50 Best Bar & Grill near College Point

“I can't base the full review, since our group didn't eat at the restaurant. We came to this establishment to have some drinks and then realized they also had hookah. This is a great little spot to go to for celebrations (the 8 of us came on Cinco De Mayo). The service was spot on, as we were attended to with any questions or concerns. If you are in the mood for hookah, this is one of the best spots in Queens to go to.“

“I’ve been coming to Rolo’s since they first opened and they really never disappoint. The food just gets better and better. Everything is amazing but my hands down favorite is the shrimp. I’d say it’s easily some of if not the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. The whole menu just compliments itself from the Calabrian chili butter to the wagyu steak. Also, Sitting in the back of the restaurant is such a cool experience because you get to watch the chefs work their magic on that wood fire grill. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC and in my top 5.“

“This restaurant is beautiful! The vibes, the food, and the staff are literally amazing!! Our waiters Elani and Dioni were super attentive, they came over to our table many times to ensure that we were okay. They even sang happy birthday to my baby girl when I told them her birthday is in a couple of days, it was too cute!! I loved every minute here! I’d come back time and time again.“

“I came here for the 1st time during restaurant week & I cannot wait to return back to try the rest of the menu.The staff & atmosphere was friendly & welcoming, you could tell locals come all the time. Everything I ordered was tasty, but the star of the show was my main entree, Moqueca (Brazilian fish stew with tomatoes, pepper, onions & coconut milk) - It was both comforting and flavorful.The fish was cooked to perfection (soft, tender & flaked easily with my fork), the coconuts milk stew was rich & robust in flavor, with a smooth enough consistency to coat your spoon. In summary, it was chefs kiss! ?“

“The only good bar in the entire neighborhood, and great overall. It's the oldest bar in NYC (aside from one in Wall St.) - You might recognize it from GoodFellas.Worth going out of your way for the history, and worth coming to just because. They play the sports games with the volume on. Have to love it.“

“Early March my and wife and I held a baby shower there. They were extremely accommodating with us and our guest. They also were very friendly and it worked out very well. We had families and most of the ladies at the tables and we had filled the bar with our drinkers and younger crowd.Music was good/ food was good / service was great! Anne was such a great manager worked hand in hand with our coordinator to make that day such a great experience.Overall 10/10 would highly recommend your next event there.“

“CASH ONLY SPOT! A good summer/spring spot to hang out outdoors to have a nice beer with a nice view. Its self service, so you order your own drinks at the bar. Not a lot of seatings so I suggest getting here early if you want to secure a seat.“

“My family and I stopped here for a quick dinner late Thursday. The ambiance was fun, with a wide variety of music and happy patrons laughing throughout the restaurant. Although the music was a tad loud for regular volume conversations, we enjoyed it overall. The food was enjoyable and the service was amazing! We had a very attentive server and the manager was kind enough to check on us during our meal.Thank you“

“I'm giving Malone's five stars. I absolutely loved it. First of all, the service was fantastic! I mean our server was professional, friendly, and just lovely. I came here for the weekend brunch, and I like that they also offered non-brunch items. I have never like eating waffles or eggs in the afternoon. I ended up getting Buffalo chicken wings. I love wings and I can say these were amongst the best wings I have had. They were just crispy and delicious. And the fries were yummy too.“

“This is hands down the best sports bar you’re going to find. A total blast. Really well done space with great service. It’s the perfect place to watch any game or just hang out with friends.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love the activities there. Mine does!“

“Unexpected stop at Abe's for a quick drink before Brooklan. Very cool laid back vibe. So when you sit in a seat like the one I took a picture of below no one comes up to you. That's the only downside to service. You'd have to go up to the bar and order. Drinks were pretty good for happy hour. The food was even better! Buffalo wings were sooo tasty and HUGE, which is so worth it. The chicken sandwich was also very good. I will say that salad blows all of it out the water! Not only was it all so fresh, it was huge! I just never expected Sugar Snap Pea, Edamame, Red Watercress, Pea Tendrils, Horseradish, Black Sesame, & Yuzu Kosho Ranch to be such a mind blowing combo! 10/10 recommend!“

“I tried the place for the 1st time around 1 week ago. I've been back again I really enjoyed the chicken wings and my smashed bacon cheeseburger I tried a beer called a Cloud in the Sky it was awesome I will definitely be eating there again“

“Due to circumstances, I can't go and eat there, so I've had Uber delivery for 3 days in a row now (trying various things). The quality of the food is incomparable to other restaurants. It's on a different level. Each and every sauce is made with care. They package it well. I had a question about the menu, so I called. When I did that, the female waiter (not Korean) was really kind! She explained it to me while shouting a little and said that she was sorry for yelling at the end because the store was too noisy. Even though she was busy, the waiter explained things so well! The food was great too!! I want to go and eat it warmly. I think it will taste better.“

“Super adresse pour manger autour de the ROCK et de la Catherine St Patrick. Très bon déjeuner pour nous 6, grands parents, adultes, ado et et enfant. Les portions sont généreuses pour le Fish & Chips, Bbq Burger ou Cheeseburger du menu enfant. Les bières irlandaises top. Perso, je me suis régalée. L'ambiance très sympa. Je recommande“

“This is a super spacious restaurant with two bar areas. Came here with friends post-dinner and was seated at the back bar and the waitresses were super friendly. I like the decor, too. Good vibes overall. I did not drink alcohol but there was plenty of non--alcoholic beverages on the menu that were easy to navigate to. Next time I'd want to try the food options!“

“Delicious food once again. Chicken wrap was lightly toasted and stuffed. Took home half. Others in our party had Caesar salad w/grilled chicken. Very generous portion. And, turkey burger so thick and juicy it required both hands to manage. Recommend Doc Watson’s for food and service.“

“We had our annual school fundraiser at the Rail House and the food was great and service was impeccable. Amar ( manager) was checking in throughout the night to see if we needed anything. I would highly recommend this venue for your next party or just for dinner in their upbeat dining room. Everyone should really check out the Rail House.“

“I am mad at myself for not coming here sooner. The food, drinks, service, ambiance - 10/10. They really did a wonderful job with this place. I haven't been this impressed with a place in a long time! Everything on the menu is delicious and on top of that, the cocktails are very reasonably priced. Cash only - ATM onsite if you forget. We are so happy to find a new place that we love!“

“I love stopping by while I'm in Queens. Now that I have discovered they have an Elf mural and a resident (of sorts) French bulldog with his own barstool, this is a must stop while visiting this neighborhood. Super laidback and the drinks are cold and flowing. The staff wants to ensure a good experience! Live music when I was there on a Friday early evening. Cheers!“

“Not your run of the mill City Island restaurant, I hope Archies can survive through all these pandemic shut downs. The food was really quality, creative and curated compared to anything on city Island. They definitely would not sell tilapia Frankenfish here. I remember visiting one of the more stylish restaurant on City Island, I was so disappointed to see tilapia on the menu and I could not finish my food. I would recommend they do something to make make themselves stand out more. When I mention Archies, many Yacht club members that of been going to city Island forever say Arties?“

“Marko is such an amazing manager. Very efficient and accommodating! The Burrata on special was out of this world. The avocado adding the most perfect touch to the specialty appetizer. Julia is such an amazing bartender , in which she made me a mezcal favorite with vanilla additives. 10/10 recommend this place ?“

“Your own little slice of Commodore in Greenpoint! Food is just as good and drinks are also. Cozy little bar with a ski lodge theme and a huge lit up screen of Glacier National Park behind the bar giving off those The Shining Vibes. Backyard and side walk seating as well. The Cadillac Nachos and Queso are classics, the Spinach and Mushroom Quesadilla is a newer addition but one of my favs. The Commodore is the classic Pina Colada. You can do a shot and beer combo with just about anything. Prices can't be beat.“

“My favorite bar in the Upper East Side!The female and male servers are the best! The food, especially the chicken and tots, tastes so good! It's never too busy, and they always play great music! I always come here with my coworkers. Love this place!“

“I used to make fun of Tip Top when I'd walk by. Unassuming is an understatement. One night when we were already a bit buzzed we went here as a joke. I can't explain it, but... this bar is kind of magical? Incredible patio. Immaculate vibes. Now it's one of our favorite spots.“

“Overall good experience. We would eat here again. Granular experience: Irish full breakfast was excellent. Challah French toast was inconsistent with some pieces dry and others more custardy. Flavor was good. Disappointed that we were not offered more coffee after initial cup.“

“It was the first of a few nice spring day pump-fakes before another month or 2 of winter weather, so I dusted off my linen button down after a lengthy winter hibernation.Bobby's is right across the street from my apartment, so I poked my head out of our window to see the Bobby's big glass paned windows wide open to the street, sun shining directly on the patio. If you live in New York, you know when bar windows are open to the street after a long winter, the collective energy of the city is about to be ELECTRIC. The city comes alive.I texted my big bro and he came to meet me here. We were sipping on Spritz's while watching March Madness games on the projector screens that they have as Bobby's is tailor made to watch a game, and it rarely gets overrun with people.To order, you scan a QR code and they bring your drinks right to your table, which is a nice touch. You don't have to be that guy and make everybody move to go get a drink. You can just move in silence like the g in lasagna.I was nervous what big bro would think of this place, because he is hella picky with his sports bars. When we sat there getting ready to leave, he said "Aye. Good pick lil cuzzo this place is smooth..." But what I heard was "I'm proud of you..."A big bro compliment like that, my dear reader, is something you simply can't put a price on. THANK YOU BOBBY’S!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov_reviews“

“While visiting NYC to meet some family members, I wanted a casual restaurant that had a neighborhood vibe, delicious eclectic food, and was relatively close to the hotel where we were staying. Hi-Life met all of these requirements. With such a diverse menu, each of us could order exactly what we were in the mood for, sip some generous cocktails and enjoy our friendly and competent servers!“

“Great place great people. I attended a function for Disabled Veterans it was Great ! We had raffles,great food. And the Volunteers were the best they had speakers that spoke to us not at us. Usually people donate space for us to have things but ! You don't meet the owners not these guys they talked & had fun wit us like we were friends and notLike we were Disabled Veterans it was Great ! Not one question about why my leg had Scars on it from surgeries they didn't even see my legs and I had onShorts . WOW great people. Oh boyThey had a kid there serving by the nameOf Conner this young man handled a room wit 30 grumpy, battle tested Marines,Army artillery,and special forcesWit ease He didn't break a sweatAnd knew the menu in his head and keptThe orders straight ??‍♂️could be my RTOMan any day. Thanks 4 the experience“

“when we got to the front door of this place, the bartender came out and opened the door to welcome us. We were just going to stay for one drink, but we stayed much longer. Everybody was so friendly, and the drinks are really really generous. what a great dive bar!“

“10 stars if I could. Had to leave my home town of asbury park NJ and head into Brooklyn to deliver my daughter to a show at the Brooklyn monarch. Had a few hours to kill and did my research ahead of time to see where we might hang out while we waited. Northern Belle seemed like the spot so after braving downpour rain, crazy winds and the worst drivers in America, we made it to the bar. From the outside it looked dark and we drove past it and had to turn around to find the place. Wow, you walk in the door and the place is buzzing with Brooklyn locals. We got lucky and got the last 2 seats at the bar. The bartender was so friendly and made great drinks. He was cranking out the drinks and still kept checking on us, not sure how he handles it but he is awesome . We ordered a ton of food for the 2 of us and this place makes really good bar food. Really good. We did the deep fried deviled egg plate, really good. Shrimp and brisket tacos were great. Fried hicken sandwich came with a ton of hand cut fries. Perfect! Oh and we got an order of smoked wings and they are really good!“

“Truly a gem in Harlem. Great lunch for a ridiculously low price. A cocktail was even included in the price of a burger! The live jazz music made this a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Harlem!Vegetarian options: I had a black bean vegetarian burger and it was amazingly tasty“

“Love coming on here with friends, love the music, food and drinks. Great atmosphere hangout.When it comes to enjoying a great atmosphere and having a wonderful time, few things can compare to the combination of good music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. The combination of great music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks creates a fantastic atmosphere for hanging out and having a good time at Tipsy.“

“So this place is a neighborhood pub with surprisingly good food, well poured drinks, and a nice draft beer selection. The crowd is a mixed bunch of folks from all walks of life and friendly. It has been here a long time and is a popular hangout for good reason.“

“This place is good time to hang out with your friends and catch up! The ambiance is nice and dark, kind of like a darker lounge but also a very casual place. It is self seat so just find any seats open and sit down! My other two friends and I came on a Sunday night and there weren't as many workers so service was a bit slow/not super friendly and welcoming. We each ordered the Seneca single patty ($11 each) which is similar to a smashburger, ordered a tray of fries ($9), sesame salad ($13?). My friend also ordered a beer - total came out to be $78 with tip. My favorite was the salad which complimented the burger really well because there were no veggies in the burger except for one pickle. The fries were shoe string fries but my personal preference is the thicker type. I would probably come back here again fro the salad and maybe grab a beer next time as well! FYI, there are pool night tournaments that start at 8pm with a cash prize of $50 (I believe that is what I read). They also have board games so it's fun to just hang out there.“

“This place was such a treasure to find! Solid drink selection. The real gem though is that they have a good news bell for people celebrating! The bartender asked what brought us in and it was a friend’s birthday, but my partner and I are also engaged and getting married in April, as was another couple there with us that night. We all got a shout out, had celebratory shots, and it was so much fun! I absolutely love the good news bell.It’s also fun even if you yourself aren’t celebrating something to have those pleasant reminders of good things happening in others’ lives. I know it might sound cheesy when I say it like that, but it was really nice!They also have a nice patio in the back and shuffleboard in the main bar area. Highly recommend, will be back!“

“My favorite bar in Queens! Great food, great drinks and always a good time. Juan (the owner) is always good to us and makes sure we are taken care of during crazy hours. If I had to choose 1 bar to spend my time at in NYC, Id pick sunswick everyday of the week.“

“I just wanna say if you don’t have SANDY as your waiter you are missing in out! Her energy is so good she is so nice she is one of the best waiters I have ever had all the food was delicious Sandy I wish you the best your amazing love to eat here burgers and onion rings are “

“Legendary is an awesome spot. Came here with my gf and her friend and we love it so much that I’m leaving this review while I’m still here!Beers cold and foods hot!Frank the owner is super friendly and welcoming. First time going here and all the other people at the bar said they’ve loved this spot since it opened 13 years ago. Food came out quick and was tasty and also not expensive. Definitely coming back“

“We came here a few times as they have great beers and the atmosphere and service are nice. It's a relaxed pub so if you're looking for a posh place this is not it. If you're looking for tasty pub food, big portions for a great price, this is definitely the one. Because of all of these, this has now become our go-to place for a chill evening.“

“Very exciting find. Searched for restaurants near my hotel that served wings three different times and did not see this as a suggestion. While walking saw the sign and decided to investigate. Will definitely be back on future visits to new York. Next time I will try an entree... maybe. The appetizers were delicious and the make it yourself tray was great. I do not drink, but the drink specials were varied. Went during happy hour, so it was pretty packed but still comfortable. Wait staff friendly and attentive.“

“Our family of four went here after Christmas and really enjoyed a fun and festive 90 minutes with our own curling lane and heated dome. We were placed on the lane next to 42nd street, which had several people rooting us on and asking questions on the game as they waited for the bus. It was so much fun! The skyline view was beautiful, especially as it got dark. The food was good, the staff were attentive and respectful. They don't have bathrooms on-site, but they do provide a bathroom pass to use at the ice skating rink so you can enter through the exit.Plan ahead since it gets crowded at Bryant Park and may take a few minutes to walk there. There is a public bathroom nearby but the line is usually really long. Fantastic experience!! I highly recommend!! Thank you for creating such great memories for us!“

“I go to a lot of places and love to drink Sangria. Sapoara is the only place where I know you cannot go wrong with Either Red or White Sangria. It is always made to perfection. Love this place. Fave food: all of the Steaks and Lamb chops on the menu.“

“Highly recommend their burgers. I got the Smoking Musket this time. The patty was very juicy. It goes very well with the texture of thick bacon. Love it! The pizza Margherita was also pretty good. I love the thin crust and the slightly sour tomato sauce.“

“Great ambience and atmosphere. Very nice decor inside. Good hookah spot! Great staff that were courteous and attentive. Great music playing in the background. Food was great too!Overall Highly recommend for a great time to lounge with food, drinks & hookah.“

“We met for a birthday bite at West Bar and Lounge. Don't let the location fool you. It may not be as lucrative as dining in Soho, but it's still a great neighborhood, and it's quite easy to get there.When you first walk in, it's dimly lit, so don't complain. Your eyes will adjust. We went in a few minutes after it opened, so you'll catch the staff still prepping for the day.We were greeted by a waitress and seated. We ordered our drinks (they were great! I recommend the hurricane) while we viewed the menu. We decided on the crab dip with chips and crab legs for appetizers. For the main course, we ordered ribeye steak with smashed? (mashed) potatoes and broccoli and lamb chops with wild rice and asparagus, and a side of Mac cheese. Believe me when I tell you, the food was absolutely delicious ?. Every morsel was a delightful bite.Thank you to our waitress for great service. The bartender for outstanding drinks and the chef for the amazing food.“

“Made a reservation, and first impressions were good. the first seating they placed us had a broken table so they moved us which was nice they let us pick any spot. the place had Good ambiance with good music that set a good vibe and plenty of tvs to watch sports game. The service was good too our waiter always stopped by to check on us if we need anything. they also gave good recommendations on the menu. the beverages like the mule were good and the food was okay, albeit a bit overpriced for the area. we got quesadillas, wings, sliders, and 2 basket of fries with plenty of drinks. they also tacked on a mandatory 20% gratuity for a party of 3. the beverages were pretty good i enjoyed it. i'll definitely come back !“

“It was my first time eating (and not just drinking) here & it was so good. The bartender was attentive like he always is, I don't remember his name but he's the only one behind the on weekdays usually. It was lively & he told me about karaoke coming up. I think it's on Thursdays? Anyway super good food & sangrias were great!“

“Only been here once & I will be back for Brunch if I'm in the neighborhood again. Sat at bar. There is a timed unlimited champagne or alcoholic beverage upgrade. Service was very attentive (we were the only ones there}. Several TVs playing sports but muted one did not closed captions on. Everyone enjoyed their food. Staff was great. No complaints.“

“A nice local pub. The food I had before they replaced the kitchen was always on point but haven't had anything since then. The staff has always been welcoming and friendly. Drink prices and in line with the area. A good hangout spot to catch up with friends.“

“This is only on the in- restaurant menu. It was so good! It's tater tot's with eggs, sausage, hollandaise sauce. Might be bacon inside.. can't tell since it's not listed here. The steak sandwich was tender and delicious.“
