Astoria Cocktail Bars on the Map
OffCity: A Broadway Prelude in Astoria
A leafy plant, bottle shelves and a decorative partition frame OffCity's vintage-inspired room at the start of the route. The volume stays low enough for easy conversation. The seasonal cocktail list includes the Pornstar Martini. The bar also has a dedicated happy hour menu. Entry is free at this first stop. Share truffle fries or mushrooms from the tapas menu. Weekly live jazz and karaoke bring music into the room.
Khalo Cantina: Dinner and Drinks on 31st Avenue
Dogs are welcome on Khalo Cantina's patio beneath lighted umbrellas. The family-run restaurant opens daily at 11:00 AM. It stays open until midnight. Inside, music accompanies a lively room. Choose birria tacos or mole enchiladas for an evening meal. A mezcal margarita can accompany either dish. The kitchen styles its plates with attention to their appearance. Look at the colors and arrangement of the food as it arrives.
Barkada Social Club: Astoria After Hours
At Barkada Social Club, Filipino comfort food moves from crispy lumpia to lechon kawali and tapsilog with cured beef and egg. Kare-kare comes with homemade shrimp paste. The stylish dining room stays quiet enough for easy conversation. Ube espresso martinis extend the drink list. Sunday brings a livelier brunch gathering with bottomless drinks such as Bellinis. Friday and Saturday service continues until 1:00 AM. The address is 33-05 Broadway.
