Dudleys: An Australian Corner Pub on Orchard With Brunch, Cocktails and a Happy Hour
Dudleys has anchored the corner of Orchard and Broome since 2012 — an Australian corner-pub-and-bistro from the team behind Ruby’s and Kingswood. It’s best known for brunch, but the bar runs a proper craft-cocktail happy hour: $5 draft beer, $10 wine, $12 cocktails.
About Dudleys
Dudleys opened in 2012 in the old Little Giant space, brought to you by the Australian group behind Ruby’s (three NYC locations) and Kingswood. It’s designed as a quintessential Australian corner pub-and-bistro — refined all-day food, a craft cocktail and natural-wine list, and a room as comfortable as a friend’s living room. They’ve since opened a deli next door serving coffee and soft serve.
The Happy Hour in Detail
The Dudleys happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 4:30 to 6:30pm, bringing $5 draught beer, $10 wine and $12 cocktails — think a well-made Tommy’s margarita. The room is open daily from 9am to midnight with the kitchen running until 10:30pm, so it’s a flexible spot for an after-work drink on the way home.
What to Order
The Ricotta Hotcakes are the signature — order them. Beyond that, the Big Brekkie, the mushroom benedict, and the fries with aioli (locals call them legendary) are the standbys, plus truffle fries, a rotisserie chicken and a fried chicken sandwich. The cocktails hold up to the food.
The Space & Vibe
A tiny, homely room built around a chic circular bar — inviting, a little hip, the kind of corner spot you settle into. The outdoor structure on the southwest corner of Broome and Orchard is draped in greenery and genuinely pleasant. Note they don’t take reservations for parties under six.
The Lower East Side Angle
Dudleys sits at 85 Orchard Street on the corner of Broome, right by the Tenement Museum, a short walk from Delancey–Essex (F/J/M/Z).
