“A Beautiful Place I had a blast. I fall in love with the Rooftop and View. I didn't want to leave. Cant wait to attend another engagement here.“

“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.“

“This is the last Bar on College Point Boulevard & you know what? they're doing a heck of a job to stay around!!! Good laughs, drinks, Food, friendly Jukebox, Pool Table, Bar scenery & neighborhood. i give much props to all the bartenders, Debbie, Claudia, Beckzz & Jimmy.“

“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!“

“Great presentation. Great drinks. Great service. Overall great experience 😎“

“We decided to drop in for a nightcap before returning to the city, eager to sample the highly praised cocktails. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a bit of tardiness, I highly recommend the "Scent of a Woman" cocktail. Although my partner found "Josephine Noir" a bit too sweet.

We also got the tuna tartare to share - the portion was small and it lacked flavors. The item was unexpectedly expensive at $23. We were a bit taken aback by the prices, as they seemed to be comparable to those in Manhattan.“

“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“a speakeasy-kinda spot hidden inside a Taiwanese restaurant! i've bookmarked this place for awhile and finally got to try it recently.

the place had great ambience and they played a lot of Jolin Tsai and Jay Chou while i was there. the menu is fun in that the drinks are named after classic CPop songs. i got the "most familiar stranger" (because, shoutouts to Elva Hsiao!!!) and my companion tried "a smoking poet". my drink was complex and well balanced, the soy milk + soy sauce maple foam was DELICIOUS. it reminded me of the cream foam top in bobas. we also tried the sweet potato fries and plum powder and that was good too.

overall, it was a well-executed concept and i had a great time. i'd love to come back!“

“Great place to watch the sunset over NYC! Great drinks and good food! Excellent service.“

“Ooh my goodness, I enjoyed. It was pricey but worth it. One of the best burgers I’ve had since I’m a picky eater the waiter was very happy to accommodate me the drinks were delicious as well.i will surely recommend the place. I will continue to eat there. The pl was very nice and clean ?“

“Excellent! Great services!“

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

“We scored a table late on a Thursday night. The bar is swanky and cute, with great interior design and personal touches like the illustrations on their dishes. We arrived to low-lit restaurant/bar with vibey music and a fresh new menu.

The cocktails were great. The Apollonian was citrusy Smokey punch and the Limoncello Milk Punch felt so special.

The Stracciatella was a delightful surprise, while the Calabrese was a spicy hot wing that made me wanting more. For mains I had the Smashed Meatball Parm which DID NOT disappoint. The fries had great texture and the sandwich was so flavorful it left me wanting more. We topped it off with the delightful Cannolis that was crunched and sweet.“

“Best Gin & Tonics in the city!!!“

“Booked it for a private special event. Kira the event manager did a fantastic job organizing everything. She recommended a photographer and Yut the violin player so the event was magic. Thank you❤️“

“I love Le Crocodile for breakfast. Juan was super kind helping me with my tea and coffee order. For me, I love how calming and beautiful the environment is. Most of the all the staff ( Tak included!). I go regularly and enjoy it every time.“

“Drinks and apps were wonderful before the show at beacon. We felt like we were in Europe. Fantastic! We will be back!“

“Sama Street made me and my tummy happy from start to end. I'm not sure how it's such a hidden gem given the quality and creativity of the food and drinks and all around great vibe.

I showed up shortly after open to a completely empty restaurant, so the bartender, Jamie, suggested some delicious drinks (not that you can go wrong with any of them). Of the few drinks I had, my least favorite (but still solid) was the Jacket Required, which is really just a slightly modified old fashioned. Everything else was incredible - some ingredients seem out there and might might throw you off, but every drink I had was really more than just the sum of its parts.

Food was also great, especially if you're into family style meals. Skewers were cooked to perfection, bok choy wasn't just tossed in some soy sauce, flat noodles were great. The sundae dessert included some of the tastiest and unique ice cream flavors I'd ever had, made in house.

Overall will definitely be back.“

“Stay Away!!! Just kidding, this spot is popular and rightfully so for all the right reasons. The atmosphere is bot chill and warm for lounge lizards wanting a great watering hole. The drinks are fantastic, The Monk Fashioned being my favorite, reminds me of a magical Sazerac. The food here is delicious too, been a couple times and look forward to returning again soon. Love the Sweet And Salty Grilly with Gruyère, Prosciutto, Fig Spread, Arugula on Sour Dough. The Fonduey Mac & Cheese is also a cooze fest of cheesy goodness, also the Whipped Feta with the Everything Bagel Pretzel. Always love to get the Crab Cakes. Though I’m eyeing the Skewered Thighs for next time they look like a divine dine. Fortunately we’ve gotten in without a reservation, though I’m sure it’s good to have one.“

“Cocktail Magique show was a magnificent experience. Very positive, jaw dropping, interactive show that keeps you engaged throughout the 2 hour memorable performance.“

“I enjoyed dining here. The service was good. Food was good. Blurriness mimosas and aperol spritz.“

“I made a reservation for a group of eight at 4:30 pm, and luckily, the only available seating for larger parties was the bench near the big window—precisely where I hoped to sit. The rest of the restaurant features intimate tables for two. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right amount of elegance.

We loved their cocktails, and every dish we sampled was outstanding. The service stood out as exceptional; our server was both attentive and charming. They were also very accommodating to one of my vegan friends, taking the extra step to ensure certain dishes met her dietary needs.

I highly recommend this spot if you're in search of a relaxed place to catch up with friends over delicious food and drinks.

Dietary restrictions: Plant-based options are offered.“

“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.“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“Grateful for a decent Chinese restaurant that is clean and elegantly decorated. Tofu and chicken dish were very good. The beef stew was more of a beef soup and on the oilier side so wasn’t our favourite. Dumplings were pretty good. Would definitely return and recommend.“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Super fun cocktail bar/speakeasy. The drinks were creative and our server was knowledgeable and knew what to recommend based on people's preferences. I recommend making a reservation if going on the weekend. The interior is super girly, lots of pink. Perfect for grabbing a drink with your friends. My only complaint is once our drinks were served, it was very hard to get our server to come back to the table to refill water and get the bill.“

“We came here for a group party of about 20 people. It was easy to reserve, and the staff, food and drinks were all so, so great! Huge shout out to Brenton, the manager, for making everything so easy. The interior was also gorgeous, and it was located on a really cute street. I would absolutely come back, and highly recommend for your next party!“

“I’m a local Astorian , came upon this place one night with a friend , definitely a chill place and nice atmosphere, staff is friendly ! The owner George is a stand up guy . Also a fellow Astorian . I recommend this place if you wanna a nice relaxed vibe. With good music ! Check it out“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“Went tonight for the secret magic show (with Mark Clearview). Not only was the show SUPERB but so were the cocktails. HIGHLY recommended- especially if you can get tickets to the magic show!“

“Perfectly place with good selection and knowledgeable staff. The wine bar is nicely designed just for a few drinks and private parties. There is also equipped with karaoke and good sound system for singing.“

“Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Great ambiance and GREAT OWNERS!!!

The cocktails are only $13. They offer a premium selection of cocktails for only $13. Happy hour is everyday from 5pm - 8pm . The margaritas and old fashions are $6 til 8pm daily. Local owned business and they really care about supporting the community. They have different events depending on the day of the week. Their NA selection also blew us away. They aren’t overcharging anyone . Only $5 for NA mocktails . Beer + Shot Combos are $6 ALL DAY. Beer + Shot for HAPPY HOUR IS ONLY $4 !! They’re using the fresh ingredients and welcome you to bring outside food.

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Ps. That Glinda is 🔥🔥🔥“

“Came here on a Friday night recently with 20 of my friends to celebrate my 40th birthday. I got in touch with the bar's event coordinator in advance to make sure we had a space for all of us. We didn't have a minimum to meet, and the coordinator was super responsive to make sure we had everything we wanted. The vibe was incredible. Disco hits all night long and we stayed until nearly closing. Some of our friends ordered food and enjoyed it, though I can't personally speak for anything except the slice of decadent cheesecake they presented to me with a birthday candle. Truly felt like I got stellar class treatment for our group! The bartenders loved us, and we loved them! Def coming back next time we visit NYC. Such a fun place!“

“Excellent!!! Food, service, atmosphere 👍👍“

Our waiter was Maria, she was outstanding , super friendly and accommodating. A must visit for a memorable night out! Ask for Maria if you have a chance!“

“My favorite bar in Brooklyn!
The cocktails are unique and delicious, the vibe is great, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Such a good time hanging out here and the jazz is wonderful and sets up a wonderful atmosphere. Not too loud yet lovely and fun“

“This place is super cute and the drinks are very good!! Went with my sister for a trifecta kinda day and the margs did not disappoint! We didn’t have the food but the people around us ordered some items and it looked and smelled super great!

The place is pretty small as far as like it’s just the front area but they have a bar style table in the middle and tables on both sides. Music was pretty standard we didn’t go on a brunch day so not sure if it’s more turnt but we had a good time! Yes they have Tajin and they can put that on your rim!

We also went back a second time and go to go drinks and they were delicious there’s like over 15 flavors so that makes it super fun!

I didn’t get much videos but I did get a super cool photo! Try it out affordable prices and great drinks!“

“Fantabulous Ambience. Lively and lovely staff. Great food. Loved everything.“

“Well made cocktails. Very smart staff“

“I was visiting family and we came to this restaurant, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The overall atmosphere was comfortable yet classy. Our food was prepared and displayed perfectly and the portion sizes were just right. The owner even came over and talked to us to make sure that we were happy and that we were enjoying ourselves. Definitely would come back, I highly recommend Porta 23.“

“THIS.PLACE.IS.VOIBES.

Let me just start by saying I’m always looking but rarely find for solid neighborhood joints that I can rely on for 1) QUALITY, 2) consistency (a thing that I feel so many places lack), 3) affordability and 4) vibes

This place delivers on all fronts, truly. Been living in the neighborhood for a few years and there’s a bunch of options but not many places that executes on all 4 fronts.

THE PIZZA. The za is literally so effing good. The plain and pep are the literal epitome of a NY slice. The blend of their house made sauce and the way the mozz melts into it is divine. They got all the other options and some house specialities you can’t go wrong with but yea.. give their plain a go and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Price wise… it’s crazy but their slice is actually cheaper than Gino’s across the street. Guys.. it’s CHEAPER no knock on them but yall needa give this place a try.

The bar the bar the BAR in the back yall. This opened up as a speakeasy type concept not too long ago but damn. This part is the VOIBES forreal. Sick ass buildout and the crew is sick. Just go and you’ll figure it out. They also opened up their back patio recently and it’s huge and just everything.

If you’re still with me, thanks. But this place is downright worth a try. You’ll thank yourself.“

“What a nice cozy place. We sat at the bar. It was great. Our bartender was so Attentive, btw. We had the same name. Jane was super friendly. We mostly got appetizers, they got a lot of selection. We got shishito pepper, pumpkin tempura, crispy squid legs, spicy wings, crispy rice spicy tuna and chicken teriyaki. They were so good. We loved everything we got. We will come back for ramen for sure.

Vegetarian options: I saw one Vegetarian ramen. And couple appetizers and Salad“

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

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

“The atmosphere is cozy and quiet, creating a perfect setting for relaxation. While the food menu offers a limited selection, it is more than sufficient for a bar, and every dish is absolutely delicious. The service is excellent, and the drinks are delectable and satisfying.“
