Pier 66 Maritime

The people who work here are the WORST! The bouncers are jerks and aren’t trained to handle the crowds this place attracts, so as a result they end up pushing and shoving customers. Last time I was there someone I was with was pushed down the steps by a bouncer who was freaking out about too many people being in the upstairs area. I’ve had my entire purse dumped out for no reason by security at the front and the bartenders are so rude, they act like they’re working at a 5 star restaurant and freak out if you don’t move fast enough or leave a huge tip. The view is great and it’s a fun place to go in the summer, but I’ve stopped going back because the people who work there are so awful. I’ve never eaten here, but I know a bunch of people who have gotten food poisoning from the seafood.

Went here for lunch and my first impression was that this was a pretty cool space — it is on a boat outdoors (warning for those who get seasick, though the waters weren’t bad when I went). Great space for a casual environment.
Service is order food and drinks at the bar and self seating. Lunch food is just burger and fries type of deal. I got the steak baguette with fries — it was a little difficult to eat, bread was very hard. Fries were seasoned nicely but overall the meal was overpriced for its quality. My company ordered the pulled-​pork sandwich and he didn’t think there was enough sauce, therefore mediocre food. But you don’t have to tip so that’s nice!
My recommendation and what I hear is this is more of a place for drinks.

The venue is great, food is decent. I recommend it more of a spot for drinks rather that food. Food can be a little bit pricey for the quantity you get. But I overall recommend this place.

Decent go to spot if you’re looking for some casual food/​drinks and great views of the Hudson. It’s always nice to come here early before it gets crowded, during the week this happens around 730−8pm. If coming here, I would say enjoy a bite and the sunset before heading over to another spot. If so, try Gallow Green rooftop at the McKittrick which is only a few blocks away.
The Frying Pan (because let’s face it everyone calls it by this name) serves up decent drinks, the white sangria is really tasty and refreshing. If you’re going to go for some food, the lobster roll is solid but the fries are the real star, covered in old bay seasoning. YUM.

I love this place for its awsm view of whole city… enjoy the food alot over here. Service is too good. Must go place especially in fall at evening tym… cheers

Food BBQ ribs were raw and very bland. soda from the machine no carbonation taste just like syrup. fried Calamari was very dry and over battered

Conveniently located if you are on the Hudson River Greenway. Really nice views from the top deck. Mediocre food and service.

Went here on a hot but windy day, and loved it. The alcohol is reasonably priced. I ordered a hamburger, and while there was nothing special about it, it did taste good. One problem: if you’re a girl with long hair, tie your hair up if you’re going to eat anything (my hair was constantly flying into my mouth while trying to eat and it was not pleasant lol).
Food: 3.5÷5
Alcohol: good price
Atmosphere: ⁵⁄₅! I loved being on the ship and feeling the swaying (even though i did start to feel a little sick after a while). The view is amazing.
Overall: i’d definitely return!

Great river view. on the river experience. We were just there for a drink on a hot afternoon, purchased the beer at the bar and seated ourselves by the water. It is breezy, but it felt great. Lovely peaceful place and a nice change from the tall buildings of the city.

Awesome spot, but I’m not sure I would come again. The «being on a boat» feeling is only cool that first few moments you’re on it. Then you come to a realization, I’m on a freaking boat with all these people. I wouldn’t do this on land, why would I do this on a boat?! Hah.
I really didn’t appreciate the swaying — it was a windy day. I am putting into account that 30 minute wait to get in, even though my colleagues were on the line for me. I wouldn’t wait 30 minute to get on a crowded boat to drink. I don’t even think I need the drink to get a little dizzy, the boat was doing that for me.
All the staff were kinda antsy and rushed — I get that, there were like what felt like a thousand people on the boat. You can purchase the beers in a bucket or even get a coconut. The view was nice, but the seats weren’t that comfortable — basically lawn chairs.
PERHAPS I will come back to try the food? But will I even be able to keep it down? I am so sensitive to becoming dizzy that it’s not even funny…

Took my mom to ny for a late Mother’s day gift. Once she got up the courage to walk across the mini bridge to the restaurant we were greeted by a very sweet lady named Tara. It was our first time so we ot a bit mixed up and went straight to the bar. As we passed another sweet lady, Stacey greeted us with a great smile and comforted my mother in being on the pier, since it was hard enough to get her there! All was well until we approached the bar. The day was so lovely so I couldn’t understand what the «sour lemon» face she was making. I asked her for a menu and she points upward and keeps doing what she was doing. No «hello how are you what can I get you». Then I ask if I can take it dpwn because I couldn’t see it. She spat out something about company policy and kept standing there like we would get the menu thru osmosis and hurry up and order and quit wasting her precious time. Then she unravels a ball of paper and hands it to us. Suprise, a menu. We thanked her kindly and her response to our thank you was silence. I said thank you again… silence again. Then she stood there waiting once more. As my mom begin to order and ask questions she rolled her eyes and looked down for the rest of the order… pursing her lips as though taking our order was the equivalent of being forced to clean a restroom. Beautiful restaurant. We were hot, starving, tired and just trying to enjoy the breeze; however an attitude plastered on the face of some bar chic quickly soured the mood and though we cpuld have stayed, there is PLENTY more food in new york city. Pier 66 Maritime ought to have a few more staceys and taras cause im not sure where that young lady came from. Still starving. but folks should know none pf us are obligated to it with your restaurant. …fix your face and serve if thats what you signed up for… and I promise, we tip pretty damn well ;-)

This place was good back in the day. Now it is just a place to no nothing 20 something bridge and tunnel folks. I was there early for Memorial Day. First of all they proofed us all in our 40 plus. Not cool. The service stinks. Having to wait 45 minutes for fast food is NOT acceptable. At one point they said,“We are NOT taking food orders??? What” No seaford anyomore??? Crazy. Not staff to be found anywhere.
Ladies room dirty.
Maybe if you are twenty and can’t afford the rent this is good for you. Not me! If you have any class avoid this place.

What a horribly rude staff!!!
Called in advance and gave an ETA, were told they were open until midnight, were greeted with «you have 10 minutes to order food» at 8:15. HIGHLY recommend avoiding this one for the piss poor staff alone!!!

We finished biking along the Hudson River Greenway bike path today and wanted to get something to eat. My daughter wanted a place by the water so we came across Pier 66 Maritime on Unilocal.What a great discover for us it was! Casual atmosphere with a beautiful view of the Hudson River and the NJ skyline. you can catch a great view of the sunset here. Very romantic. However Please note this is a place where you order and pickup your food at the counter and find you own table type of restaurant. No waiter services. Also food is served on plastic plate and utensils (I would have give it a five stàr if they provide real plates and utensils). It was prefect for my family to relax and watch the sunset after a day of biking.

There’s good seating along this pier and it’s not too boring. A girl can only stare at the Hudson River so long.
What’s nice is the Frying Pan restaurant – while pricey, but very tasty – is at the pier.
If you’re into water sports, you can find that here. If you’d rather watch, grab a seat and sit back. If you’re in the mood for a bike ride or a run, there’s a path nearby.
It’s a lovely spot. The only bad thing is it’s several blocks away from the closest train station.

Yes, Pier 66 is home to the infamous Frying Pan. Go read the reviews for that here
.
Other than enjoying the sight of young ladies trying to wiggle their way to and from the fry pan without their stilettos falling through the large gaps in the wooden planks on this pier in the warmer months, pier 66 is also the home port for a variety of water sports. You can learn to or master your skills in the kayak, canoe, and sailboat.
Spending the day out in the water and sunset sipping coronas on the frying pan makes for the perfect NYC summer day experience!

Very cool atmosphere! I came here on a Saturday right as the clock hit noon and it was not busy — within 30 mins the place was packed, so let that be a tip! Get a seat right by the water and enjoy yourself. Good food, but overpriced as expected. I loved the hummus and crab cake was really tasty. My friends had the burger and lemon chicken sandwich (both decent).

If you want to do anything water-​related, Pier 66 is where it’s at. I came upon here as it’s home to the NY Outrigger organization and I was partaking in a novice session.
There are showers, toilets and even small lockers (bring your own locks) at the facility.
Pier 66 is also home to the bar known as the Frying Pan. Wanting a beer after being out of the water has never been easier.

Came here for a date and had a great time! It’s an old ship along the Hudson that they converted into a restaurant. I came here for dinner in the summer and it was packed! I ordered the lemon-​herb chicken breast wrap and it was really good. full of flavor and came with a salad. My date had the burger which he enjoyed as well. The atmosphere is really nice and while it was packed with people, we were still able to have a good conversation with each other. I think that this would also be a good place to have dinner with friends as it is really chill and you can order a bucket of coronas and share it with them.
The only con is finding a place to sit. Since I went in the summer, this seemed to be a popular after work hang out and there were plenty of business people drinking beers and eating food. It did take some time finding seats, about 20 minutes. There are plenty of tables with plastic chairs scattered around and they are some what close together. Luckily, my date was able to find a little 2 seater table on the side so while we were surrounded by people, it was kind of private in a way too which was great.
Hudson river park is also a couple steps away so it’s a great place to take a stroll after dinner! And the wonderful views of the city, Hudson, and NJ are always a plus!

Too much fun!
Oh NY. How I love thee. This place is great. It’s basically an old ship turned into a hip hangout for fun, drinks. and greasy food. I literally spent an entire day here.
Pros:
— If you get a good seat, it’s a great place to people watch and relax.
— The service is fast.
— The food is greasy deliciousness.
— The sangria is great!
Cons:
— It is very hard to get a table, so you literally half to stalk one until someone leaves.
— $$$$ you can easily drop a days wages here.
— Long lines for the bathrooms.
— Sunburn.
I loved it and would definitely be back!
