It is the finest beer selection in Queens. Take your time, plan to come back (because you cannot sample as many beers as they have on tap), and revel in the best beer provider around. Pure excellence!
25+ beers on tap and a more interesting menu than your average pub. Roll that with a great staff and you have my favorite neighborhood spot, hands down! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Himanshu GuptaSeptember 12, 2020Not sure why this place has such low rating. I think their huevos rancheros are the best I have ever had so far. Great fresh juices as well. Highly recommend checking it out!
By far the best beer bar in queens. Good food, 25 beers on draft that are always changing, and friendly staff. Also, different themes/events each night of the week. A must visit in Astoria.
Brew YorkApril 23, 2012An Astoria favorite for craft beer, Sunswick has an incredibly helpful staff and an encyclopedic food menu. Not sure which of their 35 rotating beers to order? Just ask!
Jereme BivinsMarch 22, 2013Short and sweet: fantastic beer menu (easily the best in the neighborhood) and surprisingly great food. If you're in the neighborhood, it's a great place to go all-around.
This place has really become my favorite local bar, good food, good music and good people's. Only place since ive been in NYC that serves sweet potato fries AND has chipotle mayo. Cheers
Steve LeVineFebruary 5, 2023Nice pub with great tap selections. The burger is big, thick and juicy- and tasty.- NYC Trivia LeagueMarch 14, 2014Craft beer bar offering Wednesday night trivia starting at 8pm. Prizes for the top teams.

The Sunswick Signature Burger is a hot mess in the best way. You're gonna need napkins. The fresh cut fries are more like chips, FYI.
I've been coming here for a few years now and they have the best beer selection I've seen in a long time. The eggs benedict is tasty and the prices are a steal. Jeff is an awesome bartender!
Eric TashJune 23, 2017A respite from hectic city life, a place to unwind while experiencing a large beer selection and to simply enjoy each moment.
An incredible selection of constantly changing craft beers. The descriptions are SPOT on so use the menu as your bible, or loosen your lips and talk to the very friendly bartenders for recommendations
Tarnima SabedFebruary 24, 2017Thursday night Karaokes!! are the best - we had so much fun. most unexpected and random. Also they have trivia on Wednesday nights.
Some rad beers for fair prices. Check the Digital Pour screen for tap updates & beer info.
been going here on and off about 9 years—I always get the 'extra hot' wings. these are the best wings in Astoria. get them.
Wednesday trivia at 8pm (get there early to grab a spot). Great beer and cider selection.
Great beer selection. Constant rotation of taps. The food is good too. My favorite wings in Astoria.
Will CutroneJanuary 1, 2015Sliders and waffle fries were solid pub fare. Beer selection is very strong, and the primary focus of the establishment. It's a "real" bar; wasn't constructed recently to look "authentic".
Honestly, this may be one of the best bars in Astoria. Has a rotating bar of 24 beers and great food.
Excellent beer selection. Plus, they have bingo on Thursdays where you can win beer.
Rachel IvyApril 15, 2017Amazing selection and the food portions are gigantic. Generally not crowded since it's off the beaten path.
october fest is the best time to come, the smoked trout salad is awesome. it's also close enough to grab a quick beer before the movies.
Le LoFebruary 27, 2019Huevos Rancheros are pretty good; not super authentic. They are light on the beans. It’s quite drafty inside. However they serve tamales!
Tom DiMaggioDecember 20, 2013There's an excellent beer selection here, very original flavors. Know this about their happy hour, though: it's only $1 off $6 beers.
The nachos are quality, as are the wings. Standard pub fare. The beer selection is truly great, however.
Joanna GarciaMay 13, 2016Definitely get the waffle fries and Mexican corn! Super chill, cute place with great food, music and beer.
Great selection of beers, great music, what else can you ask for?
Mark BurnellAugust 11, 201318 rotating taps. Good bar food. Well worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood, wouldn't make a special trip here
Tip well! I have been coming here for years and have seen many incarnations of the staff. This place makes a habit of hiring very chill fun people!
Molly PrunkaMarch 21, 2015The bartender Chelsea and the grilled cheese sandwich here are both tied for the best things in my life.
Ahi tuna burger is DELICIOUS. Also the pear mango slaw! <3
alex laneMay 20, 201023 (24?) rotating microbrews on tap, big TVs for games, REALLY REALLY good food, good atmosphere, and the owner Juan is super tight with the locals. love it :)
Sinking Ship RecordsAugust 18, 2011You know we like that it's a Pittsburgh bar on Sunday's. Go Steelers! See if you can coax 4 or 5 sample tastings from the bartender (but tip well!)
The wings were great, and this is coming from a Buffalonian
One of the few places you can snag a Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Some of the best times I've ever had in Astoria have been here.
Tara Lannen-StantonFebruary 8, 2010The wings are really good here as are most sandwiches. They've got a lot of great craft beers on tap, just tell the bartender(s) what you like & they'll find a good pick for you.
Nora GomezFebruary 23, 2012Delicious beverage and their food is pretty yummy. If you're lucky, you'll catch a small live band play.
Ben GaspariniAugust 16, 2016This bar has a delightful selection of beers. It's like pony bar but cheaper.
Guy FlushingDecember 30, 2016If ordering the burger, get it medium rare, and it'll probably come out medium. I ordered mine medium and it came out well done.
Genesis MOctober 5, 2013Went in late afternoon. The bar was dead, and the bartender let my friend and I basically sample all the tap beers.
Katchlin ByrnesSeptember 22, 2010Second time here, first time being served (walked out after 15min). Great beers but only 19 of 25 are running, why can't they just tap a new keg when one kicks? However, best beer selection in Astoria- Katchlin ByrnesAugust 14, 2010Just went here for the first time, love good beer and was looking forward to the experience. 1/2 the draft lines were kicked n sat there for 15min n the bartender didnt even acknowledge our presence.
