Lounges near East Elmhurst, NY

“Ashley our host tonight was the key. She kept the lines moving, greeted everyone with a smile. She overheard my fiancé mention the buffet was out of rice pudding, and then when it was restocked, she personally delivered 2 bowls to our table! We were so impressed, and felt so cared for on an otherwise tough travel day. The level of hospitality in this lounge is amazing.“

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

“Everything about Gabriel Kreuther restaurant was incredible!“

“Great beer selection. Great staff. Good vibe. Good people. I am a native New Yorker and very picky about my bars and defensive of my neighborhood. This is the best bar I’ve been to in years. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner.“

“great place located in Brooklyn. come out and support!“

“Checked out Drips on a Wednesday evening for happy hour which lasts all day. I loved the space. It’s small inside, but gives upscale vibes. They have a mix of high chair and regular seating. They were playing RnB hits all night which was great when the drinks kicked in. Everything for happy hour is approximately $6-$8 so I tried the Sweet Chili wings and passionfruit lemon drop. The wings were crispy and fresh! This was my first time having a lemon drop and the flavor was delicious. I also tried the Mango Lemon drop too. I would recommend either! Service isn’t speedy, but it is not terrible. You have good music, great ambiance and drinks.“

“Delicious food and specialty drinks. I love when DJ Cindy Kim plays. Great music to go with the beautiful atmosphere.“

“Incredible atmosphere. Definitely one of NYC’s hidden gems. Great for date nite. I put on my Sunday’s best to attend.“

“Had a wonderful evening at this rooftop restaurant! Food & drinks were on point ! The views alone are worth the visit, especially as the sun sets and the city lights come alive.

very professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. His service really elevated the experience and made it memorable. I would highly recommend both the rooftop and Pier’s outstanding hospitality!“

“I recently hosted a holiday party at 690, and everything exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant, the space was perfect, and the bar options were excellent. We rented the entire upstairs private floor with a cash bar, and it worked out beautifully. They catered the event, and the food was absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of menu options to choose from. If you're searching for a venue to host your next event, I highly recommend considering 690—it’s a fantastic choice!“

“One of the best hookah spots outside of Morocco. Came here with a bunch of friends we were accommodated. The seating was comfortable the decor and the lighting was very reminiscent of metal eastern places that I’ve done before. Be sure to enjoy the hookah while you’re there and have a French 75.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“There Lichi Martinis 🍸DELICIOUS 😜“

“Beautiful interior design, great music selection, great drinks, food variety can improve but still very tasty. Unfortunately, this place is never packed. Great if you don’t like crowds but terrible for their business. If you’re a Queens Native, or LIC resident, add this to your third place options! ~NYC Native“

“I come from Dubai and I gotta say that I love it. The service is amazing, and of course, its memorable. This is for the AmEx Centurion members but I believe depending on how many people there are, Platinum members can enter to some areas.

Overall, good service by AmEx to Centurion holders.“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“LeBernardin is the kind of dining experience you'd dress up for, book in advance, and immerse yourself in for hours. If you're looking for a taste of New York City dining elegance or a memorable evening, this is the place to be. While the prices aren't cheap, the sophistication and rhythmic atmosphere here are truly a treasure to be cherished.“

“A friend and I were walking by and decided to stop in for a drink. We loved the vibe, the music they were playing, the colorful street art style painting all over the walls, the sangria was delish and the bartender was friendly. I believe her name was Garon. Whenever I'm in town I'll be stopping in!“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“We stopped by mid afternoon Sunday before a show at Second City (nearby). The servers were quick to set up drinks and snacks. Enjoyed the big open space. Given the name (bees knees), I was surprised to learn they aren’t stocked with Barr Hill Gin from Vermont which is made from honey. Strongly recommend the manager offered Bar Hill Gin! Obvious choice!“

“Lots of fun. Great service.“

“Sandbar Rooftop is a great, low key rooftop in the Fashion District. It is currently still a hidden gem and never crowded, and on the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel. There are a lot of seating options- it's quite a large space, and the decor is very cute and picture worthy. They have a small cocktail selection and I do wish that they had more considering it is a rooftop bar, but I always like what I order. They also have a small food menu, but I have yet to try anything from it. Prices are super reasonable for a rooftop in the area, and I hope it stays that way. Great place for a summer afternoon!“

“Top shelf EVERYTHING!!! This place rules!!! 💖✨🧿“

“The food was really good, the drinks were strong. We went during the happy hour which was nice. It starts at 4:00 p.m. At least at this time when we went. I like how they have the happy hour deal which is whatever they have on the menu and half off on the drinks. Love our time so much, My friends and I are celebrating another birthday there again.“

“Amazing Place!! Crafty Delicious Cocktails, Awesome Service, Tasty Tapas. Beautiful Ambiance & Presentation. I recommend this Place. Everything's Jake!!👍Thank you, Hana“

“Michelle’s Lounge is a warm, lively place where everyone has a smile on their face. The music is diverse just as the people that go there to unwind and enjoy themselves. The vibes are everything! It’s a great place to go with friends, family or your special someone. My husband and I went and had a phenomenal time. My feet hurt from dancing so much! I can’t wait to go again!“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“An unforgettable experience at Rosevale Kitchen + Cocktails!
From the moment my friend and I arrived, we were greeted with a warm smile by the maître d’, setting the tone for a truly special evening. The ambience is vibrant yet calm, with a stylish outdoor patio that adds a refreshing touch of open air and relaxation.
Sofia, our server, was absolutely phenomenal—polite, well-mannered, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful. She helped me choose the perfect drink, even bringing a wine sample that turned out to be a hit. Her descriptions were spot-on and made the decision effortless.
The food was outstanding. My friend’s Pre-Fix dinner was beautifully presented—her shrimp dish looked like a work of art, and the lime pie was perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. Sofia’s explanation of the chicken’s subtle sweetness was accurate and made the dish even more enjoyable.
Now, about the burger—I've had burgers all over, but this one was next-level. Cooked well-done (just how I like it), yet still moist and packed with flavor. The layers of pickled onions, Gruyère cheese, and sauce were absolute perfection.
Sofia’s attentiveness and charisma added a magical touch to our evening before heading to a Broadway show. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made our experience truly memorable. I can't wait to return with friends and family—and I hope Sofia is there to share her incredible hospitality with them too!“

“I came here last night with my friends after a comedy show to have a drink & celebrate my birthday... the DJ SET ME UP I danced until I was the last one standing.. 💃🏻💃🏻 the staff was so friendly and everyone just vibed in their own way. I'll be back!! ❤️‍🔥“

“I went to Velvet room with a few friends to celebrate a retirement. The ambience was beautiful and elegant. The wing appetizers with Garlic Parmesan and the BBQ were crispy, saucy and delicious. I had the pasta with shrimp which was also delicious. The staff was sweet and attentive. The owner is down to Earth, kind and accommodated us with a cake and board sign for our friend who was the guest of honor. My party of 5 had a great time. The music was also great. The drinks were good. I had a mango lemon drop which had a good kick and tasted good. I would return and recommend whoever reads this to drop by!“

“Loved the atmosphere and vibe. Only negative is that we went there for lavender martini’s but they have been taken off the menu. My friend was really bummed, she had been looking forward to that cocktail. Needs to be put back on the drink menu!“

“Nice food, self service champagne, wine soft drinks and spirits. Showers, quiet area.
Friendly professional service.
A big thank you to Chris and Ronin for rescuing my phone, when I left it on my chair. Disaster averted!
I also saw chris go off to help a lady with ice for a swollen knee.“

“We chose The View for our anniversary dinner, and it was a fantastic decision. The food quality stood out: the oysters and shrimp were incredibly fresh, and our entrées—the salmon and swordfish—were cooked perfectly and delicious. We also thoroughly enjoyed the beet salad. The entire staff was wonderful, and the complimentary anniversary dessert was such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend this spot for a special occasion.“

“The best 5 course meal my wife and I have ever had thus far. Our hands down favorite, and rightfully so as sushi fanatics, was the hamachi. Talk about fresh on fresh on fresh on fresh. Fresh fish, fresh fruit, fresh sauce, fresh cream, fresh presentation—insanely delicious and refreshing.

The tiger bread was some of the most exceptional bread we've ever had as well. The garlic was as buttery smooth to spread as the whipped butter itself, and was pleasantly flavorful without being overly potent.

My next course was the butternut squash rigatoni. The garnish on top was light and crisp and added that extra accent to the whole dish to round it off beautifully. My wife got the iberico pork, which was cooked to tender perfection. The broccoli mash concoction that came with it was reminiscent of broccoli rabe but basically in it's ultimate form anime-style. Crazy inventive.

The next course for me was the beer battered monkfish with risotto and was actually the best beer battered anything I've ever tasted. Superior crisp encasing that mouth melting fish. The risotto had crispy chunks in it as well and helped offset the heaviness of the fried fish like a wife offsets her husband's hard shell exterior and gives way to his heart of flesh. Speaking of, my wife got the lamb with risotto and it was yet again a perfectly tender cut of meat. It was smokey and carried a more intense flavor, which also was rounded out by the gentleness of the risotto, complimenting it on that marital level yet again.

Lastly, the desserts came in and ended the whole show the same way it began—with favorite-level energy. It was the solid second favorite course for both of us. Mine was the panna cotta. Yo. It went crazy. It was like a salted caramel apple cheesecake, but after finding a way to dial in each ingredient to the max before artistically laying it all out on a plate without any of the cheesecake crust. I LOVE sweet/savory, and it encapsulated that in a dessert beautifully. My wife had the chocolate cake with ice cream, and like we don't even know how to properly describe how good that one was—but here goes nothing. The cake was dark dark and rich rich from the sauce oozing on top to the moist pastry itself. The ice cream had a citrus undertone to it that balanced out the richness of the cake. Literally, yin and yang on a plate with the freshest chocolate drenched cherries on top. Good Lord, the Lord is good indeed.

The service was top notch, from the warm greetings, to the coat check in, to the menu break down, to the seamless water refilling and course transitions. We are big on omakase type meals as sushi heads, and this was up there while being a fraction of the price. There was a chill and comforting vibe to the whole restaurant as well. Take a trip here and let them take your palette on a trip it will sing praises on the whole way through. Bless.“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“The decor at Victors Cafe was absolutely stunning! I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and classy it felt, with a wonderful tropical vibe. Our waiter was truly phenomenal, constantly checking in on us and being incredibly attentive. And the food and desserts were simply amazing. I highly recommend paying a visit to Victors Cafe for an all-around fantastic experience!“

“Boca is the most unique enjoyable amazing restaurant lounge experience in the Tri State Area.“

“Delicious food, amazing staff, and a great venue.

Every single staff member here is amazing. Franck is a ROCKSTAR and made our meal lovely.

In terms of food, the dip sampler platter was so good and came with endless bread. Patatas bravas, salad verde, and beef kebabs were all perfectly seasoned. The cocktails we had (Neon Lights and Amaro Sour) were both delicious.

We also had a food allergy (dairy free) in our group and staff was fantastic with helping us order and flagging any sauces she needed to avoid.“
