Lounges near Maspeth, NY

“I came to this place last night on a whim assuming the worst. I didn’t bring me physical ID and the bouncer in the front didn’t let me through until I brought a friend who did have his ID to go inside, call the manager or owner and she would tell the guy to look at this picture on my phone and approve whether it’s real or not. I also got frisked and my bag was searched properly as well so I can’t say this place isn’t secure. With that being said I went in not expecting much but the ambiance and lighting said otherwise. The mods was pretty amazing as in something you would expect from a tropical resort or at a vacation in a foreign country. The waitresses were smoking hot with black leather and uniforms all around and there was a top tier bar in the front. A projector playing a football or soccer game lol very or maybe just the highlights I’m not sure and the music blasting from the speakers gave it this surreal feeling like I was at a club or disco. Suffice it to say it was a pretty good place to go especially if you’re going out with a group of friends or family whatever. The seating was pretty good too. I got a top view deck of the whole layout and tried the best seller for hookah: The lady killed which is a lot more fruitful in taste then I thought. The prices for food and drinks is why I gave this place a 4 star instead of 5 mostly cuz it was dumb expensive.“

“A previous wonderful dining experience at this restaurant made it an instant choice for a milestone birthday trip, and again Ocean Prime knocked it out of the park. They graciously adjusted the reservation at short notice, gave us a fantastic booth, the atmosphere, service and the food were all superb! The pre theater menu is a terrific value with high quality options from the regular menu-the lobster bisque, filet, and desserts (10 layer carrot cake and warm butter cake) were all delicious. I get the impression that locals regularly come here for the impeccable service (I watched the team expertly watching every detail from the sidelines and they immediately noticed and addressed everything). I'm definitely trying my nearby Ocean Prime soon!“

“I definitely recommend ! Perfect spot to hangout with family and friends ! Thank you abhi for a very fun weekend“

“Everything about Gabriel Kreuther restaurant was incredible!“

“Had a wonderful evening at this rooftop restaurant! Food & drinks were on point ! The views alone are worth the visit, especially as the sun sets and the city lights come alive. The atmosphere was relaxed but still felt special, with cozy seating and string lights that made it feel warm and inviting! We’ll be back !“

“Ashley our host tonight was the key. She kept the lines moving, greeted everyone with a smile. She overheard my fiancé mention the buffet was out of rice pudding, and then when it was restocked, she personally delivered 2 bowls to our table! We were so impressed, and felt so cared for on an otherwise tough travel day. The level of hospitality in this lounge is amazing.“

“I had an amazing experience at Chowk! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we felt right at home. The food was absolutely delicious – I highly The drink menu was impressive, with a fantastic selection of cocktails that were expertly crafted. It's clear that Chowk takes pride in their service.

“I had a wonderful experience at The Peninsula rooftop. Pierre, the French waiter, was exceptional
very professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. His service really elevated the experience and made it memorable. I would highly recommend both the rooftop and Pier’s outstanding hospitality!“

“I recently hosted a holiday party at 690, and everything exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant, the space was perfect, and the bar options were excellent. We rented the entire upstairs private floor with a cash bar, and it worked out beautifully. They catered the event, and the food was absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of menu options to choose from. If you're searching for a venue to host your next event, I highly recommend considering 690—it’s a fantastic choice!“

“One of the best hookah spots outside of Morocco. Came here with a bunch of friends we were accommodated. The seating was comfortable the decor and the lighting was very reminiscent of metal eastern places that I’ve done before. Be sure to enjoy the hookah while you’re there and have a French 75.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Fushimi Restaurant! The food was delicious, from the appetizers we ordered to our main course. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, which perfectly complemented our meal. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service provided by our waitress, Ohmie. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. We strongly recommend Fushimi Restaurant, especially because of the outstanding service we received from Ohmie. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Awesome place in the early evening. Not loud, conversation friendly, chill spot. Delicious cocktails, courteous bartenders, clean and lovely neighborhood gem.“

“Uma experiência fantástica, com ótima música! Fui do Brasil a Nova York para conhecer! Show!!“

“There Lichi Martinis 🍸DELICIOUS 😜“

“Beautiful interior design, great music selection, great drinks, food variety can improve but still very tasty. Unfortunately, this place is never packed. Great if you don’t like crowds but terrible for their business. If you’re a Queens Native, or LIC resident, add this to your third place options! ~NYC Native“

“You would never think that this place has some of the best food in Bay ridge but I promise you it does. I am not generally a person who hangs out in lounges. I am more of an old man bar kind of guy but I love this place.

Wife and I went here the other day and ordered the chicken wings and a burger. Along with a few drinks.

The wings we ordered with no sauce but sauce on the side. Came with hot sauce and blue cheese. Wings are super crispy and tender.

The burger here is by far the best burger you will have in all of Bay ridge. Dry aged Pat LaFrieda burger. We got ours ultra rare. Burger was cooked perfectly and it was so flavorful. I crave this burger and the wife never says no when I recommend we go here. It comes with shoestring fries which I normally don't like but here they are excellent.

The staff is super friendly and portions are very generous.

There was a live band playing who played some songs we sang along to and they were fun.

Staff is amazing, overly friendly and generous.

We will definitely be back ... Especially for that burger.“

“I come from Dubai and I gotta say that I love it. The service is amazing, and of course, its memorable. This is for the AmEx Centurion members but I believe depending on how many people there are, Platinum members can enter to some areas.

Overall, good service by AmEx to Centurion holders.“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“Fab place, great service, amazing cocktails“

“LeBernardin is the kind of dining experience you'd dress up for, book in advance, and immerse yourself in for hours. If you're looking for a taste of New York City dining elegance or a memorable evening, this is the place to be. While the prices aren't cheap, the sophistication and rhythmic atmosphere here are truly a treasure to be cherished.“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“A friend and I were walking by and decided to stop in for a drink. We loved the vibe, the music they were playing, the colorful street art style painting all over the walls, the sangria was delish and the bartender was friendly. I believe her name was Garon. Whenever I'm in town I'll be stopping in!“

“We stopped by mid afternoon Sunday before a show at Second City (nearby). The servers were quick to set up drinks and snacks. Enjoyed the big open space. Given the name (bees knees), I was surprised to learn they aren’t stocked with Barr Hill Gin from Vermont which is made from honey. Strongly recommend the manager offered Bar Hill Gin! Obvious choice!“

“Lots of fun. Great service.“

“Sandbar Rooftop is a great, low key rooftop in the Fashion District. It is currently still a hidden gem and never crowded, and on the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel. There are a lot of seating options- it's quite a large space, and the decor is very cute and picture worthy. They have a small cocktail selection and I do wish that they had more considering it is a rooftop bar, but I always like what I order. They also have a small food menu, but I have yet to try anything from it. Prices are super reasonable for a rooftop in the area, and I hope it stays that way. Great place for a summer afternoon!“

“The food was really good, the drinks were strong. We went during the happy hour which was nice. It starts at 4:00 p.m. At least at this time when we went. I like how they have the happy hour deal which is whatever they have on the menu and half off on the drinks. Love our time so much, My friends and I are celebrating another birthday there again.“

“Top shelf EVERYTHING!!! This place rules!!! 💖✨🧿“

“Amazing Place!! Crafty Delicious Cocktails, Awesome Service, Tasty Tapas. Beautiful Ambiance & Presentation. I recommend this Place. Everything's Jake!!👍Thank you, Hana“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“Michelle’s Lounge is a warm, lively place where everyone has a smile on their face. The music is diverse just as the people that go there to unwind and enjoy themselves. The vibes are everything! It’s a great place to go with friends, family or your special someone. My husband and I went and had a phenomenal time. My feet hurt from dancing so much! I can’t wait to go again!“

“An unforgettable experience at Rosevale Kitchen + Cocktails!
From the moment my friend and I arrived, we were greeted with a warm smile by the maître d’, setting the tone for a truly special evening. The ambience is vibrant yet calm, with a stylish outdoor patio that adds a refreshing touch of open air and relaxation.
Sofia, our server, was absolutely phenomenal—polite, well-mannered, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful. She helped me choose the perfect drink, even bringing a wine sample that turned out to be a hit. Her descriptions were spot-on and made the decision effortless.
The food was outstanding. My friend’s Pre-Fix dinner was beautifully presented—her shrimp dish looked like a work of art, and the lime pie was perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. Sofia’s explanation of the chicken’s subtle sweetness was accurate and made the dish even more enjoyable.
Now, about the burger—I've had burgers all over, but this one was next-level. Cooked well-done (just how I like it), yet still moist and packed with flavor. The layers of pickled onions, Gruyère cheese, and sauce were absolute perfection.
Sofia’s attentiveness and charisma added a magical touch to our evening before heading to a Broadway show. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made our experience truly memorable. I can't wait to return with friends and family—and I hope Sofia is there to share her incredible hospitality with them too!“

“Nice food, self service champagne, wine soft drinks and spirits. Showers, quiet area.
Friendly professional service.
A big thank you to Chris and Ronin for rescuing my phone, when I left it on my chair. Disaster averted!
I also saw chris go off to help a lady with ice for a swollen knee.“

“I went to Velvet room with a few friends to celebrate a retirement. The ambience was beautiful and elegant. The wing appetizers with Garlic Parmesan and the BBQ were crispy, saucy and delicious. I had the pasta with shrimp which was also delicious. The staff was sweet and attentive. The owner is down to Earth, kind and accommodated us with a cake and board sign for our friend who was the guest of honor. My party of 5 had a great time. The music was also great. The drinks were good. I had a mango lemon drop which had a good kick and tasted good. I would return and recommend whoever reads this to drop by!“

“I came here last night with my friends after a comedy show to have a drink & celebrate my birthday... the DJ SET ME UP I danced until I was the last one standing.. 💃🏻💃🏻 the staff was so friendly and everyone just vibed in their own way. I'll be back!! ❤️‍🔥“

“Loved the atmosphere and vibe. Only negative is that we went there for lavender martini’s but they have been taken off the menu. My friend was really bummed, she had been looking forward to that cocktail. Needs to be put back on the drink menu!“

“One of the best places!!! In TOP 2 best places in south Brooklyn (as my opinion)“

“The vibe was really nice! When we got there yesterday, the tables were empty, so we didn’t have to wait at all. First off, HUGE thanks to Sofia and Silina for the amazing service everything was just perfect.
The food honestly felt like art. The portions were super generous, so you can easily split each dish between 2–3 people. We ordered the Eden salad, Eden burgers, pasta carbonara, I think filet mignon, mix of fruits, lava cake, and a few drinks.
Everything was fantastic, shoutout to the chef! I don’t know who was working in the kitchen yesterday, but even though he/she were alone, everything came out fast and tasted incredible. No words. Just thank you to all of you!

P.S. Sofia made a great hookah, everyone really enjoyed it. We’re definitely coming back here again.“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING. Accompanied by great for and drinks. The wait staff and hostess are Super Sweet.“

“We chose The View for our anniversary dinner, and it was a fantastic decision. The food quality stood out: the oysters and shrimp were incredibly fresh, and our entrées—the salmon and swordfish—were cooked perfectly and delicious. We also thoroughly enjoyed the beet salad. The entire staff was wonderful, and the complimentary anniversary dessert was such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend this spot for a special occasion.“
