50 Best Bars near New Hyde Park

“After being rudely treated at Your Mother’s House, my friends and I impulsively decided to stop by Angry Gnome to finish watching the Knicks game and celebrate our friend’s birthday, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the bouncer and the owner, Harry, were kind, and accommodating.

I had brought a birthday cake with me and asked Harry if it would be okay to bring it out, and not only did he say yes, but he even helped me cut the cake and pass it around to everyone. That level of kindness and hospitality truly stood out and completely turned our night around.

The vibes here were amazing, everyone in the bar was friendly, and the atmosphere felt genuinely welcoming and fun. Thank you to Harry and the staff for making our friend’s birthday fun. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great wings! Friendly staff!“

“Always a Delicious Meal and Cocktails! Friendly and Attentive service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Today I went to The Clubhouse for the first time. It was a beautiful day so I wanted to go to a restaurant where we could dine outdoors. My spouse, son, and I had four out of four wonderful entrees for brunch and amazing service from Jamie. Jamie was very helpful with the menu choices and her service was impeccable. We enjoyed the food, service, and ambience so much. I highly recommend The Clubhouse and a game of mini golf as well. Thanks a million Jamie!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious food, cooked perfectly! Top notch waitstaff, and wonderful atmosphere! Two thumbs up! Perfect place for a special occasion!“

“Stopped for a cocktail after a day of museums and dumplings and walking, they were perfect. I loved my mule and the milk punch was great too. We got to try a cucumber cocktail as well, so good. Liz was behind the bar, very attentive and helpful and made a solid cocktail! We’ll have to come back to try the food. Get the mule!“

“Excellent coffee shop on Long Island, come for the caffeine and stay for the community. We stopped by my mom’s favorite coffee shop mid-afternoon, because the family was trying to kill me with caffeine deprivation. The oat milk latte was carefully made and smooth and easy to drink. The interior is great, for a brief moment in time you are anywhere in the World with roll up garage doors, fooseball and a clean setting for evening entertainment. I’ll be back next time I’m visiting!“

“Just a great neighborhood pub.“

“Nice place to unwind and enjoy great service from the awesome bartender's Shorn and Linval. Those drinks are amazing very punching. (Rum Punch)“

“The food was absolutely delicious, as were the drinks and the service. We really loved our experience there while visiting our family in Floral Park.“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“We absolutely loved this restaurant! Definitely one of my top choices in the area. The food was farm to table and delicious. The staff were warm, friendly and made you feel right at home. AND the space was to die for! I felt like I was transported back in time but with a modern upgrade. LOVE“

“The Sunday brunch skillet“

“Always the best service and the Burgers are always our first choice. Great time with live music and a terrific meal“

“We were looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat before going to a lecture at the Merrick Public Library. The photos of the food looked fabulous, so we decided to give Bourbon & Brews a try. We were greeted by Will, who rocks, offering happy hour specials and cocktails in a pint glass. Burgers were great, and the nachos were superior. Definitely will be back!“

“The best lasagna I’ve ever had in my life 🩷🩷❤️❤️“

“Love love this French style restaurant!! Very romantic and delicious food!!“

“Great spot, great food, excellent service!“

“Among my fave spots around. The atmosphere is electric and they play every game! Enjoy their all-day happy hour, when you can receive five shots for $25 to $40 (depending on your poison of choice). The food is more typical of a pub, but it's great for a quick bite and priced friendly! Highly recommended their bulgogi quesadilla. Couldn’t gate-keep any longer!!“

“This place is amazing!!!! I went with my grandmarents for dinner and I orderd the Branzino Francese AND IT WAS DELICIOUS! The garlic linguine went beautifully with the lemon wine sauce and was filling too!

The sevice was fantasic as well, the waitress made sure our table was taken care of very well!

And dont even get me started on the ambiance! this is the perfect spot for a date night, family event, or even if your out with your friends!

All and all it is a very chill and fun place to hang out and get some great food! I reccomend it to all!“

“Great vibe and super friendly staff.
I was looking for a good sweet cocktail, and the bartender recommended a hidden menu drink — a sweeter version of an espresso martini. It was absolutely delicious. The small bites were also amazing, especially the persimmon cake. Perfect place to come with friends, hang out, and enjoy a relaxed, cozy night. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been coming to this bar since last year, and it’s always a great experience. The environment is welcoming, relaxed, and fun. The bartenders are very nice, polite, and make you feel right at home.

They also have karaoke nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which are always a blast. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time with great service.“

Food was prepared quickly and tasted fresh and delicious. The atmosphere and the visual effects on the wall makes for a great ambience. Definitely coming back here in the future.“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service & Refreshing Vibes at BLVD!

​If you want to feel genuinely valued from the second you walk in until the moment you leave, BLVD is the place to be. After a frustrating experience at another location on the Strip where we felt like an afterthought, BLVD was a breath of fresh air.

​Here is why this team deserves a solid 5 stars:

​1. Seamless Booking & A Warm Welcome
​Regina (Reservations): I called on short notice, and Regina was absolutely incredible. She provided prompt, efficient service and squeezed us in without making it feel like a burden. She set the tone for the entire night.
​Stephen (Security): The hospitality started right at the door. Stephen was so welcoming and friendly, making us feel safe and genuinely happy to have us there.
​2. Awesome Bar Service
​We decided to sit at the bar, and Pedro completely blew us away.
​Professional & Polite: He is a master of his craft and has the best attitude.
​Attentive: Our glasses were never empty. He frequently checked in on us to ensure we were good, balancing perfect timing without ever being intrusive.
​3. Incredible Food, Drinks, & Energy
​The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, but what really sets this place apart is the vibe. The overall friendly energy from the entire staff was incredibly refreshing.

​The Verdict: Great job, Team BLVD! Thank you for actually valuing your customers and showing us what real hospitality looks like. We will absolutely be back!“

“Paradise Alley… the name speaks for itself! Truly felt like we stumbled into a little slice of heaven on Earth. Came here to celebrate our friend’s birthday and wow… what a night. Truly if heaven had an alley this would be it. Incredible backyard too!“

“The food is incredible!! And so are the drinks 👍Both my husband and myself were stuffed when we left. Jeff had the turkey burger and I had the lobster roll I asked if he wanted to split our meals but he liked his too much lol I had to eat most of the lobster off the top so I could eat it like a sandwich Took the picture after I ate a good portion off the top Mark and his crew are the best! Thank u again ❤️❤️“

“I've been to a lot of establishment in Hempstead but what I love the most about this place is that it's well welcoming and you have a great time and you can have a cocktail and get a meal at the same“

“I absolutely love this place! The food and drinks are AMAZING (Philly cheesesteak Bao Buns are a must, as is the Henny Colada Slushie), the music is on point and the staff is attentive! It’s a guaranteed good time, whether you’re going for a few drinks and good music or to watch a game/fight night. I can’t rave about this place and staff (shout out to the manager Daisy, who is amazing!) enough!!“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“Overall good ambience great staff and great crowd.“

“Great staff, located on the water and nice views of the marina. New indoor stage for live music. Large outdoor patio area. Fun place!!“

“What can I say I wish I had point break down here in Florida. Great food great atmosphere great people I call my family.“

“The Snug and City Island Diner are true local treasures. They’re owned by the same wonderful people and share a kitchen, but each has its own vibe and hours — and together they’re unbeatable.

The fully loaded chili here is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich, hearty, perfectly seasoned, and also shows up in their nachos, which makes them next-level comfort food.

One of my favorite things? They have a secret menu (no longer advertised) with specialty grilled cheese sandwiches and specialty hot dogs — and we absolutely love it. The Tuscan Melt (no onion) is perfection, and the Reuben Dog is unforgettable. With the hot dogs you get two, and you can mix and match styles, which is such a fun and generous touch.

At The Snug, my go-to drink is a black & tan, which pairs perfectly with the cozy, neighborhood pub feel. Over at the diner, my favorite dish is the Corned Beef Hash breakfast — classic, satisfying, and done exactly right.

Beyond the food, what really sets these places apart is the people. Every server is genuinely kind, welcoming, and deeply plugged into the City Island community. You feel like a regular even on your first visit.

Great food, great people, and real local character. City Island wouldn’t be the same without them. 💙🍽️🍺“

“I like that there's something for everyone. I enjoy drinking, listening to music and eating. Some of my friends like to play pool, others like the slot machines and others like to watch the game. I've visited a few times - the manager Ray is friendly and the bartenders are sweet and skilled. I'm mostly a wine drinker but l often order what I see them make for others because they look good. Lol. The drinks also taste good! The food is also good. They seem to have a new menu and the additions are reasonably priced and tasty. I usually order the burgers or chicken wings with fries. But tonight I ordered the whiting fish, shrimp and mac and cheese platter. Yummy.“
