Natalia Cruz★★★★★

Personal a big fan of any literary bars, even if they don't have any books. This place is definitely a charming Irish pub, with both bar and table service. Will say that if you are ready for your drink and at a table its easier to order if at the bar and they'll bring it over. Love all the clever names they have for drinks / cocktails and fairly priced for NYC. I found the 500 Guinness wall cute. Also, always a big fan when they have the digital jukeboxes to play the tunes you want to hear. I got the cider they have on tap and the signature drink. Both very good and now I also have a new glass

Jordan Byrd★★★★

There is no food served here even though it says they have a menu online (on SinglePlatform) so ignore that. But, you can bring your own food in. Very small but great vibes! The dead poet drink was very tasty and I love that I got to keep the glass. Be aware that it is very loud, sit outside if you want to talk.

Faidon Kefaleas★★★★★

The Dead Poet Bar on the Upper West Side is a cozy, literary-themed spot with a great atmosphere. The dark wood, bookish quotes on the walls, and dim lighting create an inviting space perfect for casual drinks. Their cocktail menu, especially the namesake "Dead Poet" with Jameson and ginger ale, is creative and affordable for Manhattan. Though small and often crowded, especially on weekends, the laid-back vibe and friendly bartenders make it worth a visit. Whether you're a literary fan or just looking for a great neighborhood bar, The Dead Poet is a gem you'll want to return to.

PhilYouIn★★★★

Bar looks like it’s been here for many years, and it’s obviously because it is a relaxing, pleasant place to stop by for a beer, drink or food. Bar seating, tables in back and out front. Bartenders were very friendly and welcoming. TVs throughout, bathrooms in the rear. Lots of interesting things to look at on the walls. Nice place.
