50 Best Cocktail Bars near Bayside

“tasty drinks, talented staff, beautiful ambiance.“

“The $30 AYCE weekday lunch special is a great deal.
I pay an extra $10 to add a whole lobster, so for $40 I'm getting an amazing lunch plus a generous amsoze whole lobster. For me, That's a much better deal than spending over $50 for dinner and no included lobster for that price.

On the other hand if you are more of a snow crab person, The higher price dinner includes that.
still I would look to Wednesdays because I think they may have a BOGO on snow crab (non-AYCE).“

“Bareburger is one of my favorite burger spots! Their grass-fed beef burgers are incredible and I love that they truly cater to every dietary need. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan you name it, it’s all clearly listed on the menu, making it easy for everyone to find something delicious. The sweet potato fries are always perfectly cooked and so tasty. On top of that, the service is amazing. Sadia, in particular, is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about making sure customers leave happy. I highly recommend Bareburger for anyone looking for a delicious, inclusive, and welcoming burger experience.“

“Great addition to the bar scene on Bell Blvd. Food options were great and drinks were even better, they always some great happy hour deals on both! They also do game day specials, the manager was very informative and the staff was very attentive. Highly recommend for group outtings.“

“I am absolutely thrilled to share my heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of the Center for the Women of New York (CWNY), for the incredible support we received from Avo Taco during our recent fundraising gala, Taste Around The World Fort Totten. Avo Taco truly went above and beyond, and their contribution made this night truly unforgettable. As an organization that heavily relies on the generosity of local restaurants, we couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and enthusiastic partner than Avo Taco. They not only delivered but exceeded all expectations. Avo Taco's commitment to our cause was evident from the moment they stepped in. Avo Taco brought more than just delicious food to our event; they brought a whole atmosphere of festivity. Their staff's warm and friendly presence added a wonderful touch to the evening. The tacos they served were an absolute delight – bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The guacamole paired with tortilla chips was a crowd-pleaser, and their attention to detail, right down to the decorative beads, truly helped create a festive ambiance. Avo Taco's generous contribution played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our fundraising gala. It's businesses like these that make a significant difference in our community, and their dedication to giving back does not go unnoticed. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Avo Taco to everyone in search of not only delicious food but also a business that is deeply committed to its community. Avo Taco, thank you for making our event a resounding success, and we look forward to continuing to support your business as a token of our appreciation for your unwavering commitment to ours.

“Had a wonderful time celebrating my son’s birthday! Great food, cocktails and company!“

“Best Empanadas in the HISTORY of empanadas! #AyeDiosMio!“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Be sure to check out karaoke on Mondays. The karaoke system they use is Karafun. It has a wide selection of songs. The karaoke mics are a little faulty, meaning they will go in and out during your songs.
All the Bartenders are no-nonsense, so it does feel pretty strict, but I'd rather that bartenders who chat too much with their friends and always take smoke breaks...
Drinks are reasonably priced, and the alcohol pour is sometimes too weak.“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“I stumbled upon this place by accident while browsing the map, and it turned out to be an incredible culinary experience. The special summer menu was especially impressive. I tried the burrata, steak tartare, summer tomato soup, striped bass, and the Harvest Burger—every dish was delicious. Friendly staff and a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“excelente 👌 el servicio es de lo mejor la música la comida y el ambiente“

“Had an amazing time. The staff were super nice. Would definitely recommend and go back.“

“I recommend everyone that requires excellent pallet for their dining pleasure, service that is second to none and great mixology, then Have It Haviland’s Way“

“Great spot for a date night or just sitting by the bar for small bites and drinks! The food here was amazing. We've been here a few times and usually get a few small plates to share and every dish is fantastic, particularly the Spanish meatballs and the fresh calamari! The drinks are always great and feel like they're made with fresh ingredients!

This is definitely a hidden gem for those who are local but also deserves all the hype it can get.“

“Great little place with amazing ambiance and delicious food. Can't wait to come back.“

“I have eaten there many times and have always been happy with the food. The staff is very helpful and the restaurant is very relaxing .“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The welcome was warm, genuine, and inviting. The atmosphere made me feel like family from the start. And the food? Absolutely amazing! Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and prepared with love. You can truly tell that they take pride in both their service and their food. I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to come back!“

“Cute cocktail spot nestled in Ridgewood. We were poking around some of the stores nearby and then stopped in for a drink - though we didn’t try, the Monday Greek specials were a pretty good deal, and the cocktails we did order were both good! It’s a unique bar for the area and I’m interested to try the downstairs (bartender said it’s a music / event space) next time when it’s not 5pm on a Monday lol.“

“The second time here... Very nice atmosphere, "real chill"... Very good music. People are kind.... And the girl who works here is so kind and polite. She is awsome. ❤️“

“Blouse an Skirt is a refreshing tropical cocktail made with Ciroc Pine-apple Vodka, passion fruit, a splash of fresh lime juice, and a touch of simple syrup. Smooth, fruity, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy, it's a vibrant island-inspired drink that's easy to enjoy and packed with tropical flavor. Its a must have!!!! Bartender send another one lol“

“Amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a little slice of Puerto Rico! The flavors are authentic, and every bite takes me right back to my island. The owners have poured so much love into the new location, beautifully painting different stories that showcase the rich history of Puerto Rico. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment is evident in every detail. I also deeply respect how involved they are with the community—it’s inspiring to see a business so committed to making a positive impact. Highly recommend!“

“Came here with my mom, who is very very hard to please, and she left saying this is the best Italian she’s had in her 28 years in New York. Great portion sizes, prices, and very fresh ingredients. Could not recommend this place more!“

“It’s rare that I rate any place a 5. I really wanted a birria pizza for my birthday but they ran out of birria. Destiny went above and beyond to make it up to me. She surprised me with a bunch of other options that were amazing! Surf and turf tacos, and chicken tinga tacos are a 10/10! Very professional, very sweet!“

“Love this place . Nice drinks and beautiful environment . Very cute bartenders. Lindo demais . ❤️😎“

“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.“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Nice place, music was good but it was noted to be warm considering it is a roof-top lounge but it was cold and made my stay a little short. The cocktail drinks tasted more like cocktails, very little alcohol. I had 2 drinks and not even a buzz. Otherwise nice place for a hangout.“

“My experience at this place has always been remarkable very congenial awesome staff overall excellent food no matter what and I can’t wait to come back sincerely, LindaC“

“Chef Kevin @Theranchhousemineola The Food Was Aboslutely DELICOUS!!! From the Chicken, to The Stuffing, to The Rack Of Lamb, To The Clams Casino! ButterNut Squash Ravioli, Mac And Cheese, There Was Flavor In Every Bite! I am Not Surprised, Because I know Chef Kevin Can Cook!!! We Are Ordering For Christmas As Well! Thank You!!!!“

“So happy to find a place near us that offers Gluten Free options for breaded chicken and French fries!! As the parent of a child with celiac it's amazing to find a place that is aware of cross contamination and has a dedicated GF fryer!“

“Staff was very polite, friendly and the food was great and fresh. I highly recommend.“

“Great food and cool ambiance!“

“Delicious food, good service, and a massive selection of agave-based drinks. Lovely ambiance / decor inside, and the dishes/bowls that they use are also lovely (and for sale, apparently). The place is among the most expensive in the neighborhood by a decent margin, but you certainly do feel like you're having an elevated experience (and the food was surprisingly filling).
We started with the trio of moles which were delicious, though the lightest one they offered did taste surprisingly close to vodka / tomato sauce, they provided tortillas which was nice but not nearly enough (we had to ask for more and then they charged us extra for it, despite not giving us enough the first time). The menu is rather short, so make sure there are things you like before going. The tlayuda with added meat was delicious, as were the tacos (which were $10 each) and the fluke aguachile also good (watermelon in summer is always a welcome treat).“

“Went to Double with my girlfriend to watch the Knicks game and had a really fabulous time. The food was great; drinks were very good and the atmosphere was perfect for the game. Loved the New York crowd and the Bartenders treated us really well. Great spot in general for a relaxed date night.“

“great music 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶“

“Great staff! Lots of options to choose from and elderly and kid friendly!“

“Worth the visit! Many people might not know about this place, but it’s owned by famous Nepali singer Bikki Gurung(Mari jau)❤

If you’re looking for a karaoke night, don’t waste your money elsewhere when you can enjoy free karaoke with a drink here. You also get a chance to meet him and his sister in person — she’s incredibly sweet.

I really enjoyed the time we spent talking and had an amazing experience overall.🍀

Will visit again“

“Amazingly delicious food and equally fantastic staff!! We ate there earlier today and were blown away! They even made something that we requested that wasn't on the menu and it was better than we've ever had! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming too! We will definitely be going here regularly and suggest everybody else does too. I promise you won't regret it!!“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“I love to travel, and Revel restaurant in Garden City, NY, is truly one of the best restaurants I have been to. The managerial staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Melissa, our server, explained everything so well, and she took her time with us. The wait staff worked with her seamlessly so that everything came out on time, and our water glasses were always full. The cuisine offered so many different choices, even for vegetarians and vegans. The vegetarian dishes I tried were a myriad of flavors, and it was so nice to experience new creations that I have never had at any other restaurant. Revel’s decor and lighting made us feel like we were somewhere very special but also comfortable. If I lived near this restaurant, I would visit frequently. We loved our experience.“

“This a great place to spend with family and friends, very efficient and very comfortable service, Johanna and Laydi two people I meet since I arrived to the place leyes very efficient on her job to provide us a table and service Johanna the waitress checking us every time, very nice music different country in the house babyyyyyy… very nice ambient 😇I just love it and recommend it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻“

“Love this cozy little bar! The owners are the best! They really made this bar such a friendly good experience! They only take cash venmo or cashapp. The cocktails are refined and delicious. The bar staff is always happy to have a conversation and they really are just the friendliest! Every bartender has a different night so it always feels different. Love LOVE the fun decor! Makes it feel like youre in your rich uncle's home and get to look at all the cool items he's brought back from his travels. Its such a great place to be!“
