If you like reading within a “hippie neighborhood,” this would be the bar for you. however, I’m only giving up four stars for now, because while I do want to go into this bar more often, I’m on medication to get over many traumas, including getting over a ban from a different bar. This bar has my respect for now 🙂 - Zabar’s Employee

A nice little bar with a really fun vibe, friendly staff. Super enjoyable place to sit and relax. I didn’t love the cocktail I ordered (espresso martini), but I think I would absolutely come back and order a house special drink. Definitely somewhere I’d revisit!

Really eclectic feel, with great service, a great beer selection and cocktails. Nice pre-game or date night spot. They didn’t have food, but you can have food delivered. Nice touch.

Chill vibe, great prices. Great place to come to with a group of friends as everyone here is pretty familiar with each other and pretty cliquish — all in all, highly recommend; board games and all.

A few months late but finally getting around to this review. This place is great. The ambiance is extremely warm and relaxing. They have a wonderful selection of games and a nice outdoor space. I visited a couple times while I was staying in queens and was pleased with the experience every time. To top it off this place has one of the best bartenders I've encountered in the city. Her drinks are delicious and she is warm and welcoming to all real Americans. The first time I visited I happened to be wearing my all lives matter pin. She noticed it while serving me and pointed it out. I expected the typical nasty response that I get in NYC when people misinterpret my political leanings but instead she commented on how nice it was to see. The bar was somewhat busy so we didn't have a long conversation beyond that but her positive reaction really made my day. If you have a chance to have a drink here on a day the blonde bartender works I 100% recommend you do. The other couple times I visited there was another bartender who I didn't feel comfortable speaking politics with so I can't guarantee they are all as cool as the woman but he did make a decent cocktail so you will have a good time regardless of who is working. If you are in the area and want to a place to drink.. I highly recommend this one.
