    Melody Cafe. Steinway...or South Beach in Astoria.
    Freeyah-Knycky C.

    Melody Cafe was the main destination of my friends and I one evening...until we got on the Steinway strip and realized there's more....a whole lot more! Because of parking (use municipal car park on the side street), Melody which was supposed to be our first and only stop ended up being our last stop. Thank God. The bouncer was charming. Very. **Winks**. As we entered a male server was in rush to get us hookahs and drinks. We declined. Like slow down dude, we only JUST walked through the door. Twice he approached us, the second time he was a but snarky but oh well. The place was crowded even late on a Sunday night. There's an area for dancing at the back but this place seems to be solely focussed on hookah. We wanted to dance and even though we stayed a while their DJ/or system wasn't playing anything familiar or "make you wanna dance-ish" so we left. Will I be back? I'm sure there may be a time when they're the last place open on the Steinway strip, on that evening, that evening only, I may give it some consideration. But then, there's the bouncer. Hmmmm. The End.

    Sus hookah spot but prices are fine lol. I didn't really have to deal with the waiter since I was in a group but I remember being here one time and my beer took 20 minutes to come. Instead of garnishing my blue moon with an orange they used a grapefruit which I thought was a weird flex lol. Like what place has grapefruits but not oranges?

    NOT a favorite hookah/drinks spot in Astoria. There are better ones surrounding this establishment. If you are looking to spend wisely (or watch the game) yet enjoy good hookah, move on. This is not right for you. If you're looking for a lounge/bar-like environment and ready to drink, this is where you may want to be. Make sure to have FEMALES with you at the door or the bouncer will give you a hard time. The first time we entered the lounge, we had a mix of guys/girls but when two of my male friends stepped out for a smoke and tried to get back in, the bouncer gave them a hard time WHILE letting the females in. We had to go outside just to get the bouncer to let them back in...again. It's just a lounge in Astoria that's not exclusive or anything. Clubs in the city treat their patrons better than this.. don't try to compete. If you do, at least show potential customers some respect less it'll hurt your business. For a party of 6, our bill came to $178. (gratuity of 18% automatically added). I'm not even sure what makes up that $150 base considering we only had 2 hookah pipes, 7 beers (presumably $8 because 5 Stellas were $40) and Whiskey/Coke was $15 each. Hookah were average - however, did not last long. We had the coals changed twice yet the hookah was still weak in the end.. We stayed a max of 2 hours so it wasn't even that long. TVs were tiny.. We wanted to watch COPA games but the TV were so many it was hard to follow...There are definitely better spots nearby that cater toward sports fan and you'll probably be paying less. ISIS lounge and Rotana are right down the block with better service and hookah but no alcohol are served.

    They have their own money :)

    I came here on a late Sunday night since I apparently forgot I work on Mondays but it was totally worth it. They have very cheap drink and hookah prices. I was in shocked how packed this place was on a Sunday night and it became like a club. I was having such a good time that I end up staying until 330 am because the music and vibe was great. If you ever want to party during the week then this is your place.

    HH menu mon-thur after 8pm

    This place is great on weekday. They have DJ and happy hour prices every day after 8 pm. They have i think 6 margarita machine. Tried passion fruit which was not bad. Price is reasonable. Bouncers were friendly. Security in back too which is good. Good size dance floor and the place is huge so can accomodate large crowds. Party package reasonable price. I do def recommend this place for weekday. I haven't been here on weekend. Based on other reviews, it seems you may not receive the same service on weekend. I would be wary coming here with large group when crowded. It seems that they are quick to turn over tables to max out on busy nights based on other reviews. I would recommend owner informing customers and writing on menu a certain time limit on weekends when busy so customers are informed in advance and not surprised.

    Came to this Roxy's for a comedy show the place is a decent size with a nice size bar. Tables were…read morewell spaced out and they have a few booths also. They do have hookah available but it was not good! No good flavor, Tasted Burt right after a refill To drink I ordered a Cosmo to start and I did not like it at all. I ended up switching to bourbon for the night. I had 4/5 there was two girls one floor and one bartender when the floor girl decided to go behind the bar and make my drink which was two ingredients it was terrible, I didn't understand why it was bourbon and pineapple people should really stick to their position. I did see many people getting food and said it was good I myself didn't order anything. My friend however did have an issue about being overcharged on her bill and the same went for a few others.

    So I was in town for the weekend and my friend took me to this lounge/ hookah bar on a Sunday…read morenight. Sat at a table that was partial inside and outside with the views of the street... cool. The blackboard outside promoted a happy hour until 8pm on drinks so I got the mango mojito which was weak btw and not on happy hour price according to one of the bartenders that sign was meant for Monday- Friday which was very misleading. Ordered me some food which was good and decent priced. The music they played was good as well. BTW they already charge a 18% gratuity on your check which sucks. Also the bartender gave back the wrong change which I'm not sure why simple math is hard.
