29 Best Cocktail Bars in Long Island City

“I love this place. will join again“

“Great place to watch the sunset over NYC! Great drinks and good food! Excellent service.“

“Amazing people, really good energy and memorable cocktails 🍸“

“Recently went and although the food and waiter staff were great, we were expecting what we seen on here. There was no performances. An empty space. Apparently there's a 2 hr gap between brunch and dinner. The booking site allowed for a 4pm reservation. When we arrived we were accommodated but looked at funny. We found out that brunch had ended at 3pm. I was really hoping for the full experience I seen here and paid alot and didn't get it.“

“Had a great time here. They offer unique, creative cocktails, and the atmosphere really gives you that hidden speakeasy feel. The drinks were well made, the service was friendly, and the overall experience was a lot of fun. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something different.“

“How is it possible that I didn’t review 4747lic here before?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time I go there for weekend brunch, I have to return for dinner! I just can’t get enough of the place. Their Dutch baby “Primadonna” pancake and lobster roll are to die for. Much of what is on the menu it’s imported from Italy of the finest ingredients. It’s always fun to take the ferry across from Manhattan to the Pepsi Cola Sign and walk a couple of blocks. They can accommodate large groups, children, pets, wheelchairs, (you name it) at their outdoor seating. Run there. 😊💕“

“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was exceptional. A special thank you to William, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“We came here after being directed from another bar because our group was too big, and what a great intervention from the universe. We immediately got a standing table for our group of 10+ and our host Genevieve welcomed us so warmly and so attentively, especially for my husband celebrating his birthday. Probably about 20 mins later, a table opened up and she was able to get our group seated, and get extra chairs from outside wiped from the rain.

The cocktails were great, our group had a bunch of the Grey Garden (Earl Grey-infused gin-based drink) and our host recommended other yummy cocktails, they had a handful of tea-infused ones that tasted great.

We thought we’d just stay for a drink or two but ended up staying for four hours until 2am. Another table ended up buying us a round of shots back and forth with us! This bar was good vibes all around, with great drinks, a great bartender, and amazing host - shout out for our great time, Genevieve!“

“la comida deliciosa y la atencionmiy buena“

“Really nice decor, if you’re in a group I’d recommend a reservation but walking in as 1-2 seems doable. Service can get backed up quickly so sometimes it takes awhile to order. But once they see you’re ready the waiter/waitress will make a point to get things moving for you. Food is excellent.“

“The small plates and the desserts are fantastic.“

“The tacos and margaritas were definitely the highlight of our visit! The tacos came out fresh and packed with flavor. The tortillas were soft, the fillings were well seasoned, and everything tasted freshly prepared. We tried a few different tacos, which made it nice to share and sample different flavors.

The margaritas were just as good—refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet like you get at some places. You could actually taste the tequila and fresh lime, and they paired perfectly with the tacos.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable combination of good food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for a spot to grab tacos and margaritas with friends, this is definitely worth checking out. I would come back again, especially for the margaritas!“

“I’ve been coming here for 4+ years and it’s absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough. One of the best cocktails in the city by far. I always go for Ego Trippin but I’ve tasted the others and they all have their thing and it works, names are also very fun.“

“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“

“Buena música! buena comida y bebidas!“

“what the fish is definitely a place you wanna come to if you’re looking for good food, great vibes, bumping music, and club energy. the team is incredibly hardworking and welcoming. this is the second time we’re celebrating my dads birthday here and he loves it. 15/10 recommend!“

“Good service and good friendly“

“A place that is not only historically important for the nyc bar scene but also holds up. Important stop in to queens. Shout to our server Jason he was highly knowledgeable on the history on the cocktail scene as a whole and helped navigate us to the cocktails of our choice!!!“

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“Jamila and Kenny 10s across the board, they move mountains and they really care about the people that come in and want to help. They’re the first people you’ll see when you walk in too and they’ll just heighten the whole experience. Everyone was nice but they made our experience even better because they started it“

“The best empanadas outside Argentina. The steaks are truly amazing. Great wine list and wonderful cocktails. Very friendly and attentive wait staff.“

“Amazing pizza, great service and vast menu. I love Nona’s Meatballs, spicy rigatoni, and the farro salad“

“Really delicious Thai. This is real Thai food in the neighborhood. The quality is comparable to many Thai restaurants in Elmhurst that I would go out of my way to order to go. But I guess I can just get it from Ros Niyom now. I love the woonsen so much.
The tom yum is a bit on the salty side but very flavorful.“

“Our server and bartender, Casper, was super attentive and friendly to my group. We were visiting for a birthday and had been fighting the busy crowds all weekend, so we were pretty relieved that we found a nice spot to eat and drink that was actually a calm and cool atmosphere. Wings were delicious and crispy, drinks were balanced with a nice selection of different fun options, and again the service was awesome! We had a great time!“

“Great atmosphere… beautiful setting on the water, gorgeous circular bar…neighborhood place grateful for!“

“Great staff, cocktails, food & relaxing ambiance. Has outdoor seating and a cozy room in the back for larger parties.“

“Great backdrop for a wedding party“
