since it was close to our hotel. We got greeted and were shown our seat. However, after that the same person that seated us was just chatting it up with his buddy without asking us what we wanted or give us a menu for about 10min. So we just got a drink, chugged it and tried to leave ASAP but even the check took forever.

Drought 55 is one of my favorite spots in Midtown East, I love the vibe, the beer selection, and location. I've also hosted events there and they were both accommodating and helpful. My favorite thing here is trying a flight and discovering a new beer. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

Ehh, been here a few times so figured it would be safe. Got the chicken sliders app and onion rings. The sliders were a disaster. The chicken had no flavor, the biscuits were over cooked and the bacon was undercooked. Had to keep sipping water to get the food down. Onion rings were solid and the service was pretty good. I'm sure I'll try it again but maybe something fresh.

Ambiance (4/5): I made a reservation for a Friday evening at 7pm and we were quickly seated upon arrival. There were plenty of open spaces nearby. The back atrium had a private party going on so it was not available for guests. The place is dimly lit and noise volume was on the louder side. I agree that it feels like an elevated bar. I really like the space. Service (2/5): The wait staff was definitely understaffed as it was extremely difficult to get water refills, place orders, or close out our check. Food Calamari (3/5): The rings were not that crispy but came out piping hot. I think the batter could use some more flavor but the toppings were nice. Rueben Spring Rolls 3ct (4/5): Unique spin to your classic sandwich option! I really liked it but felt like there could be more stuffing as it mostly sauerkraut.

Really great happy hour until 8PM. There is a selection of wine, beer, and I think a few cocktails on the happy hour for $7, and they also have some $8 sides (french fries, Brussel sprouts, sweet potato fries, onion rings, etc). Definitely a good idea to make a reservation ahead of time even on the weekday as the bar area gets packed. There is a back yard space that's very pretty - I think standing room only but it's a great vibe!

Pretty decent, chill bar located in the heart of midtown east. Came here on a late Friday night and still had plenty of folks but not too crowded. There's both bar seating and plenty of table seating for larger groups. The space was large enough for corporate events too. The drink selection was standard but had just about everything you could ask for. Service was friendly too with quick turnaround time on the drinks.

This restaurant remains underrated despite its quality. They serve good food in big portions at prices that surprise. The primary feature is the employees' pleasant demeanor. You get quality cuisine at reasonable prices. Draught 55 delivers a complete experience.

***Sleeper neighborhood gem*** Looks like a dive bar but is actually so much more. Drinks are good, beer selection solid. Come for the happy hour stay for the incredible food. The French onion soup is delicious the fries are incredible I've never had a bad meal here actually. Low key delicious

Recently my company had their Christmas party here. We rented out the furthest back room which was almost like an enclosed terrace but also included a fireplace! It was very spacious. The passed appetizers were good, including the pigs in a blanket and the burger sliders. The drinks were also pouring all night, and the espresso martini was a really good nightcap! I'd come back here for Happy Hour for sure.

Drought 55 has one of the best charcuterie boards I've ever had. The food was delicious, the service and vibe was excellent and chill. I would definitely go back just for the charcuterie board!

Could not say enough positive things about Draught 55. what a hidden gem in midtown! We held our 70ish person engagement party in the back private "Atrium" this weekend and we're so pleased with the experience we're already thinking about the next party we can host here. The bartenders and staff, especially their events manager Kevin, were so friendly and helpful the entire day and the weeks leading up to our event, our guests were fully satisfied with the food selection and quality and vast variety of beers and drinks generally. Bar service was fast even when the room was completely packed. We were able to decorate the room ourselves although it didn't really need any decorations as it's already so nicely put together. Can't recommend enough. Now I just need to go back and try all of their beers and food off their regular menu.

Stopped in yesterday for a few beers with my coworker. Gabby was our server and she was awesome. Professional and personable at the same time. She made a good time a great time. We will be back.

Good casual watering hole. Had a burger at the bar and washed it down with the house lager, both were good and reasonably priced. Good bar service, I love it when the bartender moves efficiently and knows what they're doing. The seating area has picnic style tables with bench seating and seems to be popular for post-work get togethers. The large room in the back of the bar was being rented for a group gathering. I liked Draught 55 better than PJ Clarke's down the street. In fact, we were going to have a burger at PJ Clarke's and walked out cause it was so crowded and noisy in the bar area and the bartender was too busy to notice us. The burgers at the two are comparable IMO.

My wife hosted my 30th bday here. We rented the atrium private space which could fit up to 100 people (we only had 40). The atrium comes beautifully decorated with flowers on the rooftop and has its own private bar with bartender. The staff here are extremely friendly and accommodating. They worked with us on all our requests. They allowed us to setup a Photo Booth as well. We ordered about 10 different appetizers for our guests and they were all excellent, except the beef sliders which were a bit over cooked and dry. The food flowed out at a nice even pace. Drinks were solid and they had good choices for draft beer too. Would definitely recommend hosting your next event here

My husband and I stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon in August. We were greeted by the bartender and I asked him if we can sit in the patio (I love drinking in an indoor outdoor situation). He replied that it was extremely unpleasant and hot there and he would not recommend. He still let me walk back there and he was right. I like taking my husband to bars that have a variety of draft beers - and Draught 55 did not disappoint. Eddie enjoyed the House Brew American Lager and I had my usual tequila on the rocks. We sat at the table in front of the window next to the entrance. We were the only patrons for awhile but it wasn't in the weird way. I would recommend Draught 55 for quick drinks and good beers.

Been here a couple of times. Nice food nice beer. I heard that they have an underground place for private events? Curious

We went during the lunch special and that was the best deal and best food everrrr. $15 for the burger and fries AND a free craft drink. Everything so so flavorful and came out fast.

The wait service was attentive and friendly even with a busy bar crowd on a Saturday afternoon. The food was served quickly but not rushed. We both enjoyed flatbread and a delicious burger. Beer selection was good including some nice non alcoholic beer options which are always appreciated.

Just had my daughters bridal shower at Draught55 and it couldn't have been better. Jeanet, Kelsey and the entire staff were wonderful. The food was great, the room looked beautiful. All my guests had a great time. Highly recommend!!!

We stopped in for a drink at happy hour after running errands. We really liked this place. The ambience was cozy for your typical pub atmosphere. The staff was quite friendly and attentive. The happy hour Malbec was quite delicious. The appetizers we had were good. With the prices, atmosphere and food choices I am suggesting it to my office for a get together.

Happy hour deals are great and everyone in my friend group found something they wanted (beer, wine, gin & tonic). Great location, great atmosphere, and hard to beat prices make Draught 55 a go-to option for anyone in the midtown area looking to escape the crowd without going too far out of the way. Would absolutely recommend!

Good weather=Good beer. As the weather starts getting a little better, we are craving a chilled glass of beer almost everyday! We decided to try Draught 55 on one of our craving days. It is a great spot to grab a chilled beer and yummy bar food. We got the Roasted cauliflower and aged white cheddar dip served with grilled bread and veggie sticks. It was so addictive! I didn't know a dip made of cauliflower could taste so good, rich and creamy. We also got the a side of the Grilled corn with chipotle butter. We had to get something with chipotle butter and It did not disappoint. It was rich, delicious with a slight spicy kick. For drinks I got the Hitachino Nest White Ale which was the best Whitbier I've had. Get this Japanese beer that is full of flavor and spices if you're here. Ps: I really liked how all the food items on their menu suggest a beer pairing to go along with it

Draught 55 has something for everyone. It's a great pub like atmosphere with a handful of TVs in the front by the bar and a side area in the front with tables for dining. The back hosts a glass-enclosed Atrium with a full bar in the back. We have never been there for an event but I have noticed it can be rented out as well, perfect for a large gathering. The food is pretty good as well and they have a great kids menu too with a handful of high chairs. During lunch, the tables feel separate from the bar so it doesn't feel like you're bringing your kid to a bar and it's separate enough it doesn't affect the vibe ether. From everything I've tried I have enjoyed the wings the most. Must not be able to tell from the picture but the are certainly on the larger side! Draught 55 is a fun time.

Great place to grab a beer! They have happy hour beer specials for $6 until 8pm and it starts at 3pm. Decor is very nice. Bartender was friendly. I haven't tried the food. Great place to meet with friends or colleagues for drinks.

Service was great, food is yummy. Great selection of beers. What more can you Ask for?

Very good onion soup. We asked for the cheese on top to be well done. The tuna nicoise was also very good. It had rare tuna which was done perfectly. The chicken sandwich with bbq sauce and bacon and the three fried chicken sliders also were tasty. We asked for the fries without garlic sauce. I'm actually going back today for dinner. I'll take pictures to show what we will be eating.

My second time back here. The food is not bad, that's why I come back. The first time I ordered blue cheese burger. Price is fair and portion is big. For nowadays, you can get a big burger with fries for $15-20, it's a deal. The nacho dish is huge, With half avocado slices and lots of chips. However the service is unacceptable. It seems they only have one waitress and she is constantly looking at her phone at the corner. We sat there 15 mins and not even water was offered. After 20 mins someone came to take our order. Food came very fast. But no water or napkins were provided. We tried to look for the waitress or host. After we finished our food, we sat there for more than 20 mins to get the bill. Finally we saw someone and asked if we can get the check. I think I will get take out next time. The service is very slow. If you have time and don't mind waiting, this place is nice. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Music is a bit loud. It has a good selection of beer.

Excellent food and great service. Warm atmosphere. Fun place. Highly recommended! They open at 11 am

One of my favorite bars in the midtown east area, and if you are hungry you MUST try the nachos!! Now I wouldn't think nachos at a bar would be good, but after the first time trying it, I always come back for more. The portion is huge and I have never ever finished it with a friend before!. Their burger is also bomb along with their happy hour prices. Draught is my go-to bar in my neighborhood :)

Stopped in at Draught 55 after running the United Half Marathon. The bartender was very attentive. They offer craft beer of a few different varieties. They have a nice menu of bar snack, appetizers, and burgers and mains, next time I will order food. I recommend if you are in the area.

Guessing by the name, you wouldn't expect them to have such an inviting interior. I attended a work holiday party (group of 30) in their atrium. First off, the place is surprisingly very spacious. Crowded and noisy but that's expected during happy hour times. The layout was very long with a low ceiling. Took me a while to get to the back patio where our party was happening. They did a great job decorating the back room. Lights everywhere. Lovely Christmas feel! They served us few appetizers at first. Main food was enjoyed buffet style. The table featured a salad, pasta, salmon, chicken, mashed potatoes and brocoli. I had a full satisfying plate. The bar was the star of the show. Great bartenders. I did not get beer but rather enjoyed whisky and later 2 glasses of vermouth. This place definitely added to the fun atmosphere of our party.

- We got the beer flights for $12 - Lots of options to choose from but was disappointed that many of the ones we picked were out - The waitress had to come back to our table 3 different times before we settled on an order - A few TVs to watch games - Stools near the bar and long tables for large groups - Biergarten-esque - Chill vibes - Good spot for after work drinks

Great pub with good food. Had my chili soup with meatball dish, fried eggs and Reuben Spring Rolls

This place has cool ambiance. Wood and good lighting. The service was very good as well. Would return

Dark, cozy, relaxed, dive bar vibes. Variety of East Coast draft beers. Service fast!

Went there on Sunday November 17 at 1:45pm. Only four other people in the bar. My group of three sat there for 15 minutes waiting to at least be acknowledged. The two female bartenders just stood behind the bar chatting away, never once even looking in our direction. We finally got up and left. Went to a much nicer bar down the block. I will never return or suggest that anyone go there.

Got the burger with cheddar cheese and bacon and thought the portion was really generous, especially for takeout during COVID times. The burger was super flavorful, and the fries were really tasty too. I could've done without the chunks of actual garlic on the fries but it was still good nonetheless. Would want to come back to try their selection of beers and eat other foods from here!

Had an event in the Atrium room, which you can reserve for a minimum spend, and could not recommend it more for anyone looking for a spot for an event. Beautifully decorated, attentive and personable team at the bar, and good drinks!

I am so sad writing this review. This place has a great atmosphere and a fun setup. When my friends and I first walked in we sat right down at the bar and received attention from the male bartender right away. He made GREAT drinks, we tipped heavily. Then he was moved to the back bar. We finished our drinks and prepared to order another round. The female bartender ignored us for more than 30 minutes after our drinks were emptied and pushed forward. I joked to her about how she was all alone, and she said she could handle it just fine. Bye she failed to ask us if we needed another round. She never looked to meet my eyes that were trying to meet hers. After more than 40 minutes, my friends and I decided to leave. We were really sad bc we live in the neighborhood and this could have been a great new regular spot. Definitely disappointed, but only in the service.

Big portions of tasty food and great pricing for drinks.. can't go wrong coming here! Also a really cute space

Came to Draught 55 with a friend before watching a movie. Extensive beer list is always a plus. We got the house brew and it was excellent. We also ordered the nachos and spicy buffalo wings. I felt like it was average bar food, nothing over the top in terms of flavors (it was a huge pile of nachos though). Maybe we should have ordered some other items but for what we got, it was decent.

Cute place! Came here for drinks on a Thursday night. Everything was reasonable price plus the lights inside are so cute! Super chill and casual vibes here! Didn't get to try the food but the pics look great though

Great ambiance with wooden tables, good gastropub English food and good beer selection. A neighborhood gem. Great place to find interesting beer. There is an amazing selection of draghts and bottled beers & amazing food! Great spot for casual after work drinks and food. Really great happy hour. Wasn't crowded on a Wednesday night. Also, they have a large enclosed back patio. Really cool spot, close enough to Times Square, yet kinda tucked away on a side street. Almost like if you weren't specifically going there you may not even notice it. The food was unbelievably good, service was excellent, Very good vibe, excellent choice of draft beers. My only complaint is, it can get a little noisy. It's not a big place with low ceilings and lots of people during happy hour! Great food. Great service. Great beer selection. What more do you need from an Irish pub!

Stopped in for lunch with my friend who frequents this place. They usually have lunch specials that include a beer or cider. I decided to try one of their burgers instead. Opted for the Guinness burger which was really good. Very much enjoyed the chipotle and crispy onion combo. And the friends are darn good too. My friend loved her food and cider as well. It's a nice, friendly bar with very good food and service.

Mmmm.......Beeeeer. So much beer. The beer list itself takes up two pages. I might have to revisit this place over and over to try them all! I recently dropped in here with a friend to catch up on things. Epic beer list! $5 happy hour with a select list of brews, cocktails, wine until 8pm daily. I do wish they offered more selection for the beers during HH, as only having a few available considering the monster beer list was kind of lame. With the amount of beer on tap I am sure they could add a few more for HH. Make it happier! Yet, we found a tasty amber ale that we ordered and even went for seconds. Terrific atmosphere, decor, and outside back patio. It has a classic rustic bar feel to it. The service was friendly enough. There is a long bar with plenty of seats, but to sit at a table in the dining room area, even the 2-person high tops, food is required to be ordered from a server. Eclectic menu of food items some made with beer as an ingredient. We just wanted a few snacks so went with the mozzarella sticks which came with a smoky flavored sauce dip - yum! Also got the hummus and pita plate. Pretty good and the pitas were warm which is always a plus. Our server checked in now and then, and took good care of us. Prices seemed decent overall. Gets crowded and noisy after work hours. We arrived at 5pm and it was empty. By 6pm it was jam packed! Best bet for locals is to hit it later at night, or on weekends when the work crowd is not around. Oh, and Pro Tip - for the love of all that is holy do not order a Bud Light, Miller Lite, or Coors beer here! Just don't do it. Ever.

Loud! Met a few friends for drinks but ended up ordering food to share. " oh fudge" was like drinking mocha with 11% extra shot of alcohol. Very good, loved it. Margarita flatbread and nachos were decent. Wasn't too crazy about quinoa crab cake. Our server was creepy and annoying.
