    This bar in Flushing is a good casual spot for drinks and small bites with friends. The interior is cozy, with lots of booths, and good service. My friends and I tried their Flushing Mule and Cucumber + Pepper (specialty cocktails) and they were pretty solid. We also got their fried pickles and truffle fries and I thought both of those were just okay. I wish they had a bigger specialty cocktail menu without so many dark-liquor or rum based drinks. Nonetheless, it was a good casual spot for hanging with friends.

    Very delicious burger and fresh fries. The Wildflower Theory drink was divine. My waitress, Lizz, was wonderful. She made great recommendations. The lighting was soft and the music was relaxing. Great decor. Definitely coming back!!

    Time and time again, IYKYK serves! Truly the best hidden gem in Flushing. It's tucked away from all the chaos and you really got to look closely to find it... speakeasy vibes. It's dark in there, giving a real sexy vibe. Bartender Kert and all the friends behind the bar really make the drinks nice and strong! Truly what I want whenever I'm at a bar. It's gotta hit me. And when I'm here... it always hits!! Some of the cocktails change with the seasons. This past summer they had an ube martini! And as a Filipina, I heavily approve of that ube martini. I'm looking forward to the warmer seasons again. But for now, the winter menu really popped off. The All I Want for Christmas and Santa's Tiki were IT for me!!!! And pretty for photos too. The food is also very good here. You've got to the DTF grilled oysters and burger... the truffle fries... and the popcorn chicken. Basically, don't skip on this spot when you are doing a Flushing crawl!!!

    A very swanky speakeasy cocktail bar, one block off Northern Blvd. The ambiance gives off a, chic and sophisticated vibe. There are limited high tops and banquettes for seating. However, the coolest spot is definitely a seat at the bar! That's where all the action is. Drinks are phenomenal here, each one more unique and pleasing to the senses. My favorite was the clarified Pina Colada type drink called the Velvet Moon. I highly recommend going during Happy Hour which is the best pricing around town. It starts at 5:30pm so grab a seat and enjoy. Not to mention the good eats. Snack sized plates, good for sharing if you're just doing a taste. It's like the pre-dinner or to accompany your drink list. Must try the crispy tuna rice and the lumpia - a twist on the classic, crab meat! And if you're a fan of oysters, do get the grilled oysters. So good. Cheers!

    Great new place in Flushing! Just off to the side, great vibes, great drinks and service. They have a creative rotating cocktail menu so I'll keep you guessing year round. Excited to come back for their winter menu in December.

    Was in the area for a conference and looking for a place to unwind after a full day of travel, this definitely checked that box. Came alone and had the smash burger, which was really solid. The Almost a Manhattan was fabulous.

    I came here to celebrate my friends bday back in October and we had the most amazing time!! It happened to be one of the workers birthdays too and they passed around some of his cake which I thought was so sweet. The hospitality and service was truly A+!!! We met a few of the workers and ah!! Everyone was so nice. It was such a nice environment and made the night so much better. We had a variety of cocktails and food to share. I got the kiss&tell and enjoyed that but all their cocktails were delicious. The small snacks were also enjoyable with our beverages. Cannot wait to come back here for a normal date night, girls night, celebratory night, anything!

    This is my second time here! Came for a yelp event and of course it never disappoints! Mac is the hostess with the mostest! He really takes pride in his business with the service and the food! Everything was delicious! The drinks a little strong for those that don't drink...lol! But they were good. I love the lighting and the music, a few chairs and tables because it's a small space, but it's so cute! I love it here! This has become one of my go to spots for good music, good food and good drinks...Just give yourself time to circle around the block for parking, it is flushing! 10/10, would definitely recommend!

    When we first arrived, I didn't expect the place to be that small--but it turned out to be really clean and nicely laid out. The booths fit around 4 people comfortably (maybe 5 if you squeeze in), and the cool Japanese-inspired interiors with masks were a nice touch. We tried mostly fried dishes. Starting with the lumpia--so filling and with a delicious Filipino twist! Loved it right away. Next was the coconut shrimp, perfectly crispy and even better with the mayo dip. The popcorn chicken was savory and satisfying, and the sliders were a hit--the bread was soft, and the meat was tender and juicy. Overall, such a hidden gem! I'll definitely be coming back.

    So I absolutely love this place. I'm so glad I went there last night. First of all Liz is an amazing bartender and Worker. I also want to say this is the cutest trendiest decor and it's everything right with Flushing Queens. My cocktails were to die for they were fun, inventive creative, and the food. There was all clean and delicious. I highly recommend every single thing that I got it was delicious. My drinks were delicious. My food was delicious. I also wanna say I checked my blood sugar and my blood sugar was not raised by anything. I ate here 10 out of 10 I'll be back.

    This is definitely Queens speakeasy gem tucked away in flushing! Beautiful and lovely decor. The service was excellent and was able to meet Mac who was very accommodating and gave us a complimentary cereal shot flight that was delish. I had the smash burger which was delicious and my lady and I shared the chicken popcorn thighs good seasoning! And the oysters fresh and delicious.I had the Carmel old fashioned that hit the spot and the lady at the lychee martini which she enjoyed as well. Overall, I will definitely be back here. Everything was 10/10!! Definitely come check them out!

    Happy Hour did not disappoint for sure. The space alone is beautiful and sexy for sure. The colors and the decorum alone is breathtaking. The staff was on point and very friendly the menu is short and sweet which I really enjoyed Now for the drink menu lol you have som choices The lychee martini please give me 3 those was on the nail so good I tried my friend coconut mojito and that was a DRANK you taste the coconut and mint really good.. the fried chicken 10/10 the truffle fries 7/10 (could b more crispy) the burger 6/10 (meat mixture wasn't my fav) the RAW oysters 10/10 (the fresh yuzu dressing) the DTF oyster 8/10 the lumpia 10/10

    Another Speakeasy in Queens. It's an intimate setting with dim lighting (phone flashlight to read the menu). We sat at a booth with the magnetic light bulb; intriguing. I arrived first and secured a booth across from the high tops for four. The waiter and owner/manager were engaging. We learned that they change the libations seasonally (sidepiece is a spring option). To accompany the libations of lychee martini, tropic thunder and flushing mule, we ate lumping, truffle fries and fish tacos (3 in a serving). We are on a Speakeasy tour and we aim. To return and even introduce others. IYKYK

Warning it can be pretty loud as I had to yell to talk to my friends. My main con and suggestion for improvement is the tables and chairs. The chairs are really small so it might not be comfortable for most. Also, our table was very wobbly so we moved to another one and that one ended up being wobbly too. I'm hoping they can change them as it will help the comfort of the guests. On a good note, I liked the service! The waitress was nice but I believe there was a busser who was attentive and respectful towards us!

When they first remodeled from a specialty sandwich shop to a craft beer pub, I was quite disappointed. Now I can't get my favorite chopped cheese or sriracha egg sandwich in the neighborhood anymore. However, I come to realize that having a dependable spot for an excellent burger is a pretty nice too. They do a great classic smash burger with a crispy crust and juicy beef. The toppings are always fresh and the bread is extremely fluffy. While the brioche bun is delicious, I may have a slight preference for the sesame seed bun of the Stack Mac. You really can't go wrong with any of their burger offerings. Obviously, a pub needs some tasty fried foods to go with their nice selection of craft beers. Thankfully, they do. The tater tots and onion rings are both really fantastic. Only thing currently still needs a bit of work is their chicken wings. Not bad for roasted wings, but I wish they were fried.
