32 Best Dive Bars near Queens

“great place to have some good company.“

“We came all the way from Minnesota and ended up at The Shannon Pot, and we couldn’t be happier that we did. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome—friendly, warm, and happy to have us there.

A special shoutout to the bartender, Asad, who truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. His service was outstanding and made the night even better.

Great atmosphere, great people, and an unforgettable stop on our New York trip. We can’t recommend this place enough and would absolutely come back again!“

“Friendly staff and bartender. Good drink selection. I don’t even like bars or drinking but this place was cozy. The food was surprisingly really good given that it’s a bar. I got the burger which was juicy and the fries were crispy and hot; chicken bacon sandwich which was amazing. They also did a bingo night which was fun.“

“Un buen lugar para tomarse unos tragos y disfrutar, un ambiente tranquilo , excelente atención“

“Lovely staff and great atmosphere“

“A lovely tavern with jovial staff and delightful libations. The handsome and sweet bartender with interesting hair masterfully guided my wife and I through the extensive drink menu and delivered me to a few tasty cocktails. Cool and quirky atmosphere. I love this bar.“

“If I can remember, I always come here every friday night. Which is karaoke night. So, my review will be based on that specific night only.

Been there few times on friday night. Very busy night, very long line of karaoke, but the DJ did a veryyy good job. He remembers people's faces, like literally remember who requested what. His great memory amazed me and not to mention there is no pause or break. So, eventho its a long line of karaoke, but you will eventually singing.

Bartenders are great, drinks okay. Prices normal for the area, drink sometimes good, sometimes meh.

But yea, so far its been pretty amazing experience.“

“great ambiance, lots of different beers. highly recommend.“

“Cool neighborhood bar. This is a very spacious bar. They have a pool table and some games. The service is good. The prices are great. It's a laid back atmosphere. You can order food in the back. I didn't try the food so I can't rate it. Maybe next time I go I'll try it.“

“Very nice staff inside, drinks were good. I am down for a pat down and appreciate safety, but I arrived at at 8pm and during the very lengthy and thorough pat down the bouncer kept asking if I'd been bar hopping and that if I'm intoxicated I can't go in...which also fair, but I'm in my forties, it was 8pm, and I was entirely sober. Respect taking a job serious, but I felt oddly unwelcome and it set a tone for us that the kind inside staff didn't quite undo. I would be hesitant to bring a guest here again.“

“I really like this bar. It's divey, lowkey, got the best bartenders, and always has incredible music. Drinks are a great price and the back patio is huge. It's lined with booths inside and I love that there's a photo booth. Always a good time here.“

“Great local joint Recommend if you want to do shots and watch the game“

“Great dive bar with a pool table and 2 dart boards and great music

Wheelchair accessibility: You can wheel right in don’t have to worry about any stairs the bathroom is tight might struggle a little but overall the place has plenty of room to move around“

“Go-to neighborhood spot that stays until relatively late.
6 stars for service and specifically Paolo- always polite, smiling and great service
-2 stars for the bouncers: poor attitude, rude with the illusion that they have authority. It would be great if they can get real; ID reading barely makes them different that the rest of us - haha
5 stars for the beer: great draft and bottled variety
5 stars for the music!

Overall 4 stars, just because the bouncers kill the vibe.“

“The owner of the bar Kathryn could not have been anymore welcoming. After a long day of work, I came here to just get a drink and leave. Kathryn escorted myself and my party to a seat after I had thought it was packed. She closed the doors to the bathroom to make it more comfortable (even though the bathrooms were very nice and clean!) and then moved us to a better seat when some opened. A regular at the bar who owned a restaurant cooked food for the bar and it was free to everybody as it was his brother's birthday. The food was delicious! The bartenders were absolutely great too, making sure the drinks had more than enough alchohol in them and they were cheap. Great spot to stumble upon, even better experience!!“

“Had a great time hanging at 101 for the 7 year anniversary. The skate videos were top tier, the bevvies were flowing, and the dj was killing it all night from a range of old school to current music playing all night until the party got too big and we all had to leave!“

“Definitely a fun bar to hang out in and the staff was very personable. The drinks were decently priced and there were plenty of places to sit and space out between groups. The only drawback is the overly loud music at some points which can make conversation difficult.“

“The best dive bar in Sunny side hands down !!, they treat you like family and the locals are fun to interact with . .. ahh they also have a lovely back yard and POOL table …🤟🏻“

“"Jimmy's Dart Inn" and I think Jimmy was the old guy there at the end of the bar. We (wife & I) stopped in at noon is. We were swept up in a time machine and arrived here. Décor could use an update. Bar stools were all swivel and every one of the many we tried was wobbly. Bartender made a crummy vodka sour for my wife, but then she thinks every one makes crappy vodka sours. A bit of a dive, we like it. Also, TWO dart boards (The Dart Inn, get it?)“

“I’ve been there several times over the years and I’ve always have had good experiences. It’s got a mild dive bar vibe. They have good beer and drinks. The bartenders that have served me there have been polite and attentive. I only go there once every couple of months or so, but I’m not a regular. The bar isn’t sleek or beautiful. Lone Wolf is just a really good bar.“

“This was one of the most hospitable bars I've ever been to. Summer the bartender was so sweet and accommodating. We had a great time and will definitely be back because of the very welcoming atmosphere. This is a great neighborhood bar of you live close by give it a shot.“

“Love BHT:)...and the best corned beef and cabbage ever...“

“The lost art of the neighborhood bar. A NYC institution. Great juke box, proper pool table, cash only. Everyone knows everyone. Under the LIRR, so Mets games are 10 minutes out. This is the perfect local, and you'll probably find me here if you wander in.“

“I love this place! Everyone is super friendly and they have a huge vegan menu which is AMAZING. I was there tonight and these two guys came in to try and get the bartenders attention but she was busy with a customer, they were super rude but she kept her composure and was still kind to them regardless. Top tier. Will come back forever 💕“

“O'hanlons pub is a feel good neighborhood bar that has felt like home and given me many warm memories.“

“We found Kelly’s with a tip from Sonja’s brother. Totally enjoyed the “Kelly’s scene for the next few years . Drank with the finest people NY has to offer. Memories of Stella flood my mind. God rest her soul. Shout out to Grover, Vivian Jimmy Jam, my girl friend Mary. We all miss Rita. Chris a Steve, yall need to call us. Mahlon & Karen.“

“A great, cozy neighborhood bar. No frills, no food but they let you take in outside food and there's no shortage of options nearby. Usually a mix of folks of varied ages. I've gone in several times over the years and there are always nice staff working behind the bar. A handy spot to stop in for a pint when you get off the train at Roosevelt Ave and nature calls 😂“

“The staff here is super friendly. I’m not a total regular and don’t know much about cocktails, but I’m always welcomed when I come and they already know my favorite drink.

Such a cool spot—you can even bring outside food in since they don't have a kitchen. They’ll even bring you a plate and silverware without you even asking! It’s a rare find with such a chill, neighborhood vibe. I’ll definitely be back“

“Great atmosphere and people“

“At This Point, I Guess You Can Say I Am A Regular At The Establishment. I Began Going To Cheap Shots Last Year. First Time I Went Was For My Birthday. My Birthday Is February 25th, But I Went On The 24th. And I Thoroughly Enjoyed Myself. Lets Just Say I've Been Frequenting There Ever Since, And I Even Spent My Birthday There Again This Year. They Have Great Food Options, Esthetically Pleasing Decor, Its A Spacious Venue With Ample Seating, A Pool Table, A Backyard With Seating, A Jukebox But They Also Have A DJ On Some Nights. Each Day Of The Week Is Themed And They Offer Special Depending On The Theme. Very Friendly And Amazing Staff That Makes You Feel Like You Are Supposed To Be There. Oh And Most Importantly They Make Some Amazing Drinks!! The Make Standard Drinks But They Also Have A Menu Full On Wittingly Named Shots Bombs And Drinks That You Can Choose From.“

“Cute lil tiki bar! Try the spicy 🌶 mango 🥭 or the gay juice cocktail🥤!!! There is awesome choonz bumpin as well !!“
