I recently visited this establishment with my best friend, hoping to enjoy a nice drink and some food. However, our experience was absolutely terrible. After only finishing our first drink, we were kicked out for no reason at all. It was only 8 PM in the morning, and there were hardly any customers in the place. We were shocked and confused as to why we were being treated this way.
To make matters worse, we suspect that the reason we were kicked out was due to racism and xenophobia. The waiter who rushed us out to take another table after KICKING the first waiter we had in first place, was incredibly rude and unwelcoming, despite us being paying customers. And the quiche guy with gray beard who was serving us was equally unhelpful and unprofessional. We received no explanation for why we were being asked to leave, and we were treated with utter disrespect.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. The staff is clearly intolerant and unwelcoming to people from different backgrounds. Do yourself a favor and avoid this establishment...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreVery nice & lively spot in northern Astoria. Found my way here this weekend and had a pleasant time. The space was near capacity from the time I walked in around 8pm up until I left around 1130pm. Their drink menu includes a rotating selection of beers on their ten draft taps, a fairly extensive selection of bottled beers (I would estimate 20-30 kinds), a modest selection of wine, and a menu of specially cocktails that utilize some interesting techniques like smoked woods, singed citrus zest, and house-made tinctures. They serve a modest selection of appetizers and finger foods from their behind-bar prep kitchen such as meat & cheese platters and homemade guacamole & chips.
On the negative, the music volume was constantly pretty high, causing the ambient conversation level to be equally high. Personally, I did not like the smells of the seasonal hot cider drinks because they were very strong around the part of the bar I was sitting at; but otherwise it wasn't an issue when away...

The service was amazing. There was one person working that day, the manager. Unfortunately I forgot his name. He was everywhere. Making dirnks, the food, bussing tables and serving those seated outdoor. Give this man a raise. He did all with a great smile!
The drinks were solid and so was the pizza.
