Is it worth the trip?
Yes — The Greats of Craft is a bar at 10-15 43rd Ave in Queens, rated 4.7 out of 5 across Google reviews. The short version: small food menu. Beyond the roof views, the venue features a bright indoor warehouse space alongside a robust community events program. The covered rooftop hosts private events like weddings, set against a cozy, music-filled atmosphere. While the team is often praised as friendly, visitor feedback points to some inconsistency in service, and the rotating craft beer selection is relatively small. The schedule is spread across the week, with 1 service days, so the visit fits an ordinary afternoon rather than a planned night out. The order matters more than the list: start with whatever the room is drinking, ask the bartender what is on the house list, and keep the first round simple. A counter seat gets you served faster than a table at peak, and the check arrives when you ask rather than when you are done. It sits at 10-15 43rd Ave in Queens, close enough to fold into an ordinary walk rather than a dedicated trip.
