50 Best Cocktail Bars near South Ozone Park

“Food is great, prices very reasonable, best friendly staff ever. You get your money’s worth and meals are satisfying. My favorite is the fried rice.“

“The French onion soup is phenomenal! The instant I tasted the broth I had vivid images of my mom's marinated short ribs. It is a must to try.
I had Wild Mushroom Ravioli which was very light pasta so the taste of the mushrooms came through nicely and the cream sauce that wrapped around the Ravioli was delicate and light. Dessert wow I am lost for words“

“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!“

“Great presentation. Great drinks. Great service. Overall great experience 😎“

“We decided to drop in for a nightcap before returning to the city, eager to sample the highly praised cocktails. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a bit of tardiness, I highly recommend the "Scent of a Woman" cocktail. Although my partner found "Josephine Noir" a bit too sweet.

We also got the tuna tartare to share - the portion was small and it lacked flavors. The item was unexpectedly expensive at $23. We were a bit taken aback by the prices, as they seemed to be comparable to those in Manhattan.“

“Tasty, imaginative cocktails, great atmosphere, nice food.“

“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!“

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

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

“We scored a table late on a Thursday night. The bar is swanky and cute, with great interior design and personal touches like the illustrations on their dishes. We arrived to low-lit restaurant/bar with vibey music and a fresh new menu.

The cocktails were great. The Apollonian was citrusy Smokey punch and the Limoncello Milk Punch felt so special.

The Stracciatella was a delightful surprise, while the Calabrese was a spicy hot wing that made me wanting more. For mains I had the Smashed Meatball Parm which DID NOT disappoint. The fries had great texture and the sandwich was so flavorful it left me wanting more. We topped it off with the delightful Cannolis that was crunched and sweet.“

“Booked it for a private special event. Kira the event manager did a fantastic job organizing everything. She recommended a photographer and Yut the violin player so the event was magic. Thank you❤️“

“Sama Street made me and my tummy happy from start to end. I'm not sure how it's such a hidden gem given the quality and creativity of the food and drinks and all around great vibe.

I showed up shortly after open to a completely empty restaurant, so the bartender, Jamie, suggested some delicious drinks (not that you can go wrong with any of them). Of the few drinks I had, my least favorite (but still solid) was the Jacket Required, which is really just a slightly modified old fashioned. Everything else was incredible - some ingredients seem out there and might might throw you off, but every drink I had was really more than just the sum of its parts.

Food was also great, especially if you're into family style meals. Skewers were cooked to perfection, bok choy wasn't just tossed in some soy sauce, flat noodles were great. The sundae dessert included some of the tastiest and unique ice cream flavors I'd ever had, made in house.

Overall will definitely be back.“

“Cocktail Magique show was a magnificent experience. Very positive, jaw dropping, interactive show that keeps you engaged throughout the 2 hour memorable performance.“

“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.“

“Grateful for a decent Chinese restaurant that is clean and elegantly decorated. Tofu and chicken dish were very good. The beef stew was more of a beef soup and on the oilier side so wasn’t our favourite. Dumplings were pretty good. Would definitely return and recommend.“

“I’m a local Astorian , came upon this place one night with a friend , definitely a chill place and nice atmosphere, staff is friendly ! The owner George is a stand up guy . Also a fellow Astorian . I recommend this place if you wanna a nice relaxed vibe. With good music ! Check it out“

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

The cocktails are only $13. They offer a premium selection of cocktails for only $13. Happy hour is everyday from 5pm - 8pm . The margaritas and old fashions are $6 til 8pm daily.

They aren’t overcharging anyone . Only $5 for NA mocktails . Beer + Shot Combos are $6 ALL DAY. Beer + Shot for HAPPY HOUR IS ONLY $4 !! They’re using the fresh ingredients and welcome you to bring outside food.

“My favorite bar in Brooklyn!
The cocktails are unique and delicious, the vibe is great, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Such a good time hanging out here and the jazz is wonderful and sets up a wonderful atmosphere. Not too loud yet lovely and fun“

“This place is super cute and the drinks are very good!! Went with my sister for a trifecta kinda day and the margs did not disappoint! We didn’t have the food but the people around us ordered some items and it looked and smelled super great!

The place is pretty small as far as like it’s just the front area but they have a bar style table in the middle and tables on both sides. Music was pretty standard we didn’t go on a brunch day so not sure if it’s more turnt but we had a good time! Yes they have Tajin and they can put that on your rim!

We also went back a second time and go to go drinks and they were delicious there’s like over 15 flavors so that makes it super fun!

I didn’t get much videos but I did get a super cool photo! Try it out affordable prices and great drinks!“

“What a nice cozy place. We sat at the bar. It was great. Our bartender was so Attentive, btw. We had the same name. Jane was super friendly. We mostly got appetizers, they got a lot of selection. We got shishito pepper, pumpkin tempura, crispy squid legs, spicy wings, crispy rice spicy tuna and chicken teriyaki. They were so good. We loved everything we got. We will come back for ramen for sure.

Vegetarian options: I saw one Vegetarian ramen. And couple appetizers and Salad“

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.“

“This place had been on my list for a while, so I was so happy to finally get around to checking it out! I met up with some friends for HH and it checked every box and more. From its warm ambiance, to the delicious food aroma, to the lengthy list of cocktails- I will definitely be back to continue to try all the cocktails I couldn’t get to yesterday!“

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“Unique amazing experience every time, get to enjoy unbelievable talent, and the coolest owner and staff“

“If you’re looking to host an event on the Upper East Side, this is the place! I’ve hosted 5 separate events with Sojourn Social and this restaurant did not disappoint. Shawn (the manager) was extremely helpful in planning, accommodating our parties needs, and being present to make sure everything ran smoothly. The food and drinks were excellent, the service was great, and the private space was very intimate. Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Always a great time at Skytown !!!“

“Super great Cocktailbar! And great performances!“

“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 !“

“This bar is the perfect vibe. The first floor is dark and cozy, with some couches and nice little tables, but the real gem is the roof. It’s huge with lots of seating, there’s twinkly lights, and there’s even a bar up there for ordering. 10/10 love it so much.“

“it's ok. a little prentencious“

“Un ambiente super divertido y familiar 🗽🍾🇺🇸🎆“

“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.“

“Great place. Definitely must come back again.“

“One of the loveliest, friendliest and most special bars (and places) in all of New York! The team at Blinky‘s was kind enough to let us host our wedding celebration there and they could not have made it more amazing. Every member of the staff, led by the amazing Rhoades, was courteous and professional, even with a large wedding group. The drinks were amazing, the space was perfectly clean and had great vibes (including both a spacious indoor area and a huge backyard) and they were flexible with all our special requests, including pizza delivery, a DJ, charcuterie, and an ice cream truck. I know that it’s an amazing spot for a casual night too, but for a big event it could not have been more phenomenal. Blinky’s forever!! Thank you for being such a fun and special neighborhood spot.“

“An absolute must! Such a tucked away gem. I Came in on a whim for dinner on my own, and was lucky enough to grab the only seat available at the bar. The host and manager were incredibly accommodating.

I started with the Broccolini Borani, which was absolutely fantastic. I had it with the Komaj bread, a pair I highly recommend. The citrus date and cabbage salad was also beyond unique. The dates are served warm, and the combination of ingredients makes for a start that beautifully combines what we think of as a salad, with everything we look for in a comfort food. Please Get this!
I also had the grilled Ahi tuna. The eclectic use of mint, pomegranate, walnuts, and chili oil made this dish as beautiful as it was superb (be sure to get this too)

I opted for the octopus kebab as my entree, which was perfectly tender and served with a delicious pepper tahini and pickled cucumbers. It has a little kick to it, which I loved, and served as the perfect finish.

Don’t skip on dessert. The saffron Ice cream sandwich was everything I saw depicted online and more, but the couple next to me enjoyed the rose cake, and the reviews sounded incredible as well. So be sure to leave room for either one.

The service was above and beyond from start to finish. The bartenders were also incredibly welcoming and walked me through the menu and their recommendations step by step.
On that note, definitely get the Saffron Martini!

This place is 10/10 will definitely be back.“
