Starting to sense the trend in Williamsburg-esque bars but hey, beats the crap out of Canz. This place is warm and cozy on winter nights and the cocktails are top notch. Get dat Purple Drank!- Get these: Chickpea fries, potato gratin, burger, oysters, cheese plate, charcuterie board, and the desert pudding with cinnamon and Graham crackers. Ask for Tim. He's awesome.
Came back to Front Toward Enemy after about a year hiatus. Flatbread appetizer was delicious, though we will forever miss chickpea fries. Veggie burger also good.
ᴡ KrishnanSeptember 21, 2014Great ambiance with low lighting, plush leather seating and a large space.. Extremely friendly staff and very good service.. Very good drinks..
Deepak ShrivastavaMay 7, 2014Converted sports bar into hipster / daytime drinking waterhole -- perfect for weekend brunches. Great addition to the LIC-Astoria scene!
Sharon VMarch 15, 2014The banana bread and butter pudding is so good! The cocktails are all well crafted, & they definitely sneak up on you.
Christopher LebronMarch 31, 2014The M18 is no joke, and the Spiked Whiskey is amazing: smoky, a little sweet, gentle balance. Also, the servers were all very attentive.
Daniel DelgadoJanuary 26, 2015The lamb chops here are amazing. I also love the design here. Great place for a night out with friends.
Matthew F.April 27, 2014Staff was very friendly and attentive. The duck and beans with sourdough bread and maple butter was very good.
This place has definitely changed. No longer about high end cocktails, still decent as a pub with a nice staff but not the same vibe
- What the hell happened to this place??? It just transformed into this ordinary lame bar! I sense a shutter within the next few months...
they put a sign outside that says 'bar' as if 'front toward enemy' wasn't clear
