14 Best Cocktail Bars in Long Island City

“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.“

“Service? Superb. Dan Dan noodles? Mouth watering. Crab Roe Pork Soup Dumplings? I'd slap my mother twice for another bite. And I love my mother. That gin Oolong cocktail? I'd let you slap me twice and call me Sally for another sip. My name is not Sally. Their fish dish in that fancy tray over an open fire? I've never been religious but I found god in the first bite. Will not only go back, but will move in permanently.“

“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!“

“We went for Thanksgiving, not expecting much. Understanding they would be busy at 7pm, we decided to take our chances and walk in. Super friendly service. We got a welcome eggnog, brilliantly cooked 3 course price fix menu, great service. There were some hiccups (soup came out crazy fast, while the drinks took the normal time. A little odd) loved that they had a kobe steak as arn option, very moist turkey too. Pumpkin creme bruleee was tasty-not too "pumpkiny". They even have us a free champagne with dessert. Really worth it“

“The small plates and the desserts are fantastic.“

“Fresh, delicious, prepared with special skill and color, the food impressed once again! The presentation of dishes and service are as always at their best. The friendliness and politeness of the people who greet guests is invaluable! This restaurant has a special atmosphere filled with care and comfort. You never want to leave this place. I recommend Shrimp Jambalaya, Tacos, Refreshing beverages.🥰😍😋💖👍“

“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“Sweetleaf is a really nice little cozy spot in LIC. Seems like it would be a good spot to go with some friends if some of you want to have a cocktail, but others don’t.

The latte I had (maple leaf latte) was a very nice flavor and just the right sweetness. Highly recommend stopping in and checking this place out if you are in the area.“

“The food I would say was very mid.. the steak was good but they need better Mac and cheese ..and maybe better calamari..the food in my opinion some of the dishes stood out while the others was not worth it. Drinks was good they was made very strong and the prices was affordable ?“
