Dear Irving On Broadway

Dear Irving on Broadway is a rooftop cocktail lounge that brings a splash of theatrical flair to Midtown. Tucked away on the fifth floor of 1717C Broadway, this speakeasy-style bar is a love letter to 1930s glamour, with velvet banquettes, mirrored ceilings, and a marble-topped central bar that feels straight out of a movie set. The vibe is part old-Hollywood, part Broadway backstage, with dramatic curtains and playful wallpaper setting the scene. There’s even a whimsical mural titled Cirque du Freak-A-Leek that adds a pop of personality to the space.

The drinks are where the magic really happens. Bar Director Meghan Dorman - known for her award-winning cocktail programs - curates a menu that pays tribute to Broadway legends, mixing classic techniques with a bit of showbiz sparkle. Chef Franco Barrio keeps things fun and unfussy with bites inspired by NYC street eats and deli staples. Owned by Yves Jadot Restaurant Group (the team behind Dear Irving Gramercy and Dear Irving on Hudson), this third outpost keeps the brand’s signature style alive while adding a theatrical twist. Whether you're popping in for pre-show drinks or settling in for a night of rooftop lounging, Dear Irving on Broadway is a standout star in the city’s cocktail scene.
