They are the sort of spots one would find exciting in 2010 NYC, or perhaps 2025 Asheville. There's certainly a scene, but the green neon sign that reads "We Be the Infamous," and their commitment to their speakeasy hidden behind another business bit makes me immediately want to run the other way. But I ordered a couple of drinks for the full experience. I got a cocktail with mezcal and pineapple syrup and an espresso martini because no other drinks really called to me. One great thing about Queens bars is that places are still inexpensive, so I'm not mad at only spending $17 on these drinks, but the creativity isn't matching the likes of Dutch Kills or 56709 up the avenue. It's totally serviceable and it seems others have a great time here, but I found the experience wholly forgettable.

The ambiance nice, cozy, and intimate The drinks are worth every penny The music was not too loud and I went on a night (Thursday) that I knew alllll the music and could sing along And service was on point. Two things you should know before going. The first they are a stickler on punctuality. You need to be on time for your reservation if not you will lose it. In addition they will send you about 5 reminders leading up to your visit. The last one being 30 minutes before your arrival. In addtion you only have 90 minutes at a table . And when the 90 minutes over.... its over, however you are welcome to stand. The second thing, this is not a let's get lit hookah kind of spot. Very GROWN and mature. You sing along with the people next to you ...you vibe. This is great for a person who wants a nice lounge vibe, great drinks, great music, and mellow crowd. It goes without saying....I WILL BE BACK!!!!!

Tuna Tartare ($28) | 5/5: this was refreshing with a delicious citrusy tang Arugula Pesto Gnocchi ($26) | 4.5/5: Loved this! The gnocchi was thinly sliced and cooked perfectly, and the zucchini slices were a highlight. Arroz Negro ($24) | 4.5/5: Rich and creamy with a great depth of squid ink flavor. The crispy fried calamari topped it off nicely. Calabrian Pork Ragu ($26) | 4.25/5: Had a slight gamey note, but overall a solid pasta dish Skirt Steak ($60) | 4.25/5: R40 is known for their steaks, and this was definitely way better than the dry aged, though I've had better before. El Classico Empanada ($8) | 4.25/5: Loved how meaty, flaky, and savory this was. Crab & Shrimp Empanada ($9) | 4/5: Appreciated how large the empanada was, but it could've used more crab and shrimp filling Red Snapper ($56) | 4/5: Perfectly cooked fried snapper, loved that it was boneless and easy to share 30-Day Dry-Aged NY Strip ($96) | 3/5: Pretty disappointing for a dry-aged steak. It felt overcooked for medium-rare and was quite tough/rough.

The space itself is stunning -- open, light-filled, and airy, with a beautiful outdoor patio in the back that was absolutely ideal for our celebration. Our guests moved effortlessly between inside and out, and the atmosphere felt festive without being chaotic. The bartenders were fantastic. They were friendly and creative, making fabulous drinks, and on top of every drink order. The waitstaff matched that energy perfectly, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The food buffet was delicious, keeping everyone happy and satisfied throughout our time there. What really set this experience apart was that the owner was present the entire time, personally making sure everything ran smoothly. That level of care and attention made all the difference. You could feel it in every detail. If you're looking for a place to just have a drink, or eat a meal, Little Rascals in Greenpoint is the place to frequent. And, hosting an event there, they treat it like it's the most important party of the year -- because they actually do -- look no further. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

The lobster pieces seemed to be on the tougher side. Overall, convenient and nice spot for brunch if you're in the area.
