Lovely pub with good ales and intense beers. Great staff, one of my favorite in Astoria.

The sweet afton punch is Christmas in a glass. It's a good mix between a fir tree and a gingerbread cookie.
Ana PavNovember 17, 2014
Had the BLT sandwich YUM. Wanted the grilled cheese sandwich but only served evenings. Also the hot apple cider was glorious.

Nothing beats the breakfast burger with deep fried pickles and a Bloody Mary. Belly will be happy.

The cocktails are amazing and the beer/cider selection rocks.

My favorite atmosphere in Astoria. Even if you're there for just drinks, order the Beer Battered Fried McClure's Brooklyn Pickles. Immediately.

http://www.burgerweekly.com/sweet-afton/ If you find yourself in Astoria, go for the fried pickles and stay for the burger.

Backyard #Garden Is pretty sweet...small but sweet. Seems like there's always a breeze back there, even when there isn't a breeze anywhere else.

Cozy, chill, and hassle free, yet still a cool place. Every time I come here I just randomly sample all their beers. They're all good!!

Best black lemonade I've ever had! When ordering, ask for "the hidden agenda!"
Caity PrunkaJuly 13, 2013
Great atmosphere but Apple Blossom cocktail was overly sweet and didn't expect to get charged MORE in Astoria for whiskey than on the UES.

Its been stated enough times but the fried pickles are awesome. I tried the pickle martini and really didn't enjoy - couldn't even finish it, not my taste. Awesome atmosphere though!

The Mac and Cheese is worth trading a first born for! Also, the best bartenders in the neighborhood.

Fried pickles and the Mac & Cheese are out of this world. The burgers are also amazing. The night won't be complete without a pickle-back shot.
MikaJanuary 17, 2017
They have a very small but cute and cozy outdoor seating area. Inside was very loud. Food was just okay.

delicious, healthy, crunchy amazing chopped salad!
MJGSeptember 2, 2012
Some of the drinks--the spicy cherry and the ginger julep, for example--contain diced ingredients that function like pulp. Buyer beware.
