Hi - I am a bartender at the Frying Pan, and I just wanted to let everyone know that, as of July 4th 2008, we are finally OPEN again! Yesssssssss! Location is slightly different than before, 3 blocks north of where we used to be - our pier is now #66a, located at 26th Street on the Hudson River.

This is a great place to go when the weather is amazing, and summer is in full bloom. I wouldn't say that it is the best place in the city, but the drinks are cheap, and you can hang out outside with plenty of space to walk around. The crowd is definitely not a Manhattan kind of crowd, and that can be a welcome relief sometimes. They often have interesting concerts, and dress is usually pretty casual. Go in loose clothing and casual shoes, and relax and dance with the band.

Pros: Fun and a little different.

Cons: Usually slow service at the bar.

Save your money & effort. This place is no good. They first served us a frozen drink & then 30 minutes later refused because they were "too busy"!!! I will never go there again & you shouldn't even try. The people there are no good.

Pros: great views

Cons: staff is no good

this is my fav spot in nyc! the food is fabulous and you get to watch the sunset on a pirate ship. what could be better? o that a pirate actually hangs out there.. and yes that happens! if you go on a night where there is a smirky bartender who wears his sunglasses at night, watch out. His bartending skills are lacking, but you wouldn't know based on his super inflated ego. The other bartenders are great! there is always LOTS of seating. Go and have fun matey! ARRRRRR

I love Pier 63 and the Frying Pan. I've been living in NYC for many years, but somehow I haven't come across this barge (not really a pier) with 2 antique boats (The John Harvey and The Frying Pan.) Last year my friend had a wonderful wedding here, probably the prettiest one I've ever seen. Since then I've been a regular. During the warm months there's a bar and grill, serving simple and affordable drinks and basic food. It's a joy to grab a few beers, a greasy burger and to climb up one of the FP's decks watching the sun set over NJ. A great place to bring guests and to throw casual parties. The East River Dr. Address for this listing is incorrect. The FP is at 12th Avenue and 23rd Street.

Pros: Location/Atmosphere, Inexpensive

Tried booking a party there recently and was literally shafted!! Despite numerous phone calls and two face to face meetings in which we verbally struck a deal, I was given the run around for a few days and finally the management reneged on the agreement in such a rude and egregious manner. I do not recommend booking this place because they are unprofessional, lack manners and most importantly they will leave you hanging at the very last minute. Dont' do it. It just isn't worth it!

Cons: , Booking is High Risk
