Dominie's

I don't get over to Astoria very often so I wasn't sure what to expect when arriving at Dominie's for my friend's party. I couldn't have been more pleased!

We're in the middle of a heat wave and it was a pleasant surprise to find the A/C pumping at full blast. The interior of the space is nicely taken care of, and gives off a warm vibe.

The bartender was absolutely charming and it's pretty rare to come across such a good natured and friendly character behind a busy bar. He had some great quips, made some good conversation, and, more importantly, a stiff drink! After a few rounds I even got a buy back which always gets a gold star in my book.

Recommended!

Love this cool spot! It looks dive-y from the outside but feels like a welcoming UWS hang on the inside. Really friendly bartenders and patrons, great jukebox and happy hr prices.  Live jazz on weekend nights too. There is literally nothing not to like if you want a cool spot that gets busy but not packed.

Great little place! Love the decor,  you can sit at the bar or there are plenty of tables in the back for a group.

FYI: CASH ONLY, but worth it, nice strong drinks and yummy $5 pizza specials.

We went on a night where they had a live jazz band (no lyrics which was nice, you could still talk over the music, etc.)

I live right around the corner so I think this place is going to become a staple!
