    Blood orange margarita
    Sandra R.

    Such a sophisticated look and feel about it. It is perfect if you are going solo, on a date or hanging with friends. I ordered the pretzel and margarita, it was worth it. I enjoyed the happy hour from 5-7, which knocked a good amount off the drinks. I enjoyed how the server would come and check on me but was never pushy at all. The music was at the right level with great options playing. Will visit again.

    Beautiful, cozy and romantic place! Great for going out with the girls or taking a beautiful lady for a nice date night Cocktails were great, strong and perfect in flavour! The ambiance takes your breath away and feels like you are transported to a speakeasy

    OMG this place. Wow. Stopped here for a drink before dinner on Ditmars. Incredible location and inside so tastefully decorated. Our drinks and bartender were amazing!! Happy hour is also fantastic. What a great deal. Will absolutely be back. There's a new server (red hair) she needs to go elsewhere as she was clueless...!!!

    I wanted to check this spot out for the longest and so glad I did ! The vibes are unmatched live Jazz music that was actually good and not too loud where you couldn't have a conversation. They don't have a big food variety so don't come here hungry. For drinks and a Vibe check them out.

    This was such a nice bar with great drinks. We made it in time for happy hour and there was even an impromptu swing dance class in the back. We had a great experience during our New York visit.

    Great vibe - low romantic lighting, comfy seating, and music playing. The service was nice and the servers were helpful in selecting cocktails. We loved the Singed Tulip and Espresso Martini. Both were well crafted and presented beautifully. Check out the updated menu as of November 2024 is in my post.

    What a perfect modern yet classic loungy speakeasy. Such great vibes along with impeccable cocktails, great music playlists and the servers really do care and put forward their best effort. Hands down one of the best outside of Manhattan.

    Really Wanted to give 3 star but feel bad to the business so I'll give 4 The oyster was so Bad it's not fresh and not good quality feel like it's been shucked for a couples of day before serving This is my first time here on Tuesday night 9/24/24 The cocktail was good like it's supposed to be I got the last word and paper plane ( basically classic ) Service was friendly but a little lack it's fine but it's would be nicer if they come to check about oyster quality I ordered Dozen of Oyster some of them I tasted with out lemon or sauce already tasted bad has some smell to it but some of them it's decent not good not bad but also no flavor anyway. Server didn't ask about how is was so I didn't tell them I was like whatever it's my dumb to order oyster at the bar not seafood places at 11pm Next time I come wouldn't order oyster for sure and keep in mind Credit card charging fee without notice or show in the bill ( not sure is they do I don't think so I think I checked ) Anyway it's would be nicer if they tell me so I'll pay cash Credit card charging is not customer responsibility to pay it's restaurant business so please keep in mind

    Came here and got the bean dip to start. Vibes here are on point the place is very nice. Service was prompt and server was good. Just note the bean dip comes with very few veggies and chips so you won't be able to finish it with the amount they give and they charge extra for more. The bees knees drink was very good and was the perfect drink to relax with. If I'm back in the area I'd stop by again

    A night out strictly for drinks. Love the vibe. Decor is beautiful. Love a dark atmosphere. Drinks were delicious. The Penicillin. The Last Word. Moscow Mule. We stuck to these drinks throughout our rounds. Server was sweet and attentive. We were able to sit comfortably and catch up without background noise. I'd imagine this would be a chill blind date night place or a romantic evening for two.

    I found myself at The Last Word the other night for a colleague's going away gathering. I really like Astoria, but don't find myself in the area as often as I would like. Hence, I was looking forward to trying a new place in the neighborhood while also catching up with my friends. I looked up the place before arriving and saw that it was a cocktail bar, so it seemed like a place that was really up my alley. The Last Word is located on Ditmars, among a number of other businesses. Walking in, you're immediately greeted by a smallish vestibule with some seating areas, but the space is actually quite large and as you keep walking you notice how roomy it actually is. There's a large bar to the left that serves as a focal point, and a combination of booths and chairs that fit a variety of party sizes. The aesthetics were typical of a cocktail bar/lounge: low lighting, warm colors, and an almost vintage aesthetic; it all worked really well. The menu had a good variety of cocktails as well as beer and wine. Additionally, they had a variety of small plates and snacks. We had three rounds, and I was able to try their spiked hot cocoa, sidecar, and junglebird. All three drinks were quite good - my favorite was the junglebird for both flavor combination and aesthetic reasons. The spiked hot cocoa was also a standout, stronger than I expected but good nonetheless. We also got a lot of snacks: garlic and white bean dip, two flatbreads, bruschetta, a Belgian warm pretzel, anticuchos (beef skewers), empanadas (combo of beef, pork, and cheese), a charcuterie board, and the TLW party of two which was kind of a sampler tower. All the food was tasty - I wouldn't call anything a destination worthy, but it was all good quality and perfect to nosh on between sips. Service was awesome, and really what pushed this experience into the 5-star tier for me. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the host (whose name escapes me - I wanna say Lucas but can be totally off) who really set the tone for the entire night. Our server was also really great, on top of everything and made sure that we were always taken care of. Overall, I had a great experience at The Last Word. I was feeling the vibe, they had great drinks, and excellent service; I would definitely return.

The second time, we had to deal with stupid bouncers or security guards before being let into their bar/pub. That's a huge turnoff for me, and it's only worth it for strip clubs and concerts. Sweet Afton is a hip Irish-style pub known for its craft cocktails, extensive beer selection, and upscale pub fare. It has a cozy interior with exposed brick and a sought-after outdoor garden area that is enclosed in the winter.  A few of their menu items include "Astoria's best burger" (using Pat LaFrieda beef), the Dirty Pickle Martini (featuring McClure's pickle juice), and beer-battered fried pickles. I learned that they have a sister pub called the Bonnie in Ditmars, which I have been to and had a great time. Last Saturday I came back for a third time. I was surprised at how things had changed; much more laid-back, with good customer service, good vibes, and one of the most delicious bar burgers I have ever eaten, with a side salad, in any pub or establishment in Queens. Furthermore, Sweet Afron had some nice alternatives to bear and larger, and I selected a cider instead. First, I was offered a sip, and then, upon my approval, a full glass of cider. In conclusion, I do plan to return!

The sauce was just how I like it, not too sweet and just right. The steak was tender and I devoured it right up. I also enjoyed the green sauce that they put on top of fries.

He even took my godsister's margarita without her noticing, even though there was some left. I'd understand if they needed the table back and wanted us to wrap up but the dining room was pretty empty. Cleaning up aggressively while we're clearly still eating just makes an unpleasant experience.

She was the absolute best with everything; coordinating my event, texting, emails, calls and meetings to go over the menu and all the details, and demonstrating the space/rooms we rented. This WHOLE experience was top notch! I held my daughter's first birthday/baptism dinner here last month with about 30 of closest friends and family. It couldn't have been more perfect. First off, my event was from 4-7PM but thankfully they allowed the decorators to come way before hand to setup, I was also able to stop by the morning of to check on everything. They had custom menus on all the tables. Everything came out exactly how I had envisioned it! The food was amazing ... as always; I have been coming here for yearsssss. And the service was great. They were super attentive and always available when I needed them. I could not have asked for a better place to have such a milestone event for us. Again thank you Savannah and to the whole team at Blend for making this day unforgettable!
