Food is on point! Def returning for the food atmosphere is good. Although our waitress was slow lots of glasses left on the table
So I came here for the first time to grab lunch with some people. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't crowded which was good. All the chairs inside are those high ones though- not a fan of them lol I prefer short chairs haha But anyway- I gotta say the service was great! Had a female waitress and she was so sweet!! Always smiling and asking if we needed anything. Also the bartender was adorable too! Very attentive and made real good drinks!
I ordered the macaroni and cheese and also had some of a hamburger. I thought the Mac and cheese was ok, but the hamburger was real good! Next time I'd get a burger for sure! I'd definitely come back here to eat, drink and just hang out! Seems like a really cool place with great service! It's also a little hidden though on the block- so keep your eyes open while looking for it haha
Solid 4 stars. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood. Astoria Craft offers awesome bar food, an extensive beer menu, a laid-back atmosphere, and more than fair prices.
Arrived on a Saturday night with four other friends. Honestly, I was a bit surprised that the place was only about half full at 8pm on a weekend. Perhaps the word is still getting around, because given everything about this place, it should be packed. The bar is tucked away on a corner on a quiet block off 21st St. The interior is cozy, but with more than ample seating at the bar or surrounding tables. The wood ceilings coupled with the minimalist lighting features help to give the bar a chill, inviting vibe.
This place is a haven for beer lovers. 12 drafts on tap and over 60 bottles. Plenty of options to please the palate. During this visit, they offered several Founders' brews on tap, and I went with goblets of Breakfast Stout and the Dirty Bastard. Both awesome.
Our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the beers, and gave many sound recommendations to our table throughout the night. And no one was sitting there with an empty glass for more than a minute. So high marks there.
The Noms. The five of us split the large bacon mac n cheese pizza ($26) to start, and I got the Craft Burger ($13) for my entree. Carbs don't count on weekends, right? Anyway, the pizza was decent, but didn't blow me away. Awesome crust and chew, but the flavors of the toppings were a wee bit lacking. Would order pizza again, but next time I'd go with another option. As for the burger, it was ON POINT. A hearty half-pound patty cooked to a perfect medium (as I requested), along with mozz, prosciutto, and marinara. Not at all your conventional burger toppings, but all the flavors really worked together. The other Yelpers got it right with this one.
As far as first impressions go, this was a damn good one. I'm more than willing to bump my review to that heralded 5th star if this place continues to wow me during my future visits. And there will definitely be many of those. Half price Wing Wednesday is already calling to me.
This is a very cool neighborhood bar. The actual bar is horseshoe shaped. On a very humid Saturday when a sister and I found ourselves looking for a heat reprieve, we were very happy to find the well air conditioned pub.
The bar had what appears to be a well planned New American menu, complete with gluten free Mac and cheese. This was killing me because I am gluten AND dairy free. Weeeep woooooomp

A craft beer spot in a location where Astoria needed it most. Astoria Craft hosts daily specials each night of the week, including a boozy brunch and wing night Wednesday in addition to their weeknight happy hours. Not sure which beer you want to order? The bartenders are friendly and happy to talk you through their extensive beer selection, allowing you to sample anything you want to try before committing to your order.
I came on half priced wing night, and sampled the buffalo and chile lime wings. Unlike some wing night specials where they're serving up tiny little wings in less than stellar sauce, Astoria Craft doesn't cut corners, offering large, juicy wings in the best buffalo sauce I've had to date. If you're up for something different and delicious, I recommend giving their chile lime wings a try. They're done in a dry rub so they're not drowning in sauce, but still packed with flavor. We also tried the spinach artichoke dip which I was apprehensive about at first, since so many times I've ordered this dish at other locations only to be underwhelmed by the soggy, clearly frozen spinach and over salted watery dip. Astoria Craft serves up the exact opposite – a hearty dip with fresh spinach accompanied with crispy Italian toasts.
I highly recommend putting Astoria Craft on your list of spots to try, ASAP. You'll feel welcomed and leave full and satisfied — but still thinking about what delicious menu item you want to try on your next visit!
They literally JUST opened (opening night was last night!) so they have a few kinks to work out, which is to be expected! We went on their second night, and walked on in at 6pm.
They have 12 different beers on draft, as well as 4 different wines on tap (white and red sangria, Pinot Grigio, and another wine). The space here is beautifully done with a horseshoe bar in the middle and several 2-3 top tables. They have one booth that could accommodate a 4-5 top, so it's definitely not for large groups!
Service was eager, and they had a server for the tables as well as a bartender. They were doing a menu tasting when we walked in, so we had a chance to take a look at the food.
We ordered:
A dozen wings – big meaty wings, we could've done with just half since they were really meaty! We did half BBQ and half hot – I preferred the hot.
Chicken parm sandwich – I LOVED the bread this came on! And it was different from what we expected (in a great way!). Picture fresh cooked tomatoes, freshly fried chicken fingers, topped with mozzarella and spread with pesto! Mmmm! And served with fries!
Individual pizza – they don't have large pizzas yet, just the individual size. It's not a thin NY crust, it's a puffy thicker crust. We really enjoyed it! The dough is made fresh everyday. (Which is fine, but doesn't 2-3 day old pizza dough taste/bake better? Or does that only apply when you make pizza at home a la serious eats?)
An awesome addition to the neighborhood! We live around the corner and we've been anticipating them opening ever since we saw the awning go up!
