50 Best Cocktail Bars in Queens

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“a speakeasy-kinda spot hidden inside a Taiwanese restaurant! i've bookmarked this place for awhile and finally got to try it recently.

the place had great ambience and they played a lot of Jolin Tsai and Jay Chou while i was there. the menu is fun in that the drinks are named after classic CPop songs. i got the "most familiar stranger" (because, shoutouts to Elva Hsiao!!!) and my companion tried "a smoking poet". my drink was complex and well balanced, the soy milk + soy sauce maple foam was DELICIOUS. it reminded me of the cream foam top in bobas. we also tried the sweet potato fries and plum powder and that was good too.

overall, it was a well-executed concept and i had a great time. i'd love to come back!“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Great Hotel and location. Very nice and knowledgeable staff. Thank you!“

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

“Wonderful Italian restaurant near the water in Long Island City. Definitely recommend setting a reservation as this place does fill up. The restaurant staff show great professionalism They were warm, attentive, and welcoming, providing prompt service. The cocktails were strong but both tasty and refreshing. From the pizza to the tartare to the pasta, everything was freshly prepared and full of flavor. It’s literally nothing like authentic, freshly prepared pasta and they nailed it. Definitely high on my list of top Italian spots I have experienced.“

“la comida deliciosa y la atencionmiy buena“

“The absolute best. A warm hug! Great hospitality day in day out. Accommodating front of the house. Excellent servers. Bartenders are pros. The best managers. One of my favorite places to sit in New York period (and I’ve eaten up and down and around these parts). Fun too! Awesome spot for raw bar (oysters, jumbo shrimp), chips and dip, and the new flatbread. Prime rib night is a winner and the burger goes down as tops. Love you Margie’s - don’t ever change ♥️“

“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!“

“Wednesday night’s jam session is the best around. The quality of the musicians who stop by and play a couple of tunes is first class!“

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

“I love this place! I’ve told all my friends about it. The music is 10/10. Drinks are 10/10. Service 10/10. I had such a GREAT time. My man and I literally danced all night. The manager gave us shots because it was our birthday. So sweet!

Food is 4/10. They don’t have much on the food menu so I recommend eating beforehand and enjoying their cocktails cause they’re bomb!

The vibe is so open & free people just want to have a good time! And the aesthetic is so cute. Can’t wait to visit again!“

“How nice it is when you get to a bar and after 5 minutes you feel content and familiar to the place and then simply think “ahh, what a good bar”. Happy to discover it, staff were fantastic, looking forward to coming back. One of the better ones for sure“

“Decided to treat myself to dinner and went to check out this place. Came in during a dinner rush and was seated right away. A nice dark atmosphere. I ordered the NY strip steak and I gotta say it was amazing. Cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth. Cooked like a real steak a perfect medium rare. So good on its own and didn't any sauce but it came with a delicious arbol chilli salsa. Great service with friendly staff. I can't wait to come back and try the lamb tacos amongst other things. I highly recommend a lovely dinner here“

“If you’re craving Chinese food, it hits the spot. I don’t think anything was standout but the portions are big because it’s family style. The dan dan noodles could have more meat in comparison to the amount of noodles it had. Some of the other dishes felt doused in a bit too much sauce. What was nice is you can ask to adjust the spice level for the food. Price seems about right and food came out really fast.

Went on a Thursday night and there was plenty of seating with no wait.“

“04/24/25
Drinks are amazing, atmosphere is great. A last word from last word is always good, had the El Nido this time and the jalapeño is fire, Pistachio Espresso Martini also hits on the complete other end of the spectrum. We’ve had the oysters in the past as well and they slap.“

“Amazing experience! We found this speakeasy and is a hidden gem! The ambiance is enchanting, the food is very delicious and the drink are fantastic! Specially the martinis. Our waiter was Maria, she was outstanding , super friendly and accommodating. A must visit for a memorable night out! Ask for Maria if you have a chance!“

“Amazingly romantic vibe…..fantastic food and ambience. Service was 5 stars.“

“I came for a karaoke night. The bartender was nice even while being busy. The karaoke hosts were awesome. Good vibes talented singers but no pressure for those who don’t necessarily sing. I planned on staying an hour but ended up staying almost the entire night. The song selection was great as well.

The upstairs ambience is very nice as well.“

“Food was phenomenal, loved everything, one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at“

“The small plates and the desserts are fantastic.“

“AMAZING wine bar ! Must check it out!!“

“Adrienne’s is the BEST restaurant around by far - I even prefer it over many great dining spots in Manhattan. Atmosphere… service… food… cocktails… I truly cannot say enough good things.
The bar tenders are consistently excellent (especially Christine inside and Chris M. outside).
The oysters are the best I’ve ever had and they rotate the selection practically everyday (ask for their house-made hot sauce with them for an added bonus).
Can’t go wrong with any dish on the food menu.
This place knows how to handle a crowd with ease!!! Always best vibes here.“

“Great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night. Delicious and inventive food and cocktails. The cocktails are soju based. We came for the a la carte menu and the standout dishes for us were the longgonisa, the momo, the trout, and number one was the pork belly. The rice it comes with is insanely good; I think you can order just the rice as a side. Get the rice and thank me later. Will definitely be returning for the tasting menu“

“Best Italian in Astoria. Best Pizza in Astoria. Best Pasta in Astoria.
My wife and I adore this spot. The owner and staff are the sweetest folks around. The ingredients are so purposeful and the attention to detail is magnificent. Surrounded by a team that truly celebrates its cuisine and service. We always leave smiling.
Hot Tip: order the Purple Rain cocktail.“

“Delicious, well executed dishes. Had the cilantro beef stir fry (ordered extra spicy - and it was! 🤗), and the black mountain ramen - both were excellent. You self order at the kiosk, which worked great, and the food came out promptly. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food and drinks 😎“

“Delicious food and drinks! Friendly host/server. Highly recommend the fish curry and chana masala. We also had a couple of the bar bites (okra, chile paneer, cauliflower - all delicious). Small place with cute bar seating and a nice outdoor patio. Easy for takeout as well.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food, beautiful decor, sophisticated chic ambiance, mood lighting, friendly service, and live Salsa music on Thursdays.

What's not to love?!

Reccos: their mocktails and specialty drinks; corn ribs; enchiladas, chicken, and fish entrees. So far we've loved everything we've tried.

Please let the staff know of any allergies and they will assist accordingly.“

“I never knew there was such a cool bar on Roosevelt Ave of all places! I live further east of here in Queens so now I do not have to go all the way to Astoria. The owner Lee is super cool and so are the other patrons. I ended up chatting with strangers and we all had a great time“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Great staff! Lots of options to choose from and elderly and kid friendly!“

“Contacted the Queens Room for a party of 15 the day before a memorial at St. Michael's and the owner, Antonia hooked us up. The service was on point and the food was delicious. She suggested pre-ordering appetizers for our guests which came out promptly after our drink orders were in. Antonia made herself available via email and phone just in case we had a change in plans which was comforting on a day that was difficult. We had a vegan, vegetarian and a gluten free guest and there were filling options for all of them. I highly recommend The Queens Room for the service and food. This will be my family go to from now on.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian all had options and delicious food.

Kid-friendliness: We had a four year old and a 2 year old and we were given a high chair and the kids enjoyed their meals.“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

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

“Buena música! buena comida y bebidas!“

“Very nice well deinks, amazing service and the food was good“

“A very beautiful space with cozy sofas, interior and light. The food wasn’t something crazy about: we took potatoes, parsnip soup, and tiramisu latte, they were okay. The place by itself was a little bit dirty on the floor, and some details, as a server that didn’t know that tiramisu includes alcohol in a recipe, and the fact that the same coffee was served in different cups, brought a feeling of mess, however I want to come back for lazy mornings atmosphere.
We parked right near the main entrance, however it’s under construction zone now.“

“I was visiting family and we came to this restaurant, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The overall atmosphere was comfortable yet classy. Our food was prepared and displayed perfectly and the portion sizes were just right. The owner even came over and talked to us to make sure that we were happy and that we were enjoying ourselves. Definitely would come back, I highly recommend Porta 23.“

“Had an amazing time. The staff were super nice. Would definitely recommend and go back.“

“Winf here recently with friends, thought we’d give it a try. Cute little place with a nice menu and good drink selections. Tacos were absolutely delicious as were the guacamole and chips and the brussels sprouts out of this world. Definitely going back yo this place another try to try some more selections !“

“If you're searching for the best martini in Queens, look no further than The Beast Next Door. This cozy, dimly lit bar delivers a perfectly crafted martini every time—smooth, balanced, and just the right amount of bite. Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere is effortlessly cool, making it a great spot for a date night or catching up with friends.“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“I love everything about Diamond Dogs and everyone there except for Pat!!! 😭😭😭 i dont know why they put Pat on for weekends now, when Pat gives rude and snarky service, preferential treatment to their friends, and generally has an unpleasant attitude and is always ready to try to make you feel like you’re stupid and annoying for wanting to come to the bar. Pat likes to act like patrons are all immediately stupid and drunk nuisances. Every other bartender has is great/normal and treats patrons with respect and kindness. I tried to avoid DD if I could spot Pat working there, but it’s difficult since they’ve been on weekends there now.“

“This place is a whole vibe!!! The drinks, food, and staff are all top tier. I came here for a bday dinner and came back 3 times within 2 weeks. Our waitress Stephanie was amazing. She took some very cinematic videos and awesome pics for us. She’s def the host that does the most lol. The berry smash is my go to!!“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“I have eaten there many times and have always been happy with the food. The staff is very helpful and the restaurant is very relaxing .“

“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. 😊💕“

“great food, great service.“
