50 Best Bars near Forest Hills

“One of my favorite bars to go to on the weekends! The food and service is great. Nachos and the sliders are always the best, great selection of beer and cocktails. The music could be a little lower since you can barely have a conversation with another person.“

“Excellent service and menu! We had a wonderful night.“

“O'hanlons pub is a feel good neighborhood bar that has felt like home and given me many warm memories.“

“The food the service overall everything is impeccable“

“Another fantastic dinner at PS Kitchen. Highly recommend the Thai Chili wings, crabby cakes and Brussel Sprouts. Our table also had the Linguini Alfredo, Cesar wrap and the Thai Sweet Chili Sandwich. We didn’t like the pretzel bun but otherwise everything was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Staff are friendly and we did not feel rushed. Will definitely be coming again and highly recommend.“

“Please please please stop coming here all of you folks who don’t care about the care that this place is bringing to you.Make a reservation.Respect the process.This place is gorgeous and is the reason we drink (or the reason drinking is joyful and not just a slow decline).Table side sazerac or martini. Enjoy. Live.TIP THE STAFF! They’re essentially making you a Disneyland level illusion. Not the space which is *chefs kiss* but the movement of the staff. Slow. Intentional. Well educated in past and current manners.Truly this place is special and will stay special if talk show up like you’re in booze church.Put on an outfit goddamnit. Flirt w the bartenders. But don’t interrupt!Be sexy have fun try more absinthe.“

“That was the best restaurant meal I’ve have ever had. The lobster risotto was unbelievable and the duck appetizer was so delicious. I will recommend this restaurant to everyone! We loved sitting upstairs in the corner. The staff and service were outstanding.“

“Came back a second time and can officially say Tong Brooklyn in Bushwick is the best Thai food I know of in NYC, in the same class as LA and Thailand. And one of my favorite restaurants periodt. Everything has been top tier and filled with delight and surprise.“

“Had a brunch here by myself on Sunday for a bottomless mimosas time and had a blast. I ordered a burger and what made it the best experience for me is the warmth and hospitality provided by Rachel!! She is such a sweetheart and I see her every brunch I chose to come here. Her welcoming attitude and friendliness makes it a better part of my day having a hangover brunch so thank you, Essex, for incredible times“

“Excellent food, each item special“

“We found this gem of a bar/restaurant and visited five or six times. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff very professional and friendly. Eddie provided excellent service and Gabriel the owner is so welcoming and friendly and has time for everyone. The food was out of this world - particular mentions are Ravioli Zucca and the Brasato di Costolette di Manzo (short ribs to die for). The bomboloni (Italian doughnuts with chocolate and caramel sauces) is one of the best desserts I’ve had! We would definitely recommend this place. It’s in an excellent location opposite Central Park.“

“We came in last Thursday night for some pre dinner drinks while on vacation and we're so glad we found this spot! Our trip was drink/food focused and the bartenders here did not disappoint. My husband and our friend had a "Ramos Gin Fizz", (which was literally like the best cocktail I have ever tasted), I would have had one myself but I was already three deep into the Cucumber Mint Collins (which was also delicious)! There was a great live band playing and it was just what we needed after not being in the city for so long. Can't wait to come back!! Did I mention the bartenders were awesome? (It needed to be said twice).“

“Wend to Avoca without a reservation on a Saturday morning, we were grateful to get a table without having to wait too long; but then the table turned out to be in the aisle between the entrance to the kitchen and the bathroom on a very tight and on the way spot. I feel like that table should not exist at all since it was just a risk of getting hit by trays and being uncomfortably on the way. For food, I had a coffee, a single mimosa (bottomless is also an option but was not feeling it at the time) and the avocado toast which was delicious and very filling. The service was polite but a bit slow , which is expected given how packet the restaurant was on a Saturday morning. Would recommend and be back , with a reservation next time!“

“ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid“

“We really enjoyed Vinegar Hill! It was a fantastic find! Delicious food, great atmosphere and excellent service!“

“A gem in the neighborhood. I never had a bad meal there. They are consitant with their food.“

“Believe what everyone says! This place is it! Food is 10/10 across the board! Service is courteous and efficient! Although the Lychee Martinis contain no vodka (Saki instead) they are fab and definitely get you buzzed! Ask for Yammie when you come! She’s the sweetest! You won’t regret visiting this establishment!!!“

“we sat at the bar tonight (sunday). our server/bar tender danny was so knowledgeable of all the dishes and how to space out each corse. also made the best old fashioned— and we have a high standard for them. will 100% be coming back with our friends.“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“Some of the best drinks in the city mixed with delicious food. If you are looking to fill that amaro-forward bitter cocktail crave, this is your place. The cocktails are expertly crafted with care towards the floral and delicate flavors. Don’t scoff at either the Appletini or the Espresso Martini, they will best any iteration you have had anywhere else. Lastly…though it’s not on the menu…ask for a Vesper; you won’t be disappointed.“

“Love it! Beer was at least half the price of anywhere else!“

“Had a birthday celebration here and the food was so delicious. Staff super friendly. The place itself was LES style, seemingly cramped but as a native I know that’s just how things were built back then. Glad my sister made the reservation to eat here ✨“

“Most delicious authentic Georgian cuisine, friendly and attentive stuff, convenient East Midtown location, reasonable prices - highly recommended“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“I’m so happy our original Christmas Eve reservation was cancelled and we found this gem. It was perfect. Romantic ambience, beyond excellent service, food was delicious, drinks were strong. My boyfriend and I shared: Appetizers: -Seared scallops: I know right, scallops. Generic usually? But these were in an amazing sauce which was devoured with our side of bread. -Octopus carpaccio: Perfect amount of freshness to balance the rich scallops. Main: -The wood fired fish for two: they brought the fish out from the kitchen to show us the fish in flames and that was very cute and appreciated -Meatless Rigatoni: I seriously held on to this dish to the very last moments even though I didn’t have enough room to finish it lol I was obsessed with the sauce Dessert: - Panna Cotta: the balsamic reduction was something I did not expect with this dessert but it was magical“

“Been meaning to check this out for a while now and finally got to it, and now I’m kicking myself for not going earlier. Everyone’s right about the Mussels, they’re not to be missed. Burrata and Pork Shoulder Pasta were also a hit. Drinks are creative and tasty! This is definitely a restaurant where you’ll want to go back to try every item. Staff was very friendly, kitchen bar is a fun spot. Loved!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Fantastic service, fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere“

“Came here on a Saturday night and it definitely has a cozy vibe with the dark wood and dim lighting; good spot for a date or hang with friends. Was able to be seated in the back and they were playing the fight on tv, which was nice, albeit makes it feel a little more casual.Kitchen was open till 11, which was great. The pastrami sandwich was delicious and the kale Caesar was good, but would say go for the sandwich/ burgers. Would definitely come back.“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“The food was tasty & delicious! It also was prepared & served expeditiously. The Hostess and Wait staff were pleasant & professional. I just wish the space was larger!“

“Had my wedding reception dinner here with 3 other couples. Comfortable seating, good food, great cocktails and great service. We never felt rushed or bothered and the food came out in exactly the right amount of time. My only wish was for the live music to be postponed later as it was a bit loud for us. Food is solid standards, nothing spectacular but all very good and reasonable portions. Look out for cilantro in the pasta if you’re sensitive to that.“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“We had such a great meal at Monkey Bar! Place has a real cool supper club vibe. The food was delicious, the vibes were excellent, and our waiter Maurice went above and beyond. He was very hospitable and is a real pro. Thank you to Maurice and the team! We look forward to coming back again soon.“

“Service is on point very friendly staff. Food is pretty good.“

“New favorite spot in Astoria! We got almost all the apps and some mains and everything was delicious. Service was super friendly and attentive. Music was A+. Drinks were creative and delicious. Such a good place to host a party or stop in for dinner after work. Thank you!!“

“Celebrated our anniversary at Sea Fire Grill and it exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. A solid 10/10!“

“Best food, wines and service!“

“Currently visiting from Australia, what was only meant to be a quick pub feed turned into our favourite place in NY. Breifne was amazing, he always had outstanding customer service and smile on his face even in the busiest times. His friendly and welcoming attitude resulted in us returning 5 times through out our stay. Thoroughly enjoyed many delicious margaritas made by him! Overall was a great environment that made us feel safe and relaxed with a great atmosphere.“

“Iconic Williamsburg brunch with a divine menu. The pancakes were deliciously fluffy study syrup that didn't overpower. Sandwiches looked great too. Quality of food and unbeatable location are the highlights of this venue for me. Excellent coffee.“

“Wow place was amazing, food was delicious , service was excellent. Place is a must come back to for all occasions. music and dancing is also an extra.“

“Beautiful bar and people , I felt at home and am new to the area but enjoy and recommend. I am impressed.“

“What a delightful spot for fresh meats and veg served up with a smile. Great wine selection and other alcoholic beverages. The outdoor space in the garden is stylishly appointed, and the indoor seating offers community tables and smaller tables. Absolutely love the food here!“

“Came on a Friday night and it was not too busy. We ordered the volcano momos and the goat curry set. Enjoyed the variety of small dishes that accompanied the goat curry and rice, including the potatoes, papadam was amazing, pickled radish and the yogurt dessert. The momo fillings were nice, we hoped that the volcano soup is more hot and spicy.“

“I had an amazing time at this speakeasy! My group of 4 had a reservation.I think the expectations are pretty clear- if you expect to walk-in to an exclusive speakeasy, go early; if you're wish to go later, get a resy. People will be turned away if they're at capacity, especially if a big reservation is booked. It doesn't matter if your friends are inside- they have to follow code.The vibe is REALLY fun- it feels like a swanky house party with awesome music and drinks. I think the service was great for how busy it was. I only drank is beers, but my friends had fun cocktails and shots. Everyone is so friendly.They also put a gratuity charge on larger party's bills, so that's helpful.I love speakeasies. Cannot recommend RRLIC enough!“

“Amazing food and service.will definitely be back!“

“We were at Ginny's Supper club downstairs at Red Rooster for the Sunday Gospel Brunch. The BEST way to spend Mother's Day, given that I couldn't be with my kids. My husband and I loved it! The food was great- fried chicken and mac n cheese with collard greens. And the concert was fantastic- those amazing voices! Tell the audience there's mousse served at the end of the buffet dinner. A lovely surprise but we were full.“

“Was on an afternoon walk with a friend. Stopped in and had a drink and had the Guacamole as an appetizer.. I gotta say they were both delicious. Only thing I wana say is that they added a credit card charge when I was paying cash. But was taken care of when I brought it to there attention. Otherwise the place was spot on.. Definitely gona try the Ceviche and the avocado margarita next time..P.s. they have backyard seating!!!!“

“Great every time. Everything is beyond menu description.“
