50 Best Bar & Grill near College Point

“A hidden gem on the roof. 240 degrees of gorgeous views of NYC. Food and drinks are very good. Staff are welcoming as well. Highly recommended.“

“I have been here several time and their food is delicious, love the Sangrias and they have good music, really good vibes, planning on having my Birthday dinner here.🥰“

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

“Went there on a Friday night. It took a little while for us to be seated. But once we got seated, our waiter was very attentive and courteous. The food was great and so were the drinks. We had lobster spaghetti and shrimp & crab ravioli. For the drink, i had the gold digger cocktail. It's a lychee martini, ifykyk. The DJ was a vibe. They played afrobeat, R&B/hip-hop, reggae, and Spanish music. It's very loud in there, not a place for convo, but more for turning up. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Amazing food service and staff! Will make this one of my favorite places to frequent!“

“Out of town and looking for a game, this is your place! Especially in this time where safety is important, this outdoor atmosphere is wonderful. Food trucks to take care of you hunger and a bar to quench your thirst. LetsgoBucs!“

“Great food y great drink and great service by Lucy I definitely recommend this place“

“It is a business that cares more than just doing business. Loyd and staff care about helping people in the community. The food is great, the Beer is cold and the staff are friendly. What more can you ask? (Rhetorical question lol)“

“A lovely dinner outing for a casual or special occasion. Went with a group of nine and our server, host and all others were courteous and great guides for our dining experience.

Top recommendations Mac and Cheese. Oysters. Fries were beautifully done. Mains include carbonara, an array of steaks, chicken parm and various sides. A nice espresso martini. Only issue was we overdid it and failed to reserve room for dessert but enjoyed a lovely limencello finish.“

“My family wanted to try a new place for dinner this weekend and Jamesons was it. The atmosphere is warm and inviting so we felt comfortable the moment we walked in. Our waitress Sarah was great...super friendly and made us feel right at home. We ordered the French Onion soup (excellent) and Pretzel Sticks (ok) as appetizers. The French Onion soup ($12) was very delicious but the pretzel sticks ($12) we probably wouldnt order again. There were 2 Pretzels to the order which my wife and I thought was a little pricey for what they were. My 7 year old ordered the chicken fingers and fries which were better than I had expected them to be. My wife ordered the Fish and Chips ($25) - super tasty, very fresh, and cooked to perfection. I ordered the Reuben ($24) super yummy which was a special for the evening. My wife and I both agreed after sharing that both meals were excellent. Key Lime Pie and a cappuccino finshed us off both of which did not disappoint. Overall, food and presentation were top notch and the service was excellent ---Thanks again Sarah! My wife and I both felt it was a little pricey but we would definitely go back.“

“This is a slightly elevated Irish Bar. We had Burgers, Fish n Chips and Shepherd's pie which were all very good.

The bar was at the front and booths were at the back, which was what we needed because we were exhausted. This was also marathon day.

The service was very good and the wine list was surprisingly delicious ?

We will go back when in NYC“

“Delicious food and drinks 😎“

“Great location; close to Metro North. Quality Food, Service and Friendly Staff😀“

“Great food, friendly staff and efficient service, highly recommended“

“A place with a wonderful atmosphere. The view is beautiful. You can admire the sunset and then beautifully illuminated Manhattan. I would definitely come back for this atmosphere. A very large selection of beers, all the ones I tried were good. As for the food, it was ok. It wasn't anything outstanding but it was tasty. The meat was well cooked and had a nice grilled flavor. The whole dish would need some original sauces that would make everything less dry.“

“Staff were friendly and the vibe is so COOL. Love this place“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“Excellent food and service. Wednesday night trivia is awesome. Great place.“

“very nice time good food 1“

“Frozen Coquito And nachos“

“This is a great place. It is nestled in the Throggs Neck Section of the Bronx and it has a some of the best wings and tacos. Highly recommended.“

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

“Awesome Instagram place in Pelham with great food which I’ve found by searching for polenta online. Great osobuco and supertoscan for great price, really great. Our waitress Kassandra was very pleaseant, professional and on point. Good and chill, lounge for younger and modern people, and those who appreciate gourmet food. Thanks a lot!, We’ll be back.“

“Amazing experience here, server Megan was fantastic and very friendly, good and drinks 10/10! Thank you ☺️“

“Nice place good place for a cold one“

“Came on a Friday evening. The food and service were good. The DJ was spinning good R&B. The restaurant is small and a little unorganized when it comes to waiting for a table. I get that it's a neighborhood spot, and everyone knows each other, but if it's a restaurant, treat it like one. If it's a lounge, change it to a lounge and not a restaurant.“

“Can't beat these prices for a night out and Branded is so much fun. Went to a survivor watch party and had such a blast. They host the coolest events like this one and I will def be back for more!
The drink menu is great! Their tea drink is super delicious and perfect for a cold day.

Highly recommend branded for a really fun night out“

“a beautiful aroma greets you upon entering, then, a welcoming, professional and kind staff awaits. the food and drinks are delicious. the manager Amer is bar none the best!“

“My bartender Amanda made my experience as great as it could’ve possibly been. She gave great NY beer recommendations (I’m not from the area) and charged my phone for me when it was about to die. Great service, great drinks, great atmosphere, will be back!!“

“Overall a good experience. Burger and quesadillas were both tasty. $18 for the burger was a little high but $16 for the quesadilla was reasonable. Really appreciate the reference to It’s a Wonderful Life if that’s what the owners were going for with the name.“

“A quaint cozy place. Good food and drinks and great service. My friend has been there before and recommended it. I’ll definitely recommend it myself and return.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and drinks!“

“First of all, I will start by providing some background information on this establishment. This location has been in operation for several years and underwent a rebranding approximately 4 or 5 years ago. It is known for being a family and pet-friendly environment, as it is named after the owners' dogs. Everyone is welcome at this establishment.

It is important to address that the events that occurred during the Puerto Rican festival did not take place at our location. While our establishment is typically a safe and welcoming place, unfortunately, there are instances where individuals do not behave appropriately. It is disturbing to learn that a grown man behaved inappropriately towards a child, as we do not tolerate any form of sexual assault.

It is worth noting that we have not had any incidents of sexual assault against women at our establishment. Such behavior is strictly prohibited. The incident involving an individual who fled from the location serves as a reminder of the importance of communities uniting against predators.

Those familiar with the television show "Cheers" may find similarities in our establishment, as it is a place where regular patrons are known by name. Newcomers often have a positive experience and frequently return. If you find yourself in East Harlem, we invite you to visit Teddy's F&B, affectionately known as the "hood cheers." Thank you for considering us as a potential destination. FYI there is open mic on Tuesdays and Karaoke on Wednesdays. Come drink, eat, dance, play games or just vibe with us.

Kid-friendliness: Children of all ages are welcomed.

Wheelchair accessibility: A ramp is available if requested.“

“A great Korean fusion bar in the neighborhood that's passionate about good food!
I had a buddy over from Michigan who did not mind the snow, so with wife, we went to eat through snow BLIZZARD to JJ Dak Sunday evening as they were open. Inside was chic and cozy as I expected, and we were led to a rather smallish dining room on the side of first floor. Center area was for the bar. I've wanted to try JJ Dak for a while now, so we ordered up w/ pleasant server who explained the menu for us.
I. ATMOSPHERE (4/5) - Great vibe! Dimly lit with thoughtful biergarten style decorations galore, it felt warm, cozy yet stylish. Good for dates & drinks with buddies.
II. FOOD (4/5)
Squid Fries ($14, APP, 5/5) - Hands down the best food of the visit. Fresh squid w/ full flavor in light seasoned batter with mouthwatering ponzu mayo dip. Say whaaat? Wonderful with beer. We wanted to order one more if not for entree coming!
Fried Oysters ($??, APP, 3/5) - It was a special item, but unfortunately this was nothing special. Shouldn't have ordered, as it was prob to get rid of fresh oysters getting old (not on the menu). It wasn't like not fresh or anything but taste was just okay.
Nuroongji Dak ($45, ENTREE, 4/5) - This famous dish didn't disappoint! They lit it on fire for a show & added flame taste, and the dish was sizzling hot. Flavor was pretty good, though some parts of chicken wasn't seasoned through. But they give you 3 dipping sauces (honey mustard was my favorite!) for that so that's OK. This dish really felt like a treasure hunt for the 3 of us as we kept poking around and finding different ingredients. I wished that there was still a unifying sauce of some kind as meat felt a bit dry at times and variety of ingredients kinda floating on their own a bit. Maybe a splash of soya-butter? Nonetheless, this was really enjoyable to eat - we loved the cauliflower and the burnt rice (which we diligently scraped off the pan) on the bottom.
III. SERVICE (5/5) - Very attentive, on a Sunday evening blizzard night! Later they did get busy (it's like we brought the town here cuz adventurous and half-crazy people kept showing up in pairs through the blizzard to eat in. Was a bit funny)

I'm a fan of this place - especially for a drink w/ buddies I can't think of a more deserving place to go to in town atm than JJ Dak! I'll be back to try many other interesting menu items in the near future!

Parking: Free lot is tiny. Street parking galore but paid. Nearby mall parking (of other businesses) but they may ticket you during busy hours.“

“Bombastic place with an electric atmosphere. We were seated at the best table in the middle of the rush hour, and the staff was very friendly and clarified that it was cash only, with an ATM across the street at Wells Fargo. Our food arrived quickly.

If you're craving a classic bar burger, this is the spot! My partner and I both enjoyed greatly. Completely blew our socks off as many locals warned, it’s definitely the best bar food ever“

“Food is delicious, staff are friendly and courteous and the view is so relaxing“

“I love a good wine with my meal. That being said outside of a high end restraunt I have been no place in the area where the house sommelier picks the selection of wine like Saints and Scholars. You would have to buy a bottle if even then to get the quality of their house serve alone. I could write a book on the menu, not a bad choice to be found, but I will stop here. If you adore a good glass with a beautiful dinner/ brunch with exceptional service. Look no further.“

“I bring my team here for post fight celebrations since it is located right around the corner from Melrose Ballroom. They can accommodate our group size, have great bar food, there’s Guinness on tap, pickles backs and friendly bartenders. What more can you ask for?!“

“It has always been a pleasure stopping by a great after work place to have a drink or two.☝“

“My new neighborhood bar! Great staff. Reasonable drink priced. Great music!“

“My favourite bar in Brooklyn. Celene is a warm and gracious host who makes everyone feel welcome. It’s clear that this bar is a pillar of the neighborhood, as I had many great interactions with locals and regulars who keep returning for the incredible cocktails, delicious food and almost nightly special events. There is a real sense of community and I know if I lived anywhere nearby this would be my local spot after work. Highly recommend attending one of the live music events or Karaoke!“

“Good food and cocktails, friendly service, festive environment.“

“Great lamb burger and codfish po boy! Delicious pumpkin ale. Nice server. Highly recommend.“

“My wife and I came back to Manhattan for four nights. As is customary for us, we made it to Wollensky's each day of the trip. We went Thursday and Saturday for lunch, Friday for drinks before an event, and Sunday night for dinner (we always have dinner at Wollensky's the last night). As usual, we had a fantastic time each and every time. We love the energy and atmosphere. It was a great place to watch The Masters. The entire staff is so professional and so friendly. From Roger (the GM), to Ryan (a manager), to Shamus (the best bartender on the planet), to the server staff including Amador, Gabriel, Francesca, and Rachel, we love them all. And the food is amazing. The wedge salad is the best salad anywhere. The cocktail shrimp are huge: The prime rib was fantastic. And, the coconut cake is as good as advertised. It is always a pleasure to dine at our favorite restaurant. We can't wait for our next trip!“

“LOVE this place. I don't come often, but every time I have, I've had a great experience. Chicken fingers are pretty great ?, and bartender Sean (not Shaun or God forbid Shawn ?) is super friendly and makes awesome drinks! I've sat outside, and the service out there is awesome, too! Great vibe, all around. Oh, and the 70's music is outstanding! An extra bonus ? ?“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“The Pina cola special drink was delicious! it tasted like coquito too. The loaded nachos did not disappoint!“
