38 Best Cocktail Bars in Astoria

“This bar is amazing and is one of my favorites in the neighborhood. They have fantastic Happy Hour deals ($10 cocktails and $1 oysters). The oysters are huge and fresh.

Also wanted to give a huge shout out to the jazz band on Sundays. They’re incredible musicians and really elevate the experience.

Highly recommend this gem of a bar!“

“Incredible cocktail/beer bar with a completely original vibe. I've been coming here since they opened in 2015 and it's been a consistently fun experience. Beyond their great cocktail/beer lineup, their greatest offering is perhaps the unique array of frozen drinks that start up in Spring and last until the autumn. Frozen paper planes, penicillins, a boozy take on a mango lassi (!)...and so much more. And a hell of a backyard to boot...you simply gotta go here.“

“When we stepped in,we loved the vibes right away. The 2 gentlemen welcomed us with a big smile.
The one Who made our drinks he really knows what he’s doing.
The best mixologist!!
Music was perfect in the background smooth not too loud!
LYCHEE ME ALONE fantastic! Classic mojito also. I don’t drink often,but when I will go out next time for a drink or two,it will be here again.
We had a great time!“

“Best old fashions in Astoria.“

“Reservations highly recommended since it’s a small spot. Every dish was honestly great, so excited to go back to try their other stuff, but the beef longganisa and ube ko achar I would def order again in a heartbeat. The sauce for the gnocchi and the skewer were 10/10. Also, their Green Leaf drink with pandan - SO GOOD.

My favorite desserts are literally silvanas and cheese ice cream, so it’s def their own version of these classic Filipino desserts, but satisfied with how they interpreted them.

Can’t wait to come back!“

“Had a great time at Bar Dalia having a birthday party yesterday. Ricky, Crystal and Megan made sure everything went smooth. Bryan was very helpful in coordinating and planning. We had about 20 guests in the back lounge area which was just for our party. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was very quick. Highly recommend for having parties or going on date nights.“

“I definitely recommend ! Perfect spot to hangout with family and friends ! Thank you abhi for a very fun weekend“

“Love love love. Been here a couple times now and plan on coming back many more. Wonderful staff and delicious food surrounded by a super fun environment. The bartender sang a few songs on a Saturday night and the whole restaurant lit up. A wonderful place to spend time in the neighborhood.“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“Food was phenomenal, loved everything, one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at“

“Very nice place to get some tacos and drinks, they have an outdoor area so now that the weather is getting warmer its perfect. Drinks also come with a popsicle, very fun and tasty. Highly recommend the tacos, the chicken mole was okay, not my favorite, but not bad either. Flan was creamy and delicious. Also they allow dogs if you’re sitting outside, I brought mine and they even filled his water bowl :) we will be returning!“

“Figlia was the perfect pre-marathon carb load spot. The handmade pasta was absolutely incredible; fresh, perfectly textured, and the kind of pasta you can immediately tell is made in-house with care. And the Neapolitan pizza? Easily one of the best I’ve had in NYC. Light, airy crust with that perfect char and high-quality ingredients that speak for themselves. The whole atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and authentically Italian without trying too hard. Absolutely a neighborhood gem!“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“Cool place for Beer! The food is good! I had the cheese curds for appetizer and steak & eggs 🍳 All if it was very good! 👌🏽“

“Love a corner restaurant! Staff is always so cool and welcoming. The cocktails are well designed, the space is dark and comfy for groups but I think it’s especially sexy for a date night. I know that offer a few fun happy hour “girl dinner options”. However my obsession lies with the chicken dinner, which normally would not be my go to at a spot, but this dish has a hold on me. It’s such a good size that you could share it but it’s also so delicious you don’t want to. The chicken is pounded thin but still juicy and subtly sweet, comes with an amazing pairing of crazy creamy polenta and this somehow addictive kale, but the true star is the smoky sauce that I want to bathe in. So divine! If they ever got rid of it I would cry.“

“Amazingly romantic vibe…..fantastic food and ambience. Service was 5 stars.“

“The guys who own this place are genuinely such great people, which is very much reflected in their business! They've also hired equally personable staff who always greet you with a smile. The food crushes as well (I'll legit fight your mom for that smash burger) and the drinks are somehow always quick to arrive even when it's busy. I'm so happy to call Wylie's my new neighborhood hang.“

“I had my birthday here such a great place to have any celebration, the food was amazing the wait time for the food was not too long, and The staff was friendly and willing to help making it special and enjoyable. The price was too high though that was the only thing that was the issue. But I recommend this place“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Wednesday night’s jam session is the best around. The quality of the musicians who stop by and play a couple of tunes is first class!“

“Had a very nice dinner with the family. One of the only restaurants on Ditmars Blvd where you can hear each other talking. Food was great and our waiter was attentive. The manager came by to make sure every table was happy. Prices were great. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Wonderful decor and a very attentive and kind staff. They listened, checked in often, and even gave a free dessert after hearing that we were celebrating a birthday. One of the dishes did take a bit long but it easily could have been the dish itself or the timing and wasn't enough to detract from 5 stars“

“Pasta, al dente. Sauce, out of this world. Vibes, off the charts. Il Nonno is such a breath of fresh (basil-filled) air. Last night, I stopped in with my friends for dinner and --more than once--after one side of the table tried a dish and implored the other to try, our eyes met in total food joy. "Oh my gah...this is SO good" was uttered too many times to count. Now let's get to the nitty, gritty. Our picks: Porcini ravioli (homemade pasta, phenomenal) Seafood risotto (menu says it's in a light tomato sauce. Definitely light, but it's far more flavorful than what I consider "light tomato sauce") Pasta Bolognese (another handmade wonder, lusciously complex sauce). Pasta Siciliana this one has eggplant and ricotta in a ROBUST sauce. Squid Ink Seafood Pasta was out of control. Like I need more savory adjectives in my life to describe this adequately. Apps. We loved all equally, but I mean calamari fritti is a no-brainer here and I literally had to slap the bread out of one friend's hand because she'd say she was full but relentlessly dipped more and more bread into the white wine mussels broth! The tuna carpaccio was almost too pretty to eat buuuut...we scarfed it down. Finally, Dessert. Chocolate cake (go with me here...you could smell the warm chocolate as it approached the table, incredible). Tiramisu, not too sweet, not too "damp"...perfection. And quite possibly even better than the banging food, we were lucky enough to chat up the delightful owner who introduced us to the chef (who happened to come from a VERY well-known Italian restaurant in Manhattan)! And all of the culinary magic instantly made sense. Don't walk. Don't run. Teleport to this place. Your taste buds will love you for it.“

“great ambiance, lots of different beers. highly recommend.“

“Great local bar with an extensive and impressive draft list. We happened to be there during a (very well attended!) trivia night. You can tell this place has a loyal following, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.“

“Great vibes Asia and Fabiana“

“5/29 was my first time going to this restaurant for a birthday dinner and they did not disappoint at all. Its like they found a way to blend the astoria night live vibe with the service of formal steak house. Food was great, drinks were good but most of all the service was elite. My server's name was Chris. This man was on point with everything, professional and attentive so if you get the chance ask for Chris you wont be disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for great food with good music. I will be returning soon!“

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“Wonderful Experience great service and wonderful food“

“I recently dined at this charming Italian restaurant and was genuinely impressed. From the moment we walked in, the warm lighting, rustic décor, and welcoming staff created an inviting atmosphere that felt both elegant and comfortable.

We started with bruschetta and calamari — both fresh and beautifully presented. For the main course, I ordered the Gnocchi Cacio Pepe My friend chose the Margherita pizza, and the thin crust was crisp with just the right balance of tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil.

The service was attentive without being intrusive, and our server offered thoughtful wine pairing suggestions that elevated the meal.“

“Everything on the menu is delicious. Highly recommended. And the service is friendly and excellent.“

“My new fav spot! I will be going again this week for my birthday 🎂“

“atmosfera piekne barmanki“

“Great authentic Italian food. Quaint, fantastic service, they always play the best music!“

“A very beautiful space with cozy sofas, interior and light. The food wasn’t something crazy about: we took potatoes, parsnip soup, and tiramisu latte, they were okay. The place by itself was a little bit dirty on the floor, and some details, as a server that didn’t know that tiramisu includes alcohol in a recipe, and the fact that the same coffee was served in different cups, brought a feeling of mess, however I want to come back for lazy mornings atmosphere.
We parked right near the main entrance, however it’s under construction zone now.“

“Fun welcoming great chill spot.“

“Great atmosphere, drinks and food where amazing the staff was attentive and fast.“
