Blackbird’s Bar & Restaurant

Blackbird's draws a refreshingly mixed crowd from across the city who gather around thoughtfully curated drafts and wine selections that punch above typical neighborhood bar standards. The space has that welcoming feel that works equally well on a crisp winter evening when you want to warm up with a drink, or any other time you're seeking honest hospitality without the pretense. Located in Astoria, Queens, the bar keeps things interesting with rotating specials that make exploring their lineup worth the trip back again and again.
