This place is a hidden gem! I stopped here after an all day outing for a glass of wine and small bites and they did not disappoint. It was standing room only as I didn’t have a reservation, but once a table opened, the host seated us promptly. The vibe is intimate, dark, and a great place to grab a drink with friends. For the meat & cheese platter, I got the smoked duck breast & prosciutto which was fresh & went perfect with my wine. I typically like west coast oysters because they’re small and sweet, but I could appreciate the ones I ordered from here. Overall, I had a good experience and if I’m in Long Island City again, I will definitely be back :)
Excellent place for cocktails! It’s the best in LIC I had. They have season cocktails and my all time favorite is Grey garden and French 57. Happy hour till 7pm, $1 off for cocktails
Stopped by for a quick drink- nice atmosphere. Drink was pretty good too. Service was a bit slow though even though they weren’t busy when we came.
Over the year I passed by this place during the day a few times and have been wanting to try it. So glad I finally did a month ago! Yes late post.
My friend and I opted to sit at the bar, very nice and friendly bartender. I love the dimly rustic ambience with pretty chill vibe, and not too loud music in the background. Lively but not too crazy!
We didn’t have dinner but had a great time catching up over Oysters on Half Shell, and some Charcuterie & Cheese.
I am adding this joint on my ‘will be back’ list and definitely be back soon!
Joey did a great job of curating a wonderful charcuterie -
Cocktails are unique and tasty …amazing !
I also had a bottle of wine and the glasses it was served in were perfect
Good bar with beer, cocktails and vibe.
The bar is not too crowded, and there are quite a good selection of cocktails.
The cocktails here are rather smooth and light, and it might be more acceptable for light drinkers.
The beer here is also pretty good, heavy drinkers could try out their beer.
A recommended bar that is not crowded in LIC!
1/21/23 i’ve heard of this place many times but I’ve never gone until this day. we were looking for a nice cozy place place to have dinner and boy! did we make the right choice. Everything about this place was awesome especially the service given to us by Joe he was awesome and the cheese board , drinks , ambience, music everything was great. Of course I must recommend and me. Of course, I must recommend and return 👍
I think I found my new neighborhood spot - this place is absolute perfection and has some great happy hour offerings including $1 oysters! Looking forward to many more trips here after work and during the weekends. If you’re in the area, you have to stop by and try out some of their delicious drinks!
I’m so glad I went here. They were good about checking proof of vaccination. They have outdoor seating but I wanted to dine solo at the bar. The staff is great, very professional and organized. I was so hungry. The ‘raw bar’ oysters came out quickly followed by a pear salad and cheese plate. I watched the mixologist serve up beautiful cocktails with a relaxed and friendly demeanor. I had four nights in Long Island and I ate here twice.
The Beast Next Door is my favorite place in Long Island City! Such a hidden gem. If you are looking for a date night, corporate happy hour or even a private party, this is the perfect spot. The food is delicious, the drinks are phenomenal and the staff is so accommodating.
