David SteinbergerJanuary 21, 2012Best burger in Astoria. I like Bare Burger but Sweet Afton burger>Bare Burger.
Do not go here without trying the fried pickles! Mac and cheese is great also. Try the modelo especial with lime and tabasco.
Best burger in ny but skip the fries. And fried pickles are more like fritters.
Manda ShettletonFebruary 13, 2012Grrrrear burgers. Visit their sister bar, Bua, when you're in east village!
Taryn HaightDecember 3, 2010best bar in astoria. cozy, great music, cute bartenders and PICKLES. get the pickle martini.
The burger is insanely good. Get the fried pickles if you have somebody to share them with - otherwise it's way too much.
Erin StadnikFebruary 3, 2011Try the cucumber Collins, it's the best! A nice refreshing drink to remind me of warmer months to come!
M TFebruary 12, 2016Portions are a little small but juicy burger. Service at bar is less than desired.
Luz OzunaJune 28, 2015Great atmosphere but in order to pay with a CC you have to put a minimum charge of $20 which is really annoying

Jimmy HendricksSeptember 2, 2010If you are lucky you will see the famous legal titon matt walsh eating fried pickles with special sauce dripping from his chin!- David SteinbergerApril 24, 2010The deep fried pickles were ok. Burger was quite tasty. The jalepeña infused vodka and cherries drink was awesome. Highly recommended if you can stand the hot.

Leonardo AltafineAugust 24, 2014I actually don't like the fried pickles! They are in a thick batter and are NOT crispy!
Robin BunevichMay 2, 2011Best fried pickles and Mac and cheese. If you flirt with the waitress you might get a hand job
Aaron WhattonDecember 15, 2010Best burger in town.....maybe best in the city.....awesome staff.....great vibe
great bar but wishing it peaks... it seems like it's only good for pregaming or after-party... good brunch menu
Adam KubanMay 17, 2011Great burger, but avoid the fried pickles. Yeah, they're what everyone orders, but they're soggy rather than crisp. Read more
- Great beer bar with rotating taps, cool atmosphere, and good burgers.
Althea WhiteMay 7, 2011Beware the benches on the patio. Wear jeans or you'll end up with splinters in your ass (like me).
