Great neighborhood place! Cocktails are amazing with a very knowledgable staff! And did I mention they carve their own ice...my new spot in my hood.
Very promising. Beer selection covers all the bases , food selection small but good (lamb nachis and an excellent burger). A hint of Irish without being a "Irush bar".

Very inviting space and staff! Delicious coffee and pastries, and local beer on tap! Rarely do I see Blue Mountain pour over, but they have it here.
Great food and knowledgeable bartenders. If you sit at the bar, there are hooks and electrical plugs under bar- hang your coat and charge your phone all while enjoying a cocktail.
Grab a flatbread and an IPA. You're about to experience the magic of LICs newest bar.

This is the sister to the greatest place in Astoria. Very happy to see the success and expansion of Astoria Bier & Cheese. Cheers!
Laid back bar with rotating surf-art shows for the public, and board storage/showers for monthly members. Brandon & Brady are wizards with a welder and have built a totally unique space. Great vibe.
Waterfront, picnic tables, a couple of grills, and bottles of beers? Um, yes please! Awesome summer hang in LIC.
Personally, it's a refinement of local favorite, Sweet Afton. Two bars means less clutter and the cocktails are still top notch. Also a plus, extra restrooms and spacious interiors. Good job guys!
New favorite spot and boy did Broadway need it. The staff is fantastic, excellent drink selection AND watch out....they have a shot & beer special!
Local gem in Kew Gardens with amazing cocktails. The bartenders were great! Super friendly and told us a lot about their art. Also they have a patio -- can't wait to go in the summer.

Welcomed addition to the neighborhood, really nice staff and great beer selection. Wish the friday happy hour went till 8 though
Amazing outdoor space that feels like a backyard. V low-key and relaxed space to grab some beers (Porkslap is a personal fave) and great food.
Don't dick around here. This place is too good. Get the burn ends (if they still have any left that day) and a pint of the Devil's Dancer IPA (12% ABV). You will not find better BBQ in NYC.

I really enjoyed the place, the ambiance, the tunes, the waitress, the beers. Food portions are small but be honest, you come here to drink.
Nice cocktails. Don't go super hungry. Good cheese/meat plates, but you may want to make dinner plans after you enjoy the libations. Ambiance is very cool. Good hang out vibe.
