50 Best Bar & Grill near Forest Hills

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

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

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

“We went to Benny John’s for a nightcap since it was close to our hotel and advertised all day happy hour. The happy hour drink selection is somewhat limited, but they still offer a good variety at a great price. I had the sauvignon blanc & my wife had the sangria. The sauvignon blanc was as expected & sangria was a dry sangria & not overly sweet.

I had the apple cobbler for dessert which is really the reason for my review — and it was delicious. It was served warm and paired with vanilla ice cream.

The staff was pleasant. Overall, a great spot for a casual nightcap and dessert.“

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

“Went for a bday brunch and it was great.
DJ was awesome and good at reading the room. The food was fantastic across the board. All dishes were so tasty. Drinks were on point especially the henny sangria. Overall I would recommend.

Only issue was parking!!!“

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

“Had a great late breakfast complete with Mimosas and Alfie’s Amber Ale- all served by our awesome bartender Niamh from Ireland!!!“

“A great local place to go when I was in NYC. The film connection also very cool. I’ll be back.“

“4.0/5 for a gooood reason
This is probably one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. It is sooooo simple yet so tasty. The bun is amazing, the quality of the meat is unbeatable and the fries are out of this world…HOWEVER it is SO noisy that you cannot even hear yourself also Service is not that great, we waited a lot to be noticed. That’s the only reason I am not giving a 5 star to Lions“

“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!“

“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.“

“A very dive-y feel. It was very busy when we went but the bartender was able to give us his proper attention. We ordered a mule & a tequila negroni-- both of which were prepared with good amount ingredients NOT watered down. Good music - a mix of throwback 2000s with current tracks. Price was the same as every other manhattan establishment. Very comfortable.“

“Delicious food and drinks 😎“

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

“If you happen to be in this area, this is an absolutely wonderful place to spend as much time as you want, especially at the bar. The music is very good, the food is very good, the wine is not bad, and the atmosphere is perfect. The bartender is especially very friendly and welcoming.“

“Friendly staff and bartender. Good drink selection. I don’t even like bars or drinking but this place was cozy. The food was surprisingly really good given that it’s a bar. I got the burger which was juicy and the fries were crispy and hot; chicken bacon sandwich which was amazing. They also did a bingo night which was fun.“

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

“I started coming here every Friday for about two months and it's always a vibe. I really enjoy myself each time and sing and dance to the songs. The people and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I don't regret coming here at all.“

“The friendly atmosphere the warm food and food presented well“

“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 ? ?“

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

“This place is the place to go for a quick drink and a snack or a full dining experience. The staff is absolutely amazing with Alan leading the way. We met Sean and Alan our first night there and Alan again our second night with my in-laws. Everyone is very friendly and outgoing while giving top notch service. We've been here since Friday and it has quickly become our go to spot for drinks before and after dinner. If you're in NYC you need to get there and let the staff treat you like they've known you for years.“

“This place is everything!! Great Staff and great Owners!!“

“We love this place. Great if you’re craving some bar food. Everything is really delicious and they let us bring our dog which was a huge plus! Depending on when you go there may or may not be wait, it’s kind of just sit wherever you can get a seat“

“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.“

“Awesome atmosphere and a great draft selection! The appetizers we got were excellent as well! The staff was friendly and had great energy 🩵 would go back in a heartbeat. The only bummer was they didn’t have smaller than 2XL shirts on hand at the time of our visit…I wanted one so bad 😂 Needless to say the shirts are great too! 100/10 recommend 🍻“

“Frozen Coquito And nachos“

“My friends and I ate dinner here on a trip to NYC. After struggling to find a restaurant that didn’t have a long wait time, we walked right into Bella Union and were seated immediately (this restaurant is soooo much bigger than most of the places in the city, so you have a much better chance of being served right away!)

It’s a super cute place and great atmosphere! The service was good and food was yummy!“

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

“The vibe is electric. Great drinks, food & staff. Fun place to watch the game. I'll be back.“

“Good food great atmosphere“

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

“Great neighborhood bar. I was in town for a few days and ducked in for a quick drink. I met some awesome local folks - Ona, Jason, and Adam were so much fun! The food was good for a bar, the bourbon was reasonably priced, the service from the bartender was just right and the atmosphere was more than I was expecting - a fun, chill, no frills bar was just what I was looking for. I left feeling that I truly do have A Wonderful Life. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in NYC!“

“Hosted my birthday dinner here, great food, great host , good music , great drinks, fun ambience, great decor, everything amazing!!“

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

“Ended up here on Christmas Day eve and they had a full kitchen, cocktails and a band playing. Highly recommended.“

“Small place with great flavors. We had the soy garlic wings which were delicious and had lots of meat on them. The squid fries were wonderful. The corn cheese was very good just needed something to scoop them up with for which I used the crust from the delicious shrimp pizza.
Would come again and again.“

“We had a great time at Hello Bar the meal was flavorful, drinks were great! and the DJ had us really in our groove I think his name was DJ Brooklyn Jay between the dancehall, Afrobeats, hip hop etc he had all kinds of cool transitions and played to the crowd which some DJ’s forget to do we will be back“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“This is my home away from home. Owners Provi & Oggie are absolutely amazing ! Hospitality on 10000. The bartenders are also amazing every single one of them.Kevin , Ashley , Heaven , Kayla , Angela & i behave there is one more women i can't remember her name or if i ever met her but i don't doubt she isn't amazing like the rest of the staff. They make me feel so welcome and noticed. Their food is so good but i LOOVEEEE their buffalo wings. Absolutely delicious shout out to the chef. Drinks always amazing. It's just such a home like vibe. Nice puerto rican spot in all of coney island ( it is the only one but i love it) i refuse to go anywhere else for my wings and their events are so cute. 20/10“
