Worth it, says Antonina. Crafted with Malibu rum, Absolut, blue curacao, lemon, and pineapple, its vibrant green hue alone earns 1803 a well-deserved place among the best bars in Tribeca.

  • Address82 Reade St, New York, NY 10007
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

1803’s name pays homage to the year of the Louisiana Purchase, a pivotal moment in U.S. history that expanded the nation and opened doors to new possibilities. It’s a fitting name for a venue dedicated to fostering innovation through its culinary creations.

Consistently wowing folks with its Cajun-Creole cuisine, 1803 impresses with its delectable menu, including favorites like honey chili Brussels sprouts, crawfish cakes Benedict, and the remarkable buttermilk brine fried chicken.

The bar offers an array of Louisiana-inspired cocktails, with my personal favorite being the Gator Bait. Crafted with Malibu rum, Absolut, blue curacao, lemon, and pineapple, its vibrant green hue alone earns 1803 a well-deserved place among the best bars in Tribeca.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.

A fitting name for a Cajun-Creole restaurant, 1803 pays homage to the year of the Louisiana Purchase. Serving some of the most delicious brunch in Tribeca, the menu featuring delicious offerings such as honey chili Brussels sprouts, crawfish cakes Benedict, and buttermilk brine fried chicken.

The space itself is beautifully designed without feeling overly precious. You can tell they put thought into every detail. If it’s your first time, I’d recommend starting with their go-to order, it’s what they’re known for and it won’t disappoint. This one of those places I find myself recommending over and over, and everyone always thanks me afterward.
