    Breakfast Hangover Burger
    Tristan S.

    After a 30 mile hike from the Javits Center my boy brought me here because he says this place has the best happy hour deals. I was impressed with the aesthetics and the ambiance of this place. The service and the burger itself were absolutely amazing! And this place had outdoor seating for when the weather gets warmer. When the person brought out that classy bottle of water I knew this place couldn't disappoint. Definitely give this place a go if your in the city. Hopefully next time i get to enjoy the happy hour specials.

    Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick drink with some friends. Had no issues getting a spot right at the bar and woman behind the taps was not only funny, but very helpful and attentive and is really the reason I liked the place so much! The place has great drink specials for happy hour, and besides the price they are also well made. I ordered the Grumpy Old Man, which for any old fashioned enjoyed I think will be delighted with what they get, although it's a little on the sweeter side. Didn't get the chance to try the food, but I sure was tempted with everyone ordering around us what seemed like really some good classic pub food. If I'm ever around the area, I'm definitely inclined to come back and try more.

    Fish & Chips, oysters, Beef Sliders, John Doe Burger

    The oysters were okay for $1. Not the best unless you like Virginia oysters. Got one oyster that basically had nothing on it. It was laughable. Service is meh. Hostess is nice! Beef sliders were dry. Burger was nice. Soda was flat. Ambience is cool.

    Did someone say $1 oysters! In this economy that's practically unheard of! Plus I don't think they have a cap. AND they also have daily specials on the weekdays. We went for Taco & Tequila Tuesday. $8 for 3 mini tacos! What!! This place just has it all: AMAZING prices, food and wonderful service. The staff were so sweet and attentive, even though it was busy. And let me tell you they were BUSY! We ordered: A lot of oysters Crispy Fish Taco Chipotle Chicken Taco Savory Beef Taco BBQ Pulled Pork Taco (All the tacos were topped with guacamole, pico de gallo & sour cream ) Chicken Wings (they have quite a few flavors to choose from) Irish Spice Bag Definitely check it out! I know I'm going back!

    I heard about this place and it just so happened I wasn't working far so I stopped here after work to see what the hype was about for the $1 Oyster Happy Hr. I'm an oyster lover and I love finding a deal so I can indulge and I was really excited because you usually don't find a happy hour that last this long in NYC. I ordered a couple of drinks too Mezcal Margaritas, which were really good. I really don't have any complaints, aside from when I was a little disappointed because my waitress forgot to let me know that the drinks I ordered weren't on happy hour, but aside from that it was a good vibe. I ordered about .2 dozen oysters and they were amazing and I ordered some fries that were really good. Overall the service was also very friendly and I enjoyed the outdoor seating. I'll be back soon.

    Emma is the kind of bartender that makes you forget you came for a drink..because you end up staying for her. She's got that rare mix of professionalism, personality, and precision that sets the tone for the whole bar. Whether she's crafting a cocktail to perfection or remembering your drink before you even say it, she makes you feel like you're the only one in the room. Her energy lights up John Doe bar ..warm, confident, and effortlessly cool. The drinks are great, but Emma is the reason they feel better. She doesn't just serve..she curates an experience. If every bar had an Emma behind it, the world would be a much happier place.

    Shredded bbq tacos. Very good!
    Angel S.

    Everything went excellently! Had Tacos, Margaritas, and Oh man the BBQ wings were absolutely delicious. I definitely will go back, and soon .

    Lunch time with my coworker food was great and the drinks too. A nice spot for lunch.

    12 oysters for $12 (not only during happy hour!! they close late!!)

    WE ARE SOOOO COMING BACK HERE. I am so happy we found this gem. We were in Flatiron at 9 pm on a Saturday night, long after traditional happy hours. In a desperate bid to satisfy my craving for oysters tonight, I looked up "cheap oysters". A 10 minute walk took us to John Doe. Guys. The website is not lying. Oysters are $1 each, all day everyday. This place closes at 4 AM?? EVERYDAY??? It sounded too good to be true, but I promise you it is. It is. Ok well, the only thing is you're required to order a drink and buy a minimum of 6 oysters. But whatever that's not hard at all. I enjoyed a nice beer with my 18 oysters. It was actually so good. I love oysters. I loved this place too. It was surprisingly not extremely crowded or loud or overwhelming. Don't get me wrong- there were tons of people and the music was booming. Great, great music. I'm 21 btw. Music made me wanna shimmy my body with my oysters in hand. I didn't have any issues talking and being able to hear from across the table. Energy inside this place was impeccable. I'm still riding the high of finding this amazing spot. I wouldn't worry about being able to be seated at a table inside, or calling ahead for reservations, or none of that. Just walk in and expect the friendliest waiters and yummy cheap oysters. I'm so happy. 10000/10 stars from me. I oysters. My boyfriend's review: As a first time oyster eater they were a very solid intro to oysters. The presentation was nice and the hot sauce on the oysters was delicious. They went great with my beer.

    Food: I came here on a Wednesday evening and the service was great. We started off with two cocktails each and some oysters. I liked the oysters and then we ordered two espresso martini glasses and shared a penne vodka pasta. The pasta was tasty and Al dente. The ambiance felt fun with cheerful Christmas music. It was a busy evening for a Wednesday night.

    This is your typical pub that stays open until 4am as we stopped by for a late night drink. Most drinks and cocktails were around $15 each. The music was blasting 90's R&B and hip hop, which I enjoyed though. Nothing great, nothing bad really.

    Awesome Atmosphere & Great Staff! I had an amazing time at John Doe!!! The atmosphere was cool & vibey! with great ppl The staff was friendly, attentive, and made some top-notch recommendations. Shouts out To Amanda, Joshua ! The vibe was perfect for a fun night out with friends or a relaxed evening w/ a hot date. I'm a regular and ALWAYS gotta show love to my John Doe peeps! Highly recommend!

    Got the happy hour ipa which was 6$, my friends each got happy hour well drinks for 7$. We sat outside, it's finally warming up and it was cute outside. We ordered 12 oysters which were pretty good, and we had some garlic and herb wings as well because it was wing Wednesday. Wings were $1.5 and the oysters $1 each. We also got the truffle fries and calamari. The fries were really yummy, for the price I thought the portions would be a bit larger but they were delicious. Very garlicky and oily so if you're not into that I would steer clear of the fries. Overall good experience, nice staff and good happy hour deal!

I found the hodgepodge of old-timey decor to be a bit kitsch, but to each their own. I came with a group on a weeknight with no reservation. We were seated immediately on a high wood table. Although the bar wasn't busy (there were plenty of empty spaces, small groups scattered throughout the area), the service was quite slow. The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.

It's one of those spots that are simple/bar korean food forward with slight modernization/americanization and it might be best used as a place before going out to carb up, because the portions are large but nothing really stood out to me flavor-wise making me want to come back just to have the food on its own. The jajangmeyon was tasty although a little basic. The corn fritter was my favorite, as it was hefty and a little sweet with a nice crunch but didn't wow me either. The chicken and fries are what you would expect. I think this place is good if you are looking for volume/portion size but not necessarily great for a one on one date or dinner where the focus is the food. The frozen alcoholic drinks were tasty enough though I didn't get a buzz. This place has been around for a long time, and I typically love all of Hand Hospitality's creations, but can't say this one is my favorite. However, it has its own role in the community and definitely still think it's worth coming if you fit the demographic I described. The wait staff was nice and attentive, the vibes were good and the place was generally chic and modern; it was not hard to get a reservation.
