Nix local place. Food is good. Drinks are reasonably priced. The only caveat I need to add is that this place is CASH ONLY. I never understood that policy as all monies are forms of payment. But it is what bug is PS- dog friendly as well!! read more

One of my favorite places in queens! Appetizers here are the BEST! Especially the fried ravioli and spinach mozzarella sticks. The staff is always so friendly and attentive, the drinks are so good. The place itself is a little small but very cute. You always have a good time here! read more

I always saw this bar near my house but never bothered to go there, until they opened up for outdoor dinning. They have a pretty good collection of beers on tap and and amazing Chicken Pot and Chicken Curry! Would go back again!! read more

I have lived in Maspeth 10 years I can honestly say the live oak has the best skirt steak and other food that we sampled at our table plus the service was ten out of ten.very surprised for a small Neighbour hood bar highly recommend this place check it out :) read more

Had a great afternoon at the Live Oak. The atmosphere is great and the food is absolutely delicious. From traditional dishes like the Home-baked Ham, spuds and turnips to the fabulous Beef Stew, and so much more. Always a huge hit. Thanks to Lorraine and the gang. We'll see you throughout this craziness and fingers crossed that indoor dining will resume very soon read more

Whyyyyy is this food so good? Sometimes I want like real restaurant food and I'm like ugh I don't wanna drive and then I remember that down the block, Live Oak's food is literally on a huge-chain-restaurant level but even better because it's like a cute little bar/restaurant in the middle of Maspeth so it's really uniquely made and unprecedented. And FYI the wings (get them dry with sauce on the side) are soooo crispy and good and if you eat them with the fried ravioli you'll prob just die happy immediately. read more

I had quite a bit of time to kill while waiting for work to be done on my car at Pep Boys, and spent the better part of the day walking around the area. the house that three generations of my family is a few blocks away from here so I was somewhat familiar with the area but appreciated the chance to see more. The Live Oak was fairly quiet - maybe two or three other patrons - around 12:30 on a Sunday, and the air conditioning was much needed on an unexpectedly warm day. I had plenty of time and thus committed to just one beer, a refreshing and citrusy IPA (despite having mostly given up on IPAs lately). so far as food, the Irish curry chicken called to me. a spicy, brown, hot mess - which is equally applicable description of yours truly - of tender chicken and onions in a brown sauce, over steak fries. considering how much mileage I've been packing into my running schedule I decided to go all out and crush as much of it as possible. that massive lunch and a beer was just under $20. it's all of one big room, so I could see it getting packed. rarely in the neighborhood but would certainly come back! read more

This is a great place to hang out or meet people. Sky was super nice and helpful as was Kelly. The food menu was great and the bar was better. I definitely recommend this place and will come back again. read more

Came here with friends for the first time. Pretty decent spot. Food is pretty good and drinks as well. Small local dive bar. Only thing I noticed is they kept serving people even after they've clearly had too much to drink, but hey people should know their limits. I would go back. I had buffalo chicken wrap and fries with gin and tonic. read more

Was passing thru the neighborhood and wanted a quick bite to eat. Simple neighborhood bar....decent crowd fir a weekday. Decent selection of tap and bottled beer. Amazing burgers, friendly bartenders. Definitely worth another visit. read more

Love love the live oak!! The food is delicious! Delivery is fast & everything arrives hot & fresh everytime! I've also been on a few nights out here & loved it! Always a nice atmosphere with lovely staff! Such a fun place! Try it, you will not be disappointed! read more

Definitely one of the best bars in New York!! When you are hear, you truly feel like family!! Special shoutout to the best server ever Allison!! I love the Jack Daniels boneless wings here!! read more

I've had brunch and dinner here a couple of times with friends and it's never been disappointing. They have a good selection of typical bar food from pretzels and appetizer samples to full course meals. My personal favorite would have to be the Irish curry -- I get it with half rice and half fries and it's the best Irish curry I've had in the neighborhood. Bartenders are very courteous and friendly. I've had the unfortunate event of being present while there was a very rude patron and the bartender Kelly handled him calm and collectively. She's an amazing bartender and I find myself actually looking forward to seeing her tend bar when I visit this establishment. I love the overall friendly atmosphere here during the day and its potential to be a lively weekend bar. I've noticed that they sometimes have live music although I'm not sure if this is something that's scheduled every weekend or night. Check it out if your looking for something laid back and chill will good food! read more

Nice neighborhood bar with good food and nice drinks. Not a dive bar at all. Pricing is more like a gastropub. Beer battered chicken fingers were HUGE and delicious. read more

This place is a gem! Went to have a drink with a few friends and didn't expect much. The drinks are awesomely priced. And the food is amazing. We had the chicken tenders sauced and I got a York burger that was so juicy and delicious. And they had live music. Definitely going back. read more

Order here for takeaway, delivery guy is THE SWEETEST! I always want to head there, but sometimes it's nicer to just stay at home. One day I'll go there and it'll be EVEN BETTER! Thanks guys! read more

Cool chill atmosphere with good food and beer and cool Bartenders . My new favorite in the neighborhood! read more

We order delivery from here and the food is SO good. The wings are some of the best I've had. Their burger is one of my husband's favorites. We never had a problem with cold or late food and they're always in point! We decided to stop in and have some drinks with food. Like always the food and drinks were both great. We got a table after waiting a little bit and the service was pretty fantastic until the waitress started running the bar, the tables, and cleaning up! I felt awful for her. She's was alone tending to everyone there. I'm not sure why they didn't have more staff or they left early. She was honestly a champ. read more

Review is based on service and alcohol... Have not tried food. Service is amazing very concise very friendly. Wine is pretty good wine selection both red and white Wish they had different types of wine, like a more seasoned collection or everchanhing wine selection.... Too bad it's always the same... Spirits and alcohol same as every other Bar in the area, boring but workable. Rye whiskey and bourbon are hot right now why not add that to your bar... Great place to watch any game beer selection is good especially having some demographic beer for the neighborhood (polish and Irish) but would like to see some Hispanic beer and I'm not talking about corona.... read more

Live near by and love the place . Food is great and a chill atmosphere with a bunch of TVs . Kelly the bartender is amazing and always has great stories ! read more

Went last night for the first time. The decor was nice and simple. We ordered, chicken fingers, fries, Guinness burger & fish & chips. The chicken fingers & fries were great, no complaints on fish & chips but the burger had a smell. I took 2 bites & couldn't eat it. It didn't smell spoiled. Just smell like meat. I will go back though, the margaritas were great. Glad I found something walking distance. The staff was very nice. My only complaint was the burger. read more

The Live Oak - Chicken fingers & fries, my 7 yr old loved them - Sports Bars Near Me - Maspeth, New York

See all

The outside of this bar is very nice looking. It seems like the owner put a lot of thought and effort into making this a nice establishment. Even the outside dining area was very well done. I would love to have The Live Oak be a bar I went to regularly. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. After several attempts of going to The Live Oak, myself, with my spouse and with friends, every single time the staff has been very unwelcoming to the point that it was apparent we weren't wanted there. It seems it was because we were not part of the "regular" patrons. But why wouldnt a business want new clientel? It beats me. Such a shame because my friends and I live in the area and would love a local bar to go to. Guess we have to find another spot. read more

When i pull up at the oak everything and anything i digest becomes live and all i wanna do is call my 6 baby mommas and ask em to throw their next baby shower in this motherfuckin joint read more

This is a neighborhood bar, but not your typical neighborhood bar. This place is better and awesome, the bartenders are great and friendly, the drinks are always good, wings are amazing (i'm a wing girl) the food is also great. I have not tried everything on the menu but I've only had great experiences only. Best thing to happe to the neighborhood, I don't live too far so i'm able to walk there. you are crazy if you don't come in and try the place out. you will not be dissapointed read more

Interesting little place to watch sports. Friendly staff and decent wing and beer specials.

Great food last night, chicken burger and potato skins. Glad you are opened in these crazy times. Thanks

It's a great bar with excellent food! Real cool place. Been stopping in or ordering out for almost 5 years and have never had a bad meal. The grilled chicken sandwich is fantastic and they make great burgers as well. read more

Very good neighborhood brunch spot. Enormous portions. I typically ordered the Irish breakfast, which was enough for two meals. Owner or manager appears somewhat tough but nice. read more

This review is for brunch. They have the potential to do so much better. There is no other brunch place nearby and the place is small but nice inside. The food just ok. They have a full Irish breakfast but the hash browns were not fully cooked. My husband ordered coffee and was not given any milk. We ordered mimosas and received screwdrivers. If the staff was trained better and they advertised for brunch they would do much better. I really hope they get better. I will be back in a few months and wrote a follow-up review. read more

I have never eaten in the restaurant but have eaten take out from them on numerous occasions. The food is tasty and reasonably priced and thus far they have always got my order 100 percent correct. They pay close attention to detail. My only complaint is the hour and a half delivery time. read more

Surprisingly good food for this fun quaint neighborhood bar restaurant . Enough TVs to satisfy anyone.

This is my go-to for takeout. Surprisingly enough, the burgers here are amazing, and at such a reasonably price! My family and I order from here at least once a month, as we are all very busy and there's just no time to cook sometimes. I also love the chicken & avocado hero sandwich, it is the best! I would suggest this to anyone who's looking for quality food and quick, because they deliver quite fast. read more

My husband and I are truly grateful to have such an amazing bar in our neighborhood. The service is excellent and super friendly. They have a great selection of seasonal draft beers. The food is amazing, and always fresh, their fries never get soggy. We love burgers, and chicken tenders. However, I have been dying to try their new summer special; crab cakes. We always try to stop by at least once a week, or order on Grubhub. I know that we will be their customers for a long time. read more

Good drinks, tons of Tv's which they will put on whatever you want to watch sports wise, food is good chicken quesadilla is my favorite, hot wings are really done well only thing they don't have is ranch, other then that place is a nice spot for a laid back sports bar with great service. read more

I come for brunch with my friends at the beginning of every month. Sometimes throughout the weeks as well. We have have a good and the staff there is amazing. Very upbeat and cheerful. The food is delicious and I absolutely love everything they have. We always get mimosas, of course, delish! All of our food was extremely flavorful and cooked to perfection. The big screen is my fav, especially when there is a good game on. This is my local spot and its the perfect place to bring friends to for brunch, a goodnight out, or for just a few drinks. They did such a beautiful job redecorating, our town really needed a place like this. (: can't wait to go back again!!! read more

I love this bar,everything about it is great the food the staff and the bar itself is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is always delish and is not expensive. I have to say I highly recommend this bar. read more

Small place but nicer. Have a lite summer salad menu. Went here for a tea reading enjoyed the drink and the reading.

Ordered through grubhub last night. Forgot to make sure the sandwich didn't come with a pickle and when I called the lady on the other end of the phone stopped the delivery driver and removed the pickle. Crisis avoided. She is my hero. Also my steak quesadilla was perfect, just the tiniest bit greasy (which, let's be real here, kinda want from a quesadilla). My husband's pickle-less breaded chicken sandwich was good and the burger was a also great. read more
