Front Toward Enemy - Astoria

I was here at least 5-6 times. The food, the ambience and the staff are great. Love they have jazz music for a few nights. My place. I'm normal now! Your groundless branch is to die. Also, recently discovered Des, one of the owners used to go another bar called Gabby's that I used to go. Good guy.

I love coming to Astoria and came here as part of an event which gave an another chance to make that long overdue visit. This spot is awesome , i wasn't expecting this to be this huge but it is really spacious and décor is old rustic with a hint of industrial touch. Coming to food and drinks there were a plenty of good options. I really liked the strawberry ginger drink. Sweet and chili flavored chicken were my favorites , there were also veggie and meat burgers and octopus appetizer. We also had a live acoustic performance. I will be back here soon!

A fun name for a bar, this local hangout sits under the limelight of Queens Comfort. Don't let that turn you away though. Ambiance is what brings in scores of locals to come nigh in and night out. There's a great homely vibe here you sure ought to check, as there are dart boards, pinball machines, and at times, live talent playing some nights. A reasonable gastropub menu complement the beers on tap. I've sampled some of the comfort food on-hand, and it works for what I'm looking for in a bar.

Dark, discrete interior that invites sessions of good talk. The front of the bar opens up to the street, which is pleasant in warm weather. We got cocktails one recent Friday evening: a whiskey Old Fashioned and a cognac Old Fashioned. Well-made, straightforward drinks. Decent sélection of independent beers on draught. Attentive, unintrusive service. Music thankfully not too loud. Atmosphere of a new-generation, inviting, local hangout.

James loved it. Beautiful woodwork interior. Great food. Great service. The gin punch brunch is fantastic.
