    a bartender mixing a drink at a bar

    Best bar in Astoria, by far. Great drag shows, excellent bartenders, and immaculate vibes.

    Thursday night karaoke is lit. Lots of talent and energy here. Excellent host and bar staff who will make sure you will have a great time. Nicole Anadyme + Karaoke = Lots of Fun.

    Truly a great time!

    I've come to ICON a few times before but last night was the first time I was able to interact with the bartender. Filup was welcoming and engaging and made us laugh while watching Will & Grace. Filup, if you see this I want to thank you for showing us a great time. We got to see Freeda Kulo's last performance at ICON and she did not disappoint. Overall a safe space to enjoy a night.

    Belize was a FANTASTIC bartender and very knowledgeable about the queer community in New York and resources. What a pleasure to talk to- will definitely come back when in Queens again.

    The gay cheers of Astoria. The most welcoming bartenders, fantastic drag shows, and the least pretentious crowd in all of NYC.
