Like no other. When you think about places like NYC, the big appeal (imho) is the immediacy of things. If you want great art, you've got it. Great theater, you've got it. Great food, you've got it. Great music..... in spades. Terraza7 is maybe one of the greatest places you could visit in NYC. It's a music hall like no other, simultaneously offering some of the best music in a unique and intimate setting. They have a downstairs and an upstairs. I was recently here to listen to some Afro-Peruvian jazz. What a phenomenal time. I felt truly blessed to experience such magic. The music and talent were genius and what enhanced everything is audience interactions. If you're in the area, I genuinely feel like you have a responsibility to go and experience it for yourself. It'd be criminal not to. If you're not in the area, make plans to go. read more

A gem. Amazing performance in an intimate setting. The perfect authentic New York experience.

Terraza 7 is a local business located between Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, with live music that varies every night, sometimes outside, sometimes on the second floor. The bar is small inside, but they have a great patio within summer and make a great attraction for nice drinks and a few bites while listening to live music. The staffs are super friendly, attentive, and careful to make sure that you are happy and have everything you need. The drinks and beer options are great. The food has a great tapas option to share, while you enjoy the live music the drinks but unfortunately will not recommend this place for dinner because there not a that big portion or heavy meal. Overall is a great place to have a nice beverage while listing to a live band. read more

Small and awkwardly designed space, but they make function. They have outdoor seating area. However, we were there to see a group perform. They have limited seating so we were stuck in the main floor looking at a screen while hearing them live above us. We had beer and tapas. Cider chorizo and a cheese platter which for both I was pleasantly surprised they were delicious. The group tool pity on us and performed downstairs, this was my best part of the night! Will return, for beers and entertainment. read more

Food was amazing and I LOVE the Iced Chocolate -- not too sweet and lighter than a milkshake. Really nice ambience. Very intimate inside and comfy outside. They usually have some live music too. Service was nice and pleasant. read more

If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, you can't go wrong with Terazza 7. I have been coming here for the last 20 years, and although it has changed a bit, the essence has remained the same. Every time I come here I am amazed by the sheer talent of the musicians and bands that perform. From tango to flamenco to salsa to Afro-Colombian beats, you can find it all here! Terazza 7 also takes the experience to the next level with its decibel meter, projector and cultural events (including literature readings). It's a great way to learn and appreciate the local talent while having a great time. I can't think of a better way to spend an evening than to come here and soak in the atmosphere. In a world full of sameness, this place is a rare gem. It's one of the most special places in the city, and it's a place I hope never disappears. I can't think of a better place that offers such an eclectic and unique experience. Whether you're a music enthusiast or just looking for an evening of fun, this place is sure to leave you with a lasting impression. read more

Overcharge on drinks and service very slow. Can no longer go as one of the singers is obnoxious and talks too much politics. I am not alone in believing this. The owner needs to tell him to knock it off. This is simple: it's business and it is hurting the business. read more

It has a relaxed vibe. I heard you can make reservations in advance. I noticed it has live music. It has fun cool sounding drinks. I like the Cumbia Amazonica and the chocorevolucion (spelling?). It has good service. I like this spot for bringing out a large group. There is plenty of seating (outdoors). read more

Enjoying some outdoor drinks in Jackson Heights. @terraza_7 is one of my favorite places to listen to music and grab some drinks. I really enjoyed their new menu with new fun drinks and tapas.

I didn't have the food (see their menu online) because I had already eaten, but the ambiance is amazing! Just the coolest place with a mezzanine music venue - the accoustics are amazing and not blaring. We saw a hot hot hot Latin jazz combo with tap dancers including Max Pollack, who actually is one of six tap dancers who were honored with their own US Postal Service stamp!!! The first Sunday of the month from 6 to 8 (started and ended on time because there was another music group performing. A unique experience. It's an older building - I don't believe there is an elevator. read more

For those in the know, Terraza 7 (or Terrace 7) is one of the coolest venues throughout the borough. Somewhat hidden from the bustle of Roosevelt Avenue, this is an easy choice to enjoy a drink or two, while listening to some of the best live music available in the borough. The music is an interesting variable, as I've heard everything from Latin blues to obscure jazz. There isn't always music playing, but catch the place at the right night and it's more often popping than not. It also helps that this place is open every night till 4am. From a layout perspective, the space is quite interesting. The bottom floor is where the bar is, along with limited seating and the only bathroom in the venue. Upstairs is where a band would play, along with some tight seating surrounding the set. It is a pretty sweet setup overall and despite people walking above, there isn't any dirt flying into people's drinks below. Usually if there is an act upstairs, a cover may be enforced. I really appreciate the bartenders, who aside from being Spanish speaking friendly, are committed to keeping the drinks nice and stiff. They do make a killer mojito and a variety of other Latin based drinks, but their Cumbía Amazónica (pisco, kiwi juice, bitters, rosemary) from their specialties menus is a $10 drink well spent. Their Tierra Prometida (tequila, pomegranate, mint) is also a personal favorite. They also take credit cards now, which was not always the case. I've been told that depending on the schedule, this place is also a spot for literary events, film screenings, and community discussions. I appreciate the creative use of their space and the progressive mindset that is behind the operation. My only complaint if any, is the fact this place is uncomfortably stuffy during the warm weather months and the bathroom could use a cleaning every so often. I'll still be coming back and am looking forward to their next big event! read more

The music is great. The drinks were done correctly. What more can I say? It's a bar with a cover charge to sit in front of the band.

Well the service was ok , the ambient is nice !! But you need to take care more on the costumers !! It's hard to find a spot like this but could be better read more

This is my favorite late night place in Corona. No other place can I get live Jazz music for a $5 cover! The food is great and my partner loves it! Tip: come early to get a good seat and order some guacamole. You won't regret it. read more

Enjoyed lovely jazz music while catching up with friends over white wine sangria... what's not to love?!?

I visited Terraza 7 during a layover in NYC. Needless to say, music was great. People are friendly. The highlight of my visit was definitely meeting friendly Latinos. Somehow, regardless of your ethnicity, they make you feel like you belong. Terraza 7 is a true testament to the diversity in New York! read more

Overpriced! Why are they charging so much to see shows in this economy? The staff is great but the prices need to come down! Also not pleasant walking around area. read more

My poetic adventure finds me here at Terraza for "Jackson Heights Poetry Festival." This is not a cafe per se as it is a bar lounge for live music and poetic performances dive-y ish appeal for jam sessions of emerging artists. There is no food served here, thus I advise patrons/ music spectators to eat something before arriving here. Here lies a small suspended midair metal stage in a loft style on the upper level which depicts an illusion to be disillusion. It was rattling while I walked to the microphone and its crate floor base is surely intimidating as it does not feel secure. Yet Terraza houses good acoustic with a clear audible microphone without the annoyance of an echo for voice lag when propped on the microphone stand. Seating for spectators is three tier wooden bleachers of a high school gym and only one exit/entrance to this upper loft. The exit/entrance is a very narrow ill-advise configuration. On the lower level sits the bar and the bar tender is attentive to serving patrons with my Seltzer water at an utter dismay of $3.00. I believe there is Happy Hour available. There is one unisex facility which houses an eye sore male urinal and a pipe expose faucet with a broken hot left knob. The cold right knob is functioning but oblivious how to turn it on. read more

It's really imposible to get someone to answer the phone. No response. It's frustrating.

If I can give this place no stars I would. We called a head there was no problem. We entered the host told us to wait. We were greeted by the manager who looked at us. And said he can seat us, without a reservation. The place was empty. We simply said okay. Until we read the guidelines. It was a race thing we were black and shorts in the summer aren't apart of the guidelines. They won't make it long in the tourist area. read more

Truly a hidden gem, and perhaps the best way end to end an evening eating out in Jackson Heights. Tucked away on a small side street off of Roosevelt, Terraza 7 offers a cozy second-story loft with a reasonable cover charge for live music. The scene is vibrant, and the vibe and surrounding neighborhood make the Modelo on draft feel like the right choice here. I hope to return to take in more Latin jazz funk while perhaps sampling one of the inventive, fruity cocktails they have listed on their menu. read more

Jackson heights, my beautiful Jackson heights, where the diversity of all Latin-American people mostly reside. A special place with funky/unusual and fun amazing music. Its like being backstage on a pirate radio ship. You get to sit in the gantry! South American influence ,jazz and eclectic music, reggae, cumbia, salsa!!! They got it all!!! Amazing performances. read more

They have fantastic drinks and nights with live music (check their schedule). Live music has a cover fee but is pretty reasonable. Even though the place looks small when you first walk in, there are stairs to an upstairs area with seating and a small stage for live music performances. The staff are nice and the crowd is fairly diverse. This is such a gem to have in Queens! read more

Thank you yelp for taking me here. I was on my way to Las Margaritas when I decided to look on yelp and see if I can try something new. BANG! I saw Terraza. My boyfriend and I decided to detour and head here. Aren't we glad we did. As I walked out of my car and made our way over, we can here the wonderful sounds of jazz all the way down the block. I walked in and I felt as if I were somewhere in the Village. I definitely didn't feel I was in Jackson Heights anymore. I grabbed a "Coconut mojito" it was so good, and headed upstairs. They have a cover charge of $7 if you sit upstairs but it is and was Totally worth it. My BF was so excited since he is into music and his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. The wonderful sounds I heard were from Benito Gonzalez who is a an amazing pianist and his Bass and drum players were just out of this world. They won't be returning till June :/ You can feel The passion that poured out of their bodies. Very cool spot and I definitely will be returning. read more

"Terraza 7" is a bar and lounge. It definitely is different then any place I've been to before. The front door alone is beautiful. Nice wood and equally impressive color scheme. Walking in I noticed this place has two levels. It also had a live band playing so I thought that was a plus. The place didn't feel modern, but I guess that's what they were going for. I decided to goto the second floor and check out the band up close. I was immediately stopped by a woman, who was rude by the way and she wanted to charge me $12 to be on the second level. I told her no thanks and retreated back to the lower level. That almost made me want to leave, but the music and people made it hard. Plus the beautiful women inside. I hung around and was impressed with the selection of libations they offered. I'm not a drinker, but you can see they definitely had what people wanted. I sat at a tall boy table and enjoyed the music with my friend. No one was really dancing. But I had fun with some local patrons before heading out. I would come again, but bring more people because mostly everyone who came were in groups. It's definitely worth another visit. Who knows maybe next time I might fork over $12 to sit like a king on the second floor. read more

I am highly disappointed by this establishment. After reading the reviews I was excited to check this place out. I arrived with a group of friends, only to be approached by a rude female bartender. However, I did not let that ruin my night. After 30 minutes of waiting for our order, I asked how much longer it would be for the empanadas (which the bartender made sure to let me know were pre-packaged btw) and she informed she had not put in the order because she was not sure I actually wanted the empanadas. After letting her know that yes I wanted the order she started screaming at me franticly telling me it was my fault she had not placed the order before. I have never experienced such bad customer service before. The other two gentlemen who were behind the counter were kind enough to apologize for the situation. I will not be returning to this venue. read more

Fink learned about this place a while ago, but tonight, while I was starving for halal, Fink decides to come here for a drink for some Tuesday night celebrations. When we arrived in front of the place, I was hesitant...Don't be. I was shoved in and welcomed by a cool bartender. The music was to my liking, chill yet nothing short of interesting. Same goes for the decor. One second you're in south america chillin out in a tiny bar, next minute you feel the NY vibe with some Led Zepplin. And as for the drinks? Well, let's just say - 2 hours later with no intention of hanging out, Fink and I are having a great time..try the coconut mojito or the peach sangria...you can thank us later. Without a doubt this one gets both paws up :) Catch ya later! - mink n fink read more

Can't believe I've just now discovered this place after living in queens for over a decade. Live music as I was informed by one of the bartenders begins at 10:00pm with a second set beginning 15 minutes after the first set concludes. By 1:00am the band stops playing but the music continues. Stepping in here is like being transported to a Latin county, the vibe is festive friendly and relaxed. I tried the coconut mojito and WOW was it perfectly strong and sweet. Cannot wait to revisit. read more

been coming here for 10 years. kept it a secret, and the vibe is just that compared to nearby establishments, but over the past few years the word has gotten out so expect a crowd especially weekends. very different crowd here from what you'd see over at northern blvd too. awesome music, awesome drinks, awesome environment, awesome people, and awesome bar service. ricky and paolo have been there quite some time and provide excellent service. also, THEE spot, for world music. if queens represents the worlds boro... terraza is the analogous musical manifestation read more

Hidden gem in this neighborhood. My wife and I got here after a live performance one night I was disappointed we missed it because the crowd was still there and they looked like they just finished having a good time. Never the less we went in to this (two level amazingly decorated with Colombian culture) bar which played amazing music to keep you dancing a long with serving up some great cocktails. We will surely be back to catch a live performance. read more

Don't see the hype in this place. I've been here once in the summer but will not return. First of all it was at least 80 degrees and there was no AC! Second they need to tune up their prices, who pays $10 for house liqour cocktails in Jackson Heights? This isn't midtown. I understand it's a relatively nicer venue in the area but meh. Rather go to Ready Penny in the area it's cheaper, less packed, and have proper air conditioning. read more

The staff is amazing the drinks are great. My only complaint is that it attracts an awful crowd(hipsters). If you are okay to meet all the white people that build houses in Oaxaca and call you compa, you will 5 star this place. I also dont care for jazz or music with bongos, if you like those things you will 5 star this place. read more

Really glad I found this place through Yelp. Such a great place in Jackson Heights to hang out, enjoy great music, and have drinks. Love the playlist they put on after the live band left. Only wish I had found this place earlier. The bartender was really cool and offered me other options when he ran out of an ingredient that he needed for a drink I had ordered. The drink he gave me ended up being delicious. Definitely going to return. read more

Fantastic bar for so many reasons...I had amazing service, drinks garnished with orchids and the MUSIC was fabulous. Was a Moroccan musician named, "Brahim Frigbane ". He seemed to have a pick up band with a fantastic Indian violinist and the pianist was brilliant. We were only planning to have one drink but the music, drinks and bartender, Ricky were are spot on so we stayed well past the witching hour!:) I haven't discovered a place like this in years in NYC. Genuine top to bottom, in all the best ways. Thank you!! read more

Terraza 7 Train is a laid-back boho bar, just south of Roosevelt Ave, under the ever-atmospheric 7 Train tracks. While the clientele is largely Hispanic, the vibe is welcoming to all types of people. The pictures of Che Guevara and the funky décor give it a renegade character, while the artsy types who flock here (many Spanish speakers) transport a newcomer to a scene that is probably more akin to a trendy café/bar in Mexico City or Buenos Aires than an otherwise gritty part of Queens. Is Terraza the best bar to strike a chord with the artsy crowd east of Queens Plaza? Probably. Is it worth the trip from Manhattan or the other Boroughs? Depends on your level of adventure. What Terraza remains is a nice and friendly safe-haven in an otherwise chaotic stretch of peso bars and gay/strip nightclubs on Roosevelt Ave. If you are lucky, try to come on one of the nights where Terraza is featuring live music. Just don't sit too close to the stage (which is elevated on the rafters above the main bar). The place gets pretty loud - so loud that it even drowns out the rumbling of the near-by 7 Train. Quite an accomplishment! Added benefit: Terraza is literally on the same block as the mind-blowing Jackson Heights taco truck, Tacos Guicho. Combine the two for an amazing night out in the Boroughs. read more

So cute. So Queens. So hip. And so chill. Go here on your next date night or drinks with friends.
