I came here since we were in the area and my friend wanted to come. I used to come here when it was OE so I decided to give a shot. The new owners renovated and it they did a great job. Its very pretty and trendy however whats up with al the light? its way too bright in there for my taste.
Now the drinks are way over price $12-14 for drinks like this is Astoria not midtown and they weren't even that strong. We weren't really hungry but the fries smelled good so we decided to order fries and the Mexicali wings. The wings were okay but they don't even give you any ranch or blue cheese with them. The fries were seasoned well but they were on the soggy side. The best part was the dipping sauce that came with the fries, it was really good.
My first time here and I really don't have any complaints! Granted, I came on a Monday night so I have no idea of the atmosphere of a weekend night. The place is a fairly decent size, very clean looking and a nice ambiance. Lots of tv's for your sporting events too! I also liked the fact that I was in the mood to hear some music and being it was a Monday night- not many places have that "vibe" to it but they had the jukebox on and had it at a decent volume! You know- the kind of volume that if you wanted to sing along you could without embarrassing yourself, and at the same time if you wanted to talk to your friends you still aren't shouting? LoL Speaking of talking- my friend and I also met some interesting people from London this night. Very pleasant to talk to! It also says a lot about the place itself by the customers. Nobody was loud or obnoxious or causing problems – and for a Monday night there was a decent amount of people there- so extra points for that haha As for the drinks- the bartender made them pretty strong, I didn't feel cheated at all. The prices are really fair too. I also decided to get a little something to eat and I ordered the macaroni and cheese and added bacon. I gotta say- it was pretty damn good! Only thing that isn't fun about this place is- bathrooms are downstairs boo!! LoL Otherwise- like I said, no complaints! And I did come on a weekday so I'll have to go back on a weekend night and check it out.
Came here because the sports bar down the block was PACKED.
The waitress was nice. The game was on so there was no music- lame! The drinks were okay. $8 for a mixed drink, which is pretty high since I know so many places in the area that sell them for 4.
The wings were pretty good.
What really turned me off was the hookah. We ordered a hookah for $25 ($10 a few blocks down) and the girl said it wasn't a traditional one but we didn't ask any questions (our mistake). It was an electronic tiny vape thing???? Disgusting and a total embarrassment and a waste of money. We paid and left immediately.
Never going back.
First time here after passing it often going to the gym. Came in tonight and was greeted and serviced by barman Joaquin. Started with a rum punch that was light and sweet though he said its strong- as if little miss sunshine couldn't handle it. Ha ! Followed by a Nutcracker that had a turquoise color to it. Wasn't a fan- strong with a medicinal taste, next was frozen mojito with a lime kick and just right given this heatwave. The chicken caesar wrap is tasty but NOT on a first date- pulling romaine lettuce out your teeth isn't cute, no matter what you're wearing. saw they had my fave cheese, Machengo and enjoyed it with a nice Malbec. Nice atmosphere- attentive bartender extrodinare Jaoquin and friendly bar mates. iPod playlist and a juke box. Will be back! And if there's a game on- you have a dozen flat screens to watch it on.
Great atmosphere with plenty of Tvs to enjoy a game. Bartenders are friendly and drinks are pretty good. DJ was horrible and better music from the jut box.
Drinks: favorite drink has to be the frozen sangria & henny colada. They had a specialty drink menu a few weeks ago w/ on of the drinks being a Jack Palmer. When I asked the waitress she looked at me and said um not sure what that is so I explained. She said oh didn't hear of that but maybe you should ask the bartender bc I am not sure. Why the hell would I ask the bartender when you are my waitress? ????? Never ever tell your customer to get up from their seat, walk over to the bar when you are my waitress. Like hellloooo!!! She was sweet so maybe she was new and didn't know any better. She did bring me the drink and I guess they got rid of that special drink menu.
Food: I read the meatballs were really good but were a bit dry and not flavorful when I tried them. I must say the tomatoe sauce they used was amazing and sooo flavorful wow!!!
Pulled pork quesadilla: mehh. Nothing special won't try it again. I had to pay $1 extra for sour cream? I thought quesadillas usually come with SC?? Oh well.
Mexi wings: Mmmm actually really good. Good flavors. A Lil sweet and I will definitely try these wings again.
Overall i had a fun and it's a good local spot to hang out.
Came by on a Thursday night to check out the place, I had been wanting to come since I saw that it had opened. It was a cold night, but it was a little too hot inside. Our group of 6 asked to be seated in the back rather than the front and the hostess was super nice and moved and cleaned all of the tables to accommodate our party. I personally thought our waitress was a little weird. She seemed like she was trying to be nice, but when we asked if they had a passion fruit mojito, she said no – and we asked another staff member what they had that would be similar…they informed us that they did have passion fruit mojitos? another person in our group asked what beers they had and she said "Look at the menu." We ordered about 6 appetizers and I thought they were all tasty and reasonably priced. (sliders, wings, croquets, shrimp and something else that I just can't remember) I started off with the frozen mango daiquiri which was awesome and than switched to pinot grigio and it was definitely a decent sized pour.
I will definitely be back, maybe for a girls night or to check out the happy hour specials. Great addition to Steinway & Astoria's bar scene.
