"And the night shall be filled with music,And the cares, that infest the day,Shall fold their tents like the Nomad,and silently steal away."

About Us
Combining his passion for Irish pubs and literature, Owner/Proprietor Drew Dvorkin opened The Dead Poet in September of 2000. Drew, a former high school English teacher, designed the bar to celebrate the lives and spirits of famous writers and poets. The mahogany-paneled walls are adorned with black and white portraits, musing quotations, and poetic passages pertaining to the universal quandaries of life.

My favorite bar in NYC. As it's finally in my hood, I've taken everyone there -- friends from out of town, parents who aren't crazy about the city, coworkers...and everyone has loved it...

If you're down for a chill place to sit, eat, chat and most importantly - DRINK! The owner is super nice and happily stopped to chat with us. If you are walking through central park and you need a quick sit down- HIGHLY recommend this place :).

Great atmosphere and good drinks. If you're a literature fan, you'll get a kick out of this bar. Also, they have a couple TV's so we were able to catch a Saturday college football game...
