Doc Watson's

Doc Watson's is one of the most popular gathering places for residents of the Upper East Side. The restaurant is the perfect blend of an Irish pub and American dining. Live music and an outdoor dining area make eating at Doc Watson's a unique experience. The menu is full of fresh salads, sandwiches, entrees and more. The delicious Irish Breakfast is served all day, and it includes bacon, Irish sausage, eggs, black and white pudding, baked beans and a grilled tomato. If you are not in the mood for Irish food, the burgers, which are all made with grass fed beef, are fabulous.

I spent a wonderful Sunday evening enjoying great food and beverages along with live music. The restaurant looks like an Irish pub from the front, but a real treasure lurks behind the restaurant. There is a garden and outdoor dining area behind Doc Watson's, and this is the perfect place to enjoy a drink on a warm summer evening.

I was hooked the first time I visited the bar at Doc Watson's. The draft Guinness is so fabulous that it is hard to enjoy just one pint. The bar also offers many specialty drinks, including signature drinks served in mason jars. Try the Moscow Mule with lime juice, Grey Goose and ginger beer.
