Dutch Kills the Bar Scene in LIC
Posted on June 12, 2010. Filed under: Bar-Hopping in Queens, Date Spot/ Romantic, LIC, Off the beaten path, Pubs |
Dutch Kills Bar in LIC has been infamously described by using phrases like off-the-beaten-path, speakeasy, and for the love of god, mixologist. It has a reputation for making patrons feel like they are a part of some elite members-only club, a marketing ploy that reels in customers by creating delusions of grandeur. This place makes ordinary [...]

I’ve been hearing rave reviews about Sweet Afton ever since they opened. As a general rule, any bar that offers outdoor seating and caters to the hipster crowd is often overflowing with praise, whether it’s warranted or not. I was in no hurry to try this place because I figured it would be exactly what [...]

Club 21 Bar and Lounge (30-09 21st street & 30th Ave 11102) is the “other beer garden”. Located on a street mostly barren of nightlife, Club 21 comes alive on the weekends. This Czech watering hole offers native draft beers like Krusovice, Radeberger and Weihenstephan, bottled beers, wine and traditional cocktails. The interior is a [...]

Winegasm (31-86 37th St 718-932-3331) is a classy low-key eatery that brings the heart of Europe to central Astoria. The rustic wooden decor is simple yet elegant, just like the vibe of the restaurant. There is nothing flashy about Winegasm. With wines hailing from France, Italy, Argentina, Russia, Spain and California, it leans more on [...]

Cafe Bar 32-90 36th St 718-204-5273 Walking into the Cafe Bar feels like walking into a time warp. The atmosphere is kind of like the set of the classic Brady Bunch, on acid. The mismatched 70′s inspired furniture, stained glass windows, comfy couches and beaded doorway make patrons feel right at home- if home was a cozy [...]

LIC Bar (45-58 vernon Blvd) is sure to please just about everyone. From the comfortable surroundings to the up-beat crowd to the down-to-earth bartenders, it’s all around a great place to go, rain or shine. It resembles an old fashioned watering hole with slightly southern features. The exposed brick and rustic wooden tables fit right in [...]

1221 Astoria Blvd Astoria, NY 11102 (718) 204-8313 The long, dark and desolate walk towards the end of Astoria boulevard has a light at the end of it: It’s called, Hell Gate Social. The stealthily located bar is just past the library and right before the river. Passers-by shouldn’t be fooled by lack of signage or windowless [...]
