Excellent cocktails, service, and company! A must try when in the neighborhood. Love Paul!

There cocktails are unique and made with love. I look forward to coming here to have a drink

Great service! The tamarind sauce was amazing even if it’s not around all the time. Great drinks and atmosphere

Staff was friendly, accommodating and fast. Drinks were A+++

Really great cocktail with the laid back atmosphere — loves it!

Small bar w/ limited seating inside, but it does have outdoor seating (~3 tables). Cocktails were good and strong. Service was attentive and friendly. Glad to have a cocktail bar come up in the area - much needed, as we typically would go to Dutch Kills for cocktails in the Court Square area.

Delicious drinks in a very nice space. Smooth Operator and I'm Sorry Ms Jackson were both very good. Door to enter is from the street level. We were there in the early evening so it was brighter than usual. Great music too!

lovely lowkey spot, great atmosphere, great drinks

Great cocktails, friendly staff, good vibes

No food just a little small bar a quick walk to the train and nice drinks and nice atmosphere. Small but perfect little hip hop hole in the wall ❤️

Lovely spot, great drinks, music and bartender.

Such a good spot. Delicious drinks and a great convo with the bartender all night. Highly recommend! The space is small fyi

Went to this place with the Mrs. and our 21 month old at around 8 pm on a Saturday evening... because it was overcast, the place was moderately busy and we were lucky to get seating outdoors. They have arranged about 3, 4 seater tables outside. We ordered Shook Ones (Dewars, orange zest, home made orange syrup) which was an absolutely brilliant smoked whiskey that my wife absolutely loved. I ordered No Show which was good... Service here is absolutely excellent. The staff is very friendly, and they were very nice enough to get some finger food for our 21 month old. Overall, we had a very nice experience here and we'll definitely return here.

PJ Paul Danny All all exceptional !

Infamous is one of the best cocktail bars in NYC and I've been regularly coming here for the last year. They make custom cocktails and have a rotating menu every few months.

PJ is the best! Highly recommend. Great atmosphere.

Great hidden, little cocktail bar. The staff is very knowledge about their drinks. They also have a pretty solid beer selection. Entrance is unmarked around the corner from extra butter or you get in from inside of extra butter

Love it it's definitely a good crowd and old school vibes, come check us out

Excellent experience, bartender was on point, great conversation and attention to detail with his customers. Space is cozy, and it has a nice, relaxed vibe. Great spot to come and hang out while enjoying some specialty drinks.

Oh is amazing! Drinks are fabulous!! Please come see him!!

Drinks are super high-quality. They do not skimp on the amount of alcohol they put in their drinks. Bartenders are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about mixology. Great date spot.

trendy place with relaxed vibes. delicious drinks with 10/10 presentation and service

Stumbled upon this place w my friend and they took such good care of us. I didn’t get his name but the bartender in the Air Force one jacket was the best 💘

Best bar in New York. PJ is the best bartender in the world, amazing drinks and conversation. Would love to go back any time I am in LIC. Just wish I lived near by.

Great vibe, solid prices, awesome bartenders!

This is a fun little bar tucked behind the butter streetwear store. I ordered the cocktail with the pineapple puree and it was so good! Refreshing and hit the spot. I feel like this would be the perfect place for a first date!

Great beerselection and a hidden gem. Was happily surprised to see a heady topper from the alchemist!

Cute tiny bar in LIC. The staff were really nice. Cocktails were great

I think I just found the best cocktail bar in the city. And it’s in this unassuming corner in LIC. They have legit the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Fantastic service and amazing drinks. Can’t rave enough about this place.

This is one of the best speak easy bar I've been to in NYC. It is more of an exclusive bar where you have to be lucky to find and get into it. The vibes is amazing and they got too many signature drinks. I was amazed by the cool talks and service from the bartender Anand. Dude was too coool and made my time there worthy. Overall, I love the place and will definitely be there again n again

Sexy space for the right crowed. Amazing knowledgeable bartender with exceptional crated cocktail options. Must be visit.. lowkey gem!

Moody, classy and trendy at the same time ❤️ the drinks are awesome and right for me cuz it’s deliciously strong 🥰

A solid neighborhood cocktail bar that has excellent drinks, service and vibe. Happy hours on great cocktails Mondays to Thurs 4-7.

The bar was smaller than expected but if you can get a seat, the drinks are worth squeezing in for. The bartender is very kind and willing to provide solid suggestions.

Great cocktails in a small speakeasy style space. My personal favorite is “Ego Trippin” because I love a good cucumber flavored cocktail!

Great atmosphere, even greater drinks. Shoutout to Paul, he’s the best!

Such a cool spot - really love the dark green lighting. Our bartender was very friendly and the drinks were so creative! A great place for a date but maybe not the best spot for larger groups. The space is small but very tasteful in the way they made it more intimate.

This is one of THE BEST espresso martinis I’ve ever had. Love this place.

Pj very kind and friendly first time visiting and loved it, great drinks!!! Defly coming back

Really cool speakeasy bar in nyc. The bartender, PJ always make amazing drinks. If you ever visit Long Island City, definitely one of the places to visit and chill with people.

The attention to detail to service, PJ and the staff are polite. Stop by for a quick drink or night out with friends

I love this place! They have the best espresso martinis I’ve ever tried. 🫶🏻

Stopped in for a cricket event. Friends and I were happily surprised to try the bartender’s tamarind syrup — so delicious! Definitely a place that cares about cocktail craft. Some fun beers on the menu too. Small but mighty spot.

Brings a much needed cocktail bar/speakeasy vibe to this part of Long Island City

A nice cozy spot for small gatherings in LIC. The cocktails taste great though it’s on the lighter side.

Really enjoyed the hole-in-the-wall ambiance here, and the server was excellent. A great place to escape a good cocktail or two.

Music dope. Drinks dope. Bartender cool. Great name for a bar in Queens. Will be back.

Great mocktail list - I enjoyed the NY state of mind drink - very balanced and niece garnish. Very intimate atmosphere. Really cool place for catching up w/ friends.

Cozy and great decoration inside. The cocktails are inventive, look great, and taste great. Only downside is the prices are on the high side with $17 cocktails.

Lovely little bar with delicious drinks! Anand was a great bartender, very friendly and professional !

Cute, quirky and hidden with excellent cocktails!

Awesome drinks and service! Great music and atmosphere! Def recommend!!! Cool vibes!

Been a few times the last few months. GREAT cocktails. Don’t wait to give this place a try.

Such a cool spot - can’t wait to come back again! The drinks were on point and the wait staff was funny and welcoming. Really nice vibe in here and the place is perfect for a date or hangout with some friends. They have a huge selection and everything was made with perfection.

Cute little spot! Great drinks, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Incredible drinks, great staff, and well hidden in this little corner of NYC. This gem of a bar is a must for anyone who wants to feel like a local and enjoy the spirit of NY!

best neighborhood bar in the area. amazing drinks and incredible hospitality. if you dont know, now you knowwwww

Marvin Mendoza-McSwane

Fun spot. Great Bartendar and good vibes. We found this Gem after visiting the museum. Great way to end a artsy afternoon.

Sungwoo Park

Ambiance: Dimly lit, comfortable couches/cushions Music: Early 2000’s to latest hip hop/rap music Drinks: If you like sweet cocktails, “Crush on you” and “Make it clap”. If you prefer Smokey cocktails “Ms. Fat Booty”. If you prefer more bourbon, “Rebirth of Slick”. Music isn’t too loud, a good balance of hip, loudness, and casual. They have variety of drinks like wine, beer, and cocktails. Something for everyone. Staff are friendly, and you can comfortably chat with locals. It would be local 5/5 place for me if they had some small bites along with the drinks. Maybe some fries, fried peanuts, small bite tacos/tater tots.

Kate

cozy little spot that’s really easy to get to from the train. i like how compact but spacious of a space it is. prompt service, communicative, delicious drinks! will definitely be back.

William Wszolek

Bartender: PJ! Guy has been here since the inception, NY guy through and through. Makes a great drink and makes a great cocktail Music : 🎵🎤🎶 90’s Hip Hop - Great music

Sarah

This would be a great date spot (or a good place to mingle if you're single, totally not speaking from personal experience...)

C Garin

Came here for a quick happy hour drink. Loved the music taste, great service, and even better drinks ! Overall vibe was a 10/10 ! Will be coming back

Barbara Lindner (Travelling Wife)

Went for drinks 8/7/2025 and it was hopping. DJ on the street and three tables outside. There were like 6 small tables inside. Some were reserved however not sure how you reserve a table. Cool vibe mostly young people being seen. I asked bartender to make something fruity and with vodka. He did just that and it was very good! Was able to get a table after a bit which was like gold! Very small inside however chic and city vibe. Husband and friend had a version of an old fashioned with bourbon and mezcal which they thought was different and they liked it. The name was Know the ledge. I would try this for a drink and cool for a date just know with music hard to hear.

Karen Nelson

Lovely clean bar! I kind of want to gate keep because I love how empty it was on a Saturday night , not full of disgusting screaming people 🤣. The staff were super courteous and made great cocktails. I posted on IG and would definitely return

Lauren W.

Great corner spot with the best vibes and really excellent creative cocktails. Uber friendly bartender PJ is great. We came for happy hour (til 7) and stuck around for quite a while. All around worth stopping by— will be back!

Nich C.

Amazing atmosphere, great cocktails, and super chill old school rap ~ wonderful date spot

Khoi Pham

Fun spot for drinks. The Ill Street Blues was pretty nice. Loved the simple but sleek setup. The staff is super friendly.

Alex

It’s disconcerting, the ability we have to drink beers in the sunshine. We arrived at a table whose conversations echo into and abound from the nook that sits behind. The nook belongs to PS1, so every now and then you hear whispers of the wonderful artists whose careers were lost to the sterilization of that great space. The sun sets, the beers are delicious, the environment is curious, and entirely welcome for those who recognize the vision. Brilliant establishment, for the beer curation and the sun shine angle.

Amanda Hunter

Came for a few after work drinks. On a Monday- Had a tasty margarita and enjoyed the late 90s hip hop playing. Great happy hour prices and relaxed atmosphere. Entrance inside Extra Butter. Bought a pair of sneakers right after.

Akshay Kashyap

Easily one of the best bars in LIC. Cozy speakeasy vibe, great drinks, good music, and the bartender PJ’s the man. Highly recommend.

Samir Goel

Infamous is one of the best bars/speakeasy’s I’ve ever been too. The ambience is incredible, it’s rarely overcrowded, and the serve is impeccable. I love this little know gem in Long Island City and would highly recommend to anyone. The quality of the drinks is truly incredible.

Andy Chiang

This is a cool trendy bar in LIC, with a speakeasy style vibe. It’s quite small so it will get filled up quickly. The entrance is found within the graffiti - in case you get stuck looking for it. The drinks are well made, the lavender one was delicious, very lavender forward, but it works. The “Sorry Miss Jackson” drink is the flaming one and is worth the show. There’s only one washroom, so you’ll have to be prepared for that. They play some cool late 90s to early 2000s hip hop, which I definitely appreciate. Will definitely come back to try some of the other drinks on the list.

They have a new menu thats not online yet, cocktails all go up by ~$1 I had something with mezcal which was eh, but other people in my party ordered different things which they all liked Tiny, overpriced, but if you choose the right drink it’s worth visiting once

Cute spot for drinks before your night out

Probably the most expensive cocktails you’ll find in the entire borough but I don’t think they’re elite. You’re better off heading over to Dutch Kills for my money.

Great selection of drinks and cocktails. Amazing atmosphere. Horrible ventilation do not recommend for cold weather visits.

Cute little speakeasy in Queens Their entrance is on the corner around Extra Butter, don’t go down the stairs into the basement. The entrance door is right behind the stairs which looks like subway stairs but it’s right behind it on the wall I had a good espresso martini, I’ve had better but it’s nothing special And the infamous, the look is really cool but towards the bottom all you taste is melted water

I wish the bar was bigger and the cocktail prices were cheaper but given the size of the space and despite the price .. they make “GREAT” cocktails and they serve ‘em in nice glasses which I like!

I randomly popped in here after work & it was definitely fun. Great atmosphere & solid cocktails. The space is limited so this spot is better for small groups or a date.

Michael Moses

Cool bar in a trendy space, but not exactly a speakeasy (not hard to find since you can access from the open door to the street... Haven't seen the access through Extra Butter). Small environs, so you may or may not get a seat. If you do, cocktails are elite and several are tropical themed. Plan around $17 per drink. It's good and certainly a place to check off the list. But didn't really impress our small group enough to warrant a return visit.

The trendy interior decor was lovely, however the consensus of our group seemed to be that the drinks tasted watered down and on the sweeter side, nothing ordered was particularly well balanced as far as cocktails. Definitely left wanting. I feel like this bar is unsure if it wants to be a club or a speakeasy, but it needs to make a decisive choice. This place may be cute for a craft beer or a glass of wine, but for $17 a cocktail there are much better cocktail bars in LIC and the city.

The place was so so small, next to a clothing store. Is not really a speakeasy, more like a simple bar that you can see right away. Each cocktail was like $20 dls.. I’ll give 3 stars for the friendly staff and the cool decor.

Aaron Melocik

The atmosphere is odd - well-decorated, very small, & hip-hop/rap music & murals, but it doesn't seem to match the sleek interior. The drinks were decent, although the bartenders were kinda inattentive.

Jamie Oh

Cute space and all but felt a rude vibe from the bartenders. We came in on a weekday and we were the only ones at the bar. We were excited to check this place out because we had a great experience at extra butter! Coming in, we didn't really feel welcome but brushed it off. Towards the end of the night, the bartenders started to give us passive aggressive attitude, cleaning up and staring almost like they wanted us to leave. We thought we had stayed past the closing time so we checked and it was like 30-40 min before closing time. If your bar is closing/want us to start heading out, why not communicate that instead of making customers feel uncomfortable and weird lol. The entire time it just felt so off that I would definitely reconsider coming back.

Not planning on ever going back. Bartenders seemed to barely know basics which they could barely make because there were all of absolute minimum inventory, in a very Ikea-feeling space. Thinking maybe two dudes decided to open a bar and had very little to invest in vibes and stock. I suppose it's a fine space if you're looking to do some shots.

Loud, hot and pricey. Came with a small group, most of the other drinks were fine, "crush on me" was flavorless. The waiter took a while to come back to our table and I had to ask for the drink to be returned (he took it back without asking too many questions which I appreciate) and then again we had to ask for it to be taken off the bill. The bartender asked if I wanted a new one, but at that point the rest of the group had already finished all of their drinks and we just wanted to get out. Decent effort, but not worth 18-20$ per drink, especially compared to what other places in the area have to offer.

Michael Qin

Drinks were mediocre and did not taste good. Priced like a Manhattan cocktail bar but the quality is not there. Vibes were not it. They blasted Eminem on repeat, not really fitting for a cocktail bar. NOT the speakeasy feel that all the reviews talk about, it’s quite small but there’s no atmosphere and the clothing store is very visible through the back wall. The staff seem nice but I feel misled by the reviews!

I ordered three cocktails and a 20% tip was already included in the bill without telling it. Lots of ice not much to drink

My friends and I ordered two hummus plates among other things. The waiter came with two flatbreads probably defrost and a microscopic side pot of « hummus » (the one you usually get for the mustard). When we asked for the hummus, he told us that was everything left for day… we thought they would not charge us for the hummus, but they did. We complained, and they offer 20% on the hummus. Bottom line, pita breads were very expensive.
