The Wolfhound — Restaurant in New York

Post-pandemic Update(s)** The new crew at the Hound has a lot to offer and they are awesome people. Anna's back and Omar and David have really made this place their own. Always lotsa great beers (constantly rotating can selection) and cocktails (which change with the season) but the staples are always available. Definitely try whatever mezcalita they're mixing up, and the espresso martini! The food menu and cooks are back to the higher standards after the pandemic, and while it's not fine dining (why would it be) it's still good pub/bar food (the chicken quesadilla and the curry cheese fries are among my favorites). Trivia Leagues are back! They've done away with the Monday Trad session during darts which is a huge let down though, not gonna lie. They are doing lots of fun events every Friday and/or Saturday (like themed music nights and live band karaoke!) and when I'm up for it they've been super awesome and fun (but sometimes I'm too old for a loud/crowded bar, so I still enjoy the quiet nights there best)! Definitely my favorite bar in Astoria, and still one of the best pints of Guinness (maybe in all of NYC)!!

Original* I can't say enough good things about the Hound. The entire staff is amazing, Jessie, Rory, Paddy, Joe, and Anna. All are fantastic and fun people! The dart throwing spaces are great, the Toasties are tasty, and the pints are delicious. There's almost always live music going, or some other planned event, and the vibe here is just always exactly what you need it to be. They're very involved in the community, from darts clubs, to softball, to charity events. I couldn't be more thrilled for what the boys have done here and what they've accomplished. See you down the Hound!

Original Update* Ivan and Anna are no longer there, but Rob is probably my favorite bartender next to Jessie, and their part-timer Carlos. Jay is a new-comer as well and is also fantastic. They now do Karaoke on Tuesdays and it's a blast... Good talent comes in. And they have wings now for Trivia on Wednesdays and Football on Sundays... The wings are Carlos' recipe and just might be the best wings in the neighborhood!...

This neighborhood bar is a perfect spot to enjoy drinks with couple of friends. The bar is quite well stocked (an extra star for serving Delirium Tremens). There are seating arrangements for large group(s) who would want to have a bit of separate area from the main bar, but still can be near by to order drinks. There are 2 dedicated Dartboards areas (which was a fun activity within our group). Staff is courteous and prompt with orders. Although Friday nights was less crowded until after 10pm, it is perfect for groups who want to enjoy the bar for catching up with friends or to be within your particular group. The 2 big drawbacks are: No kitchen/Food served on premises & absence of a proper drink menu. But still, overall a...

Had an amazing burger with caramelized onions (and a spicy sauce I was not expecting)..ha! I'm pleasantly surprised by the menu. Very, very young crowd. I was there for trivia night. Lots of stuff going on. The crowd & staff were adorable. Still a great neighborhood place to go .A very fun friendly upbeat vibe. Love to hang out here with good folks. Bring your tribe here. Grab a quick burger & brew before 7pm comes with a beer for $11!! It's available M-F. Tip your barmen well. Let's keep this bargain around. Amazing cocktails for a friendly unpretentious neighborhood place. I'll be back soon! Check out my photos! They no longer have...
