Lillie’s Victorian Establishment: NYC’s Most Unique Pub Experience

Looking for an unforgettable dining experience in New York City? Lillie’s Victorian Establishment is the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern hospitality. With two stunning locations, Times Square and Union Square, this Victorian-themed restaurant offers an immersive escape into 19th-century elegance.

Expect richly decorated interiors, handcrafted cocktails, and thoughtfully curated brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. Whether you’re visiting before a Broadway show or planning a romantic night out, Lillie’s is one of NYC’s most unique dining spots.

Step Into the Victorian Era

Lillie’s pays tribute to the legendary Lillie Langtry — a 19th-century actress and socialite known for her sophistication. Every element in the restaurant evokes her spirit.

From antique fireplaces to ornate wood carvings, the atmosphere is straight out of a historic European salon. Yet, there’s nothing stiff about it. The ambiance remains welcoming and vibrant, with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe that suits both casual diners and special occasion guests.

Two Beautiful Locations in the Heart of Manhattan

Lillie’s operates two prime locations in NYC, each offering its own unique experience.

Times Square: Classic Elegance Near Broadway

📍 249 W 49th St, New York, NY 10019
📞 (212) 957-4530

This location is ideal for pre-theater brunch or dinner. Its proximity to Broadway makes it a hotspot for tourists and locals alike. Inside, expect tall ceilings, stained glass, and vintage mirrors lining the walls.

Highlights from the Times Square Menu:

  • Brunch Favorites: Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, Belgian waffles with fruit compote
  • Lunch & Dinner: Filet mignon, pan-seared salmon, Irish bangers & mash
  • Cocktails: Victorian Mojito, Lillie’s Gin Fizz, Elderflower Sparkler

It’s a go-to for a relaxing brunch near Times Square or a romantic dinner with character.

Union Square: Intimate Dining in a Cozy Setting

📍 13 E 17th St, New York, NY 10003
📞 (212) 337-1970

Tucked away near Union Square Park, this location offers a quieter, more intimate vibe. It’s perfect for date nights, business lunches, or weekend get-togethers.

Highlights from the Union Square Menu:

  • Signature Dishes: Shepherd’s pie, grilled chicken with lemon herb glaze, seared scallops
  • Drinks to Try: Lillie’s Lavender Martini, Pear & Thyme Smash, Victorian Sangria

This space blends antique beauty with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, making it a favorite for locals.

Immersive Decor and Atmosphere

Lillie’s stands out not just for its food, but for its captivating design. Interiors feature artifacts imported from an Irish estate, including vintage bars, chandeliers, and oil paintings. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into another time.

The design creates a perfect photo backdrop, making it a hit on Instagram and an ideal spot for private events, holiday dinners, or themed celebrations.

What Makes Lillie’s Victorian Establishment So Special

At Lillie’s, you get more than a meal — you get a full sensory experience. Here’s what keeps guests coming back:

  • Historic Décor: Authentic pieces from the 1800s add charm and character
  • Versatile Menus: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available
  • Live Music: Select evenings feature live performers (check the website for upcoming dates)
  • Warm Hospitality: Service is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall vibe

“Stepping into this Victorian-inspired gem felt like traveling through time — a visual delight. We came for dinner and were thoroughly impressed. The lobster ravioli and steak frites were flavorful and beautifully presented. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and attentive. I’ve heard great things about their afternoon tea and can’t wait to return for that experience. Also, their full bar looks perfect for a happy hour unwind!”
