Bday Tings! Kicking off my bday celebrations here on a Thursday which is Ladies Night. 10 out of 10!!!! The service, the food, the drinks & the vibes. Happy Hour is until 8pm. Half off select cocktails and appetizers. $7 margaritas, martinis and mojitos all night for Ladies Night. My friends and I had Churrasco skewers, truffle waffle fries, chicken quesadillas, Churrasco quesadillas, loaded waffle fries with shrimp and sweet chili wings. Everything was good! Nothing salty, mushy or lacking flavor. Hookah is $40, cash only and $25 for a refill. The hookah was smooth and long lasting. We really had a great time here. I'll definitely be back over the summer! read more

Food was delicious. I was looking for a place to eat. When doing google search it came up as #1 but of course I still had to further research went onto Yelp followers . You know the say don't judge a book by its cover tgis is one of them. It was a Gem in the wall. Best description. Sadly only one bathroom. But good nite they're very clean. Not even a drop of tissue hits the floor too long. Parking on street. I went on a Friday. Late night. Omg was worth it. I can't wait to go back again try something different from the menu. As soon as you walk in you're greeted right away. They have live DJ. Customers enjoying themselves was nice to see you know it will be great. food was delicious. Music was just right. I see they had a QR code to set up a points best part they're linked with other restaurants. I'll add photos later. read more

This is a lovely dim light at night spot, next door to Low Key Gardens Lounge. Located on Austin Street, Forest Hills. All of the staff were friendly and kind. The door man even did a dance as me and my friend walked in. The manager made sure we were good. The place is not a huge place. It is small and quaint. The music was loud but not crazy loud. I could hear my friend. I didn't see many options for large crowds. I enjoyed my quesadilla and drink. I had the purple passion drink. You can taste the flowery taste. I love the aesthetic touch of the logo on the foam of the drink. read more

Love! I came here with one of my close girlfriends and have to say it did not disappoint! I was not sure really what to expect. I was curious if this place was a restaurant, a bar, or a lounge. I would say this place is definitely a lounge. The vibe was great, very chill and unpretentious. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Their menu is more finger foods and decent bites if you plan to drink. I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far. read more

This is a nice restaurant with fun vibe and a great happy hour with lots of choices. Happy hour is half price appetizers and signature drinks. The food was delicious, wings were crispy and well sauced, quesadillas were amazing and the guacamole was fresh. The service was only okay, our waitress could have been more attentive. We ended up order from the bartender. read more

We went around 5pm on a Friday for drinks and some "tapas" because we saw the Happy Hour drink specials. Ended up ordering non-discounted cocktails. We didn't know the nachos, teriyaki salmon skewers and steak skewers were half price. I was disappointed by the nachos but really liked the skewers. The noise level got really loud by 6 when the place filled up -- I couldn't even hear my husband across the small table from me. That was the reason I may not go back. read more

This is a great place to visit if you want a club-lite experience without trekking to the city. My friends and I went there for their sing-along brunch. It ended up being one of the most fun times I've had in a while - all the songs were old school from 90s-2000s and they were generous with the mimosas. Definitely a place for the millennials too old to go out out but still want to shake it a little lol. Wouldn't say the food is out of this world but not terrible either. And the service is pretty accommodating. read more

I love it here! So cute inside. Love the events. Great drinks, great happy hour, great place to go when a group has different dietary restrictions. Such a vibe on Thursday nights read more

Came to check out this spot last night, last minute happy hour and the aesthetics are incredible, it's all social media ready for your pictures! Drinks and food were good. You have to try the Forest Kick drink, it's delish; the mini chicken empanadas, chicken nachos and the churrasco skewers were delicious Go and check it out and enjoy!!! read more

They did a great job renovating the space! I went here when it was ripe juice bar. Its super cute and intimate inside. Great for grabbing drinks and a quick bite! The happy hour deal is 50% off the menu which i thought was great and the portions are a good size. Tiffany was our server and she was great despite her being the only server and it was busy! I'll def be back soon. Please note its not a huge space so don't come with a huge group! More for intimate group sizes. read more

Just checked out this newly opened lounge/bar in Forest Hills and had a great experience. The drinks were well-made and flavorful, the staff was super friendly and attentive, and the space itself is very spacious and comfortable. It's a great spot for parties or group outings! They offer bottle packages and hookah, which makes it even better for celebrating. Definitely a solid new addition to the Forest Hills nightlife scene. Will be back! read more

Not for me. This is not a speakeasy or a cocktail bar. This is more like a club acting like a smaller cocktail bar. The music was too loud, the lights were flashing and the drinks were overly fruity. I was hoping for a place like Dutch Kills which is a true cocktail bar. I guess they are trying to sell this more as a lounge which to me is a miss. There is a lounge literally next door. A true cocktail bar would have been such a great addition. We went in and it was happy hour which was half off drinks. Their menu of cocktails was small and there were no classic drinks. Everything was fruity or floral. My drink was bright purple and sadly the best part was the pineapple garnish. read more

The service was excellent. The owner came over and introduced himself to us, he was extremely kind and welcoming. The staff was accommodating. The vibes were great! A great place to go to for brunch or an after hour chill spot. 10/10 recommend. read more

Based on reviews, I made reservation for 6 of us prior to Forest Hills Stadium show. Walked in at 4:00 and place was packed. Our "table" was a tiny space for no more than 3 people with stools around it. Place was super loud and hectic. We wound up leaving almost immediately. Not a place to have a pleasant drink, bite and conversation. read more

Came for happy hour, i had the lady in white, forest kick and the empanadas. Everything was good. A place to enjoy the music and food. read more

Terrible service. Don't go here. Fries alright - needed more truffle and parm. Waited 2 hours for a drink on a WEEKDAY. Terrible music

unfortunately I have to rate this one star because I had a horrible first experience. I made reservations for my birthday on a Sunday for a large party. I spoke to a manager twice on the phone to confirm when I got us over by the but didn't have enough seats. I asked if we could put tables together, which he told me he would assist, but he never did. Originally I booked this place for the karaoke Sunday been advertised on social media, but they did not have karaoke Sunday and the DJ never started the time we were told therefore we never heard of DJ. My friend ordered meat that also had to be sent back because it was very undercooked. I really wanted to support this place but unfortunately will never be making a reservation there again. mind you we stayed and still were nice hoping for the best but it did not get better. read more

Five stars service, food, ambience ! Recommend the forest kicks and the churassco skewer

Unfortunately this is a miss for me. Was excited to give this a try since it is a fairly new addition to the neighborhood. First thing off the top was that it was so damn loud. They have a DJ and I'm of the age where I definitely don't need blaring music with my meals. To add to the ambiance was the number of other patrons from the restaurant who stand out front to smoke weed. I think I got a contact high soon as I walked out. Tack on the hookah coming out and overly fruit and sweet cocktails and I knew this would be my last time there. Bummer because the spot itself is cute but i think I'm a little too discerning for this kind of vibe. read more

IYKYK is such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! My husband and I came on Saturday for drinks and light bites. They have a bunch of TVs that were all playing a football game. I asked if they could turn the Mets game on one of the TVs, and they were happy to accommodate. I ordered a skinny margherita, and my husband got a guava cocktail. Both drinks were great! We also ordered the shrimp skewers and the carne asada tacos, which were absolutely delicious. We ended with the dulce de leche empanadas, and they were so tasty I even broke my diet and ate 2! We both kept saying all night how excited we are to go back. We will definitely be enjoying many date nights there in future. read more
