    An awesome dive bar that you would typically see in the East Village. The place is laid back and unpretentious. They have a happy hour special with $5 beers, but honestly, it's not even needed. Their beers are regularly $5-$7 as it is. There is a small outdoor seating area at the back as well and the bartender offers free popcorn to everyone. Overall, this is a nice spot to hit up after dinner.

    I've been coming here since I've relocated to this side of Astoria. This is such a cool gem in the area. The staff here is so friendly and make you feel welcomed. The drinks are great, best part HAPPY HOUR EVERY!! Hours may vary but you won't be disappointed. The music is pretty good. You get free popcorn, which is my favorite. You are able to bring outside food in if your feeling hungry. You must clean your mess!! Kole and Dina are chill.

    Automatic good time. Old bay on the popcorn. Good company, good people all around. You can come in here and have a fun time no matter the situation. I will definitely be coming back.

    If you look up "dive bar" in the dictionary, you'll find a photo of this place right next to it...and that's a good thing! The music was popping, drinks flowing...all the good things! And the bathrooms were clean! Even deep into the night.

    Giggle Juice

    The ambience is cleaner than the typical dive bar, yet not withholding the vibe that you would feel. Everyone is very welcoming and accepting and has a smile on their face. I walked up to the bar and was greeted by Dina, she was patient kind and super fun. I told her I wanted to order the giggle juice, she assured me that it would be tasty, and it was one of their most popular drinks. After I sipped, I clearly knew why. It was the perfect blend of bitter and sweet, with the addition of elderberry. I highly recommend trying this beverage and being served by Dina, her hospitality, and warmth were very inviting, and I would certainly visit this establishment again.

    Decent dive bar in the 30th avenue area of Astoria. Super friendly staff and good music. On Thursdays they also have live music. My only complaint is that beer outside of happy hour is a little pricey, but other than that I really like this bar! By the way, happy hour is on weekdays from 4pm to 8pm. Also there's no kitchen so you can bring your own food and they also serve complimentary popcorn. No table service (which is not a problem for me) but keep that in mind.

    Grimm Sour and an IPA.

    How about Judy and the Blow Fish?! This place is off the charts...billboard style! Been here multiple times and here's the Mouse's review: For a dive bar, it's the place where you want to be. Every beer, every style, and all the smiles. I had the BEST Sour here since moving to NYC. The Grimm Sour is off the chain! Didn't get the bar tenders name, but he was so kind and took care of the entire bar/house. He even charged my phone! Excellent place for happy hour and after dinner drinks. Top place for drinks off 30th Ave.

    Nice stop for a drink after a bike ride from Harlem! The beer "October fest" was good and homey flavored. The "blood orange cider" was a discovery! Waiter is nice ! Good spot !

    I know. This photo has been posted way too many times.

    Was looking for a good burger this night and with a little search a place called Wolf's Lair popped…read moreup. It's a pretty nice sports bar with large TV screens throughout the place so will definitely be on my list of places to hit up to watch a few games! Overall food and service was on point, but also it was a random weeknight where there wasn't a crowd. Either way, recommend this bar if you're looking to grab a bite or watch a game! Classic Waygu Burger - 4/5 Great tasting and juicy burger, but one thing I wish was included was a side of fries at bare minimum. Cook of the meat was on point Disco Fries - 5/5 - Think of it as poutine but with mozzarella instead. Great side dish to a burger

    What to make of this place?…read more When we visited in September (at that time), a wanna-be sports bar had just taken over the Greek taverna Blue Sea Taverna (before that, two iterations of Akrotiri). Both Greek tavernas had failed or gone out of business. So we were curious to see what changes had been made. When we entered, we were initially confused because the seating, especially the lounge seating, did not create a sports bar vibe. Even adding a bunch of TVs did not give us that feel either. Instead, our initial impression was that they were trying to convert an old Greek taverna into a gastropub, similar to other well-known ones in the area. And I should also add we had not been following the local news about the controversy regarding their name association with a World War II fortified bunker that was blown up at the end of the Second World War, and only read about the controversy over their name after we left, and on social media. Apparently, the owner(s) were most likely unaware of its historical context when naming their establishment. So we did not factor that into this review. Upon entering the Wolf's Lair, the seating was that of a modified Mediterranean restaurant. We chose the comfy seating looking out towards 29th Street and 30th Avenue. It had been raining heavily, and so we were just glad to be inside. Because our initial impression was that we were in a Mediterranean gastropub, we ordered lamb chops with lemon potatoes. The waiter, who may have been one of the owners, informed us that this vegetable was not on the menu; however, when our chops arrived, as you can see from the photos, we were indeed served lemon potatoes. We got what we ordered, which made us happy, and the chops were cooked to perfection. As we usually do not drink alcohol, beverages were not factored into our review. However, there was one thing we found a little strange and creepy. When we left, one of the employees, presumably an owner, insisted on coming out to help take photos. This was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, we got some good shots. In writing this review, we spent a lot of time deliberating our experience at the Wolf's Lair. We focused on the restaurant, service, food quality, and atmosphere. While the overall experience was excellent, we did not find Wolf's Lair to have a sports-bar atmosphere, but rather a family-dining atmosphere. On the day we visited, there was hardly any action at the bar, and most of us seated were into the food, if nothing else, with one family having a birthday party for one of their children. Overall, we had a good experience. Whether we come back to see if the Wolf's Lair becomes an actual sports bar, well, that's another matter.

When we…read morearrived, the hostess guided us to one of their private rooms downstairs, which was spacious enough to comfortably fit around 20-25 people--perfect for a group celebration. We had our own dedicated server, which made everything feel really seamless. They kept our drinks flowing the entire time, and it was a huge plus not having to flag anyone down. For food, I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The coleslaw on it added great flavor (honestly, I just wish there was a bit more of it). It came with fries that were perfectly crispy--exactly how fries should be. Overall, I had a really enjoyable time.

Located in one the busiest areas in Astoria. There's always plenty of foot traffic. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was very good overall. It's a bonus that brunch is served everyday until 4pm. For our meal, we ordered the Hangover Skillet and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes to share. Since there were only two of us, the portions were generous and left us satisfied. While the food and atmosphere were great. I wasn't impressed with the service. It wasn't terrible but it didn't match the dining experience. All in all, Oliver's still a solid.choice for brunch in Astoria.

Make this a second or last stop before you go home. The sourdough pretzels were really good, definitely worth the $6.50. The guac and chip didnt have enough salt, felt like there was no love put into that. The service was on point tho, very attuned with thier customers. I appreciate they are ADA compliant. The seats are kinda awkward and circular, wasn't a fan. When you pull them out to sit you have to make sure you don't drop the seat. Other than that had a great time with good company.

The ambiance was cool chilled relaxed had a great conversation with one of the bartenders about tattoos so I definitely and highly recommend if you live near the waters edge or your visiting I highly recommend.
