50 Best Bar & Grill near Forest Hills

“I tried the place for the 1st time around 1 week ago. I've been back again I really enjoyed the chicken wings and my smashed bacon cheeseburger I tried a beer called a Cloud in the Sky it was awesome I will definitely be eating there again“

“I’ve been coming to Rolo’s since they first opened and they really never disappoint. The food just gets better and better. Everything is amazing but my hands down favorite is the shrimp. I’d say it’s easily some of if not the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. The whole menu just compliments itself from the Calabrian chili butter to the wagyu steak. Also, Sitting in the back of the restaurant is such a cool experience because you get to watch the chefs work their magic on that wood fire grill. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC and in my top 5.“

“I came here for the 1st time during restaurant week & I cannot wait to return back to try the rest of the menu.The staff & atmosphere was friendly & welcoming, you could tell locals come all the time. Everything I ordered was tasty, but the star of the show was my main entree, Moqueca (Brazilian fish stew with tomatoes, pepper, onions & coconut milk) - It was both comforting and flavorful.The fish was cooked to perfection (soft, tender & flaked easily with my fork), the coconuts milk stew was rich & robust in flavor, with a smooth enough consistency to coat your spoon. In summary, it was chefs kiss! ?“

“The only good bar in the entire neighborhood, and great overall. It's the oldest bar in NYC (aside from one in Wall St.) - You might recognize it from GoodFellas.Worth going out of your way for the history, and worth coming to just because. They play the sports games with the volume on. Have to love it.“

“Early March my and wife and I held a baby shower there. They were extremely accommodating with us and our guest. They also were very friendly and it worked out very well. We had families and most of the ladies at the tables and we had filled the bar with our drinkers and younger crowd.Music was good/ food was good / service was great! Anne was such a great manager worked hand in hand with our coordinator to make that day such a great experience.Overall 10/10 would highly recommend your next event there.“

“This place has great food. The service was awesome, too. Parking can be difficult to find, however. What makes this place stand out is the waterfront views you get. The food items we ordered to try here were the spinach and artichoke dip, fried chicken sandwich, and a grilled chicken wrap. Everything was excellent. The dip had great flavor. My favorite of these 3 items was the fried chicken sandwich. Loved how it was prepared. But everything we tasted we would recommend. We had a fun time hanging out here.“

“My family and I stopped here for a quick dinner late Thursday. The ambiance was fun, with a wide variety of music and happy patrons laughing throughout the restaurant. Although the music was a tad loud for regular volume conversations, we enjoyed it overall. The food was enjoyable and the service was amazing! We had a very attentive server and the manager was kind enough to check on us during our meal.Thank you“

“CASH ONLY SPOT! A good summer/spring spot to hang out outdoors to have a nice beer with a nice view. Its self service, so you order your own drinks at the bar. Not a lot of seatings so I suggest getting here early if you want to secure a seat.“

“I'm giving Malone's five stars. I absolutely loved it. First of all, the service was fantastic! I mean our server was professional, friendly, and just lovely. I came here for the weekend brunch, and I like that they also offered non-brunch items. I have never like eating waffles or eggs in the afternoon. I ended up getting Buffalo chicken wings. I love wings and I can say these were amongst the best wings I have had. They were just crispy and delicious. And the fries were yummy too.“

“This is hands down the best sports bar you’re going to find. A total blast. Really well done space with great service. It’s the perfect place to watch any game or just hang out with friends.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love the activities there. Mine does!“

“Unexpected stop at Abe's for a quick drink before Brooklan. Very cool laid back vibe. So when you sit in a seat like the one I took a picture of below no one comes up to you. That's the only downside to service. You'd have to go up to the bar and order. Drinks were pretty good for happy hour. The food was even better! Buffalo wings were sooo tasty and HUGE, which is so worth it. The chicken sandwich was also very good. I will say that salad blows all of it out the water! Not only was it all so fresh, it was huge! I just never expected Sugar Snap Pea, Edamame, Red Watercress, Pea Tendrils, Horseradish, Black Sesame, & Yuzu Kosho Ranch to be such a mind blowing combo! 10/10 recommend!“

“Highly recommend Bubo for your next dinner option or happy hour! The food is delicious and offers much more variety than your typical bars. The ambiance was warm and cozy and a great spot for a date night or hanging out with some friends. It’s located near a great area with the subway close by which makes commuting that much easier. Would love to come try their brunch next!“

“Due to circumstances, I can't go and eat there, so I've had Uber delivery for 3 days in a row now (trying various things). The quality of the food is incomparable to other restaurants. It's on a different level. Each and every sauce is made with care. They package it well. I had a question about the menu, so I called. When I did that, the female waiter (not Korean) was really kind! She explained it to me while shouting a little and said that she was sorry for yelling at the end because the store was too noisy. Even though she was busy, the waiter explained things so well! The food was great too!! I want to go and eat it warmly. I think it will taste better.“

“I can’t believe it took me so long to discover this place! I live a block away and never realized what a cute and cozy bar spot this was since it’s so inconspicuous from the outside. Great price on drinks for the neighborhood and the pernil buns were excellent—that’s coming from a Puerto Rican! Shout out to Lee, our bartender who took amazing care of us. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Came here on a Tuesday night with coworkers for Trivia Night. We had the happy hour wings and chips and avocado, both we delicious!!! I would come back just to eat it again. The servers are nice and the ambiance is nice for a after work hangout or a nice dinner date.“

“Wandered into this bar on a friday and had a delightful experience. Impressive service, great cocktails, delicious top tier bar food. Staff were friendly and attentive. The volume level is perfect for conversation and I enjoyed that they had ESPN on with “

“My daughter and I are in NYC visiting. We placed an online order and went to pick it up. They could not find the order. The employees found it and made the order fast and gave us a couple drinks on the house while we waited. Employees were so nice and the best part was the food was great! My daughter said it was one of the best burgers she has ever had. Thanks for a great experience and meal:)“

“If you want to end your night after experiencing times square, this is the place. Just a minute walk. This pub is lit. Made some good friends and the live music makes you go round twoParking: Parking anywhere in NYC is difficult. Plan ahead or wait to get lucky finding a spot“

“Delicious food once again. Chicken wrap was lightly toasted and stuffed. Took home half. Others in our party had Caesar salad w/grilled chicken. Very generous portion. And, turkey burger so thick and juicy it required both hands to manage. Recommend Doc Watson’s for food and service.“

“I love stopping by while I'm in Queens. Now that I have discovered they have an Elf mural and a resident (of sorts) French bulldog with his own barstool, this is a must stop while visiting this neighborhood. Super laidback and the drinks are cold and flowing. The staff wants to ensure a good experience! Live music when I was there on a Friday early evening. Cheers!“

“While I haven't been here to watch a game, I have been here twice when it wasn't packed, and I had a great time. The service was just as excellent as the wings and the pitcher of lemonade that we had, if you are in a company of more than two, I recommend getting the wings and ask for all the sauces brought separately.It's a good spot if you're meeting with a large group, too. There's plenty of room and tables behind!There's a regular bar section with table seating upfront if you're with a smaller crowd or by yourself.“

“Super adresse pour manger autour de the ROCK et de la Catherine St Patrick. Très bon déjeuner pour nous 6, grands parents, adultes, ado et et enfant. Les portions sont généreuses pour le Fish & Chips, Bbq Burger ou Cheeseburger du menu enfant. Les bières irlandaises top. Perso, je me suis régalée. L'ambiance très sympa. Je recommande“

“Marko is such an amazing manager. Very efficient and accommodating! The Burrata on special was out of this world. The avocado adding the most perfect touch to the specialty appetizer. Julia is such an amazing bartender , in which she made me a mezcal favorite with vanilla additives. 10/10 recommend this place ?“

“Stopped in here quick for drinks and fast eats. Got the $10 special of a Bush Light and Shot. We also got 5 appetizers for $60 and it was totally worth it. We got 2 orders or chicken tenders, 1 order of fried pickles, 1 order of bread sticks, and 1 order of nachos.“

“Your own little slice of Commodore in Greenpoint! Food is just as good and drinks are also. Cozy little bar with a ski lodge theme and a huge lit up screen of Glacier National Park behind the bar giving off those The Shining Vibes. Backyard and side walk seating as well. The Cadillac Nachos and Queso are classics, the Spinach and Mushroom Quesadilla is a newer addition but one of my favs. The Commodore is the classic Pina Colada. You can do a shot and beer combo with just about anything. Prices can't be beat.“

“I used to make fun of Tip Top when I'd walk by. Unassuming is an understatement. One night when we were already a bit buzzed we went here as a joke. I can't explain it, but... this bar is kind of magical? Incredible patio. Immaculate vibes. Now it's one of our favorite spots.“

“Second time at the Bayhouse and it was okay. Bayhouse is definitely a good place to go for a nice view. You can see the water from every part of the restaurant. I got the boiled seafood combo that contained flounder, shrimp, broccoli and potatoes. It was definitely breaded and topped with a lemon sauce. Flavor is definitely there, but I will say the sauce was very oily. Crème brûlée cheesecake was 10/10!! Overall the food was good. Although our server was nice service was very slow.“

“We really liked the variety on the menu — something for everyone! Our daughter ordered sushi, my husband got the creamy pesto pasta with chicken special and I enjoyed the ginger salmon with brown rice and steamed veggies. We finished with a delicious cheesecake and warm brownie, along with coffee. All was delicious!“

“Not your run of the mill City Island restaurant, I hope Archies can survive through all these pandemic shut downs. The food was really quality, creative and curated compared to anything on city Island. They definitely would not sell tilapia Frankenfish here. I remember visiting one of the more stylish restaurant on City Island, I was so disappointed to see tilapia on the menu and I could not finish my food. I would recommend they do something to make make themselves stand out more. When I mention Archies, many Yacht club members that of been going to city Island forever say Arties?“

“when we got to the front door of this place, the bartender came out and opened the door to welcome us. We were just going to stay for one drink, but we stayed much longer. Everybody was so friendly, and the drinks are really really generous. what a great dive bar!“

“It was a beautiful spring day as I was welcomed into the bar area which is fairly large. Many people were there due to st Patrick’s day. The bartender greeted me and I was fortunate enough to meet the owner through a buddy of mine. The beer was nice and cold and the people were friendly. Found a table outside with two young ladies and my bud. We shared frozen margaritas and then they put 90s hip hop and r&b.. my favorite. The sun was setting so we had to go. Highly recommend for a chill night out, will definitely try the food next time!“

“Plug Uglies was formerly Bar Coastal which I never stepped foot Into. I came here for some belated birthday drinks. When I got there it was not crowded at all. I ordered a Moscow Mule and I must say it was tasty. I ordered a sierra Nevada Hazy IPA next. The bartender was very nice. The space is great has plenty of seating. In the other part of the bar there is a shuffle board game. This is a great bar to come gather with friends for some food and drinks for sports game or just a weekend of fun. They have a few tvs here too. They supposedly have great wings here too with many different flavors. I did not get a chance to try them out though. Maybe next time.“

“We had a great experience. The food was delicious, the staff was terrific, and the atmosphere was outstanding. If you are a Manchester United supporter in particular, or even a football fan in general, this is the best place to watch a match short of be there in person. I highly recommend paying a visit.“

“Truly a gem in Harlem. Great lunch for a ridiculously low price. A cocktail was even included in the price of a burger! The live jazz music made this a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Harlem!Vegetarian options: I had a black bean vegetarian burger and it was amazingly tasty“

“Mehmet, Cyrille, Deb, and Alok, are the best bartenders ever in the entire new work city. I can’t imagine how they thrive to a higher position considering their time accumulated and their consistent hospitality and immaculate communication to bar regulars. I would give them, and Tony and Primo 5 Michelin Stars if I could.Kid-friendliness: Def not kid friendly considering the crowd. The staff is amazing though. The parking is subject to NYC parking availability (call 311 at your discretion).“

“Today I'll give them 4* , very fast delivery, they follow all my instructions regarding delivery and finally- food was amazing. Octopus salad was cooked very well, not like rubber, salad was fresh- cherry tomatoes, olives , everything was perfect paired. Also I ordered fresh pineapple juice and it's delicious. I would like to order it again.“

“Love coming on here with friends, love the music, food and drinks. Great atmosphere hangout.When it comes to enjoying a great atmosphere and having a wonderful time, few things can compare to the combination of good music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. The combination of great music, delicious food, and refreshing drinks creates a fantastic atmosphere for hanging out and having a good time at Tipsy.“

“The 773 is an outstanding lounge. The people who work here are very cool, and contribute to the friendly and welcoming ambience. The place brings in an interesting crowd and the vibe is chill. They have food in the back and host music events... Lots of fun reasons to stop by. Tip liberally and ask about "SPIN THE WHEEL".“

“So this place is a neighborhood pub with surprisingly good food, well poured drinks, and a nice draft beer selection. The crowd is a mixed bunch of folks from all walks of life and friendly. It has been here a long time and is a popular hangout for good reason.“

“I had a great time at Chateau Yaffa. It's a cozy place with a nice mix of European and Mediterranean styles. The restaurant felt welcoming with its soft lights and ambiance. The food was amazing! They use fresh ingredients for their wide range of dishes. I had the Shish Kebab and Prime Ribeye Steak that smelled delicious and that was cooked perfectly. The service was also great. The staff were friendly, and helpful, and knew a lot about the menu and drinks. They helped me choose the best dishes and beer. For dessert, I had a Napoleon cake, which was the perfect end to the meal. Overall, this restaurant is fantastic. The food, atmosphere, and service are all top-notch. It's a must-visit for anyone who loves European and Mediterranean food.“

“This place was such a treasure to find! Solid drink selection. The real gem though is that they have a good news bell for people celebrating! The bartender asked what brought us in and it was a friend’s birthday, but my partner and I are also engaged and getting married in April, as was another couple there with us that night. We all got a shout out, had celebratory shots, and it was so much fun! I absolutely love the good news bell.It’s also fun even if you yourself aren’t celebrating something to have those pleasant reminders of good things happening in others’ lives. I know it might sound cheesy when I say it like that, but it was really nice!They also have a nice patio in the back and shuffleboard in the main bar area. Highly recommend, will be back!“

“i love this place! i live around the corner and often pop in for a quick drink or for food. the food is delicious (hello fries??) and the staff is friendly, they handle the double duty of bartending and serving attentively and kindly. can get busy on the weekends but always great vibes. great local spot!!“

“My favorite bar in Queens! Great food, great drinks and always a good time. Juan (the owner) is always good to us and makes sure we are taken care of during crazy hours. If I had to choose 1 bar to spend my time at in NYC, Id pick sunswick everyday of the week.“

“I just wanna say if you don’t have SANDY as your waiter you are missing in out! Her energy is so good she is so nice she is one of the best waiters I have ever had all the food was delicious Sandy I wish you the best your amazing love to eat here burgers and onion rings are “

“McHales is within a stone’s throw of Time Square and a bunch of hotels, but somehow manages to retain a local feel. I say somehow, but this is because the founder, Paul, is a dead-set champion bloke, the rest of the staff are authentic and welcoming, the space is large enough to have some privacy and small enough to feel cosy, and sitting at the bar is a classic New York Irish treat (without the sticky beer-stained feel). I found it while I was there for PLUS NEW YORK (if you know, you know) and invited brokers to come and see me there. So, when in NYC, get yourself down there and sit back, relax, eat good food, say hi to Paul and the team and enjoy.“

“Legendary is an awesome spot. Came here with my gf and her friend and we love it so much that I’m leaving this review while I’m still here!Beers cold and foods hot!Frank the owner is super friendly and welcoming. First time going here and all the other people at the bar said they’ve loved this spot since it opened 13 years ago. Food came out quick and was tasty and also not expensive. Definitely coming back“

“We came here a few times as they have great beers and the atmosphere and service are nice. It's a relaxed pub so if you're looking for a posh place this is not it. If you're looking for tasty pub food, big portions for a great price, this is definitely the one. Because of all of these, this has now become our go-to place for a chill evening.“

“Very exciting find. Searched for restaurants near my hotel that served wings three different times and did not see this as a suggestion. While walking saw the sign and decided to investigate. Will definitely be back on future visits to new York. Next time I will try an entree... maybe. The appetizers were delicious and the make it yourself tray was great. I do not drink, but the drink specials were varied. Went during happy hour, so it was pretty packed but still comfortable. Wait staff friendly and attentive.“

“I go to a lot of places and love to drink Sangria. Sapoara is the only place where I know you cannot go wrong with Either Red or White Sangria. It is always made to perfection. Love this place. Fave food: all of the Steaks and Lamb chops on the menu.“

“Our family of four went here after Christmas and really enjoyed a fun and festive 90 minutes with our own curling lane and heated dome. We were placed on the lane next to 42nd street, which had several people rooting us on and asking questions on the game as they waited for the bus. It was so much fun! The skyline view was beautiful, especially as it got dark. The food was good, the staff were attentive and respectful. They don't have bathrooms on-site, but they do provide a bathroom pass to use at the ice skating rink so you can enter through the exit.Plan ahead since it gets crowded at Bryant Park and may take a few minutes to walk there. There is a public bathroom nearby but the line is usually really long. Fantastic experience!! I highly recommend!! Thank you for creating such great memories for us!“
