Dorrian’s Red Hand (NYC)!

Welcome to

restaurant. bar. Second Home.

SERVING NYC'S SMARTEST, MOST FUN AND INFLUENTIAL FOLKS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILIES FOR OVER 60 YEARS!

First opening in 1960, Dorrian's Red Hand has been a staple of Manhattan's Upper East Side for decades, dutifully serving delicious American fare and popular beers and cocktails to generations of neighbors, locals, and their families.

In the 50+ years since it opened, DRH (NYC) — as we are also known as — has expanded from a humble little corner bar serving loyal regulars to a fully restaurant space with a smaller, intimate back room with its own bar.

We are now a venue that can offer the comforts of a wonderful meal and tasty drinks to everyone from individuals and couples to small parties and large events.

We have maintained that “old neighborhood” charm of Yorkville, while adapting with the tastes and energy of Today’s customers.
