Connect Sports Lounge Albans Reviews
Connect Sport Lounge is where Astoria comes alive. 🏈🔥 Game on during the day, party mode at night. Incredible food, strong drinks, top-tier service, and DJs that keep the energy up all night long. Big screens. Great crowd. Unmatched vibes. If you’re not at Connect… where are you? 🎶🍸🏆
This place is definitely perfect for enjoying a delicious drink, great food, and most of all, watching your favorite team play with friends. I highly recommend the chicken with fries and the 7train cocktail!
The bartender (Alex) made a couple of suggestions based on my preferences, and they were absolutely perfect. Excellent service — 100% recommended. Pictured: CANELO KO

From the moment we walked in, the vibe was EVERYTHING. The music, the lighting, the energy — it felt exclusive but still welcoming. The DJ knew exactly how to read the room and kept the crowd engaged all night. The food and drinks were top tier. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were strong but smooth — you can tell they don’t cut corners. But what really made the experience stand out was the staff. Every single person was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. The host greeted us with a smile, the servers were on point without being overbearing, and security was respectful but still maintained order. You felt taken care of the entire night. Definitely a spot I would come back to and recommend for birthdays, girls’ night, or just a good time. 10/10 experience.
The service here is amazing! The ambiance is beautiful from the moment I stepped in. I love the vibe! The place is super clean, and the drinks are amazing. The workers and owners are incredibly welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone! Kelly the bartender was the best and Joshua, Kathy were the sweetest! Tony the manager was the cherry on top ! Definitely will be back !
I had an amazing experience at Connect. The atmosphere was great, but what really made the night special was the outstanding service. Carlos, the bartender, was fantastic. He prepared some absolutely delicious cocktails and was friendly, professional, and attentive the entire time. I also want to highlight the manager, Mary, who went above and beyond. She made sure all night long that everything was perfect for me and my group of friends. Her attention and care truly made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Excellent service, great drinks, and a wonderful team. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place.
This is one of queens stomping grounds. Our neighborhood cheers. Food and drinks on point. Sundays brunch is a classic. Straight new york culture with nyc top djs and a all out brunch menu. Drinks are strong and come in big cups. A must go too when hanging out in astoria queens.
Was such a fun place for ufc watch party! I love the music and the staff checked on us quite a few times despite being crowded. The DJ mixes were 🔥 🔥 🔥 My only recommendation would be to turn the volume down a tad!

Ana and cielo were great servers. They made sure we had everything we needed and were very attentive. 10/10 recommend. The burger was great as well.
Great spot to grab a drink and some food. Huge variety of cocktails, there’s always sports on the TVs. Super friendly staff too
Love the smash burgers and truffle fries!
The cocktails were amazing really tasty and beautifully crafted. The food was full of flavor and served with care. The service was genuinely great friendly and attentive throughout the night. The only downside was the music. It didn’t quite match the vibe for a party or night out, and the DJ wasn’t open to requests or reading the crowd. Everything else was spot on just a better music vibe would’ve made it a perfect night.
Kitchen was closed when I got there, ATP I think all bars are just serving juice for drinks

Overpriced, crowded with no order
Great looking place but the music is ear splitting loud and the tall bartender girl had no idea what I was trying to ask for when I said “Drink Menu” 3 times to her. I just settled for a margarita, a $23 dollar margarita at that. She puts ice in my cup, mixes the ingredients in the mixer, struggled with mixer (she couldn’t even get it open), pours the drink and it doesn’t reach the top so she fills my cup with MORE ICE instead. Side note, they keep the tequila poured out into the little shot cups. Not sure if that’s standard practice but it’s the first time I see someone just put a shot from the little measuring cup into a drink instead of pouring it first from the bottle, THEN the cup. Needless to say, it’s the last time I come to this bar with the numerous options there are across the street and around the corner. That margarita was not at all worth $23 dollars.
Left my keys with. The security and he took them with him, instead of left them at the bar, COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL manager David was totally neglecting, he send me to go to the security other job, it took me 5 days to recover my keys. UNPROFESSIONAL IN EVERY WAY do not waste your time in this place
