See all

I had the best experience here, on my first visit. It was fun and safe, we hardly felt like we were dining during a pandemic. Tables were spaced properly and everything was cleaned. Our server, Skip went over the top to make sure we were taken care of. I was amazed by how he anticipated any need we had and met it x 100. From waiting for a table to accommodating a large group safely, he made it his priority to take care of us and because of his upbeat attitude even though he was up to his ears with serving a whole restaurant, he did it joyfully. He even delivered gum with our food when we hesitated to order something for fear of breath aftermath ! Who does that?! Skip does and because of him we are coming back. Thanks for the great experience Icon! read more

I had a wonderful evening at this place. Karaoke on Thursday night with Nicole was so much fun. The bar was so lively. Dakota and Marcelo both gave me the best service while being slammed at the bar! If you're in NYC come to this place! It's so fun and inclusive! read more

Every time we are in Astoria to visit Midtown Comics Outlet Store we make sure to stop at ICON as we head back to the subway for our trip back to Manhattan. We love it here! We ha e only been coming since the Pandemic... so we have only ever been 'served' outdoors... but it is such a warm and inviting place , we don't mind it being a chilly day in January! We are always treated so well... especially on our 35th Anniversary! I swear... we adore this place! read more

My favorite gay bar in Astoria, hands down. Everyone is welcome. Great bartenders with a heavy pour and great hosts and djs on the various nights. If you're in Astoria, you should absolutely make this a priority stop! read more

One of the best bars I've went to in a while! The people are great to be around, the events are amazing to see and be apart of, and the Bartenders are the absolute best! Skip, Dakota, and Steven bring the whole place to life and are one of the main reasons I look forward to coming back. If you are in the area, it's a must to go and enjoy an Icon night out! read more

Hello All- I recently went to ICON and it was Sinful Saturdays with Dj Scotty Rox ( He had all the hits playing ) and I must say it was alot of fun. It was a great night of good music and the crowd was full of good energy and fun. With not much to choose from in Astoria it was nice to be able to go to ICON and have a good time. The night was very mixed and got pretty busy later in the night so, I would say check it out for sure. I am a fan of what the new owners have done and how friendly and interactive the bartenders are to all patrons. My intention was to stay for a drink or 2 and ended up staying alot longer ... As the patrons were conversating and interacting outside of their groups which was a nice change compared to many bars you can go in NYC. This reminded me of old school fun and a neighborhood vibe!!! Good Luck ICON and keep up what you are doing. read more

Good drinks and and even better staff. Skip brings the party, but also makes sure we follow all the rules during these "unprecedented times." My heart will always go on for Icon! read more

Icon Bar - My favorite place to watch my favorite movie -- just make sure you bring a tape player. - Gay Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Marcelo is amazing, kind, and always goes out of his way to make you feel at home. He and Avante Garbage are a good combo behind the bar any night read more

Maybe if the bartenders would spend less time talking between them or with every moving soul and more paying attention to the people trying to order drinks this place would be nice, but it takes for EVER to get a drink here read more

Customer service is absolutely outstanding I love all the bartenders and it's just an amazing place to let loose and have fun.

omg! Came in on a Tuesday and Filup and sherry were so welcoming to me as a trans person!!!! An amazing bar for everyone under our rainbow!! Spread the word about this incredible space!!!! read more

Pedro was amazing. He supplied me with plenty of napkins after he flooded my basement.

First time here! Nicole is an amazing karaoke host here!!!Love the atmosphere here!!! Will definitely be coming back!!!

I went there last night with my friend around 11pm.. I won't lie when I say the bar itself is great, the patrons and customers where also nice and friendly.. My terrible experience occurred with this fucking bartender behind the bar.. I don't remember this asshole's name.. Alls I know is that he was bartending in the front end of the bar when you come into the bar or near the "Queens Corner".. Those of you who go there would know what I mean when I say the Queen's Corner.. When I went to get a round of drinks for my friend and I, I am standing there with my $20 bill in my hand at the bar waiting for him to help me.. He looks right at me, and instead of helping me he decides to talk for few minutes to these guys that were sitting at the bar.. After he decides to get his rude ass to come help me, I told him what I want, he gets me what I want, I pay for my drinks, and wait tor him to give me change... I happen to shave my hair and I wear my head bald.. But what he did next was pretty fucked up. He looks over to the people near the bar that he was talking to earlier and he starts fluffing his hair towards my direction, pushing it back and forth and smirking as if he was mocking me for having not having hair and having bald shaved head.. I looked at him and I told myself whatever, I am not going to let this dickhead ruined my night.. Later on I go back to him to get another round of drinks.. I ordered the same round of drinks for me and my friend and I give him money, he gives me back change, everything the same as before.. I ordered Stoli Blueberry vodka on the rocks with a twist of lime just like I had done for the earlier round of drinks.. But this time instead of filling up the glass towards the top he fills it up way below what is supposed to be. I politely tell him excuse me but can you fill up my glass for this drink a little more to the top the way you had done earlier.. He comes out of his face and rudely tells me "do not ever tell a bartender how to prepare a drink"! I told him excuse me, you just prepared this drink for me an hour ago and you filled it up to the top of the glass.. If you want me to pay more I'll do it but clearly the glass isn't filled to the top.. Instead of adressing me he decides to go and talk to people on the other side of the bar laughing and mocking me. My friend and I were like what is wrong with this guy? I feel the reason why he was being such an asshole with me was because I'm not white. He was being racist.. I am Puerto Rican-American.. And it is not as if I am dark-skinned because I am not. I am light-skinned and also my friend happens to be white and German.. Maybe he thought that I was Muslim or Middle Eastern or a terrorist because of my bald head shaved look.. Whatever his reason, he was very fucking rude to me. And rude to me right from when I first went to him the first time like I had explained earlier here.. I will go back to this bar, I will not be dissuaded by this bartender's dumb ass attitude because all in all this place is a fun bar to go to.. But if I have to deal with this dick once again and he treats me the same way, there is going to be a big gigantic problem there..You best believe so! To the owner if this bar, I say hire better bartenders and for sure definitely nicer ones! read more

Eric was the face of Icon. He made my friends and I feel like home each and every time. I am devastated that he's no longer there. I've been coming to Icon since 2016, this year it will go from 5 stars to 1 without him at the front door. read more

Staff are masked and doing their best. Door is open so the space is well ventilated.

Great place in Astoria excellent drinks Pedro the bartender is super nice and cool he's the best

Nice atmosphere and good shows. The music was the best part of the night.... felt bad for the doorman- he looked cold

Had such an amazing time here yesterday. The drag shows are super fun and awesome. I loved it.

Best gay bar in the area. Chaz and skip are the absolute best. Drag shows almost every day of the week with perfectly priced drinks and a great space. read more

I'm visiting this bar for the first time and it's super fun and the staff is so chill and nice!!! A must visit when In queens!

Was visiting New York again and this time staying in Queens and we didn't want to go far and randomly came upon this bar. So worth it. We had a super fun time, the music was great, DJ was great and the performer before was so fun. I'm not a big dancer but the party vibe was great throughout. Ready to move to Queens! read more

So fun!! Definitely best bar in LIC. Stephen is the best bartender! He is a certified cutie with a fucking great personality. His shirt #rugrats made my life. I'll come here forever. Best customer service ever. Did I mention he's hot af??? read more

Accidentally stumbled in here and I am SOOO HAPPY that I did. My friends and I had been talking earlier how we've always wanted to see a drag show and my one friend is obsessed with RuPaul's Drag Race. The stars aligned on a Friday night and I saw an ad to see Jan Sport perform a show. We were so excited! The greeters and bar tenders were super friendly. I've never had such good service at a bar - we were always checked up on and the drinks kept coming! Anyway, Jan Sport just made our night so much better. So much talent and entertainment! I highly recommend going here for a great drinks and an awesome time! read more

Icon plays the best beat in the area and the service right on point. They are 100% covid compliant and encouge mask wearing.

So happy the indoor venues are open again and I got to come back to my favorite gay bar. Dakota and Danny are some of the most inviting and welcoming people in Astoria. The bar is also arranged to accommodate for social distancing and they are taking all the necessary precautions when people enter. So on top of being a super nice place to hang out it's also safe during these crazy times. Highly recommend to anyone! Love love love it here! read more

Great little place. Drinks are well priced and bartenders are very cool. The place is not as dark as I'm used to. You're not going to be deaf by the end of the night. Place is clean including the bathrooms down in the basement. Would definitely hang out here again. read more

Stephen is such a funny attentive inclusive bartender. The drinks are so big and strong And the performers are top notch. Go JANSPORT!!!! read more
