    Wagyu beef burger - AWESOME
    Kathy C.

    We wanted burgers and had been meaning to try Tavern 157. Was a quiet night, we didn't know what to expect but it couldn't have gone better! Possibly the best burger we've ever eaten out, definitely the best in a very long while!! Exquisite meat, great char, cooked perfectly, every bite was delicious. The fries and onion rings on the side were delish, hot and not greasy. We had two burgers and shared a few beers, left very satisfied. The place is nice, has a great atmosphere, our server was working solo but never showed stress, did a great job. Will definitely go back. Recommend!

    Sangria, sooooo delish! - A textured glass filled with red sangria, garnished with lemon, lime, and cherry slices, on a wooden table in a restaurant setting.

    It's time to update the review as I feel like Tavern 157 just keeps getting better. The drinks are fire. The menu is on point. I really like sitting at the bar and getting a drink, but also give me their charcuterie board any day of the week. What makes this spot is the decor. It's quite interesting. It's almost giving medieval. The drinks are creative and delicious. The blood orange mojito and the yuzu drink (not sure what it's actually called) are my favs. I love taking friends here that I haven't seen in a minute. It's a great place to catch up or even take a date too. Come to think of it, I don't think I've had a full meal here. We only come for the drinks and the apps because the apps themself are delicious. Standby for a review about one of their entrees.

    It's been a while since the last time i dined at tavern 157! So glad to be back here again. Everything we ordered not only they looked good , they tasted good as well. The service was on point and the ambiance in the restaurant is Amazing! The oysters stole the show as we had almost 2.5 dozens of them . They were so fresh and sweet !

    Came to Tavern 157 on a weekday for dinner and did not have a reservation but did not have any issues getting seated. The restaurant is located in an area of flushing with a good amount of street parking. The vibe of the place was so nice with large open windows to the street and we were able to get a seat by the window; felt like we were sitting outside but without being burnt by the sun. Our waiters were very nice and efficient. The menu was tapas-focused, but also had several nice entrees. We mostly got tapas and also got lobster risotto to share and everything was delicious! We also go the creme brûlée and lava cake for dessert and both were very good as well. This was a fresh place to go in flushing amongst all the Asian food; so if you are in the area but looking for something unique outside of Asian good, this is the perfect spot!

    That is the burger I received supposed to be Angus beefburger with smoked bacon, pickle and truffle fries, no truffle fries,

    What happened to the restaurant?it's used to be good, I ordered burger with bacon and truffle fries, that's what I received, disgusting

    Ordered sooo much for such a good deal! For apps we got the seafood bisque, fish tacos, crab & spinach dip, and truffle fries. The crab & spinach dip was my favorite and my family really enjoyed the truffle fries! The seafood bisque was average but it was good and the fish tacos were pretty worth it because they give a decent amount of fish! As for entrees we got the tavern157 burger which was pretty good and the squid ink pasta and braids short rib & bone marrow which were my favorite! You have to get the squid ink pasta! Loved their playing as well. Highly recommended!

    lovely ambiance

    I celebrated my birthday here with a total of 12 people. From the get go of making reservations the staff were kind and respectful. The day of they took care of my cake and listened to my approach on how i wanted presented. There was a total of 2 people working. Who were both quick, on their feet, and well mannered. The drinks came out quickly despite being 12 people and one person working the bar. The appetizers were delicious, appetizing, well served, and honestly picture worthy! the entrees were great not too much to choose for but each were delicious and had variety for everyone. The best part was that all 12 entrees came out together at the same exact time, so no waiting for one another. Overall the ambience was great for any occasion. 5 stars and nothing less such an amazing place and couldn't be happier with my decision of this place.

    Good food and ambiance. A bit pricey but good unique food. Service was good. The octopus was our favorite. Definitely recommend it. Popcorn chicken was also good.

    A plate of fried cauliflower with greens and a side of dipping sauce, a plate of fried chicken with sauce, and a glass of beer on a wooden table.

    Absolutely loved this spot. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. The food was fantastic far beyond typical bar fare and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. You can tell they put real care into both the service and the menu. Highly recommend if you're after great vibes, delicious food, and genuinely kind people. We'll definitely be back.

    On point

    Potion 9 & Yuzu Lemon
    Christina L.

    Quaint bar with laid back vibe. We had the octopus and cauliflower tapas and the lobster risotto. Everything was delicious. Service was friendly and frequent enough that we did not feel like we had to work to get attention. It was a fun date night and I would stop in just for the drinks.

    Came here for dinner with friend from Singapore. The ambiance was enjoyable like an old library with book stands, stairs, stools, and tables. The lighting was dim enough to project the library feeling too. Seamless integration I checked in with Yelp and i claimed free fries offer. Pretty generous on the fries I ordered a burger cooked medium rare. It was alright. I had better burger elsewhere tho... It was a cold night so I ordered hot water to warm my hands. I saw dust particles at the bottom of my cup of water, it seemed the cup wasnt properly cleaned. I ordered another cup of water, and it also came with particles in the bottom as well. Twice was enough. They need to clean up their dishes properly, cant believe it happened twice! : (

    Is this restaurant good for a child?

    I don't see why not. They have sitting benches by the front. I'd say go! It's an intimate vibe-type setting.

    I'm wonder if they have any bottomless options? Or unlimited drinks on the weekends?

    No they do not.

    Do they serve regular menu items during brunch?

    I don't think so.

    Do they still have the happy hours?

    Yes

    Is there outdoor dining option available?

    Not anymore.

    How is the parking at night?

    Parking isn't too bad. You're gonna be in the residential area but across the street usually has open parking. I usually don't find any parking spots on Tavern 157's side.

    No they sell wine and beer only

    How's Sunday brunch here?

    AMAZING. I love their brunch menu items and their mimosas!

    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.

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!

The trooper I am, I went there with them with intentions to only drink and see what the hell they were talking about. They give you green tea with your bottle of hen which is delicious and reminds me of Hong Kong! I was SUPER uncomfortable, but once I started drinking it was a-ok! So there's different rooms and there's these paid girls dress in scandalous clothes walking from room to room drinking with whomever pay to go in the rooms. There are a bunch of older men groping these ladies but who's to say anything? The girls look happy! Overall it was pretty entertaining to see how the night progressed! Some girls left with the guys, other guys left with each other and there's bartenders eating meat on skewers!

The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

My only thing is the food option is limited and it's more pub finger food. Definitely would eat dinner somewhere then make a stop here for a drink.

There were two young ladies standing behind the bar but no one greeted us. We stood by the door for maybe 5 mins before we were acknowledged and asked if we wanted to sit a table or the bar. It took another 10 mins or so before WE had to ask for a menu. After that, the young lady that served us was good and personable. The ambiance in here is pretty chill. They had a DJ that played a good mix of music. They also have a bunch of games like jenga, giant uno, connect four etc. They have happy hour M-F 4-7pm. $5 shots, $8 rum punch and margaritas (+ $1 per flavor), and $10 L.I.T, $10 wings & fries and $12 shrimp & fries (+ $2 per flavor). Drinks: We did the margaritas which are $8 +$1 for flavors. We had the passion fruit, mango, and raspberry flavors. Passion fruit was my fave, mango was a tad bit sweet but when I asked the server to add a shot to fix it, she did. Food: we had the lemon pepper and buffalo wings and fries. The wings were good but the lemon pepper flavor was light and just sprinkled on. The crab legs were really good! It's cooked in a curry sauce, I just wished they actually served it in the sauce. I had to ask for melted butter. We weren't really hungry but from the few things I had, it seems their food is good. I would go back to try some more menu items.
