    El mejor maracuya sour!!!!
    Alyssa B.

    Ah I love Amaru. It makes me want to go back to Peru even more! (and I'm not even Peruvian!) Maracuya sour, still amazing! Try the salchipapas! Instead of typical oscar mayer hotdog - they use spanish sausage (chorizo) and it is delicious! The care they put into everything really shows, and pays off! Came for Peruvian Independance, music was on point (like always!) If only they hired female bartenders, I'd apply in a heartbeat!

    I came here on a Wednesday night around 9:45 and it started to get packed as I was leaving at 12:15. Their music playlist ranges from bachata, pop, salsa, hip hop, cumbia, and some alternative rock. The bartenders are attentive and very friendly. For my first drink I ordered the Cholita, which was very refreshing, clean, and not overly sweet. I prefer bitter drinks over sweet, so I enjoyed the Callao Long. A girly drink all will appreciate is the Maracuya Sour. For food, the Cebiche (Ceviche) wasn't anything special but it was satisfying. Gambas al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp) was quite delicious also served with a basket of bread. My friend ordered Alitas Amaru (chicken wings) and seemed to enjoy them. I definitely want to come back on a Friday or Saturday night!

    I really do like this place. The decor is great. Ambiance is great especially for a date. Sometimes the music might just be a little too loud, but if the music is good then it won't matter as much. The restroom is well maintained. There is a balcony seating area which costs $200 to rent with full service. Accommodates approximately 25 people. The staff here is awesome. Shout out to Gabriel, Michael, Ephrain, and Carlos. There is also a little outdoor area for the occasional smoker to access. The negative? It's quite a significant one... No coat check. All the seats in here are stools meaning no back. If you come with a jacket/coat then you either sit on it or on your lap. Minus one star for that. The drinks are great and appropriately priced for what they are going after. If you're complaining about the price, then you obviously are not the clientele they are targeting. The tapas is also great. I recommend the Gambas de Ajillo. I'm a repeat offender at this place.

    What a gem in the neighborhood! Part sports--sports lovers will totally dig the gigantic screen and cocktail bar, this spot is a nice addition to the neighborhood. Those of you who love their cocktails sweet will be happy here. I thought the Amaru pisco drink was super sweet but another drink (I don't recall the name but it's the first drink listed on the right side of the menu ) was better thanks to its tartness. Like beer? They have two Peruvian beers on draft that are totally worth trying. The biggest surprise was the amazing huge ceviche trio sample. For only $14, you get three different types of ceviche (two fish and one shrimp) with chockful of flavor and zest. This is a mega steal; in Manhattan, you would probably need to pay double the price for the quality and portion. My only misgiving (aside from the super sweet pisco) is the size of the bar tables. The small size suits a party of 2 comfortably. For a party of four, it leaves you with enough space only to drink. We had to cram our drinks and be creative while enjoying our ceviche. Still, I'd come back again but ironically, the draw would be the food. By the way, they serve complimentary popcorn kernels (almost like cornnuts minus the added flavors and preservatives).

    Great place to have fun with friends! Great mix of music here (not too much a fan of Salsa and bachata) but here they play everything! Even Latin pop/rock! Bouncers are nice and friendly. Good mixed drinks and the peruvian food is awesome! Prices are good too, better that going to the city. One bad note. Parking. It's nearly impossible around here. Or get here early, it does get crowded. But it's a nice crowd.People are nice here, No problems whatsoever. Music is very loud at times, and hard to hear each other talk. But you'll be dancing till 4am for sure!

    Loved this place and will continue to come back every Saturday…read more I came here specifically to listen to jazz. Every Saturday night, they host a jazz night, starting at 8pm. I love jazz and thought I should stop by and see if it's any good. I was so surprised at how great it was. Going to Chowk, you'll first notice a few things. It feels a bit gimmicky. It's partially the decor, partially the plant wall thing, partially the neon sign. The entire place is set up in a way so that every pic you might post on social media would look great. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's a vibe. The shape of the place makes it feel a bit like a railroad apt. Bar is on the right as you come in, with a couch set up between the windows and the bar. On the left is long wall seating. Small tables as well with stools on the other side. At the far end is a good size stage with a jumbo screen behind it. I looked at their cocktail menu and decided to get a "My Name Is." It was delicious and it's the only cocktail I've gotten on the three visits there. It's a Nepali bar and I've also had one of their Nepali beers which was also good. In regard to the jazz, it was phenomenal. I felt somewhat bad that they don't have the crowd (yet) that they deserve. When you go, there's no doubt you're in the presence of greatness, that these musicians have practiced their entire lives to bring this to you and you're able to just sit there and enjoy it. I felt truely blessed. The staff here is chill and kind and are appreciative of patrons. I can't wait to go back for more. Highly recommend as just a chill vibe cocktail bar and highly recommend for the jazz.

    Great place to hangout after tiring day with big space in and out ,great music and dj session…read more,right in the heart of queens very convenient,bartenders and service was great with varieties of coctail and they have japanese whisky too,great place to celebrate and have great fun
