22 Best Bars in Long Island City

“I love this place! I’ve told all my friends about it. The music is 10/10. Drinks are 10/10. Service 10/10. I had such a GREAT time. My man and I literally danced all night. The manager gave us shots because it was our birthday. So sweet!

Food is 4/10. They don’t have much on the food menu so I recommend eating beforehand and enjoying their cocktails cause they’re bomb!

The vibe is so open & free people just want to have a good time! And the aesthetic is so cute. Can’t wait to visit again!“

“All the drinks and food were satisfying. The menu, thoughtfully selected by an expert chef from prestigious Citarella Gourmet Market, delivered an incredible sense of satisfaction and sophistication, rarely found in a small bar. The reasonable prices brought even more satisfaction. Whether it's the weekend or any other time, if you're looking to enjoy a drink in a luxurious and pleasant atmosphere, there's no need to go all the way to Manhattan. This is exactly the place you've been search“

“A place with a wonderful atmosphere. The view is beautiful. You can admire the sunset and then beautifully illuminated Manhattan. I would definitely come back for this atmosphere. A very large selection of beers, all the ones I tried were good. As for the food, it was ok. It wasn't anything outstanding but it was tasty. The meat was well cooked and had a nice grilled flavor. The whole dish would need some original sauces that would make everything less dry.“

“Had a great time here with a group for a private party; we rented the back room which was perfect. Service was good, lovely ambiance, very nice outdoor space separates the main bar area from the back room. I don’t know if they have food, so I did 3 stars.“

“10/10!! I always get food from here to both of my jobs. I work at a food spot and literally talked w my customers how good the food is here! Had the chicken mushroom pasta, pasta bolognese, steak sandwich, and spicy Cajun pork belly. You can’t go wrong w anything good here. I would give my first born to whoever cooking in the kitchen. I hope all the workers are paid well and the best in life cause 🤯🤯🤯. Easily my go to spot. Super fast and kind service as well!“

“If i could give this place more than five stars i would ! food is phenomenal , staff are amazing . Pictures to follow“

“This place has everything you could ask for. The food is 10/10, I could tell everything was freshly cooked. They have very friendly and helpful staff members who make me want to revisit.

Food
Perhaps the least expected, but the food here is actually great. The highlight of it all is the grilled chicken caesar salad, we have yet to find a better one in this neighborhood. The tacos and grilled cheese are also not bad, but maybe more your typical bar stock.

Service
The bartenders all have a kind of calm, amicable presence. In the three years I’ve lived nearby, I’ve never seen even a trace of impatience, even on busy nights. They’re always getting into conversations with the locals, and it gives the place a friendly vibe.

Ambiance
I think this place is underrated as a date spot. It’s not fancy, and sometimes some of the tables can be a bit sticky (hey, spills happen it’s fair). But the lighting is nice — a warm amber light fills the place, and I think it makes you look better. I always feel like I have good conversations with people here, and I can’t quite say why, but I think it’s the vibe. If you’re not looking for anything too fancy, and just want a down to earth place to meet up with someone, this is your spot.

Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese, Caesar salad“

“Definitely a fun bar to hang out in and the staff was very personable. The drinks were decently priced and there were plenty of places to sit and space out between groups. The only drawback is the overly loud music at some points which can make conversation difficult.“

“One observation I will comment on, Jessica the bartender was awesome; Friendly, accommodating & Knowledgeable about sprints!“

“We returned on a visit to McLoughlins 38 years after it was the initial beacon on my arrival in the USA. From there I linked up with my friends , got a contact for a job , heard about accommodation going for rent and bumped into old friends. It created a network and a safety net for a whole generation of Irish immigrants. John is carrying on the traditional welcome provided by his father and uncle. He could not have been more helpful or kind as well as having that natural gift of the gab good barmen possess. Drinks were also fine“
