I decided to suck it up and make the trek out to Astoria, Queens, for a get together that a friend was throwing.

Yes, normally the words "Queens" and "partying" make me snicker when mentioned in the same sentence, but I was pleasantly surprised at the good time I had here tonight.

As you get off the Steinway Street subway stop it is a bit of a long walk down two avenues and a few blocks over to reach Blackbirds. Steinway Street still reminds me of a place having an identity crisis as it is lined with small shops and businesses that remind me of living in the surburbian strip mall hell that I escaped from so many years ago

Walking up the the entrance you are greeted by a nicely framed structure unlike others that I had just passed. Entering inside there was an energetic crowd of locals from the area enjoying the evening with good brews and hearty bar foods. I was actually a bit impressed with the beer list which included German favorites on tap such as Radeberger and Hofbrau served in the appropriate mugs. Also on hand were other craft type beers and drinks served in mason jars. One in our group was drinking Magners Cider which came in a large foil lined bottle. You can really get your drink on here, and prices are a bit cheaper than at the bars in Manhattan! Saw many people getting wings here, which looked and smelled wonderful. I heard someone proclaim that this place is known for their wings and Wednesday is wing night. Might be worth another trek here to try them out. Being lent and all, I am trying to be a good boy and not eat meat on Fridays, as I can hear my Grandma's voice yelling out "Don't forget not to eat meat on Friday Philip!!! It's a sin!!! I will pray for you!". But, damn, I wanted to sin so bad when those wings walked by.

Place is set up with a long bar up front with high table seating along windows across from it, and a larger seating area in the back. Exposed brick wall with a dartboard, and a few flatscreens that were showing college basketball. Pretty crowded here tonight and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. Digital jukebox was on premises and seemed to be getting a good workout. A mix of tunes were being played, from dance, to rock, and a lot of Journey. Oh, yes, Journey. A suburban flashback started to give me the cold sweats, but it passed quickly as Mike and Ben F kept me entertained with good humor and ripping on each other. Great company makes any place a fun time. Even at a bar that is straddling the line between city life cool, and married suburban couple with 2.5 kids.

Now that I have experienced Blackbirds I might actually have to come back here again to try the wings and sample one of those mason jar drinks.This was actually a nice bar with a good staff and decent local crowd. It was a trek outside the confines of the city that proved worthwhile.

A Friendly Place for a brew and good food. I came in here by myself for no other reason than it had been a hell of a day and I wanted a place to have a bite and have a drink. I walked in and was immediately treated like I was a regular. The beer was so cold that when I tapped it, it formed a bit of slush at the top. Oh, Yes. I had some wings that were nuclear. Very tasty but it was great that I had cold beer with me. The waitstaff was attentive without being hovering. They seemed to know people who were walking in the place. I love the music in the place. Very cool.

Decent Brunch. Live down the street from this place. They have a nice beer selection on tap. However, I went for brunch. This featured eggs, choice of pancakes or french toast, and bagels and lox. The kicker was you get unlimited mimosas, screwdrivers, or bloody marys. It was like 15 bucks which isn't bad considering I had a good 5 drinks and breakfast. Service was a little slow but over all I would go again. Main issue was the gaggle of douches in the place.

Solid pub food, good vibe, good service. So we finally tried out Blackbirds today. Despite rumors to the contrary, it is NOT the best Bloody Mary I've ever had, but if you go for lunch and they are bottomless, it's a lot better than most. :-)

The burger was solid, and so were the wings. The extra hot wings are scary hot - we actually mixed the hot and extra hot sauces on the side and were suffering.

The vibe was friendly, they had nice TVs with hockey and baseball on, and our server was exactly what you want a server to be.

We'll definitely be back, for brunch, and for NCAA games next year...

One minor gripe - we heard the same Bob Dylan song twice in the span of maybe 90 minutes being there. I get that they're into 60's politically charged music and all, but there needs to be more variety than that...I can help folks, just let me know. :-)

Blackbird’s is one of those neighborhood hangouts where it’s clear that mostly everyone knows everyone else, and the bartenders and waitstaff treat customers, both familiar and unfamiliar, as if they were part of their family. The bar/restaurant is rectangular shaped and outfitted in dark colors – reds and exposed brick – that complement a dark wood bar and tables.

How can I forget that day when I discovered this restaurant, since then I have not stopped visiting it every time I can and even more so now that my husband has become my partner in crime, the pounds I have gained, so worth it! lol. i highly recomend the Jalapeño Poppers, the wings (dont forget the thursdays they have insane flavors) the tidbits, the french onion soup, the FM, cajun pasta, everything on the menu is TNT POW 💥 of flavors in your mouth, they have a nice bar with great selection of draft beers,wines and spirits, staff people is so kind and service is fast and efficient!

Good wings (BBQ sauce is good) and fries. Unsure about their hard alcohol and artisan beer flavors but a nice spot to go to in Astoria.

We did the Thursday wing special. Wings were great but the Lemonade is the best hard lemonade you will ever have. The perfect amount of sweet sour Booz and refreshing!

Great bar with daily specials, bartenders are always friendly and the food is always good. Wings are highly recommended and on the weekends (with nice weather) they have a spiked lemonade stand!

Visiting from Arizona, we dined and had some drinks here. The (medium) hot wings were delish!, we had to come back. I had a Magners Irish Cider as well, service was good as well. We will be back during our next visit to have some wings and drinks.

Very nice place in queens. It is a bar restaurant. It is very nice, staff is friendly and prices are affordable. Good beer selection and food is good. They also have darts if you want to play. The place was busy but not super crowded for a Saturday night. Nice spot to try!
