Dutch Kills 27-24 Jackson Avenue, Queens, NY 11101

"Always a great cocktail to be had here. The taste of your drink, scent of the room, feel of the glass with a giant ice cube (made with care) in your hand. Bring great company and you're in for a very good evening. My BIL introduced me to this place years ago, and though I don't visit often enough, I'm always very happy when I do."

"Dutch Kills is a Long Island City classic. The cocktails have always been creative and fairly priced (I had the Basquiat and the Chuparosa). I like sitting at the bar and admiring the memorabilia on the walls and ceiling. Service was a bit slow, and the bar was not even full when I was there. Nonetheless, the drinks are awesome, will definitely come again."

"This review is based off of my first visit. I just discovered this establishment this weekend. First impression: sophisticated goth. My friend recommended this place for the strong, unique cocktails. When we arrived, Sisters of Mercy was playing and I was instantly drawn to the dark inviting atmosphere. The host was welcoming yet very thorough in checking our IDs. My two friends and I were seated in a cozy booth and each was given some refreshing lemon water with cucumber. We were given the option to be seated in a booth or hang out at the bar. On a Saturday night, there were A LOT of people at the bar so I'm glad we stayed in the booth. We also had the benefit of having someone check in on us throughout the night to keep the drinks flowing. He was pretty chill and attentive without rushing or pressuring us to order right away. Made sure we gave him a great tip for his awesome service. We were there for about 4 hours and ordered about 3 fancy drinks each. Highly recommend this place for a low key date night or intimate hang out with a small group. Drinks recommended: chilled coffee (made with rum, absinthe & cold brew)"

"Friend took us out to this speakeasy bar near his apartment and i gotta say, it's the exact vibe i was looking for on a Friday night! Bartender was helpful and crafted every cocktail we ordered with perfection. Would definitely come back here again to try their other drinks if i'm in the area :)"
