Lillie's Victorian Bar and Restaurant Midtown West

This is Lillie's Victorian Bar and Restaurant in Midtown West or Times Square location. I actually pick up my bus to go home in this area, so was thrilled when they opened this location. They have another in the Union Square area as well which I have visited on previous trips. 

How is this for a door? Just love love it! They really do the theme well here, paying homage to Lillie Langtry, who you can read all about HERE on their website. She was quite the socialite back in her day!! 

The food is very tasty and made fresh for you. Menu is a mix of seafood, burgers, salads, chicken and typical fare you would find in a pub environment. Great for lunch or dinner or late night snack. 

I loved the windows and all the vintage items they show you!! 

This sink was in the location at Union Square, not sure if the Times Square location has it too but OMG, it was fabulous! I just happened to have my camera in my purse when I visited the bathroom and had to photograph this sink. So fun to use and right in the spirit of the place!! 

Did I say I loved this door? A great addition to this area, which also houses the famous Donna Bell's Bake Shop, just down the street !! 

Reservations can be made through Open Table, which I love, makes it so easy to dine where you wish in the city. I always feel you are better to make the reservation than not because you never know how busy a place may be once you arrive.

A Revisit to Lillie's Victorian Bar

So for my charity bus trip to the city in October, I picked a new restaurant. Well, 2 to be exact as the one for lunch was wonderful but that 's another post. This is the dinner post. Lillie's Victorian Bar located East 17th Street in Union Square was an interesting choice. If you love Victorian decor...this is the place for you......

the outside is very Victorian as well as inside 

they serve lunch and dinner and reservations can be made on Open Table

it is named for Lillie Langtry and here is some info on her from Lillie's website:

Lillie was born Emilie Le Breton and raised on the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. At age 20 she was married to the Irish land-owner Edward Langtry. Lillie became an acknowledged beauty of her era, an A-list guest, an actress, a model, mistress to the future king of England, and an inspiration for poetry and plays by Oscar Wilde. Known affectionately by her many friends as “The Jersey Lillie”, she moved to America in 1887 and became an entrepreneur and society hostess.

the decor is really amazing and is the clear star of this place

the bar area and furnishings were acquired from a Victorian mansion in Ireland 

I loved these gorgeous columns and the gold detail on the top 

our dinners were this excellent Crab cake which was all real crab

spinach pie - so yummy and generous size as well 

coconut shrimp...anytime coconut and shrimp are married it is one to last a lifetime!!

this was the most unique sink I ever saw....don't ask me why I took my camera to the bathroom as that isn't important but Look at this Sink !! The water trickles down to that little ledge (not sure what to call it!!) and from there goes into your hands. 

Lillie's was a fun place and great for a drink and something light to eat. The company I had for dinner was quite nice as well which makes it an even better treat!! They also had live music playing and they have a location near Times Square at West 49th and 8th Avenue. I am hoping to check out the Times Square location in a few weeks.
