Beware the benches on the patio. Wear jeans or you'll end up with splinters in your ass (like me).
Kelly StoddardAugust 28, 2011
Get the fried pickles and go early for $4 beers!
Ian RoussoJuly 21, 2010
Place is alright. Didn't get to try the food, but they got a good beer selection. I'm hearing awesome things about the Mac n' Cheese
Jessica RojasMay 20, 2012
Amazing Witte Screwdriver & Muddled Blueberry cocktails.
Danielle PoonoosamySeptember 6, 2014
Go for the grits and eggs

I was pretty underwhelmed by the fried pickles - I felt like the coating and pickle taste didn't mesh well together - the fried pickles at Dive Bar are better! Everything else is great though!

If you want to actually sit down and enjoy the excellent food, go during the week when it's not wall-to-wall packed.

Love their draft Cider

Awesome cider here
Journo GirlNovember 27, 2013
Overrated!: I'm pretty sure the rye root beer is Robitussin & the Pickled martini is just pickles w/ a sneeze of vodka. Go to Dutch Kills please.

The Witte Screwdriver makes me wish every day was Sunday.
Oscar LoboOctober 10, 2013
This place is trying too hard to be Williamsburg it's embarassing. Not a good showing dor an Astoria bar. As a person raised in Astoria I do not approve.
Sam GoldmanAugust 7, 2011
Best bloody marys in New York City. Period the end.

Watch out for the Asian waitress she horrible. It's best if you sit at the bar instead of sitting at a table since it's the best way you can avoid her. Worst waitress ever.
Mark GrabowskiNovember 17, 2013
$3 for a cup of coffee, no free refill and they hit you with a liquor tax to boot - wtf?
Charlie BellFebruary 25, 2011
Nice place good food, but look out for the douchebag 'hipster' guests. They all think they're the shit and they can be more rude than the typical murray hill crowds.
CarissaOctober 27, 2013
Get the Mac and Cheese.

Fried pickles. Pickle martini.
Maria AvgitidisMarch 28, 2010
Mac and Cheese is only available at dinner. They will not let you into the kitchen to let you make it during brunch hours.
Michael MarrsAugust 25, 2013
Best bar in Astoria!
Seth MarshallJuly 24, 2010
Overpriced, but could be a great spot. Unfortunately in the neighborhood it's all we got. Burgers used to be top notch but have gone down. Every beer should be at least a dollar cheaper. $5 cans?

um, ladies, go back for the bartender...at least on Tuesday nights...
