Loved the vibe and a cocktail I had, with a caveat that I only stayed for short amount of time. Tentative 5 star mainly to remind myself that I’d like to revisit this bar. One concern though is that this whole place seemed to have a layout of very thin and long space, which I think that makes it much more easily crowded and packed.

Ever since I saw the video with Jeff from Epicurious on YouTube, I had to come here and it didn’t disappoint. I came back here on a date (not successful), but I do highly recommend it for a date. The ambience is relaxed and intimate but also very personal and I can say the same about the drink. I had the Old Fashioned and it was perfect. I can’t wait to go back to Dutch Kills.
One of my favorite bars in Queens, especially if you’re in the Long Island City area. Drinks are great, atmosphere is very cool, calm and collected with limited seating so the space won’t get too crowded with FCFS seating.
A speakeasy style bar, but not in the sense it’s hidden. The main bar is at the back, with a front seating area.
Food wise, they do have mixed nuts and jerky, but that’s all. Great place to go after a hearty meal nearby.
The menu of cocktails is quite extensive and of the 8 drinks we had, they were all very well made and delicious. I personally liked the Old Barrel the most, it was booze forward - in a good way.
The bartenders definitely know their stuff and make great drinks. Special shout-out for using clear ice as well.
Great selection of drinks and cocktails. If you have a favorite cocktail, this place will likely make it better than any other experience you had before. They have seasonal cocktail menu that change every few months that people should try.
Great! Went here with froms for some drinks. A very prohibition-like atmosphere, with very little lighting and no windows.
Drinks were fine as well as service. We didn't visit, but there was also a section with live music. Would recommend!
Love to stay longer. Very curious place to discover more drinks. Reasonable price. Will visit again once I am in the NYC.
Went with a friend and we were at the table outside. To be honest I preferred outside more cause I found out there was a bad smell inside the day we visited.
I couldn’t remember names of the cocktails but I like my friend’s more. Mine is something like pina colada but with a really grassy alcohol taste. I have to say it tasted like cilantro or celery which I really don’t like😅.
Crowded but the cocktails are delish.
Fridays are busy but my friend was able to sneak us into the back of the bar. Cool experience with vintage decor and a jukebox that plays throughout the bar.
This place is known to use ice that is purposefully cut into deliberate shapes to enhance the flavors of their cocktails. That being said, the cocktails were great!
Great place to visit if you’re in the LIC.
The best spot in all of Queens for cocktails and spirits. Sun-Thur 4-6pm happy hour is a great place to start so you can work your way through each of the house favorites. If you're not into cocktails, they also have a handful of beers (Alewife is my top choice) and wine. Cheers!
