Sweet Afton

We had an amazing time! We live in the area and we come here as often as we can! Giselle was really helpful in getting our reservation ready for my girlfriend’s birthday and even remembered me when we came in and made sure we had the booth we reserved! :) And our server, Natalie was the absolute best and helped elevate our already amazing experience! And compliments to the chef on the amazing food! Those Thanksgiving egg rolls were out of this world! Thank you so much, Sweet Afton for making my girlfriend’s birthday a night to remember!🙏🏼

I went on a solo Valentine's Day date around 6pm at the Sweet Afton and had a great time. The bar was well-lit and the music wasn't too loud where I couldn't hear myself think, which is usually the case when I'm there later in the night. The service was good and the waitress checked in on me a few times in the hour and a half that I was there.

Wanting to try something new, I ordered the Bloody Mary chips alongside my dirty pickle martini. I didn't think this through and ended up with too many "pickle like" flavors and regretted my order. The chips were fine, but I would recommend the popcorn chicken. Someone next to me ordered the Mac and cheese and was raving about it.

The martini was well made; the flavors strong but not overpowering. I could barely taste the alcohol in it. For my second drink I asked for something sweet and was given their version of a French 75. This drink was very good and I loved the fizz in it. It was sweet but not overpowering. I'm not sure it's on their menu, so I would ask for it at the bar.

By now you've probably realized I'm 2 drinks in and have only had chips to eat. Unfortunately, I did not make better choices the rest of the night, but I am not hungover today so the Universe must have taken pity on my singleness.

In conclusion: Go earlier. Get the chicken or the Mac and cheese. Get a few drinks. Bring a responsible friend.

Nice bar with a cozy vibe, and friendly staff :) drinks are good too! just add a dessert (or two) to the menu if possible. we’ll be back, we had a great time. Hot mulled cider is a must try, flavorful and balanced!

Friendly service, strong and delicious drinks. Highly recommend the Cauliflower Tacos - the taste is amazing. It can get crowded, but the place is big, so finding a spot has been usually easy.

One of my favorite bars in the area!

Stopped in for dinner: Bloody Mary hand cut chips and fried chicken sandwich on Pullman toast with a Dublin Old Fashion to drink.

Cocktail wasn’t my favorite (bad choice on my part, I’ve had other great cocktails from here before) but the sandwich was incredible! Service was nice and timely. Recommended.

Always great service when I go here! Decent brunch menu. I get the green eggs & ham when I go. Eggs are supper fluffy. I wish they had brunch specials just to have a few different options but not a big deal. Very cozy environment as well.

Sweet Afton is one of my favorite bar and restaurants here in Astoria. The Philly Steak Patty Melt is a must have. The staff here has always been awesome. & now they have expanded their bar with the opening of Sidekick, where you can continue to the cocktails next door.
