With an exterior resembling the Parthenon and an interior
resembling an antique subway, The Astor Room
(35-11 35th Ave) is sure to provide the perfect ambience
for a memorable night out. The musical performances
add the perfect touch to the spacious place — not to
mention the creative selection of cocktails served at the
bar. And the party isn’t just limited to the weekends; you
can enjoy live music every day of the week. From jazz to
folk to swanky alternative rock, you’re guaranteed to feel
like you’re part of the culture.
EXPLORE YOUR BORO
If you think you have to travel to Manhattan or Brooklyn to catch some live tunes, you’re wrong.
Queens has plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants that showcase everything from jazz bands to local
bluegrass music to Moldovan folk songs.
Here, we’re featuring just a couple of spots in Astoria, Long Island City and Sunnyside where you can
listen to live music while you eat, drink and catch up with friends. Don’t be afraid to explore outside
of this list, too; there are tons of places where you can find chill music to accompany your brunch or a
local band to introduce you to unique songs.

If you’re a fan of the cozy brick and wood scene, this is
the place for you. The Bonnie (29-12 23rd Ave.) features
music that will transport you back to the music fests you
attended over the summer. There’s live music on Thursdays
starting at 8 p.m. Next up is All Types of Kinds, described
as “local grown infections indie rock with a hint
of hip-hop,” on Oct. 12, and Ol’ Time Glory, described
as “classic booze-swillin’ country and rockabilly,” on Oct.
19. Enjoy their pretty (and tasty) cocktails with food that
is served until 1 a.m.
