    Easily my favorite spot in Astoria. Drink specials everyday, in addition to their amazing happy hour, 2for1 specialty cocktails. This place makes me feel like I have a drinking problem. In a good way.

    craft cocktails sound a little odd but taste absolutely delicious!!! if your taste buds are not so adventurous and like fruity drinks, jealous bitch is really good.

    Amazing staff, great happy hour (2 for 1 pitchers of delicious sangria!) and terrific food. I love this place!

    I like to awkwardly order the drinks whilst looking over my shoulder nervously because I'm weird like that. (the names are funny, folks. Have fun with it.)

    Just became my favorite place in Astoria. Amazing drink specials and Jeff the bartender huddles his ass off while being incredibly nice. Magic!

    This place is really chill and the drinks are strong. Make sure you get to know Beto, the owner. He will introduce you to EVERYONE. Get the doggy style hot dogs - really.

    Lounge on a comfy couch, sipping 2-for-1 drinks during happy hour--every day 5-8 pm. Can't beat that!

    So the drinks are interesting. If you're a human don't order the Male person of the jealous bitch. It sucks. Came on a Thursday. It's amateur hour. Pedro is a cool guy though. Bring a date here.

    Great bar. Any bad tip on here is from some self-entitled dbag. Go here to have fun and you will. That is if your not also a dbag.

    This place has great potential. Great music but the waitresses suck. You have to go to the bar and get ur own drinks before they come to ur table. Music needs to be better.

    Check their website for weekday specials. Retro Mondays are great with fun music and $5 martinis 8 - close.

    I love this place, but I've heard of people who will never come back due to rude servers and bar tenders...
