Firefly is easily one of my favorite spots right now -- the vibe, the drinks, and especially the service make it stand out every single time. The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back. read more

We booked the private room for my friend's birthday and it was very chill. The establishment is small but if you're looking for a good place to drink, then you can make a stop here. My only thing is the food option is limited and it's more pub finger food. Definitely would eat dinner somewhere then make a stop here for a drink. read more

Great and affordable drinks and I love the pork dumplings, and amazing service. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I bartend too. Anyone can make drinks but not everyone can make customers want to stay or come back. They have the usual asian bar drinks. Skip this place for another bar if you want a great night. ZERO stars for that girl with an attitude Veronica that makes you think everyone owes her money. Came here twice to have a good time and drink but was let down each time as it was her working the bar. First time was bad. Tried to give it another chance, this time also bad. She wants to be a mean nasty person who has to have a sarcastic reply to anyones friendly banter. AT LEAST pretend for your boss that you're nice and friendly. Its part of customer service. Every single time I go when shes working its just terrible attitude and bad drinks. Its as if she doesn't want to be there. Owners please reconsider her attitude. Its unbelievable how long you can make a stank face and think its okay for your bosses business. She was rude to our ENTIRE group of people who were ordering multiple drinks. I would have kept on coming here for joyce but not anymore. Multiple asian bars closer to flushing. You might want to skip this one for the terrible service or at least avoid the mean girl. read more

Solid spot. They stay open very late. My group ordered a bunch of stuff and shared it. Nachos were great (bulgogi is the star), tteokbokki was spicy and delicious. Service was good, our waitress was helpful and accommodating. I'll be back again soon. read more

A friend here took us here to get some drinks and food. Sadly not much selection on the food side. The drinks are good though! We were hungry and didn't know plan B at the time so we decided to order whatever they had. I think it was an army stew and tater tots. The drinks aren't bad but the food is mediocre. Majority of what we ordered tasted like premade or store bought. Think we were duped from what they had before the pandemic. I do like their decor and their sense of privacy. Good for small groups. Happy hour kind of joint. read more

One bartender here is seriously damaging your reputation. I've been to this spot multiple times and usually have a great time -- especially when Joyce is working. But there's another bartender (who honestly looks like Hailey Bieber) name is Vanessa who is consistently rude, dismissive, and acts like she's being personally attacked by any attempt at friendliness. Last night I came with four friends. Three of us immediately noticed the same issue we experienced months ago -- this bartender's nasty, stuck-up attitude. For example, I casually mentioned I also went to Binghamton and stayed in Mountainview and asked how about you? Her response? A sarcastic, mocking laugh: "HA HA HA HOW ABOUT YOU THAT'S SO FUNNY." LOL what's so funny? I was just trying to make a friendly connection and she literally laughed in my face like I said something hilarious - but in a mocking way it was weird. Then I asked about her major and if she pursues it and then she got super defensive saying, "I have a 9-5 and everyone who works here has a 9-5 it's not like this is our only job" like we were insulting her (we were not) that's great. My friend asked her if she knew his friend and she said "why the fuck would I know him?" Just say no. Just feels like everything you say to her she takes in the wrong way. She treats you like an annoyance. Owner needs to pay attention. She's drawing good customers away. We have a large group that drinks almost every night she really leaves a bad taste in your mouth read more

I'm white and my friend is Jamaican and we were treated with total hospitality, drinks came fast and smooth like whisky down the throat, great prices and felt like family in the bar. Shoutout to Joice the best bartender she held us down ten toes down. read more

Came in with my sister for happy hour. We had such a fun time sitting at the bar, chatting with the bar tender and some locals. The Soju cocktails were sweet and refreshing, I was a fan of the Citrus Lady. The Happy Hour prices were very good $4-$7, definitely a deal. After we ordered one glass of HH wine though we went with some specialty cocktails, very delicious! read more

Came here bc of the reviews but it was nothing special. We ordered drinks and food. A bit pricey and the space was smaller than I imagined.

Service was friendly! Food was OK, but nothing that stood out. Ambiance was fine - it was dimmer than I would've preferred and the music was a bit on the louder side but nothing unbearable. It was a convenient place to go to since I was nearby and hungry. read more

My pre-birthday spot #1! Luckily, my bestie Kim found a metered parking space across the street from Firefly. There was free parking after 7:00 pm #score Wow, Firefly's Happy Hour was from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm every day! If you are here for their Happy Hour, you must sit at the bar or outside. We grabbed the two emptied bar stools in front of the bar. My bestie ordered a glass of House Wine from their Happy Hour menu then we shared the Popcorn Shrimp...mmm delicious with the spicy dipping sauce! Thanks to our amazing bartender Megan for being so attentive! When the music stopped, it was so quiet. I requested for Megan to play anything from China Mac but the other customer requested Jazz...not my cup of tea! I do love talking about China Mac so check him out https://www.instagram.com/chinamac/! Thank you, Sara, for offering me some juices or iced water because she wanted me to stay hydrated. Note: You get an 8% discount if you pay in cash! read more

Came here last Saturday with a few friends and I was surprised to see how empty it was. We were seated at a table - they have curtains so you have some more privacy, just like a little private booth! I saw a nice big room near the back that can sit a bigger group. Service here was excellent- our waiter was pleasant and very helpful! On to the drinks- The mojito is sooo good! My friends got the rye julep and the Negroni ... they were strong!! They do not skimp on the alc AT ALL! (Seeing some reviews about the drinks being weak.. not sure what's happening here as we had the complete opposite experience!) We also got the fries and the fried shrimp as finger foods to snack on. The fries were good but they give really little considering it's $8. Pass on the shrimp. Our second round consisted of soju cocktails- one of each- tae guk (pomegranate), citrus lady (citron), bunny hop (strawberry) and borahae (grape). Again, STRONG! All were good but I traded my grape one for my friends strawberry one, which has the strawberry ice cream in it. It ended up being super good after the ice cream melted. We got another order of fries and the rose tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was actually pretty good flavor wise. Lots of chicken in a creamy "spicy" sauce. Not really spicy. But with this dish again, it was small and I cant really justify paying $23 for it. I'll definitely come back for the drinks! Eat up somewhere else before hand :) read more

Found this gem after I had some KBBQ at Ssam Tong (Go there btw). Was looking for a nice bar in Flushing to wash down all the food I ate & luckily drove past here without even looking it up. The inside is a little dark but that's how I like my lounges. The tabletops are lit up just like the bar area. I tried the Soju cocktails obviously & they were all delicious. My favorite was the pomegranate butttttttttt that Bunny Hop is a little on the wild side, like who thinks of these things? Strawberry Ice Cream in your DRINK??? Yep, let me get 2 of those thank you very much. What I love most about the inside of this place is the private booths. They know how some of yall get now that Covid season is slowly coming to an end. You might need a little more privacy to hold hands, they get it. My only regret is I didn't really order any of my go to drinks because I didn't know if they would be good here. Boyyyyy was I wrong. My last drink was a negroni & it was perfectly made. It was on par with the cocktail bars that charge you 21 dollars a drink so don't just try the soju cocktails like I did. Next time I'll try the food. In conclusion, this is a great spot to just hang out & have a drink with your friends but it is more of a date night spot. Take someone you like here & they will absolutely be impressed read more

Great place for tapas, drinks, bar food and Asian Fusion on Northern Blvd! The interior and overall layout of the restaurant and bar is designed very well. The booths are nice and private. It's a great place for date night. Their food is delicious! I really liked the braised spicy beef short ribs, which was super tender and flavored perfectly. I just wish that we had more of this. I also liked their signature burger which was marinated well. The food can be a bit pricey, but can't get over all the amazing flavors that packed into their food. Their service was also top notch! Both waitresses were super nice and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Great place to come for hangout and to have couple of drinks to wind down the day. This place has small private rooms with curtains to chill and hangout.

Definitely great place to come to chill, hangout, and have couple of drinks! : ) read more

Came here on a Saturday night with a friend. They have a few private booths you can choose to sit at or at the bar. Definitely a nice place to bring a date. For drinks we ordered Before Sunset and Bandi in Midnight. Both were fruity and refreshing. Bandi in Midnight in particular was strong on the alcohol. For food we ordered the Rose tteokbokki and it was very tasty! Portion wise, we split between two people and we weren't super full afterwards but also not hungry. The food prices here are definitely a bit high for the portion. Saw someone else recommend eating somewhere else and drinking here instead, I will have to agree. Definitely will be back to try more of their signature cocktails! read more

5/5 for drinks! I loved all the drinks that they offered and they have amazing specials at the bar. I would return for just drinks. They also have private rooms which I would come with friends if you're in a group of 4. Food wise, I would say wasn't my favorite. The fries were boring, the rose rice cakes were sad, but the bulgogi quesadillas were good. Just go for the drinks! Staff is super friendly as well. read more

I was under the impression there was happy hour everyday between 5-8pm but not any more or not when we arrived on Friday at 6pm. The rose tteokbokki, old fashioned, and service was good. Space is cozy and dim. read more

It was freezing. The food was just OK. The cocktails were delicious, but not presented with a lot of flair. Friendly service.

TLDR; This place had so much promise. The mood is great, the drinks are good, the food is terrible. I ordered 3 items, Bulgogi quesadilla, creamy chicken pasta, and some short rib rice dish i don't remember the name of. Come here for drinks, don't come here for food. No complaints about the service. Servers are pretty good here. Bulgogi quesadilla 0/5 This thing had like 5 little bits of bulgogi in it. i've seen more beef on 1 taco bell taco. I wouldnt order this again Creamy Chicken Pasta 0/5 This wasn't creamy, tasted like it came from a can and watered down, even asking for additional seasoning (salt pepper, pepper flakes) didn't help this dish. I would avoid this too. Short Rib rice dish 3/5 This wasn't actually so bad. except they served this to me on a cast iron where the handle has visible rust so, pretty sure you shouldn't be serving people things like that. Drinks I had a peach beer that was actually pretty good. To be fair it's not like they brewed their own beer. This and the short rib rice dish and this beer is the only reason i'm not giving it 1 star. read more

Great casual bar atmosphere, I especially loved that table seating brings you into a semi-enclosed room with a curtain door for privacy! Their cocktails are pretty and their house lagers are refreshing - I highly recommend the green grape flavored one. While not a food destination, many of their menu items really hit the spot when you're drinking. Their creamy tteokbokki dish and bulgogi quesadillas will leave you satisfied, for sure! Definitely a good spot for bringing a group of friends for happy hour! read more

Perfect little spot for an impromptu/quick/low key date night or a night out with friends. The decor is charming and the tables are very private - each table has its own privacy curtain you can close or leave open! This feature alone was very appealing and was surely much more appealing during pandemic times. There is one large party room that can accommodate about 12+ people (but check with the venue first). Food selection is okay - sufficient accompaniments for drinks. The Rose tteokbokki was a nice, creamy surprise for someone who is not usually a fan of the deep, overpowering gochujang base in traditional tteokbokki. Takoyaki was a let down because it was clearly microwaved but alas this is a Korean bar/eatery and not a Japanese spot so I was not expecting Michelin grade takoyaki - it is sufficient to accompany the drinks. The bulgogi quesadillas tasted exactly as how you would imagine the delicious combination to taste - the bulgogi is a great protein choice for a quesadilla and gives it a bit of sweetness alongside the corn. The drinks are very aesthetically pleasing and tasted great - they have a decent selection of cocktail choices and a slightly larger selection of beers and wines. Overall would absolutely stop by this spot again in the future and will do so. read more

Stumbled upon this place after work one Friday night. The bar servers are great and attentive. Food is good, drinks are okay. As long as you sit at the bar, they have bar specials! 5 shots of Patron for $30, and Jaeger bombs $9 each. Food is bussin! There was an issue with our food one time, but the bar servers were nice enough to comp it and also send out a complimentary scallion pancake! We wish the pancakes were on the menu! Must haves: Bulgogi mac n cheese Nachos and the Tteok-bokki read more

I went recently with a few friends because I was happy to see a place that sold both hard liquor and soju because who doesn't like a bar with a variety of drinks. Do not come here if you're trying to have a meal with your drinks. The food is pretty pricey for the amount they provide. If you go to any other restaurant, mediocre ddukbokki is not $20+... Do come here if you're trying to go all out with your friends because they have really good prices for bundles of shots at the bar. Unfortunately, the night ended with the bartenders giving us attitude when they did not return our credit card when we had to sign the receipt. They offered for us, THE CUSTOMER, to look in their cashier and bar area for the card and acted like it was our fault for losing the credit card. Thank GOODNESS, I noticed there was a camera and we saw in the recording that the card had dropped from the booklet before the bartender returned the bill to us. There was no apology and only attitude. With that, I can't help but to give two stars because that ruined the night for all of us. read more

The Taeguk (blue red) is a new drink that arrived on the menu recently. It is a pomegranate soju mix and is very good! If you like pomegranate it has a very strong pomegranate taste. And is on the sweeter side... most likely going to drink two more and it will be a night THIRD time coming here and ALWAYS BLOWS ME AWAY . Everytime I come back to nyc I make a stop for the bulgogi quesadilla. BUT NOW THEY HAVE A NEW MENY which has tteokbokki on it now! FIRE I ALSO tried the cheese nuggets new on the menu, it is like cheese curds iykyk , they have their own salsa mix and it is really good if you like chunky salsa with onion. It mixes really well with the cheese nuggets. Besides that's they are still very covid safe read more

Sat in the back area with 12 of my friends. Beautiful spot. Great for drinks and Korean "drinking food". Service was good as well.

Come for the drinks, stay for the company! Firefly is a warm and cozy venue with genuine exposed brick, a beautiful wooden bar, and several private booths. Everyone I have met who works here is very friendly and the bartenders certainly know their drinks! If it's not the bartenders greeting you when you walk through the door, the owner will certainly be there to welcome you. They have an excellent complement of wines and a fantastic selection of Scotch whisky (I am a Scotch man, myself). I occasionally enjoy a Bourbon Rickey, but if it isn't too busy I may request a mojito... and then another... and another... read more

Cute little bar in the neighborhood. Expected a low key spot for drinks with friends, but felt more like a sports bar because it was so loud (guests by the bar area). We could hear them from the mini "room" they had in the back. Drinks were okay, but don't think I'll be back unless I want to venture into the food menu which seem to have pretty good reviews here. read more

Came in for a late night bite and a drink around 9:00 PM, and there were only 2 other customers who were sitting at the bar. We were seated in a small cubicle that has a curtain that provides some privacy during your meal, I personally loved it. The antique light fixtures were a pleasant contrast to the technicolor lights that were casted against the walls, alongside the projection screen with music videos playing. We ordered the bulgogi quesadilla and chicken dried pepper stir Fry as our food choices and the Sour Jamo cocktail! I don't usually drink whiskey but my boo does and he liked it. It reminded us of a henny lemonade drink we make at home, but less sweet and more refined. The quesadilla, albeit a little thin, had great flavor and went well with the salsa, and provided us with a good carbohydrate crunch to go with our juicy chicken stir Fry, the dried peppers are the kind you find in mala dry pot! Don't eat them haha. Overall, great atmosphere for a date night with your honey or a group of gals. Would recommend! read more
