I love this spot for yummy snacks and drinks ~ the hotdogs and pretzels here are delicious! I'm spoiled now and will only eat them here. Andrew, the proprietor, plays excellent music too if you want to snack while enjoying Billy Strings. If a concert at Forest Hills Stadium is your destination, add this cool spot to your evening and you won't be sorry. read more

Nemo’s Beer Shop - Hot dog. Chips and a Rose Limonade: YUM! - Beer Bar Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

The vibe of this place is super cool and I love their selection of ciders. The owner is super friendly and knowledgable, definitely ask for his recommendations! It's a great place for a refreshing drink or to get gifts (you can get a custom 4pack of cans sealed, which I did for my dad for father's day and he loved it!) read more

My lifestyle isn't as much of a style as it is story, lore if you will. I walk, I walk and drive and drive, dogs at my side to new places and states, always scouting for 1977. I write it all down as beautiful places and new enemies fill the pages and it's within these pages I will forever stay. And before the new sail sets, I gotta go see the doctor, but he was running late, so I went drinking and friendly gent greeted me and poured me a winner. Interboro Pilsner, there was an interboro parkway - US's sixth most deadly road before Dept of Transportation widened it and straightened out the snake turns. A bountiful cooler of cans and bottles, five taps and a nice me u of finger foods - small place with a ton of character. I sat by the window and thought about October 1, the day we roll out, where shall we go? read more

Nemo’s Beer Shop - My doctor "is 45 minutes behind schedule", F it, I'll have a beer. Interboro Bushburg pilsner - Beer Bar Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

The craft beer selection is one of the best in Queens. The environment is perfect to relax and do some work on the laptop if you bring it. The service have always been top notch with me. No issues whatsoever. A local bar to chill and have brews and relax. read more

This is a great local spot to hang out with friends and enjoy wonderful brews. Your choices are never ending as the refrigerators a full with all kinds of drinks ranging from ales, ciders, hard seltzer to sours. My preference is the sours and my choices were countless. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. Music plays in the background which matches my taste, Phish, Grateful Dead and the like. Andrew supplies a small menu of perfect food to compliments your drinks. I have tried his grilled cheese which was outstanding and the hot dogs which was what the doctor ordered along with my sours. You must go and spend some time there, you will not be disappointed. read more

Top flight beer shop. Eight taps on draft. All were local, craft options with a nice variety of styles. Probably the best can and bottle selection in NYC. Their fridges are filled with regional craft breweries with a huge variety of styles. Laid back atmosphere. Seemed like the other patrons were all regulars. They had a TV playing a funky rock concert. One gender neutral and handicap accessible restrooms. Staff was super accommodating. Certainly a NYC beer destination. read more

Great neighborhood joint. Eclectic crowd. Good nosh food and a friendly owner who knows his beers .

With its launch announced in late 2019 and meeting with understandable challenges (what with the pandemic and all), I was delighted this weekend to see that, at long last, Nemo's Beer Shop is open for business! Granted, Forest Hills NYC does offer a variety of pubs and drinking establishments, but one ENTIRELY and seriously devoted to the fine craft of beer was long-desired and sorely needed. The space is on the small side but comfortable, focusing on the practical: a few tables, a bar (with 8 local beers on tap available in 5oz tasting portions as well as 8/12/16oz draft), and several refrigerators along the wall sporting an impressive array of approx 60 locally-brewed beers, along with a small variety of local snacks (pretzels and jerky), with just enough tables and counter-space to accommodate a outing with friends or one simply wishing to grab a solitary drink in passing. While this may be my sole and subjective bias, but what was personally appreciated was the absence of a television and an overly noisy and obnoxious "sports bar" atmosphere -- as if the owner deliberately intended on cultivating an establishment (true to its name) singularly devoted to the appreciation of beer itself and the comradery to be found among those who appreciate such. Welcome to the neighborhood Nemo's -- Five stars and well-merited! I can easily envision myself a regular patron. read more

I am hesitantly writing this because Nemos is the best kept secret in forest hills, and I selfishly don't want it to get overcrowded- but they deserve it. This place is awesome- so many high quality beers to choose from that you can't find anywhere else, amazing food from local purveyors, and a welcoming and relaxed space to relax or have fun no matter what kind of day you're trying to have. I can't believe this place isn't constantly packed! It's amazing. read more

Sometimes less is more. Where you don't have a dozen TVs competing for your attention, rowdy groups, and trying to be everything to everyone. Enter Nemo's and you've entered a beer oasis. Independently owned and operated, focused on a good variety of beers, with a sizable canned beer cooler for even more choices. Super friendly owner pouring drafts, small but comfortable space, and customers that appreciate the vibe. We started conversations with two other tables off the cuff. It's that kind of place. Definitely my new favorite watering hole in Forest Hills. Please support local businesses, it's a gem! read more

This place has a good selection of beers, particularly local beers and my favorite, Double IPAs. However, the owner, Andrew, is an absolute sh*tbag. My husband says that Andrew has "the charisma of a piece of toast." He doesn't seem to understand that in the United States, it is customary NOT to tip the proprietor of an establishment --one need only have watched "Gilmore Girls" to know this piece of information (PS Andrew - I always tipped if someone other than you served me). He is vindictive to customers who don't tip him. Also, he frequently serves his vegetarian chili cold, and my husband says that he is skimp-flating on the bratwurst sandwiches. The bodega up the street has a decent selection of canned beers, and I'd recommend just going there and getting them to go rather than dealing with this bullsh*t. Oh, also, Andrew is *always* smoking weed on the job. Hey, he's the owner and can do what he wants, but when he leaves the windows open in summer, you can always smell pot inside. Gross. read more

This will be short and succinct. The owner doesn't understand people, which is sad for a proprietor. He was rude and idiotic. Came in with my dog. Stood there for 5 minutes looking at the selection (which was nice and why he didn't get a single star) in order to grab something to go. My dog is super cute and all the patrons were petting him and wanting to meet him and so I didn't care. I looked toward to owner and he gave me a stink face. I asked him why and long story short he didn't want to dog there but didn't have the balls to say anything to me about it. Mind you, I live around the corner and would've dropped the dog off and came back to pick up beer. Honestly I would've spent more if he just acted like a man and said what he wanted. Clearly was bullied in high school. Asked my buddy who lives around the corner and confirmed the owner is a weirdo. Avoid this place. I want it to succeed because I love beer but this dude is hurt and needs a crash course in human. Fuck him. read more

Very cool place to grab a cold brew and listen to some tunes. Andrew was very friendly and knowledgeable!

Not a comfortable friendly vibe. Very stand off ish vibe. They are not interested in making money if they were they would have asked if I wanted another drink. Instead a guy who worked there just came by and grabbed my empty cup without a word or eye contact. I will stick to my regular spot Cobblestone pub down the block. Better vibe and friendly. Go to cobblestone instead! read more

Love this place, it's been a great addition to the neighborhood. It's a unique place for this area with a really cool vibe and a great selection of beers. Andrew the owner is awesome and always gives great recommendations. Highly recommend it. read more

I live in Forest Hills and I've been to this place a few times in the last few months with some friends and let me tell you their beer doesn't taste any better then a cheap beer or ale from the 99 cent store. I really don't like to write bad reviews to businesses especially with the pandemic and how bars/ restaurants are struggling to make ends meet today, but I really have had it with this so called owner that was beyond rude to me after I stopped by and used the restroom. I have come as a customer a few times and really needed to make an emergency restroom stop. Since I had patronized his establishment before, I didn't think it would be a big deal to quickly use the restroom. When I got out of the restroom the owner was very rude and nasty to me, telling me to never come back to his bar. I asked him why and he said because I wasn't spending money and that my type shouldn't be allowed to come to his place. I was appalled at his behavior and attitude and told him I will gladly not ever return. read more

Love this place! We were so happy to see it open after a long wait during the pandemic. They have a great rotating tap list of local beers and a great refrigerator section with cans... a nice mix of unusual stuff and the good local stuff like KCBC and Finback. Nice laidback place to grab a beer in the neighborhood. Cheers to Nemo's! read more

It is a small and very cozy space. Few chairs and tables where we can sit and chat while drinking beer. The best thing about here is you can taste the beers before you choose which one you prefer to drink. Not many options but for me it's enough! I also liked the place because the bartender was kind and friendly. read more

Fabulous shop with over 200 craft beers, ciders, non-alcoholic beverages, hard kombucha tea, ginger beer, and a curated selection of eight ever-changing beers on tap. Well established menu with bratwurst, pretzels, and housemade beer cheese, to name a few. My favorite is the chili - hearty and wholesome. The staff has endless knowledge and will gladly answer any questions. Fantastic atmosphere with the friendliest of patrons. A neighborhood gem! read more

Walked by the in-construction storefront for two years waiting for Nemo's pandemic-delayed opening. I'm delighted to report it was worth the wait. Really nice staff, terrific beers, and a super nice space with big open windows to the street. Super friendly neighborhood spot - perfect for just dropping in, grabbing a pint and texting your friends to let them you'll be there for an hour or two. I've already done that a couple times and wound up with a group of 4-8 people all sharing beers and stories. It's the perfect post-pandemic neighborhood spot to see people IN PERSON and have some great beers while you're at it. Thanks to Andrew and the staff of Nemo's for brining this great gift to Forest Hills! read more

A cozy little hidden gem in forest hills. The service is always friendly and the beer selection is great!

Loved his extensive knowledge of beer, doesn't feel like you local craft beer brewery, feels homey and on a personable level. Makes great selections and pairs with tasty foods. Even has beer floats for desert can't wait to try. read more

Cool local place, similar to Astoria Bier and cheese. Nice selection of local beer on tap and cans. Will definitely be back.

Great selection, employees are kind and helpful, and never overly crowded. Love this place :)
