What a great new addition to Astoria! A wide selection of beer and delicious BBQ! They their flower power IPA!

Nice spot if you just want a night in Astoria to drink with a big group of friends. I'm not into beer some of the cocktails are alright. The BBQ itself isn't so bad either.

Fun space. Good beers and BBQ and brown liquor. Live music several times a week.

Brunch times service can be hit or miss; food is delicious. Recommend the steak and eggs.

Texas vibe with a New York twist. Great beer and music.
Rosemary R.January 21, 2013
Great for whisky drinks - try the Lower Manhattan! Food smells great but too dry! Needs extra BBQ sauce to give it flavor!
Sean LlewellynMarch 11, 2015
Great for Sunday brunch with huge portions and live music. I'm definitely coming back.
Ryan EickJanuary 10, 2016
Great spot for beer, whiskey and live music, and the food isn't half bad either!

Service is VERY slow at brunch. The hosts were pleasant and seated us promptly, but our server was largely absent throughout the meal. Great brioche toast, though.

Live music on Saturday night -- In my experience, they start around 9ish and go until 1030ish

Not sure how anyone can complain about portions when you order by the lb. Brunch is excellent; cheap and left very full.

Great bloody marys! Fav dish is the 'sunnyside up'. Awesome wait staff and live music!

The hash plate is amazing, and so is their beer selection.

Good food, drinks, music. Could someone please tell the DJ that we want to be able to talk while listening to his mixing? I mean, seriously??? Even the LiVE band didn't play as loud as the DJ.

Get your drinks first to avoid your food getting cold. BBQ is best served hot!
Caroline SeliaJuly 4, 2014
Pretty awesome place -- EXCEPT during major holiday or event, then it's terrible & no place to sit or drink. And people will just take over a spot and NEVER leave. Not cool.

Beer garden style. Soft opening now. BBQ runs out if you come too late. Looks like they also do weekend brunch.

There's no reason why a growler of beer should be $21. It's American beer. Bought 1lb of pork, 2 sides and they didn't even offer me the FREE bread. Had to show them the paper that said FREE bread...
Jamie DumbillMay 1, 2017
The cornbread and baby back ribs were perfect.
MaiaDecember 29, 2014
Nice beer selection. Smoked meats pay per lb so bring appetite or a friend.

This is probably my favorite bar in Astoria. No -- hands down my favorite bar in Astoria.

Great place. But $20 for a 2oz pour of Hudson Baby bourbon--? cheaper in manhattan. Beware.
Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019
Extensive selection of beer and tasty bbq. Must try the brisket!
Patrick ButlerMarch 25, 2013
Drinks/beer are small portions at fat prices. A draft beer served in a preserve jar is 7 bucks!! C'mon!!!! Meay t/food was descent but I like to eat off a plate not a paper lined tray.
Tabitha JohnsonAugust 10, 2016
It's fine. Brisket was by far the best meat option. The kale salad was flavorless with the lemon vinaigrette.
Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013
Big local beer list, strong whiskey cocktails.
SaritDecember 1, 2012
Dinner starts at 6. Come early and grab a whiskey from one of the 10 oak barrels while they cook up delicious smoked meats.
misskittyinnycJuly 1, 2013
Wow with the pulled pork. So yummy and crusty and moist. That was some serious swine!
Nathan YuenAugust 1, 2014
Beer and BBQ meat!! What more can you ask for?
Runako TaylorJuly 23, 2013
Mac n cheese is smashing but so are the succulent meats. V good eats.
meredith lJuly 6, 2013
Ask the bartender to whip you up an off-menu drink. It's worth it
Dave StewartFebruary 2, 2013
Get your daily dose of new Americana. Craft beers, bourbon, BBQ and some bluegrass or zydeco.

Excellent bbq but beware as sometimes they run out of certain cuts.
Ryan GallagherOctober 15, 2017
Maybe it was an off day. most of the food was bland. Cornbread extremely dry; baked beans was basically beans in water; pulled pork needed more seasoning. There are better bbq options around

Not sure who this Dan fella is but there's definitely potential here. The BBQ is a little dry and the tepid water on the table is pretty terrible but like others said, it's better than Blockbuster.

Interesting, refreshing cocktails. Big space & pretty outdoor space
Anina AhmadAugust 25, 2015
Brisket, Filet mignon, mac and cheese, and maple pork belly

The pulled pork is excellent, also don't miss the mac & cheese (Cheese & shells)
Micah RichJune 17, 2017
Literally every thing. Best BBQ in the city so far.
Fernando LozadaMay 31, 2015
You could never go wrong drinking any api beer. It'll do you justice!!
Tiffany WMay 25, 2014
$4 (brunch price) for Original Sin hard cider on tap. I need more of this in my life. =P
Julian TamayoJanuary 27, 2013
That "Shelter From the Storm" cocktail is warm and legit! Perfect for s cold cold night.
Jack NicolausFebruary 7, 2013
Amazing beer selection. Food is less than enchanting, especially for the price.
Billy KeenlySeptember 15, 2015
Nice enough place but all three times I've tried the barbecue it's been unbelievably salty. And I like salty foods.
Tommy LJanuary 8, 2013
The beer was great!! But need to improve on the service.
