Updated · refreshes daily

Astoria fills the northwest corner of Queens along the East River, a short ride from Midtown on the elevated N and W trains above 31st Street. Our list splits into two main clusters of nearly equal size: Ditmars Boulevard and 23rd Avenue around the last stop, Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard, and the restaurant rows on 30th Avenue and 31st Avenue near the 30th Avenue station. A smaller group sits on Broadway close to Steinway Street, where the M and R stop, with a few more near the Broadway and 36th Avenue stations on the N and W.

Astoria happy hour runs mostly Monday to Friday, and the offers are broad rather than fussy: well drinks, house wine, drafts and frozen margaritas at a set price, often with bar food alongside. Mexican and Latin kitchens show up often, from Spanglish NYC and Hoja Santa to La Vecina, and sports bars and pubs fill in much of the rest. A few places start at midday, including Spanglish NYC and Daly's Pub. Many deals here are bar only, at Burgerology, AY GUEY and Lunera among others, so head straight for a stool.

Getting there

The N and W run above 31st Street, stopping at 39th Avenue, 36th Avenue, Broadway, 30th Avenue, Astoria Boulevard and the end of the line at Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard. The 30th Avenue and Ditmars Boulevard stations are each the nearest stop for a large share of the bars on our list. The M and R stop at Steinway Street and Northern Boulevard, which suits the bars along Broadway east of the elevated tracks. A few spots on the far end of 30th Avenue are close to ten minutes on foot, so check the walking time on each listing.

Before you go

As everywhere in the city, menu prices in Astoria exclude the 8.875 percent sales tax, and an 18 to 20 percent tip is customary on top. Bar-only rules are common here, so expect to sit at the bar for the deal at Burgerology, AY GUEY and Lunera. Small neighborhood spots change hours and menus often; the last-checked date on each bar's page tells you how fresh our details are.
