20 Best Cocktail Bars in Long Island City

“I love this place. will join again“

“Has to now be one of my favorite cocktail bars in New York City. Tucked in an industrial Street in Long Island city it also a club on the weekends right next-door. They serve super innovative and creative cocktails that pushed the boundaries of textures and flavors. We love the presentation in the atmosphere upon entering the establishment. But the service and the drinks were what blew us away. The music was also very interesting and some tracks were even nostalgic. If you have some time, please stop by and support this speakeasy cocktail bar. The prices are a little bit more on the expensive side as you will be paying about $19-$20 per drink, but for the complexity taste and ambience. It is well worth it.“

“My boyfriend and I have visited this great bar a few times now, and I must say, it’s a fantastic place. It’s usually quite crowded, but don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long for a table. We’re usually seated right away.

One thing I love about this bar is that we always have the same server. I can’t recall his name, but he’s incredibly efficient and fast, providing excellent service. My favorite drink is the spicy one, but I can’t remember the name either.

I highly recommend this place because I genuinely feel that they care about their customers. And the best part? Their drinks are amazing! They frequently change their menu, so I’m always excited to try something new. I know it’s going to be good because I’ve had great experiences with their previous offerings.

I love this place so much that I highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a great bar experience. I usually go on weekdays, so I don’t know how crowded it can get on weekends. But if you’re looking for a fun and lively atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go!“

“la comida deliciosa y la atencionmiy buena“

“The food was delicious and everything tasted great. The place is very baby-friendly, which made the experience even better for us. The hibiscus margaritas were amazing—definitely a highlight of the visit. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it.“

“Great place. I love to be there 🥰“

“Good food and a nice atmosphere. I do wish the Szechuan food was a little more spicy, but the dishes we got, like Shrimp with silken tofu, Szechuan fish fillet with tofu, Dan Dan noodles, and Green Beans was very good. Prices are a little high and portions were small compared to Flushing, but the difference was not extravagant, and for three people we were able to be full for about $90 pre-tip, which is respectable.“

“Buena música! buena comida y bebidas!“

“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“

“this place is the best, the food, the atmosphere, the drink!!!“

“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.“

“Good service and good friendly“

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“Came here on a Thursday and booked the center table. Everything from the vibe to the music, to the delicious cocktails to the hospitality was 100!! I haven’t danced like that in so long. And the staff was so accommodating - big shout out to Bri and the server working the floor! I even left my blazer behind and they were very helpful when I came back days later for it. My new fave spot 💗“

“Dutch Kills absolutely exceeded expectations. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, stylish, and effortlessly welcoming. The attention to detail in both the ambiance and service really stands out.

The drinks are nothing short of exceptional—each cocktail is crafted with precision and creativity, balancing flavors in a way that feels both unique and refined. You can tell the bartenders truly know their craft and take pride in what they serve.

Service is top-notch: friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without ever feeling overbearing. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a great night out, this place delivers on every level.

Overall, Dutch Kills is a must-visit spot. An easy 5 stars for its outstanding drinks, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommended!“

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

“I ordered a lobster roll, mimosa, + salad from the brunch menu. While the serving was small considering the price, it was delicious. Staff was odd. They all (hostess, waitress, cafe bar) kind of lacked social skills. Not very warm and welcoming.“

“Great backdrop for a wedding party“
