Forest Hills sits in central Queens along Queens Boulevard, with Austin Street as its main shopping strip and the Forest Hills–71st Avenue station as its transit hub. Our Forest Hills happy hour list is short and strung along that corridor. Rove and Tap House share a block of Austin Street, a few minutes from 71st Avenue. Guantanamera is farther east on Queens Boulevard by the 75th Avenue stop, and Cobblestones Pub and Biergarten is out near Union Turnpike, at the Kew Gardens edge of the neighborhood.

The deals here are simple: draft beer, wine and mixed drinks at a set price, plus caipirinhas, mojitos and piña coladas at Guantanamera. Most of them are weekday affairs. Rove is the exception on Austin Street, with wine and beer specials every day, Saturday and Sunday included. Guantanamera's window opens at midday and closes before the after-work rush, so it suits a late lunch better than a drink after the office.
