Mozzarella Sticks French Fries Salmon
Santiago S.

They werent kidding when they called this place "Cozy Corner" This place was awesome, its spacious has that genuine local bar feel where everyone knows eachother, the food was delicious and our bartender Briland was ontop of everything The Salmon and Mash is what I had, with the creme Brûlée, definitely a must try if you're there!

Crème Brûlée
Natasha T.

Walked in and was able to pick seating with no issue. Usual bar vibe, low light, rock was playing, super clean and chill. Bathroom was super bright and clean, loved the decor. The Server (wish I got her name!) came to our table and dropped off menus. We ordered mozzarella sticks, salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus, a cozy burger with fries, and chicken Parmesan with mashed potatoes, and a blueberry mimosa. (Extreme thanks to the server for making the drink, I did not realize it was a brunch only drink, but she still made it for me since she had the ingredients (her words) and didn't mind). Also got two crème brûlées. 10/10 everything was delicious.

Best salmon I ever had

The best food in Ridgewood, Queens. This place is absolutely amazing, the staff is friendly and the place is vivid and cozy. They have great food options and drinks too. Family friendly and you can bring your pet too! It's my favorite place in the area.

The Cozy Corner truly lives up to it's name. This is a locals bar. This is the kinda place where neighbors hang out and don't feel the pressures of being "cool" or "hip". This is the real NY. Real New Yorkers are like family. Anna is one of my fave bartenders here. She mentioned last weekend that they would be open on Christmas Eve. Since my friend hates the holiday and I only had plans for Christmas I knew it would be a perfect spot to have some drinks and have a little fun before the holiday. On Fridays and Saturdays you can get your grub on with a free slice of pizza with your first beverage. It's cash only during the weekend but the ATM is only dollar for the transaction. Not too shabby at all. The bar itself is huge but because of the times we all have to be outside. The Cozy Corner has one of the best winter set ups. They have a super long plastic seating area with heat lamps. The tables are spaced apart and I can feel the heat. You order your first drink inside and then Anna checks in on you and you can continue to get some rounds. She's truly a sweetheart. When we were here the neighboring tables all wanted to chat. It was a riot. That's kinda of what I miss during the holidays. Are your friend and yourself come home and when you need a break you gather at your favorite watering hole and just relax and have a good time.

Corner Gin Fizzy

I've lived around the corner from this place for decades! In that whole time, my FIRST time patronizing the new Cozy Corner was only last Saturday! Man, I've been missing out for so long!!! What a shame. Came here Saturday after seeing a show a few blocks away. It was the only place open at the time. We wanted food and drinks and we knew they served food. I've always heard good things about their pizza since they rebranded and started having pizza served. This was a VERY old-school local bar back when I moved here in the 80s. A few years ago they revamped the place and I'm very impressed. During the height of COVID-19, they constructed a huge outdoor seating area. They also have lots of seating inside, too! Two separate bars, about 5-6 tables with 4 chairs each, and this cute little raised seating area with different kinds of chairs in the back by the other bar. Everything is clean and sleek. They don't have actual menus so you have to scan a QR code to see what you want. On weekends the kitchen stays open until 1:30 AM so we lucked out! We ordered a large pie with red onions and mushrooms. Also got the Corner Gin Fizzy (Gin, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, Seltzer). It was very crisp and refreshing. I just stuck with that the whole night. You order at the bar and then they bring you your food to wherever you're sitting. Took maybe about 15-20 minutes for the pizza to come out. I'm kind of a pizza snob so I was excited to try this one out. It was a pretty damn fantastic pizza. They were light with the mozzarella. I usually like a heavy hand with mozzarella but I didn't mind this! The sauce was tasty. The toppings were fresh and not canned. The crust was thin and perfect. At first, I thought how only 2 people will finish a large pie but embarrassingly enough, we did! That's how good it was. Service was always friendly. The cook saw that we didn't have any plates so he came out from the kitchen to bring us some. The female bartender was very nice and kept bringing our drinks tableside. In between the male and female bathrooms, they have a display with so many good games. They have Cards Against Humanity!!!! Big screen t.v.'s playing sports at each bar. My favorite thing about this place though is the jukebox!! The best jukebox I've ever encountered. It's digital and you can pay with a credit/debit card. $1 gives you 2 credits good for 1 song. It has any song by any artist ever created!!! I was playing such an amalgamation of songs the whole night. I'm sure some people left because of it! That jukebox is freaking addicting!! They have an ATM on site that only charges a $1 fee. I'm SO glad that I finally gave this place a visit. I know I'll be back for more!

Bar food
Jensen H.

Delicious food nice friendly vibes and employees. First time here and it was great we're definitely coming back again. They require proof of vaccination like everywhere else right at the door if you are eating in. To order food you have to order at the bar and they hold your credit or debit card until you're ready to pay. They have pool and a few games there. And a little nook with comfort seating. The food was wayyyyy better then we thought it would be. Affordable pricing, quality and quantity.

According to the Internet, this is the #1 bar in Ridgewood, so I decided to check it out with BF…read moreafter dinner at Rolo's. The bar is a bit on the smaller side in terms of seating, but it has a TON of personality. I loved the eclectic decorations and knickknacks around the seating areas and the bar. The bartender had the TV tuned in to Jeopardy, so my inner (or extremely obvious?) nerd was beaming. In terms of the drinks themselves, I tried the cocoa orange whiskey (?) infusion on the rocks, and my BF had the chipotle paloma. We would both say they were solid, definitely not at "craft cocktail" level, but decent. This bar has a fun + dive-y feel - the kind of place where you get a beer, a plate of chicken nuggets, and watch trash tv with your neighborhood crew (I think they actually do have people who have a weekly Bachelorette viewing during the week). Definitely worth checking out if you're already in the area and looking for ~vibes.~

I've had a number of drinks here and it's been a great meeting spot for late night occasions, especially ones that revolve around a good drink. No doubt it's one of the more underrated nightlife venues in the borough. The setup feels like something out of a Brooklyn type bar - pseudo hipster vibe, casual environment with the whole board games and stacks of books all within a space that is well divided to give a different feel in each corner of the small'ish interior. Like a living room extension but with adult company. Of course, the bar is the most prominent thing in the room and it's a great place to chill as a solo patron. Groups can congregate in the lounge-y areas but the feel is remarkably different depending on where one choses to hang. On a beverage front, there is no shortage of quality drinks to be had. The cocktails are well made and not expensive; the bartenders do a good job of making sure each drink carries a certain kind of potency before leaving the bar. The happy hours are lovely as well, combined with a good deals ($5 shot + beer special, $5 cocktails, etc.) and even better hours (2-8pm!). Lastly, I appreciate a good name. Bad Old Days can be interpreted in many facets, but I think this establishment prides itself on good company and somehow rewards us with simple, good drinks. Bring a friend or three, enjoy the random movies that get projected onto the wall, and enjoy a late night capper in a quiet part of an emerging part of Queens.

We opted for snacks over drinks but obviously I'll be coming back for a cocktail.

The mushroom sliders were a skip, not very flavorful or well prepared, but we met the chef and they were very kind and earnest about feedback. I bet everything else is really good, that dish just needs a little love! It's clearly an artsy communal hub in Ridgewood, definitely check it out.

Yee-haw in Ridgewood!…read more My boyfriend is always asking me about my regular bar. I go to TV Eye for the shows, Milo's Yard for the yard and dj nights and Ore Bar is my fave but Jones Bar there's something about you that keeps you in my thoughts! We came on a Sunday afternoon for a cold one before heading home. It is insanely chill. The bartender was funny and inviting. The regulars were like old friends. My boyfriend loved talking sports with a few and deep diving into their love and hate for the Mets! The bartender mentioned that there was supposed to be a vintage market that was cancelled because of the rain. There is food pop ups as well and live music. This recent Friday was four live acts and for FREE. We made our return to our new fave spot. It did not disappoint. The place was packed but not annoying. People were chill. Age range from 25-40 maybe. The first guy playing is from Austin, Bubba Lucky also designed the flyer for the event. The second act, Patton Magee was a three piece. A perfect Friday night hang for sure. Country is back in the best way. This is the kinda bar I was searching for in Nashville. I'm glad it's here in Queens. I am a music lover but I like hopping around genres. So it's nice to get my fix here. So happy to finally be making this a home away from home.
