I can't say enough what everyone before me has already said...however, they have all failed 2 mention 1 yet very important 'Mad Donkey' detail, and that detail is Brian..pickles or no pickles, legend!

Best bar n Astoria hands down!!!!! Awesome bartenders and the beautiful ladies that wait on you are the best!!!! All in all if your not hanging here you don't know your neighborhood :)

Wings aren't "the best" as some have said. The medium is a mix of BBQ and buffalo. Not the best deal either - $9.50 for 8 wings. Pretty expensive compared to say Croxley's Ale House @ $0.20 per.

The whole place is decorated super awesome. Make sure you look up at the ceiling. The drinks are good and great place to watch games.

One of my favorite bars to go to in Astoria! Bartenders rock. Great atmosphere, great food. Simply put...lots of fun!

A great spot to just unwind have some peanuts and drink a few beers. They have an awesome Super Bowl special involving unlimited wings and beer from kickoff to the end of the game.
Melody GambinoNovember 13, 2014
Great prices on beer, you can watch the game, charge your phone and eat alot of free peanuts

Dont go here or you'll have a nice snack, talk to cool people, relax, and have a good time in spite of yourself

Respectable draft list though a little expensive for the location - most are about $7. Happy hour is $1 off drafts.
Tristan WhiteMay 28, 2013
Happy hour is the best time to get their wings. $3 for 12 compared to $9 off happy hour.

This place is possibly one of the top bars in Astoria. It's diverse, friendly, and comfortable. MJ rocks.

I miss this bar and I miss Paddy! Get the wings, tacos and drunken cherries for sure!

A bar with actual bar peanuts. It's a delight. Throw the shells on the floor, grab a cold beer, and tip well.
Stan BorbatAugust 15, 2012
Try a Guinness and 30 cent wings on a Tuesday. Flavored wings come drenched and saucy, if you like them dry ask for bare wings.

1) MJ, the bartender on Tues. and Wed. is THE definition of a New York bartender. 2) Ask for a pickle back. MJ had this shot locked down 3 1/2 years ago!

Don't bother doing car bombs here. They serve the shot in a plastic cup which doesn't sink into the glass of stout. Not a good experience.
