Bartender was friendly and the drinks are unique.. tasty delicious. Comfy for setting and hanging out

Grandma Ida's martini was  spectacular. Froze  is delicious with fresh watermelon.

Service is great, they leave you alone and let you spend your time at your table which is wonderful. Went with my friend tonight she had the froze which is frozen rosé and fresh watermelon. Unbelievably delicious. I had the grandma Ida martini with blue cheese, stuffed olives. They were so good I had two. Best martini in a long time. We shared their homemade onion rings, which were spectacular. The crunch is out of this world. I did not care for the Sriracha mayo on the side. We then shared a Caesar salad, which was delicious lightly dressed and flavorful. And we shared a steak sandwich. The bread was terrific. The steak was slightly chewy in a few spots so was not overall the best steak sandwich I ever had. The menu looks great, especially for burgers and we would come back to try other things.

Bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich

This place is amazing. I secretly wish I could live here and just camp out in one the booths or maybe in the back garden. I've been here for dinner, brunch, and just drinks, and it's a great experience every time. The folks who work here are very friendly and hilarious, and the food is delicious. Their eggs Benedict are made with Irish bacon and could be the best I've ever tasted. And they have tater tots. :)

Inside

Ida's is a great local neighborhood spot and they know what they're doing here. I came through a few times and it's a cool spot to be at. It's kind of gives the "How I Met Your Mother" bar vibe, if you've ever seen that show. There is a shaded outside garden in the back so you can have a choice whether to be in or outside. I personally prefer inside because you can get a little lost with the service outside. Drinks are pretty good and the food is standard American. They serve food pretty late so if you want a late(r) night snack, the food's pretty solid. The staff is cool and friendly and the decor is pretty cool. The expresso martinis here are exceptionally GREAT! Note: There is no TV inside so if you're coming in to watch a game, this may not be the spot you want to go to. If however you just wanna chill at a spot with cool ambiance and not too loud where you can talk with your friends, this is a great go-to. Tip: There is a wheelchair-accessible bathroom upstairs and a few more downstairs!

One of my favorite bars in Sunnyside. The bartenders make some excellent cocktails and they're all reasonably priced. The vibe is intimate and cozy. They also have a great menu. I really like the burger there. This is a repeat place for me.

My group ordered the Riviera Paradise, Irish Bar Trick, and Pride N' Joy Beer & Shot Specials along with our burgers.

3 years later this spot is still one of my favorites in the neighborhood! Staff are always warm and welcoming. Cute outdoor patio the warmer months. Food is delicious and I love the variety of cocktails and draft beer. I love the changing hats and fits on Ida (one of my favorites is her summer bucket hat).

Irish Breakfast & Breakfast Burger
Ashley N.

Great brunch option in the neighborhood! The brunch menu is extensive, with many classic items as well as some non-brunch items like wings and chicken tenders. I'm picky about Irish breakfasts, and their Irish breakfast is hands down the best I've had in Woodside area in terms of taste, execution and portion. Brunch cocktails are reasonably priced ($10-$12). The overall place cozy and tastefully decorated, with very comfortable high top seats and booths available. Looking forward to coming back for brunch, other meals and also late night drinks!

I came here for brunch with my friends on a Saturday right when they opened at 11! The server was very kind and made us delicious drinks - we had Palomas and Prosecco. We each enjoyed our meals - I tried the fried chicken sandwich ( small but tasty) and my friends had a beyond in - n-out burger and a BaconEggAndChesse on a croissant. We all enjoyed the fries and jalapeño mayo dip. We evolved the comfortable booth to hang out a leisurely enjoy brunch. I would definitely return to this spot the next time I'm in Queens.

What better way to celebrate a friends birthday then with an amazing brunch... A few cocktails... And of course a chill establishment. The food was great: ordered the breakfast burger. The service was terrific too. Loved the wolf decorating the bar.

In addition they will send you about 5 reminders leading up to your visit. The last one being 30 minutes before your arrival. In addtion you only have 90 minutes at a table .

They were friendly and creative, making fabulous drinks, and on top of every drink order. The waitstaff matched that energy perfectly, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The food buffet was delicious, keeping everyone happy and satisfied throughout our time there. What really set this experience apart was that the owner was present the entire time, personally making sure everything ran smoothly. That level of care and attention made all the difference. You could feel it in every detail. If you're looking for a place to just have a drink, or eat a meal, Little Rascals in Greenpoint is the place to frequent.

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

The bartender, the one person who should be welcoming and engaging, came across as rude and lacked any charisma. On a Friday night, good energy behind the bar makes a huge difference, and that was completely missing. I ordered a margarita, which is one of the simplest and most common cocktails to make. I asked for it really sweet with plenty of salt on the rim. Instead, it came out barely sweet and with almost no salt. For a $17 margarita, I expected much better. I've had to return the drink because I've had better margaritas for $12 at other places. While waiting for my friend, I had to wait with a glass of water because I didn't trust the way they made the drink. The bartender told me I either needed to order another drink or move, which felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. To be fair, the food was good and the space itself is nice. However, the bar service left a very poor impression. There are plenty of more affordable places where the staff are friendly and make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. Give this place a 6.5
