5 Best Cocktail Bars near Long Island City

“Good food! Loved the grilled octopus and branzino -- a must try! Lobster pasta was tasty but it was a bit on the sweeter side; I would skip it next time. Focaccia was unique but I think it's a bit overhyped. Overall, service was friendly, food was good, and the ambiance was chill. I would definitely go back.“

“Definitely the best cocktail bar in Astoria at this moment. Best place for a friend gathering or a date. The few places in Astoria where you can talk to someone without shouting over the music, while still having privacy with the volume level.The vibes, the exceptional service that you can’t really find anywhere, my group of 6 friends were accommodated last minute no problem. Rare find. Recommend to anyone looking for an intimate place in this area. Great bar selection!“

“Beautiful interior design, cute booths, ample space despite the relatively small store footprint. Lunch sets were excellent! We ordered 2 lunch sets + an extra main which is just right for two people with large appetites. The double cooked pork and spicy chicken were exceptional - honestly a quality I’d expect in China. The eggplant dish was a bit too sweet (and I’m from an area that eats sweet) but cooked just right otherwise. Ingredient quality was excellent. Highly recommend going for lunch!“

“Great food. Amazing staff! regular menu is always a hit.. but the New brunch menu Sat & Sun? ! It is off the hook! Check out margarita Mondays for some tasty margs & vibes! So many great events.. Djs every other Fridays right after trivia… Def a hidden gem in sunny side ?“

“Coffee was good and my wife enjoyed her cocktail. We never seen black salt on a drink. The staff was nice but they did take a little long to cut a piece of cake and banana loaf. The carrot cake was great but the banana loaf was not so much. Tasted bland and burnt but I doubt they made it to order. Needless to say I finished ever crumb of my cake and only one bite was taken out of that “loaf.” Otherwise cool place would be back to see how the evenings are“
