Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the best parts of this bar was our bartender Kerry who let us know about the history of the bar and area. He was sociable and made the experience more fun. There was live music by the fire in the back which was really cool, and the NBA All star game on the TVs in the main area. Drink selection was fantastic and the whole experience was awesome. We've since returned and will again and again. Awesome spot!

I went to this bar with friends on a weekday and it was pretty crowded!
The prices are ok and the atmosphere is cool.

On our recent visit to New York we stayed in LIC and discovered this great bar on our first day during our initial exploration of the area around our hotel. It was a Saturday afternoon and the bar was busy. It has an outside courtyard and large screen TVs showing sports. We settled in to watch the Kentucky Derby in a very convivial atmosphere.
LIC Bar doesn't serve food but they are happy for people to order in, or to bring their own. On that Saturday there was a group celebrating a birthday who had brought nibbles and birthday cake.
The bar offers a range of craft beers and the wine was also good. We visited a couple more times during our stay and enjoyed ourselves each time. It seems to be one of an expanding number of bars and restaurants on Vernon Boulevard.

Stayed in Long Island City for 4 nights and spent a great couple of evenings in here.
The place has a brilliant vibe, and the best barman in NY in Gary. Highly recommend.

Cool and relaxed place to chill with friends and have some cocktails. Has a nice outdoor patio where you can look up at the moon and dream and think about what you want to do with your life. Friendly staff.

In LIC for a wedding and enjoyed a walk 0n a beautiful day along the East River. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at the bar and were pleasantly delighted at the hospitality and fellow patrons. Tho we didn't use the outdoor patio, Stephanie at the bar was a wealth of info while mixing a delicious Dark & Stormy. When the regulars came in, it was more of a good thing. Many good tips about what to do while enjoying NYC. We will be back for sure when our travels include NYC. Thanks Stephanie for making us feel welcome.

The bar is great. My favorite thing about LIC bar is the musical acts. They have such a great lineup every month. The outdoor space is great in the summer. The bartenders are friendly and they have a good beer selection. This is my go-to bar when I am in LIC.

Nice local bar. Good spot in the summer when the back outdoor area is open. Especially fun when the live music is available.

Was staying down the street at the Wyndham Garden Inn hotel, so walked down here with a co worker to grab a quick drink and also wanted to get some food. Bartender was really friendly and fun, but I would advise staying away from anything with OJ, kind of ruined the drink as it was horrible tasting... switched to a different cocktail later and it was great. Drinks are made with strong pours and a lot of fun. Great local place to chill and hang out with a nice mix of locals and visitors.
This neighborhood has such a great vibe, could really see that living in this area would be great. The only downside was the lack of food.... I really wanted some dinner with my drinks or even some food, however we had to leave and go elsewhere for food.
I will come back here for sure for drinks when in the neighborhood!!
