“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“I live in Forest Hills and I’ve been to this place a few times in the last few months with some friends and let me tell you their beer doesn’t taste any better then a cheap beer or ale from the 99 cent store. I really don’t like to write bad reviews to businesses especially with the pandemic and how bars/ restaurants are struggling to make ends meet today, but I really have had it with this so called owner that was beyond rude to me after I stopped by and used the restroom. I have come as a customer a few times and really needed to make an emergency restroom stop. Since I had patronized his establishment before, I didn’t think it would be a big deal to quickly use the restroom. When I got out of the restroom the owner was very rude and nasty to me, telling me to never come back to his bar. I asked him why and he said because I wasn’t spending money and that my type shouldn’t be allowed to come to his place. I was appalled at his behavior and attitude and told him I will gladly not ever return.“

“Always a pleasure coming to Rove! Tonite was an exceptional experience. I wish i got the bartenders name. Wednesday 4/24/24 between 7-9pm. Nice nails and curly hair. She was funny pleasant and took care of us. Long story short, after great apps and drinks, paid the bill and left…I dropped a $50 out of my pocket after I paid and left and was only 2 store fronts down and she came after me telling me you dropped a bill and gave it back. You don’t see this honestly often anymore. Kudos to her and Rove deserves her as an employee.“

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“Set up a surprise party Friday night and their entire staff was so helpful throughout the process. They made it seamless. All of my guests had an incredible time. Food, cocktails, vibe, everything was fantastic. A major thank you to the manager Jordan for helping me get everything arranged, our server KiKi, who handles a large party with ease, and I even met the chef who came out to say hello and was so accommodating and welcoming. They’ve made regulars out of me and my guests!“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“The whole family loves it! A go-to comfort spot for us.Great selection of beers on tap.“

“Great spot to enjoy several beers with friends.“

“We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Spice Symphony.
We are originally from Mumbai and this place took us back to our roots. The ambience, hospitality and taste were a 5/5.
The servers were attentive and prompt to respond.
We were a noisy bunch seated there because it was a family reunion, but the staff were still kind and accommodating. They made sure we felt at home and the rest of the restaurant guests were not inconvenienced by us.

My personal favourite is the Dahi Kebab, Palak paneer and Rasmalai.
I tasted the Chinese food from one of my cousin’s choices and relished the Hakka Noodles.

Thank you for a memorable experience at Times Square!“

“Great spot to hang out and I loved the music!“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“This past weekend I hosted a luncheon to celebrate four milestone senior birthdays. We were about 20 in the rear of the outdoor area. The staff was fabulous as when I arrived we altered how things were laid out. They just went along enthusiastically and we achieved our goal The special menu prepared by the chef was delicious, flavorful and plentiful. I cannot say enough about how magnificent the event was and how from the beginning to end all they want to do is please. The attendees have not stopped expressing how “perfect “ everything was. Thank you Threes Brewing for everything and making our birthdays very memorable!!!“

“Incredible food - one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The chefs are phenomenal and very personable. I recently ate at Le Bernadin and the food at Pearl rivaled Le Bernadin’s. Highly recommended! I really can’t say enough good things about this place.“

“And cider & bier - about a dozen on draught, and more cabs and bottles on the in the cooler. Great Brie garden in back for gatherings.“

“Nice causal place for a date. Nice music, great Hospitality and Healthy food!“

“Between the aimrt and the staff, this place is awesome. I have heard that the beer is also awesome here too(but I can't drink it). However they have more than beer and they have na too! They play all the major sports if that's your thing. You can reserve tables for parties. Beers are great, staff are great! Seriously give them all the tips. And they often have pop up food, whis had always been spot on! Tonight was good by Q! Yummm... I hope you get a Q food night! Also, all bathrooms are non gendered and clean. Drink here be happy..“

“Recently stopped in to kill some time, and this turned out to be the whole highlight of my NYC trip that day! I previously have had Other Half brews before and since this was conveniently located by where I was headed I added it. I had 3 different beers, the Broccoli, Bacon and the BA Sugar cereal and all were amazing. Staff was super friendly and they had some great tunes in the background. Highly recommend!“

“Wine was fantastic. Food was amazing. Austin was both. My friend and I think about our great experience often and would 100% recommend others to go, as we will be returning soon! Service was friendly, wine was funky, vibes were fabulous🙌🏻“

“So excited to see this place open!“

“We were a group of 23 to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and John, Alex, the staff could not have been more attentive and accommodating. The beer was awesome, the appetizers delicious, the venue just gorgeous, the music and the vibe so good!! We will be back again!“

“This definitely wasnt my first visit.. but every time I come here, I find something new to love.. The energy inside this place is just amazing.. Today was the first time I brought my wife and kids and they absolutely loved it too. Honestly how could they not?!! Wonderful people incredible food and such a welcoming atmosphere. I honestly dont know how every single item on the menu can be this good but hey yes it is! Thank you all:)“

“Can’t believe I walked by this spot so many times and didn’t go in until now. Cute and cozy, really extensive menu. Food was amazing and came out fast. The pork curry & rice is so good! Will definitely be back for more.“

“Great place, great food!!!“

“After a long walk on the Upper West Side, I came across this spot. It was very nice, with a great selection of beers to help beat the heat. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back to get one of those big cans to go. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The arcade machine was a total plus. I love those things. And the art in the bathroom was also very interesting.“

“BEST restaurant I've EVER been to in my life. Literally had me in a choke hold. I came from Florida to visit NY around May and stumbled in with my friend. Ever since then I could never forget them 😭 the staff are so sweet too. I'm coming back Namdo, just you wait. Please open up another shop in South Florida 🙏 I'll pay top dollar for that recipe too“

“My wife and I visited Handcraft Burgers and Brews for my birthday this past weekend. As soon as my wife opened the menu she knew that I was going to have to try the burger of the month which was a peanut butter and grape jelly topped hamburger with jalapenos, bacon and cheese. Admittedly I have never had peanut butter and jelly on a burger before but I figured I would try something new and see what all of the hype was about. Turns out, I loved it! Every bite was so flavorful and completely made my birthday lunch a worthwhile venture! We also tried the tater tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot. We could have chosen from multiple dipping sauces but we decided to go with the garlic aioli and I am glad we did. I dipped each of my tater tots in the sauce and there was plenty for both of us to share. We were helped by Vanessa at the restaurant and she was very accommodating when I was having trouble using a coupon that I had for my birthday. All in all this was a wonderful choice for my birthday lunch and when we are in the area again I would definitely stop by and perhaps try the latest burger of the month along with some tater tots and garlic aioli dipping sauce of course!“

“I didnt eat there but my band soft spot played a show there. The band Lo Lux put it on and they did a fantastic job hosting, running sound and being one of the best bands I've played with !
As for the bar itself the staff was fantastic ! barely a wait for a drink even with a packed bar ! If you have a severe peanut allergey this may not be the place for you as they serve peanuts like a bar would serve pretzels with the shells being thrown to the floor. All in all aside from the peanut situation I would definitely recommend going and if you're lucky enough to catch Lo Lux, well you will have struck gold.“

“Cute bartender and great beer. 🍺“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

“This place is a must-visit for a drink or a cocktail. Whether you’re in the mood to socialize or unwind, it’s the perfect spot. The bartenders are exceptional and always attentive. They make sure you’re comfortable and check on your cup regularly, which I appreciate. The prices are always reasonable, and I’ve never been overcharged for anything. I highly recommend this place and give it a 💯% rating 10/10.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Incredible selection of craft beer. Great vibe, close to many great places to eat, the Barclay Center, Gowanus. Heated outdoor beer garden.“

“Gold Star is the perfect neighborhood beer bar. It features an excellent rotating selection of brews served by friendly and knowledgeable barkeeps. The inside bar is chill with eclectic music wafting from the turntable. The sidewalk seating is my favorite place in Brooklyn to enjoy a cold beer on a nice day. And their little kitchen serves up tasty sandwiches, cheeses, and meats. It does get crowded on the weekend, so sneak out on a Tuesday afternoon and get yourself a beer.“

“The oysters were on point!“

“Well made cocktails. Very smart staff“

“Great atmosphere and service. And the truffle fries were terrific!“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“Great selection of beers from around the world!“

“Very nice service and selection. I am here 1nce a week or every other week. The Bartender is great and attentive without being overly so. Cheers!!“

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

“​Nestled in this beautiful neighborhood, this bar is a true gem. The atmosphere is immediately captivating, with a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe setting the stage for a cozy and eclectic experience. Every corner seems to tell a story, leading you from the intimate indoor seating to a fantastic 'patio' that's perfect for a relaxed evening or hot late afternoon. The variety of beers on tap is great, offering local craft brews to international favorites. What truly elevates this place, however, is the barman. Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate, he makes you feel right at home. It's a place where you can lose track of time ;)“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“Best old fashions in Astoria.“

“Worth the visit! Many people might not know about this place, but it’s owned by famous Nepali singer Bikki Gurung(Mari jau)❤

If you’re looking for a karaoke night, don’t waste your money elsewhere when you can enjoy free karaoke with a drink here. You also get a chance to meet him and his sister in person — she’s incredibly sweet.

I really enjoyed the time we spent talking and had an amazing experience overall.🍀

Will visit again“

“New menu...OMG!...and must try!...the ruben!...the best we EVER had!...the chicken curry half and half...the most unique warm flavor that makes you want more!...the staff?...the most attentive caring warm humans!“
