Love! I came here…read morewith one of my close girlfriends and have to say it did not disappoint! I was not sure really what to expect. I was curious if this place was a restaurant, a bar, or a lounge. I would say this place is definitely a lounge. The vibe was great, very chill and unpretentious. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Their menu is more finger foods and decent bites if you plan to drink. I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far.

The outdoor section was covered well enough for the colder weather. However, it did start raining hard, so we moved inside after enjoying the view. I had the guava highball and then the Open Sesame cocktail. The highball was very strong, but I didn't really get a lot of the guava flavor. The Open Sesame was so sugary and delicious, though! The perfect blend of sweet coconut and slightly umami sesame seeds flavor. The popcorn chicken was my favorite bar snack of the night. The gyoza was ok, and the quesadilla was a little sweet, though I couldn't figure out where the sweetness came from. The manager kept coming around to sell us shots, so there was no lack of attention in service lol. The music was a tad loud for it not being a lounge where you could move around freely and dance.

The service was good, I can't stop talking about the salt & pepper popcorn chicken it's sooooooo good. The watermelon refresher was very refreshing for an alcoholic drink.

It's super cute with a nice speak easy, intimate, lounge-y vibe. We met the owner who was so welcoming and friendly- he said the space is meant to encourage conversion with the music being lower and the setting being more intimate, which we loved and felt. Their happy hour is great (4-8pm I believe?), with $10 drinks that are well made and pretty strong. We will be back!

Absolutely bizarre and rude experience at Upstairs Cocktail Bar. A group of six of us came in on a…read moreSaturday night and the bar was oddly silent with barely any music, which already made the vibe uncomfortable. Things got worse when two of us went to the bathroom and the bartender started aggressively pounding on the door yelling that it was "one person at a time." Later, two drinks were accidentally spilled at our table and instead of handling it like a normal bartender, he loudly yelled across the entire bar that we had to "apologize to the whole bar," then proceeded to shout at us and kick us out. He even took a full drink away from one of my friends while everyone in the bar stared because of the scene he created. It was incredibly unprofessional and honestly one of the rudest interactions I've had at a bar in NYC. If this is how they treat customers over an accidental spill, I would avoid this place

Tropics is a restaurant lounge and bar that has become a go-to spot for my Retro Fitness crew when…read moreit comes time to celebrate birthdays and other occasions. We have been going there for years and it has always delivered a good time. The vibe is fun, the music is generally solid, and there is a dance floor to make use of if you are in the mood. Fair warning though -- the speakers are close and the floor can get crowded, so be mindful of where you position yourself or you will be hearing ringing for days afterward. I have actually started considering bringing earplugs on future visits to protect my hearing. It is that kind of loud. As for drinks, I cannot speak to those since I do not drink alcohol. What I can tell you is that the water was perfectly hydrating. The DJ does the usual DJ things -- occasionally cuts a song too early or drops something you are not feeling -- but overall the music selection works and keeps the energy up. I would not come here for a quiet meal. The environment is not built for that. But as a place to gather with friends, celebrate something, and have a genuinely good time, it is a solid local gem.

Came here for happy hour. They had mandated that you order minimum of 8 wings per flavor. My party couldnt finish the wings so we asked to take it to go. First server tells us a Togo box is $3, then he ran off, the second server tells us oh you can't take these to go, then also walks off. Why do you, as the restaurant, get to dictate if I take my food to go so that I don't waste it? This is also in addition to: ranch, blue cheese, celery, which usually comes wings, are ALL $1 additional a piece. Management need to get their shit together before this "what used to be" place become a "well that's not there no more".

I always had a great experience here so I knew I could trust them to cater such a significant event. First, Kathy, who I exchanged multiples emails with, was always very quick and informative whenever I had any questions. She let me come by the day before to drop off the party decor and other belongings which helped a lot. The two servers/bartenders, whose names I forgot to get, were the absolute sweetest and very efficient throughout the whole event. All the guests complimented the food and left with a full stomach. 100% recommend this establishment for a date night, girls night out or a private event!

Known for delicious dessert, matcha, and unique lattes!…read more Upon searching for another matcha place in Flushing, I happened to stumble across The Duo Coffee. There are plenty of seats but during the weekends they fill up quickly. I would just recommend coming in earlier. Really enjoyed their strawberry matcha latte and banana latte. The matcha had a strong creamy flavor that complimented the strawberry flavor very well. Judging from the color, it was definitely a decent quality matcha. The hot banana latte was not too sweet and really impressed me with the taste. It wasn't artificial and was very comforting on a colder day. I also tried the oolong tea cheesecake. The texture was moist and the perfect density for a cheesecake. While the tea flavor was light, I would get it again. Excited to try out their other drinks, they also have a selection of desserts like the tiramisu that will sell out quickly.

So a little walk necessary from the subway but worth it for the espresso drinks ands space to work. Upon arrival I was able to be nut order with the cashier. I decided on the black sesame latte and the peanut butter & banana sandwich. I wish they had a little more savory choices. While I waited I sat at the communal table to work. During the weekday is a great space to work. The wait is minimal and I received my order quickly. The latte was excellent! The espresso was smooth and therefore paired well with black sesame. The sandwich was good but nothing special. Great cafe but more savory selection.

You get a card (I need to take a picture to post) you can load money on. I need to confirm if there's an expiration date on the card (don't believe there's one), when I return. You'll select your glass, wash and chill it... tap your card on the beer you want and pour (Please tilt your glass 45 degree and let it pour down the side of the glass, half way down for a lovely pour). I don't play pong but it was entertaining watching the others play. There's a large karaoke room upstairs with it's own bathroom. There's a bar towards the back, but it's more for simple drinks like may favorite, Jameson and Ginger. Also, ordered drinks at the bar towards the back but they had to take my card (not the beer card) to the front register to process payment. In all, I had a fun time and will return.
