seems they've dropped the food prices slightly. you can keep your bill reasonable. love this spot—one of the few newish additions to the hood that actually feels authentic.
@AstoriaHaikuOctober 27, 2013The people that complain about pricing are precisely the people I'm trying to avoid when I go out once or twice a month. Atmosphere is wonderful, food was delicious, staff was attentive & friendly, A+
Get a Mar's Manhattan. Why? 30+ years of cocktail experience, that's why. This isn't a place for bros on spring break, so bring money and enjoy the atmosphere.
Beautiful spot with an exceptional vibe. This is the place if seafood is your thing. Great cocktails too! Good service. Very hidden which is what I love about it.
A great place for oysters and cocktails. Happy hour specials depending on the day of the week. Chill environment with attentive service.
Gajtana SimonovskaAugust 24, 2013Elegant, farm to table-y place. Nice happy hour pricing and decent wine. Excellent charcuterie and fromage plate, and Edith Piaf playing in the background. Mais oui!
Norman EllisSeptember 2, 2014The bartenders know their way around a cocktail. Trust their advice. The fried oysters make a great opening act.
The best steak tartare for my money. Definitely a must. Great rotating cocktails as well. My wife and I's favorite place for an after work happy hour drink.
Pedro Paulo BastosJanuary 11, 2015The Lemon Burger is one of my highest recommendations, but I think they only serve it during Brunch time. Quiet, silent place with friendly staff.
Rebecca PineiroFebruary 18, 2017Good fresh oysters, wonderful fish and seafood and beautiful ambiance. Great service. Avoid disappointment tip: no lobster in the lobster soup which is a bit misleading.
Dan is a great bartender and makes the best Manhattans. This is my all-time favorite cocktail bar.
LaurenJanuary 5, 2014The octupus app is by far the best tasting octopus I have ever had! Love the oyster selection and the shrimp cocktail in a pint glass is A+
OJune 12, 2022The service is outstanding, amazing and creative cocktails, and great food! Ambiance very relaxed and friendly
Erika PerziNovember 7, 2019natural biodynamic wines only which is amazing. great oyster selection. lovely space. happy hour too.
Lovely neighborhood spot. Oysters and lemon burger: yum. The pancakes, too! Good cocktails and a great michelada.
Mike AnzAugust 16, 2013Staff is great and the food is amazing. Oysters and (especially) the octopus stole the show. Great cocktails and beers to boot!- The Rocky Point oysters served at Mar's are in my top 3 preferred anywhere in New York, definitely in Astoria.
Best oysters in Astoria. A hidden gem for a civilized brunch. Get the chicken fried steak.
A great happy hour and an excellent staff. Always willing to give recommendations and chat.
Great cocktails and oyster happy hour. Beautiful unique interior
- jamie mccullaghOctober 26, 2015Perfect for a special night out or low key oyster happy hour. Beautiful cocktails.
Jennifer SeelinJuly 19, 2013Looking forward to it being named one of the top Astoria cocktails bars! (Because it will be!). Stick to east coast oysters vs west.- Nothing like rosé and oysters on their patio. That beef tartare is pretty solid too.
Kathy TuznikMarch 10, 2015Very casual and the staff is so friendly. The Sunday oyster happy hour is great.- cybele grandjeanJanuary 19, 2015Oysters, lemon burger, octopus, calamari, clam chowder, kale salad, mussels, wine
Great place with an upmarket feel to it. Adds a level of finesse to Astoria's bouquet of great food..
David GuerrieriOctober 9, 2016Great for after dinner cocktails. Love the rustic old time atmosphere.
Kai Fierle-HedrickFebruary 17, 2014The Leather & Lace, or the Negrosecco, are highly recommended as lighter cocktails to end your night.
Chris ConroyNovember 17, 2013This place is FOR REAL. Orchard cocktail, lamb sausage, Cornish hen, short ribs: all spectacular.
Jessica NacinovichAugust 21, 2013Nice new spot. Oysters cocktails nice draught selection and old timey charm.
Amazing oysters, wine and cocktails. Don't like any of those? Get away from me.
Great happy hour for beer, wine and oysters. Food is way overpriced for the area.- Happy hour oysters and cocktails always sure to please.
Paul the bartender is AMAZING! Try his sidecar and bloody mary! You won't be disappointed!
Amazing place! Great food and drinks! 10 out of 10
- Ericka CDecember 15, 2013Dollar oyster happy hour. When we went it was just the Blue Point oysters on sale for $1, but maybe it changes?
Excellent moules frites. Definitely the best in the neighborhood.
Great bar, and the neighborhood's best shucked oysters.
