    Astoria Tavern is a wonderful addition to the bar scene of Astoria and LIC. They have only been open 3 weeks or so and I think the ownership is part of the Irish Rover. I guess I did not notice construction over the last few months while going to Sal, Kris and Charlie, since the bar is only 25 feet away and this could be a new regular routine. Go to SKC, then go to Astoria Tavern for lunch. Astoria Tavern does not serve food. The interior of the bar is very nice. It has that new bar coat which some people like and some don't. Personally I found the place very warm and welcoming. It had a combination brick walls, wood bar and beam ceilings. Plenty of TVs (16) and they where well place throughout the tavern. Lighting and music, on point. Tuesday night's bartender was Kevin. An Irish guy who definitely knows his trade. I was greeted immediately and was engage in conversation a couple of times. Since the dozen or so customers where all new, he was working the crowd. Job well done. I tend to stick to Bud Lite bottle when I go to a new place and at $4.50 (I think), fair price for the area. I did notice 14 or so craft beers on tap, including Guinness. They seem to cater to the ever changing neighborhood, late 20's, 30's. Their was a nice mix on my recent visit; suit and tie, shorts, causal, etc. I did notice two things that may drive me crazy and since this is a new place they get a pass. If you sit near the front, you will be blinded by the outside lights beaming in through the very top of the front windows. Very annoying. Wasted space. I am sure it will be address in time. The second is more of a personal vice. I like my TVs bigger. I am so use to these big ass units, that I can view from anywhere. The tavern has these small 32 inch models that you can only watch from the space nearest you. My bad. I guess they want to attract a date crowd and married couples. LOL. Credit Cards, but no AMEX. Bummer...... Overall, Astoria Tavern is a great all around place to enjoy an adult beverage, conversation with friends, chill solo or enjoy some sports on TV. You are made to feel welcome from the moment you walk in and throughout your visit. Very refreshing. I will definitely be a regular. Cheers............

    Oh mark!

    byo food! How can you not like a bar that is BYO Food? Now, while I won't tell you the sordid tale of how I ended up here, I will tell you that Mark is the man. Where else can you open a tab w/ a Bartender, drink to your hearts content, and then have them put you in a cab on the way home at the end of the night? Suffice it to say that I owe this dude....so, the Astoria Tavern is my go-to drinks place now. Tons of tvs and they'll play whatever you want, pretty decent beer and liquor selection and THE BEST POUR OF GUINNESS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE (even while in Ireland). Now, growing up in Ireland these blokes now how to make a good pour w/ the clove on top. Can't beat that. Prices are very fair, and a little on the low end. DO IT if you're in the area. In fact, you will see me often go from The Thirsty Koala for food, then over to the Tavern for my drinkies. There's a well worn path in the sidewalk from all of my going back and forth...

    Da bartender!!

    Called in here on a saturday on a friends recommendation, beautiful irish bar! The bartender Malachi was soooo nice, kept cracking jokes and telling us stories (or yarns as he called them). The bartenders really makes a bar, so he had us won over!! The drinks were cheap and the 4th one was on the house!! Lots of TV's with sports on but it's not one of those obnoxious sports bars, there's a really cosy feel to it. Will certainly be calling back to see what the night scene is like

    Happy hour $4

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Four of us came here because I heard their fish and chips are very good. I am a sucker for this famous British/Irish deep fried goodness. Well, I can say without a doubt that this version is excellent (8.5/10) as described. The dish comes with three pieces that are crispy and tender. However, they gotta make a better tartar sauce than the ones they served in packets. Also, we switched out chips for onion rings. They were fantastic! I also really enjoyed their French Onion Soup (8/10) and the Shepherds Pie (7.5/10). The soup was flavorful without being too salty like most restaurants, while the pie had relatively fluffy mash potato with tasty ground beef mixture. The only item that was a slight letdown was the Chicken Pot Pie (6/10). The puff pastry was decent and so was the cream sauce. The problem was the overcooked and dry chicken breast meat. Our server was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. Btw, even though the space was basically a dive bar, the energetic 60's and 70's music was definitely a plus. Therefore, I gave it a slightly higher score for decor. All in all, this was a great experience.

    At one time, Cronin & Phelan had a terrible reputation. Their patrons would hang out on the corner…read moreand stench up the street with cigarette smoke, then during the COVID period planned super-spreader parties, as advertised by their followers on social media. And that is why I boycotted them. Everything was very lax at that time, with little enforcement from the SLA. In October, my partner and I headed back to try their Irish breakfast and to see how things had improved. At the time, a large party was being held in their backroom, and we were not prepared to wait forever. We asked to speak with the owner, Mike Peacock, and told him we had to be at church to ring the church bells. We appreciated his dedication to getting us our food on time, but to be really honest, the Irish breakfast was not the best that could have been made.

I paid 11 dollars for two cosmopolitans, not bad for the area. Plus they were STRONG and the bartender was quick and attentive. I would come again. I wish there were games there. I only saw the darts, maybe I missed it. It's pretty dark and dated like someone else mentioned. In any event, I would come again. Good spot to start the night out bar hopping.

    I've walked by this bar a couple of times now while visiting friends in the Astoria Ditmars area…read moreand have always been curious as to what its like inside. I love super shitty Irish dive bars. Love. L-o-v-e. I also like bougie but there's nothing like the fresh smell of musk, seeing a bunch of regulars that have been sitting there for way too long cradling their bud lites and pondering where their life is going to take them next. I had about 30 minutes to kill before heading to a baby shower down the street and was torn over whether I wanted to get a coffee somewhere or an alcoholic beverage. Given that I knew no one at this shower, I went with just a nice lite beer. They have an okay selection on tap and nothing remarkable but the traditionals and Singlecut and Fat Tire if you are feeling more exotic. What won my heart over really and truly though was their free party mix on the bar tops. Not that crumby kind - oh ho ho ho no. It's the kind with the cheetos, pretzels, doritos, and the little frito bits that have a kick to them. The best kind of party mix one can really have anywhere. My beer was about $6 but they have $3-4 specials probably at all wakes of the night/day. Curious if this is any way related to the O'Hanlon's on east 14th street in Manhattan but probably just a popular name.
