    With its launch announced in late 2019 and meeting with understandable challenges (what with the pandemic and all), I was delighted this weekend to see that, at long last, Nemo's Beer Shop is open for business! Granted, Forest Hills NYC does offer a variety of pubs and drinking establishments, but one ENTIRELY and seriously devoted to the fine craft of beer was long-desired and sorely needed. The space is on the small side but comfortable, focusing on the practical: a few tables, a bar (with 8 local beers on tap available in 5oz tasting portions as well as 8/12/16oz draft), and several refrigerators along the wall sporting an impressive array of approx 60 locally-brewed beers, along with a small variety of local snacks (pretzels and jerky), with just enough tables and counter-space to accommodate a outing with friends or one simply wishing to grab a solitary drink in passing. While this may be my sole and subjective bias, but what was personally appreciated was the absence of a television and an overly noisy and obnoxious "sports bar" atmosphere -- as if the owner deliberately intended on cultivating an establishment (true to its name) singularly devoted to the appreciation of beer itself and the comradery to be found among those who appreciate such. Welcome to the neighborhood Nemo's -- Five stars and well-merited! I can easily envision myself a regular patron.

    Sometimes less is more. Where you don't have a dozen TVs competing for your attention, rowdy groups, and trying to be everything to everyone. Enter Nemo's and you've entered a beer oasis. Independently owned and operated, focused on a good variety of beers, with a sizable canned beer cooler for even more choices. Super friendly owner pouring drafts, small but comfortable space, and customers that appreciate the vibe. We started conversations with two other tables off the cuff. It's that kind of place. Definitely my new favorite watering hole in Forest Hills. Please support local businesses, it's a gem!

    If You're looking For a great place to drink great beer with great people this is where you should go. If you're some self-absorbed entitled piece of shitt ...stay away. No cornballs.

    I live in Forest Hills and I've been to this place a few times in the last few months with some friends and let me tell you their beer doesn't taste any better then a cheap beer or ale from the 99 cent store. I really don't like to write bad reviews to businesses especially with the pandemic and how bars/ restaurants are struggling to make ends meet today, but I really have had it with this so called owner that was beyond rude to me after I stopped by and used the restroom. I have come as a customer a few times and really needed to make an emergency restroom stop. Since I had patronized his establishment before, I didn't think it would be a big deal to quickly use the restroom. When I got out of the restroom the owner was very rude and nasty to me, telling me to never come back to his bar. I asked him why and he said because I wasn't spending money and that my type shouldn't be allowed to come to his place. I was appalled at his behavior and attitude and told him I will gladly not ever return.

    Love this place! We were so happy to see it open after a long wait during the pandemic. They have a great rotating tap list of local beers and a great refrigerator section with cans... a nice mix of unusual stuff and the good local stuff like KCBC and Finback. Nice laidback place to grab a beer in the neighborhood. Cheers to Nemo's!

    Cuisine: 9 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 Just a really solid local bar to enjoy some good food while watching a game. 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. During playoff season, I have come watched games while enjoying their offerings. It's never too busy, which makes it perfect for me. This little craft bar is definitely a hidden gem and I'm happy by me.

    We stopped in on an early Monday evening, and there were just a few other customers. The space is…read moreon the smaller side, and our server was friendly enough. We each ordered a draft beer (nice perk with $2 off during happy hour), along with the classic double smash, plus a side of fries and onion rings. The burger was quite greasy, but otherwise enjoyable. It had good flavor and nice crispy edges, though I wish there was more of the house burger sauce, I could barely taste it, and that's usually what gives a burger its signature. The fries and onion rings were both excellent, fried to a perfect crisp. Overall, I'd come back and try more items on the menu.

    Beer good Good good…read morePeople good And the allow dogs. What more can you ask for? Really though, there's a wide selection of beer both local, to micro brewers, to foreign. The food is Korean centric pub food. From fries, to burgers, nachos, pasta, bossam, etc. And the people are all so nice. We always come with our dog and they always bring water for him, and we go enough so they recognize us when we come in. Of course though we stay in the outdoor dining area, which is covered during the colder months. But even then, they turn in heating for us when we are out there while every other patron are dining inside.

    I like going here mainly because of how late it stays open. I also like how spacious it is inside…read moreand apparently there's board games? But I cannot confirm that. The food itself is pretty good. I liked the pasta and the pork belly dish. The fried were ok. I also tried the nachos and really liked the cheese for it's subtle taste however I was not a fan of the rest of it. For the price the portions are pretty small and not filling. 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!

    I could have swore I wrote a review for this place when it first opened. Coming here in the summer…read moreis by far the best view unless your looking at the Z hotel, which looks like poop hole! There's so many levels to this location. When its cold outside I recommend the seating in the corner, its a little room off to the side. They have outlets here as well as games to play. Unfortunately for last night's visit they just had scrabble which I totally crushed my friend in, when he reads this he is gonna laugh. The 5 or so times I been to this location there has always been totally good service. I believe one of my drinks last night was given for free, the bill didn't make sense. I did notice my server clicked on the 20% tab, I didn't mind I would have clicked that anyway. Sometimes I am too nice to people because most would have said something. :: bathroom alert:: Very clean bathroom. Use the first one on the bottom floor. The ada compliant bathrooms are very big, I appreciate that. The bathrooms upstairs have unisex hand washing. I just appreciate There's elevators so that elderly, mobility issues and people in wheel chairs can enjoy the view. In the winter upstairs does have a tent around it. The area can seem sus at night time. Take a cab home or walk with a friend is my tip. The food is pretty good. The nachos were just ok, I could have used more seasoning. The pretzel was really good as well. They used to have tacos on their menu I don't know what happened. Their fries are pretty good too. I'm not sure if they still do the pizza, they did when they first opened.

    Beautiful location, very bright. Excellent cup of coffee…read moreThe prices are on par with Manhattan Caprese sandwich and Caesar salad were good. Location is very clean and the employees provide great service I will be back
