50 Best Bars near Maspeth

“Perfect. It has that feeling“

“Had takeout last night, chicken burger and potatoes skins. Delicious as always.“

“Both Owen and Harry are great bartenders. They’re both talented singers, like a live jukebox! Be sure to ask them for a tune and they won’t disappoint. 10/10 would recommend to a friend ❤️“

“Went there for company presentation so only had some of there appetizers. The chicken fingers mozzarella sticks and spring rolls. All were very tasty and the portion was great. All were served with tasty sauce. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Other people that were there were raving about the foods that they had. The only downfall is parking around there.“

“2 Really cool music venues out of and in a 100yr old structure that was a staple of Maspeth Queens. Definitely a cool vibe, easy to move around. Has Food Trucks available. And great Bartenders. Now here's where my review goes south. The building is old and wasn't built for comfort. There's very minimal if any A/C. Fans don't do much to help. It gets very hot and humid inside. The bars are easily accessible and well staffed but the selection is minimal. They need to provide more of a selection for beer and canned drinks. It was evident how the place stands when only a Ukrainian flag was flown. Which then explains the Coed bathrooms. which I saw ultimately filtered into men and women as the night went on. Albeit, a few stragglers chose either. Including dudes obviously seeing which one had more women. My final issue was Security. They obviously hired the wrong firm considering the level of events they hold. They were lackluster in their efforts, including properly handling crowdsurfers at the rail. Many were dropped. They even tried to be in the crowd. Very unprofessional. Many had attitudes when spoken with. They also seem to like to violate civil rights. Including asking to prove one's medical needs were actually what they said it was. No matter it's commercial packaging. Then stating it's to keep everyone safe, was condescending to say the least. Quite the attitude on that girl. And then to force two kids in the lot from waiting for their party. Meanwhile, the venue was still full. Overall, I'd say the Venue is cool. Don't let their views get I the way of a good time. But they definitely need to hire an experienced security firm. The cheap route will lead to trouble.“

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“We came with a group of 6 for just axe throwing to celebrate our friend who recently graduated from Basic Training. Instead we did axe throwing, ninja stars, sword throwing, and archery. Loved our coach Joseph, he was an amazing help with teaching us the basic for each! Definitely would come again“

“Bar Mario has been on our list for a while. Glad we got to step in. The staff were super warm and welcoming, especially Natalie!! We sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with her along with some of the specials and recommendations for the night. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, so delicious and comforting. Highly recommend the lasagna. A lovely spot, so happy we finally got to try. Will be back soon!“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Great food, great Guinness, great vibes! Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“I stopped in yesterday with my girlfriends as a trio exactly at 5pm and we were able to get a booth. I loved the cute decor. 90s music and relaxed atmosphere. The shining star of the evening was the Happiest Meal deal…. Do not skip the burger! It is so delicious. We tasted a variety of aeperol spritz’s which were all tasty but my favorite was the classic. Our server Ike was super attentive and friendly, gave us helpful recommendations and playful banter, such a sweetheart. We will definitely be back for Happy Hour (and the burgers). Thanks for a great girls date.-Veronica“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Absolutely loved this place! It's classic NYC vibes and fits so well. The food was outstanding and for as hard as reservation were to get it was not overly expensive on the food side! Drinks were up there but nothing surprising for the city.
Absolutely get the burger and make sure you get the peprcorn sauce with it!“

“What a fantastic find in Chelsea! We stopped in on a whim and ended up having one of the best dining experiences we've had in Manhattan. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was exceptional, and every dish that came to the table was packed with flavor.

We ordered several plates to share so we could try as much as possible, and honestly, every single item impressed us. The cocktails were just as memorable as the food and complemented everything perfectly.

The only downside? There were still dishes on the menu we wanted to try, but we simply ran out of room. This is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing Spanish cuisine in NYC!“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“এই রেস্তোরাঁটি খুবই যুক্তিসঙ্গত মূল্যে অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে সুস্বাদু খাবার সরবরাহ করে। পরিষেবাটি অসাধারণ, এবং সামগ্রিক অভিজ্ঞতা অসাধারণ। দাম সাশ্রয়ী রাখার পাশাপাশি এত উচ্চ মানের খাবার বজায় রাখার জায়গা খুঁজে পাওয়া বিরল। নিঃসন্দেহে, এটি আমার অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্যে সেরা রেস্তোরাঁগুলির মধ্যে একটি। This restaurant offers incredibly delicious food at very reasonable prices. The service is outstanding, and the overall experience is wonderful. It is rare to find a place that maintains such high quality while keeping prices affordable. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever experienced.“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“Top class place, friendly staff and great food and savage craic! Well worth a visit if you find your self in need of a pint and a shot!“

“The perfect place for an event! We threw a birthday party in the back room and had the best time. Aaron was so accommodating and communicative throughout the booking process, right up until the event started. All the staff were so kind and helpful, and a huge shoutout to our servers Lucia and Brian! They made sure everything went smoothly, and the night couldn’t have gone any better.“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“There is something very very cool about The Wren. I hate to admit it but we were those last two patrons who wanted a drink before heading out and the Wren I had been to before. They did not need to seat us but they did and even though it was 10 minute stay at the bar and because we care about people it was an order-and-pay kinda thing. We were here maybe 7 minutes but we wanted to let you know this kind of embracing is why New York is very kind, cool and heartfelt. We cashed out and left but we really appreciated it. Thank you so much we promise to never do that again and make a proper reservation.“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“We stumbled across this place yesterday, we dipped in from the cold for a break and had a pleasant surprise, the staff were so welcoming and made sure we got a seat at the bar... later realised I had read about the bar previously, the hot dogs are a lovely touch and drinks amazing prices. x“

“So Devious My Mouth Is Feels So Lucky Too Taste“

“Came here with my best friend to catch up and we had a great time. The atmosphere is beautiful and the music is at the level to still be able to hold a conversation. My friend arrived before me and ordered us two margaritas and a beer to catch the happy hour prices. Then we tried the happy hour tacos. We had one of each, mushroom Al Pastor, Tinga and carnitas. I think the Al pastor isn’t bad just not my favorite vegetarian taco I’ve tried. Then the tinga surprised me - it’s actually very good and tastes very similar to what I grew up eating at home. My favorite was the carnitas taco. The tacos with the chile de árbol salsa or salsa macha is a great blend.
Then I ordered the carnitas gorditas and they were amazing - the Gordita was made made perfectly - I prefer a more crunchy Gordita than a fluffy one. My friend tried the sticky wings - they were cooked extra crispy like we asked for but the flavor wasn’t bad it was unexpected - there’s chamoy in their sauce, while they’re not bad wings they’re not great either.
The yuzu spritz truly stood out- very refreshing
The server was nice.“

“The hospitality is incredible. After living in nyc for 8+ years and eating out at a lot of Italian spots, this is one of my top restaurants now and a go to. The Dover is incredible and the short rib is magical. They have incredible wine by the glass options - super Tuscan was our pick. Ask for the dessert wine that is has apricot and peach tones. Highly recommend and they can accommodate for large private dining with some sectioned off parts of the restaurant!

Will be coming uptown to eat more often now! Can’t wait to be back. They had a lamb agnolotti special that rocked our world“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Jimmy's Corner is a must stop every time we're in NYC! The bar tenders are the best part of this place. We can't wait to go back!“

“Delicious wood fired pizza with amazing toppings including vegan options. Wonderful, cozy environment and eclectic playlist. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Stand Up Comedy once a month . Next FREE show, Thursday February 7“

“Has a great neighborhood spot vibe, with a very friendly bar staff that seem to really
love what they do.

Their menu features a lot of classics that are riffed on with aperitifs and vermouth’s - of which they have an amazing back bar display. I love seeing a bar that really goes deep on one style of drink and does it perfectly.
The drinks tend towards the lighter and session-able side, with a the on tap Americano Bianco being my favorite.

Happy hour is an amazing deal - I don’t know the last time I paid under $15 for an actually quality cocktail in NYC!“

“Great place to take out all of your aggression. Great prices for food and drinks“

“This place is so homey. As a Thai who hasn't been back home for years, the dishes here really hit the spot. Their crab curry is very aromatic and rich in flavor (with a nice kick too). The softshell crab was so divine and the pork was delicious. We would definitely recommend!“

“If I could rate the service 10 stars I would. Victoria was the absolute BEST waitress I’ve ever had at a bottomless brunch experience. She consistently checked in on us, and I truly had the best birthday ever with 10 of my closest friends. Despite being a larger group, we felt cared for and attended to. It was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better day because of Victoria“

“Food and drinks were amazing.“

“You have to try the Korean Fried Broccoli OMG! I’m a stickler for steak so I usually have the Steak and fried egg. If you like it rare like me just ask for it black n blue.“

“Great sandwich app was a little qurkie nice place would read“

“The food and service were impeccable.😍“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“Great little place. Small menu. Cute vibe. Great service.“

“Great beer selection. Great staff. Good vibe. Good people. I am a native New Yorker and very picky about my bars and defensive of my neighborhood. This is the best bar I’ve been to in years. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner.“
