Karaoke. Some people love to belt out their voices in front of crowds of strangers. Some people hate that. I feel like there are no in-betweeners that kinda like to sing bad songs in public. You either love it or you hate it. Well, I'll admit, I'm a hater...or so I think. You get enough drinks in me and I might get up there and sing Come On Eileen. Only the best karaoke song out there. But...I've got to be drunk. We're talking at least 5 drinks in... Going to Doyle's Corner for the first time, was also my first trip to Astoria EVER. I'm a newby to NYC anyhow, so it's not that strange. Walking to Doyle's, I was reminded of Boston as we walked down what looked like 'Main Street' and passed residential houses and local stores. Not that Boston doesn't have a great city (I love Boston) but it's more low key. Astoria is definitely low key. Running from pub to karaoke bar, I was like, "Where are the real bars??" It seems I've been in Manhattan for too long already... Doyle's is a bit of a hole in the wall. Low ceilings, small area to move around and a very small, somewhat crowded space, right by the bathroom so-called 'stage.' Many, many songs...just go on up and take a slot of time, it won't be long of a wait. Not much sitting room as everyone gathers around the microphone to hear how horrible you'll sound up there. Some people aren't so bad...some were terrrribbble. See, this is where I come back to being a hater...why go to a bar to listen to people with no voice scratch their way through a popular song from 1998? Unless it's your friend up there cracking through the chorus, it's just plain annoying. 3 Stars for being the average Karaoke Bar. Nothing special. read more

This place would be boss, if people still used terms like boss. OK, I've only been here once, but the drinks were reasonably priced, the place was not filled with annoying hipsters, and I could actually hear and hang out with the people I was with. The bartenders were cool, and the ones our night were authentically Irish (bonus). One was an adorable redhead (bonus). There karaoke was hilarious and we even teamed up with a quality guy with 5 o'clock (the next morning) shadow who later hit us up for same dank weed. In conclusion: It's a bar. They have booze. It's not filled with jerks. It is slightly...rustic read more

I'm obsessed and have been since the first time I drunkenly stumbled into this dimly lit haven of Guinness. I live right around the corner and have spent countless evenings drinking waaaaay too much here. It's cheap and Brendan and Paul are the greatest, sweetest bartenders I've ever known. There are darts and pool and an electronic jukebox. You can have food delivered at 2am. Nothing like a hot and fresh Boston's pizza in the middle of the night. read more

Solid spot that's pretty low key, but fun enough not to be a drag like all the Irish Pubs on 31st Street. Bartenders are the best part, very authentic and entertaining. Burger is super solid too, in fact one of the best in this price point. Jukebox plays whatever you want and strong internet connection if you want to work in your own booth while you watch the Jets get smoked on your own private screen. Badass. read more

The best local pub in Queens, great service, great food, awesome atmosphere & a great friendly one of a kind owner that makes u feel like u belong there and nowhere else. A gem in the heart of Queens!!!!! read more

Doyle's Corner - Pubs Near Me - Astoria, New York

I live a block away and can't believe how many months it took me to come here! It looks dingy on the outside but the interior is quite charming. We got beer and cider on tap and way too much food. Fish and chips were delicious, apps were great too. Burger was meh but that was the only mediocre element. Also the bathrooms are super super clean. They have pool and darts. And a super friendly bartender (Thursday). Overall I thought it was a dingy gross pub but it was really nice. fantastic neighborhood spot! read more

What can I say... I love a bar that I can bring my own food into. Have lived in Astoria for 5 years and have been to Doyle's a handful of times, but recently moved around the corner and have been going... probably a little too much. I love this place, always comfortable there and nice people. Cheap drinks, and I'm not sure about a buyback policy, but I have gotten a few drinks on the house. On two separate occasions strangers had a pizza delivered and offered me a slice! Extra star for that, just for being cool with having food come in. read more

First off, I feel welcomed almost as soon as I step in, so that is definitely a plus! I have had a positive experience with Paul who is such a friendly guy who makes great recommendations as well! Great selection of draft beers and many other drinks to choose from! The food here is also a big plus. Personally tried the fish and chips and I must say, delicious! Bathrooms are also kept clean so need to fear! read more

A place where u go for a couple of shots of drinks before u head to clubs or spend the night away ordering from the bar. The place might get a little too loud on the weekends as it is a small place and very popular but thats how normally bars and pubs are. The servers are very nice and polite. The drinks are priced average and a good place to chill with ur buddies. read more

Doyle's Corner - Where drinks and friends meet - Pubs Near Me - Astoria, New York

I'm lucky that this is the closest bar/pub from my house. I just love this place for it is always open when i go, the bartenders Brandoon and Paul are very nice and professional. I haven't tried the food yet but it sure looks and smells very nice. Always a good time there read more

Love this place! Have been coming here for 15 years! Pauly and Brandon are the BEST!! This place is like your neighborhood Cheers bar, you walk in, see the same faces and get good drinks and food! The food is really good and just chatting with Pauly and Brandon is always fun! You get good laughs with them and their always happy and smiling! The service is beyond excellent! Never change guys - Angela & Mario read more

Chicken tenders were great ... you see aot of the regulars eating here. I was told the food was good and it lived up to it.

$6 beer with a generous pour! We stopped in just for one drink while we were waiting for friends.

Food is crap , reheated at best. If your standard for food is very low and your drunk it will taste ok. $6.50 for a beer , way over priced. If your not a local here you will feel unwelcome, also the bartender was handling ice with bare hands and not scoop. Beware read more

Great bar. Bar tenders are on point and remember everyone. Drinks aren't cheap, but they're good about buy backs. Update: Forgot to mention that they now have outdoor seating in the summer time. This is great. Not many bars in the area have this and it allows for a relaxing night cap when I take my dog out. I'll head over, hang out with other locals, and a have a drink while also helping me keep my dog socialized to other people (she's a rescue). read more

One of my favorite pubs in Astoria! Great staff, strong drinks and surprisingly good food.

Honestly this is some of the best food I've had in Astoria. It's pub food but the menu is impressive. Everything is always fresh and cooked right. Appearances can be deceiving - it looks like your run of the mill pub but the kitchen is on point and the staff is super friendly. An instant favorite of ours. read more

To be totally honest I have never eaten a meal at this establishment that I didn't like but per bartender Marie's recommendation I tried the steak and mash potatoes and it excited my taste buds....Damn, all of this thinking about that steak made me decide to stop by today and have a steak salad and have few drinks because it's Friday and I got paid and have nothing important to do..... read more

Brandons the man!! Cool bar when you wanna lay low. Pool table, darts, chicken wings, beers. What more can you ask for?

Nice and friendly bar. You can sit outside and have a cold brew and watch the goings on Broadway Astoria. I am not sure if it is the best Irish bar pub in Astoria/LIC area. But I enjoyed my pint of beer there on a beautiful sunny day in May. Well worth a visit. read more

Grabbed some drinks here last night / this am. One of the staff provided excellent, table-side service - it paralleled and in fact, surpassed the service I received at Milos (a truly upscale restaurant) in midtown. Mangers Cider was fresh, Don Julio was perfect. (Some places cider is stale and tequila is replaced with non-name brand or, water, etc.) Got our waiter's name which I cannot remember now, but what a great personality. Ill-tempered and incompetent servers easily ruin a good time. No chance of that here!! :) Come buy, give them your business. Enjoy great drinks, a game of pool or pick your jams on the jukebox. You won't go wrong! read more

Amazing food, superb service, great prices. A big thanks to Ciara for being the best server we've had anywhere in a long time. We found this place when I had a strange craving for fish and chips, and had an inkling an Irish pub would suffice. I did not expect the wonderful experience we had. The food was delicious, fresh, the fish nice and crisp. My husband's burger was huge, juicy, and full of flavor. We questioned why we had been wasting our money at specialty burger joints when there was such a gem two blocks from our home. We returned tonight, this time with our two dogs, hoping for a nice meal in the open air. The waitress brought out water for the dogs without being asked, she answered all of our questions, gave good advice and was all around extremely attentive. We were so impressed by Ciara. She's a lovely woman, we look forward to seeing her again as this has rapidly become a regular spot for us. Btw, I highly recommend the sweet potato fries! We were blown away. read more

I feel like this is a quintessential Queens bar. Good people, good drinks, sports on the TVs (Knicks were on when I went, nobody wants to watch the Nets in Queens!), and a pool table/darts. Went in the night before the blizzard and had a delicious hot toddy. No tea in it, but I was quite all right with that. It was hot water, a healthy pour of whiskey, lemon, and clove. It was just right and exactly what I needed. Even better, the bartender was more than happy to pour it for us. The atmosphere was not too loud, but definitely not quiet. I like that it is a smaller bar, feels more intimate and cozy. I can't wait to go back! read more

Wanted a place with local vibe even though we were from out of town. Steaks were amazing! Fish and chips were were delicious. Easy to get to just a quick/cheap Uber ride away. Very witty and fun waitress/bartender. A great local place to hang out! read more

Pretty good, pool table, decent drink prices, solid but limited selection of draft beers and pretty good food.

Wow. What a low rent PoS bar, but not in the good way. Too bright. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The crappy white and green sign (adorned with customary shamrock) is its best feature. Spare yourself entry and walk back up Broadway where infinite bars await (all with toilet seat on the commodes). read more

This is the last place that I went to for the bar crawl. They have master dart board ppl here. I'm sure you spend a few days over here, you will definitely learn to play darts from these ppl. The bartender really does play a few shots at the pool table with the customers. How cool is that? read more

Doyle's Corner pours the best pints of Guinness within that 2 mile radius. I can't explain it but for some reason, this place has it when it comes to Guinness. Their bartenders are friendly and attentive to your alcohol needs. I don't know about their karaoke night though...it seems to bring out all the loud and obnoxious people out. I'm not being biased because it's my local bar...just telling it how it is. read more

Basic Irish bar with Irish bartenders who were friendly. A band was playing Saturday night and I was totally digging their set list and they were the reason we stayed a bit longer. Not much more to add other than typical pub with live music and a pool table when a band is not there. I dig places like this! read more

Cheap drinks. Friendly servers. Jukebox. Food that I didn't eat but am sure is delicious. Quintessential neighborhood Irish pub.

The atmosphere is homey, the food is homey, the service is great. I've been there a few times and every time was great. This isn't your typical over-crowded, elbow to elbow, waiting forever for service type of bar. The only thing about this place is it's dark inside, but then again, it's a bar...so no biggie. There are tons of screens where you can watch sports and a few booths where you can sit and chat and eat. The staff is super friendly and accommodating as well. Definitely a good place for a lazy mid-week night or a football Sunday! read more

Sometimes the random finds are the best ones. I stopped in here to wait while my car was getting fixed. Could have stayed all day, but somebody had drive the car home. Great bartenders, good music, pretty standard prices, and all around nice people. If I lived around here, I would surely be a regular. read more

Spent a lovely Christmas Eve here with my husband and 3-year old daughter. Excellent service. Warm and friendly environment. The food is exceptional...order the Shepherd's Pie and a Hot Toddy. read more

Bartenders are always friendly, remember who you are, and what you're having. Vlad is the absolute best! Even on a packed Saturday night, he makes sure you're never without a drink. The food is always great. My favorite bar to bring a group of friends to, when visiting Astoria. read more

Great service. Perfect place to sit outside and have a pint.

Great food. Fantastic juke box. Pool and darts. Marie is a fantastic bartender. She will make time to talk to you like she knows you. A great little Irish pub in Astoria. read more

Great neighborhood spot with very friendly bartenders and friendly patrons. After a few minutes there I felt like a regular. This is a great spot to watch a game or just to come have a few drinks. They have a solid amount of TVs, good drink prices and a pool table and dart board for added entertainment. No food, but they allow you to bring it in and there was talk of adding a kitchen at one point so maybe that will change. I used to live around the corner and this was my go to spot, if I still lived in the neighborhood I would probably be there tonight. But alas Bronstein Properties caused my Astoria tenancy to be quite brief, for more on that lousy experience read my review on them... read more

Love this bar. Good beer on tap, and the fish & chips is excellent! Bartenders are always really nice too. I usually come here weekend afternoons or weekday evenings. Haven't been on a weekend night yet...doesn't really look like my kind of scene. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Low-key. Decent-priced drinks. Great/friendly bartenders/servers.They serve food as well (burgers,fries,wings).Overall, it's just a chill,friendly, good old bar so come grab a drink in Doyles if in Astoria:) read more
