Im a regular at Tropix, staff is super friendly. There is specials like every day, drinks are strong, food is good. Its very spanish so there is a lot of latin DJ, but they usually throw in a good mix. It can get crowded during the week for the specials. I see a lot of familiar faces a lot of time so its a favorite spot of a lot of people. Fun lace you will enjoy, so go!!!
Review Source:Chicken wings are my kryptonite. Â I'm even a regular to the National Buffalo Wings Festival for the past few years so imagine my surprise that one of the best wings I've eaten comes from a neighborhood bar just down the street from me. Â Tropix is loud. Â Tropix is dark. Â They have a few flat screens and a projector with either sports or girls dancing on all the time. Â And there is a bathroom but there's no lock. Â
If this doesn't deter you by now then you're about to embark on a delicious journey. Â They serve over 20 flavors of wings here. Â And they don't cheat by claiming 5 varying degrees of heat constitutes 5 different flavors. Â Here they have traditional flavors like hot, bbq and honey mustard. Â But then they also throw in Jack Daniel's, blackened and apricot glazed. Â For the even more exotic try habanero banana, chili lime, salt and vinegar or asian ginger. Â If your mouth isn't starting to water by now maybe wings just aren't your thing. Â Did I mention the wings are BIG too?!! Â They're not like the tiny Korean fried chicken wings or Croxley Ale's midget specials.
The service is quick and the waitresses are super friendly. Â Come on a Monday after work to score these wings for 25c a piece and get their BOGO happy hour drink specials. Â If tacos are more your speed, come Thurs when they're 50c a shell.
i went here with my cousins and some friends for their 25 cent Wing Monday's and I was a little disappointed. Â But I guess you get what you pay for, right?
The bartenders/waitstaff are lazy, impatient, and forgetful. Â But the guy at the door was friendly and attentive.
The drinks could have been better. Â I think having a 2 drink minimum per person is a little much, but I guess that's the trade off for the wing price. Â
The wings are clearly fried prior to you placing your order, and just tossed in whatever flavor you order. Â The wings are extremely overcooked and are far from fresh. Â But they are 25 cents. Â
The music was horrible, and I'm into all kinds of music, but you can't play the same song all night at think nobody is going to notice.
And the icing on the cake, the women's bathroom has 2 toilets in it, not 2 stalls. Â Not sure if they expect 2 women to go in there at the same time, but its not happening. Â Not exactly the place where I want to meet people and chat.
The fact that I was in good company made up for most of the shortcomings of the night, but I doubt I will ever go back, unless its a Monday and Im in the area and I have no other options.
A friend of mine and myself went on a Monday for 25 cents wings and two for one drinks. thats a good deal. We enjoyed it. I had two coronas. I played it safe just in case I didn"t like the drinks. My friend ordered rum and coke .He was not too happy with taste. The wings were tasty like always and the fries are good also. The place played good music and it was packed. The poor waitress looked overwhelmed. Overall good time..I was would recommend Monday nights.
Review Source:I absolutely LOOOVEEE IT HERE!! Came here this past monday on presidents day with a couple of friends strictly for the wings since monday is wing night duh!..so we ordered 20 of the garlic parm wings, 10 of the lemon pepper wings and 10 of the general tos and ommggggg i want more now!! we also had it with the fries sampler (Cheese fries, regualr fries and sweet potato fries) which was just ok the cheese fries got cold too quickly but ok it was still so good! we also had it with two buckets of stella! Great time with great friends and great food is always a fun time for me!
Review Source:So I just moved to the area this past weekend and my girlfriend and I wanted to try out some of the local bars. We started off at the local Applebees (which was a very good deal for a Saturday night $30 for a few drinks each).We eventually wound up here. First off, I was shocked that there was a cover to get it. I don't ever recall paying a cover charge to get into any bar/lounge in Queens. EVER! I was also told I couldn't wear sneakers and had to change. I actually didn't have a problem with that as I understand they need to maintain some level of decorum and since I live just a couples of minutes walking distance, I went home and changed and left my date at the bar to grab a drink while I changed. They were even nice enough to not charge me the cover. However, after an hour or two, they decided we had drank too much and simply refused to serve us. This was after two drinks each and half an hour of dancing. How they determine who gets cut off is bizarre and no explanation was even offered. I have never in my entire life ever been cut off from being served. I am inclined to think that this was due to one of their "regulars" (who was super creepy) getting upset that I didn't give him my seat when he came in. He just sat there in the corner staring at me and bitching to the bouncer and one of the waitresses about it. Right after that we were cut off. Anyway, I understand that every bar has regulars but being new to the neighborhood and looking for a regular spot for us to grab a drink and maybe a bite to eat I don't believe this is the place for us. Then we had a friend come to join us for a drink and the bouncer decided to quadruple the cover charge to $20 (simple outrageous for ANY bar in Queens). On the plus side, I must say the music was good and we actually were having a good time until the bartender just cut us off and their "regular" started acting weird. I know understand why this place has such a bad reputation with fights and just bad behavior in general. This guy was trying to get me to fight him. It was all so childish and beneath me. So we just laughed at him and went on our way to another bar and enjoyed the rest of our night in our new neighborhood. Needless to say, the Saturday night crowd at Tropix is just not my thing.
Review Source:I'm a big wing fan, I've been coming to this place for couples of years and I'm finally writing a review. The wings are off the hook. The wings have awesome flavors and a nice size. Â They must not get their wings from the anorexic chicken wholesaler. I love the garlic parmesan, dry rub adobo and the jack daniels. Its a spot to catch monday night games and chomp on some wings and some drinks. The bartendars/waitresses are beautiful latinas and others, so if your a guy, you will enjoy.
So come check it on monday nights and have some chicken wings on steroids!
Mondays. $0.25 wings. 16+ flavors. 10 genetically-modified jumbo wings per order. 2 drink minimum. Oh, and all the ratchet shit you grinded to at your junior high dances? They're playing it.
Best: Cajun Ranch, island Heat, Spicy Adobo, Garlic Parm, Chipotle Rub, and one of the newer ones. I want to say Salsa Verde. Also awesome? The doorman. I got banned 2 Halloweens ago because I forgot my ID and look like a 12yo. I tried to use a friend's ID and when he wasn't having it, I tried to convince him it was only because duh, of course I don't look like that, I'm dressed as a mouse. But a month later I went back (no shame and hello, stupid good wings, I'M FOCUSED) and I went right in. As I was coming out, he told me he recognized me and didn't I see how he didn't give me any trouble? Very appreciative because THESE WINGS.
Worst: The service. I've only ever had 2 nice waitresses here. I think there's an unspoken rule that if you're displaying 5 inches of cleavage or more, you're auto-exempt from smiling. They're also sometimes Nazis about how many glasses of beer are in a pitcher to force you into buying more to fulfill your drink minimum. One waitress went so far as to pour everyone's beer til they overflowed to prove her point. RUDE. Oh and don't get the buffalo flavor in any degree of spice. Super wack.
Awkward: Men's bathroom, no stalls, no locks, 2 bowls. Dominican boys, please explain.
Did not have a good time at this place. A friend of mine has gone here a bunch of times and invited me to tag along, wish i'd said no. After paying a cover charger to get in (why, this isn't manhattan), it was too loud and the service was so-so. I'm fairly positive my white russian drink was not mixed properly, but the staff didn't seem to care when i asked about it. Whatever, live and learn right? I'll stick to Connolys or Cobblestones when I want to hangout with friends.
Review Source:If you need a Bogo happy hour here you go. The food here is okay. Lots of wing choices and if you want to get the biggest bang for your buck go with more wings of fewer sauce choices.
If there is dancing from a party going on here then the music can be a bit overbearing.
Interesting nights can be found here, dancing, although ladies beware, there creepy regulars sitting up at the bar.
I come here a lot with friends. I love the wings here. The staff is super friendly! This place never fails, there needs to be more bars like this in Queens! I always have a good time any night I come here, whether for 25 wings Monday nights, 2 for 1 drink Tuesdays, Mojito and Sangria Pitchers for $9 bucks on Thursdays, or just a night out on weekends!
Review Source:$17.50 for two shots of Jameson. I asked how much Jack was and was told the same price. I asked for house whiskey and was told it would still be $16.50. $8.25 for a shot of HOUSE whiskey is ridiculous anywhere, in Rego Park it's freakin hilarious. Apparently they have good wings but I won't be trying them.
Review Source:HOW DOES IT TAKE OVER AN HOUR FOR THREE ORDERS OF WINGS???
We came here last night with a group of 4 and our waitress (blond, attitude, forgetful) took our orders, before leaving us to stew in the dark. My friends ordered a bucket which they received in 20 minutes. My bf's coke took 15 minutes (and his 2nd drink, a sprite took another 25!!!), whereas my corona took way too long. Every time the waitress came back, she tried to get us to order more food and drinks, only for us to turn her away as we had yet to receive the other half of our FIRST order. We tried to be jokey and sweet about it, but even the other wait staff were getting fed up as they kept giving us sympathetic looks whenever they passed our table.
When we finally got the orders, the wings were hot, albeit a bit too crispy, as if they had been cooked too long. Flavor breakdowns- Garlic Parm is always good, as is the new Spicy Green (reminded us of the green sauce at pio pio), Hot was surprisingly sweet, Honey hot added a sweet kick, and Thai Chili was a good burn. I'm sure we'd have more flavors to review and comment on if it didn't take so long for our orders to come.
Never, in all my times coming here, has it been that bad. It was surprisingly empty last night, and with service like that, I can definitely see why.
To add salt to the wound, the bill comes with tip already added. We could finally see why the waitress didn't give a hoot about providing great (or bearable) service.
I'm a fan of this place like I'm a fan of anything that reminds me of my hood in the Bronx. I'm not sure what Tropix is trying to be. Monday night - some of the wing flavors (blackened, garlic parm) are really tasty, others, like spicy adobo, were odd. The crowd is such an eclectic mix, and I can only conclude that the music selection is reflecting that. It's a good time, I'll probably return, though not often.
Review Source:After hearing about Tropix for so long and seeing the crowds (in Rego Park?!?!) outside, I finally decided to check it out. I came on Monday 25cent wings night. I should've known it was too good to be true, as there was a 2 drink minimum per person. It was also Happy Hour, so I got a free drink token. Turns out I can't use the drink token towards my 2 drink limit though. Figures.
Overall, the wings were hot, tasty, and medium-sized. There was no sauce along with it so that kind of stinked. The fries were surprisingly good and I used that sauce for the wings as well. Good atmosphere, with some hip hop that shifted to Latin music abruptly at times. Tropix made back their wing money with the drinks and 18% automatic gratuity even for a table of 2. Decent place, great for Rego Park.
I came on a Saturday night, not sure if it's any different from the other nights. For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone, especially a guy, would pay $10 cover charge to get into Tropix. I went there on a Saturday night and the place was empty. There were very few females there except for the waitresses so I don't know why any guy would pay the cover charge for a sausage fest. I had the chocolate martini and it was strong. The staff were pretty nice and checked up on us a few times. They even provided salsa and tortilla chips for us to snack on and gave us refills. I think it was salsa Saturday but no one was dancing. They do have a big screen with girls prancing around in bikinis, I think it was the Miss Tropix 2011 contest?
Review Source:Their wings are AMAZING, I'm talking like best in the area. Everything comes out fresh and there are so many wing flavors. I'm not sure but there are specific specials each night and I think wings specials are on Monday nights. The french fries are amazing too, they come out nice and hot and with some special mayo dip. Their homemade salsa is great too. I haven't had anything on the menu other than wings and french fries but I'm sure everything is just as yummy.
Review Source:I'm glad to see one other 1-star review, but I'm overwhelmed by the number of spectacular ratings for Tropix. Maybe I came on an off day or something, but I doubt it, as so many things went wrong that Monday night. Anyway, this was my experience.
I arrived at 7pm and took a seat at the bar to wait for my girlfriends to arrive for dinner. During the half hour I sat there, not once did the bartenders tend to me. It didn't seem overly busy, but I wasn't awarded any attention. It wasn't until my friends arrived that the bartender finally came over and asked if we wanted anything. "Yes, we'd like a table please." And so we were seated in a dark corner in the back.
Holy crap, it was cold! They had the AC on full blast AND they had the ceiling fans on high. I kept my jacket on and still froze. Even the candle, the only light we had at the table to let the service know we were still here, blew out after a minute under the wind. In any case, my friends and I decided on an order of sweet potato fries and orders of honey hot wings, cajun ranch wings, and spicy bbq wings. (Supposedly wings on Monday nights are 25 cents each, with a minimum of 10 wings per order.) We waited...and waited...and waited...for 30 whole minutes of sitting in the dark without any service! We finally flagged down a passing male server, who immediately informed our waitress, who then came over to apologize for not coming over sooner because the place is understaffed. *rolls eyes*
After ordering, our waitress brought over our Bud Light Limes first. We almost completely went through our first bottle (20-30 minutes?) before the wings came out. Wonderful...they feel lukewarm. Apparently, the last time my friend was here, the wings came out cold. Lukewarm is better than cold. We waited another 5 minutes for our fries. Hmmm...they're not here. We flagged our waitress again to inform her our fries were missing. She apologized and re-entered the order. Great. We also asked for blue cheese dressing. The same male server from earlier came by and handed us one teeny weeny cup of it. "Umm...can we get more please? We do have two other people in our party." He ended up bringing us four more. How generous! (That was sarcastic, and you will soon find out why.)
The waitress then brought a refill of the Bud Light Limes. She walked away, and that's when we saw that one of the bottles she just placed on the table was only half full. What the fizzle?? We immediately hailed her again and asked her if she brought us someone else's bottle. She looked just as confused as we were, saying that it was a brand new bottle (she uncapped it herself) and how weird that it's only half full. She was at least nice enough to bring us a new full bottle without charging us extra.
Finally, we dug into our food. Ugh...why does my spicy bbq taste like bananas and why is it not spicy at all?? I didn't bring it up to the service because who knows how long I'd have to wait for another batch. My friends' wings were just okay. I'd say the cajun ranch ones tasted the best out of all three. The fries were the highlight, and I loved the special dipping sauce that came with the fries. I must point out, though, that the dipping sauce for the fries came in an actual dipping sauce container! Couldn't they have used that for the blue cheese? It's not like our wings can fit in a medicine cup; we actually have to pour our blue cheese onto our wings! To top it all off, my friend wasn't even done with her food when the server came to clean the table and took away the remaining blue cheese (there was still one cup unused) and my friend's one remaining wing, both of which my friend still wanted but gave up when the server didn't even ask her if he could clear the table.
The bill arrived, and here's why I was sarcastic earlier. The server's generosity in the blue cheese dressing resulted in one extra dollar on our bill! Seriously, 50 cents each for that pathetic blob of a dressing?? He didn't even have the decency to tell us that each "extra" teeny weeny cup cost 50 cents. Wow...just...wow. We paid our bill ($18 each, and tip was automatically included...I can think of so many places in the city where I could get better quality wiings, beer and service for the same price!) and left in complete disgust. I am not coming back here again!
What in the world would get me to travel all the way to Queens (when I live in BK) on a weeknight after work? How is it possible I was able to haul out 20+ friends to join me?? WINGS!!!!
Besides wings, there's not much else I can say about Tropix as I haven't tried anything off the regular menu. Â I'm making my 9th group trip out to Tropix tonight. They have 25 cent wings in 22 flavors and beer buckets to boot (Monday's only). I personally love the garlic parm, Jack Daniels, and teriyaki.. but they're all good! Servers are nice too, especially Kimberly. I even celebrated my birthday here.
Some friends are still complaining about being invited all the way out to Queens. I'm certain they only need to try this place once before they're convinced to take that trek again and again. Let's go, let's go!!!
Just your average neighborhood bar. Nothing really special here if you happen to stumble in, although, their food is quite tasty. The bar is located towards the front with side seating for dinner, and if you want to get your dance on, then head towards the back. There are a few flat screens for game-watching while drinking or dancing.
The Dance Floor- I think my room is bigger than the dance floor. If, not, it has to be equivalent or slightly less. If it gets crowded (very seldom), it can be a sweatbox.
DJ- Make sure you call ahead of time to see what type of music the DJ is playing because some ppl may want to just two-step all night, but when they get there the DJ may be playing salsa.
Signature Drink- I'm going to have to go with their Long Islands. One of the strongest I have ever tasted. In fact, I had to split one of my drinks with a friend. Â After 1.5 Long Islands (large glass), I obviously couldn't make it back to Brooklyn that night.
The Bathroom- The line is ridiculously long, providing the fact that they have one stall for each gender located right next to the dance floor. So watch out if you get wacked by a female if the DJ happens to put on "Do the Brown." That can leave a nasty bruise.
Security- They make sure your face matches your ID. They actually double check, so make sure it is you and not your BFF.
Privacy- This lounge does offer additional seating on the top floor overlooking the lounge for large parties and a smaller sectional downstairs towards the back. Pretty cool.
All in all, I would go back once a year, just to get a buzz. Maybe even twice, if my friends drag me there, but it's nothing spectacular.
Boyfriend likes to feed my addictions of shopping and especially food, so he brought me here yesterday for some finger lickin' chicken wings. Mondays are known for its' 25 cent wings with an assortment of flavors to choose from.
Our go-to flavor is the garlic parmesan! Can't go wrong with it, ever.
If you really like sour stuff, go for the lemon pepper! Heh, my boyfriend kept wincing as he ate it as it was too much for him. (Weak sauce.) It's doused in lemon juice. My spidey senses are tingling at the thought of them. Yummy. Peach bourbon (?) wasn't that good so pass on that.
Bear in mind that there is a 2 drink min per person. Our ice-filled beer-pong time cups of sodas came out to $16!!! Insane.
Yes.. 1 star..for real  against 32 other reviewers. Let me explain what just happened.
I've just now returned from this ridiculous place & wat is the first ting I do - I have to write a Review because I'm so bloody pissed off at the management.
I live close by & this was my second visit today. I had this <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> coupon. We ordered & the server came back with aa check (without even us asking about the check) and said that her shift was getting over & here's the check....Really!
Not to come back Reason #1: I've never seen a server so desperate for the tip for her tables.
We announced that we wanna use the coupon & still have to order Entrees. And, I wanting her to get the tip, suggest that she takes the whole order & then get the check so that she can get the tip on the whole order.
In the meant time, the Manager comes & announces that we can't use the coupon as it is only limited to Dine IN orders only & doesn't include the drinks & Entree specials.
Did I mention already that this was our second time here with the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> coupon?
I tell the manager that if this is the case, then why did you accept the same coupon a few months ago for the whole order. To which the guy says it probably was the girl's mistake who punched it in. Â Nice!
I'm like..u know wat - there's no point arguing. It's all kool! And I paid the whole tab with 18% tip as our server was rushing out.
I COULD STILL LIVE WITH ALL THAT HAS JUST HAPPENED. What happened afterwards, is totally unacceptable.
We finished eating what we ordered and there's more than half my Chicken Fajita entree (Tex-Mex Wednesdays special - not that I was aware of until I walked in). I ask my NEW server that I'd like to take a box and she comes back after about 2 minutes to tell me that I can't.
She goes - "The Rule is you can't take a box for your leftovers if you ordered from Entree specials"
I'm like - are you even serious? You're not kidding with me..are you?
She goes" No sir, I apologize. But, these are the RULES!"
RULES...r u fucking  kidding me. I just paid for all that & now, I can't box it up. Is this freaking Primary School or what?
That pretty much made my night & my Date was pissed as well...more on me for choosing a place like this than anything else.
We were just hanging out casually tonight after work & since I had a good experience the first time, I thought it's a good place.
Not to come back Reason #2: They Suck!
But, There're 2 people in Queens who are never coming back at this place. My Word!
Let me first start off by saying I automatically deducted a star for the cover charge (guys $10). I'm sorry but this is just how I feel.
Tropix defintely is 4 star hot spot, but they just do not provide enough for the need of a cover charge. Ok now that that is out of the way.
We came here after an attempt to hit up Bartini in forest hills, Â despite its horrible reviews we wanted to try it out based on a friends good word, needless to say we quickly made our way to Tropix!
When we arrived it almost seemed as if we entered a private party. Â
I was pretty surprised at how nice the spot was inside because I assumed it would be this little hole in the wall on Queens blvd.
Everybody had these Mardi Gras beads on (even though it was October) and seemed to all know one another. Â The music was consistent -- Spanish. Â The dj played a mix of merenge, salsa, and reggaeron, Â but mostly he played dembo (which is great).
The one drink I had I can't remember the name of but it was the 1st one on the menu, and it was a twist on Miami's drink  "call-a-cab" (Wet Willies).  The bartender made it STRONG; it was a well mixed drink!  A cocktail waitress also walked around with $5 jello shots. I had cherry and blueberry. We also revcieved a mardigras necklace for each jello shot, and I got a bacardi necklace because my drink had 151 in it.
I went on a Friday night so obviously can't speak about the other days of the week.  There's a nice area in the back to dance and I believe the upstairs is  used for private parties.  They also have HUGE TVs, but its kind of dissapointing because the whole night they played footage of these girls in thongs and shit, who were  been dancing on Tropix's bar and I guess competing for some prize.  Play a sports game, or music videos.  That's annoying to see a bunch of Queens girls bending over and shaking their asses, I felt like I was watching tip drill.  Overall I had a good time though and ill defintely be back for more fun!
*Sidenote: I like to mention the name of things that I eat/drink as they are seen on the menu, this way my fellow yelpers can try them out. I took the time to go online and look at Tropix's drink menu, and it was completely different then the one they offered at the actual lounge. Â It's got to be updated on the website!
A nice, chill place with good wings and of course, the Monday night wings deal. A good spot for a casual gathering of friends, I wouldn't have a birthday party there but hell, a game night or something, for sure. There are truly 23 flavors of wings, but let's be honest, not all of those are gonna be good. Here's a brief rundown of the flavors I've had:
Jack Daniels - bland but good; Teriyaki - maybe my favorite; Alfredo - just okay, but others liked it; Super Hot - mistake (the heat junkies didn't even like it); Asian Sesame - bad; Mango - disgusting; BBQ - all right; I think that covers it. There was one I wasn't sure of, maybe Blackened, that was also pretty good. Obviously, there are a lot more flavors to try, but as a rule, I would avoid any fruity flavors. Come on, they're wings...
Looking for good, cheap wings in Queens? Let me introduce you to Tropix. If you're willing to venture out on a Monday night, fight for parking (it's not far from the subway, though), and put up with a noisy, crowded bar environment, you'll be treated to some very tasty wings at an excellent price.
Tropix Bar & Lounge runs Monday Buffalo Wing Night, where you can get all the wings you need to fill your belly and soul at 25¢ each. The rules are that there's a two-drink minimum and each order must be at least ten wings. The menu currently boasts twenty-four different flavors, including the spectrum of Buffalo sauces. A friend recommended I try the other flavors (she found the Buffalo sauce too sweet), so we placed an order for Ginger Scallion and for Chipotle Rub.
The wings come out piping hot and very, very fresh. Unlike some bars that prepare inordinate numbers of wings in advance to meet the demands of their wing nights, Tropix's wings are cooked to-order. We were pleased with the size of the wings, a respectable medium-size, cooked properly, with a crunchy outside and a juicy inside.
The Ginger Scallion wings were coated in a sweet, sticky glaze that you'll be licking your fingers from. In addition to being sweet, they also had strong savory notes of soy sauce, however the ginger undertone was subtle, and the scallion was very subtle. This wasn't really a detraction from the flavor, as they were still quite delicious, and I would easily choose them again. The flavor is a little reminiscent to some of the Korean fried wings I've had.
In stark contrast to sweet and sticky, the Chipotle Rub wings were covered with, as the name implies, a dry rub. Normally I would complain when Buffalo wings are served too dry, but a dry rub is an exception. Not too spicy, chipotle imparts a strong smokey flavor that lingers. The juicy meat inside mixes with the dry rub nicely. It's a bit of a salty rub, so make sure your drink is relatively full. I found that going back and forth between the two sauces was an excellent balance of the sweet to the salty.
I look forward to coming back and trying more of their sauces. For your Monday night wing crave, I highly recommend this place, especially if you like to try a variety of sauces.
I do enjoy a good happy hour joint.
This place gets surprisingly busy on weeknights. I don't own a fancy-pants-does-everything phone, but if i did, you'd see quite a few 'check ins'.
Definitely a perfect Plan B.
Food is fine-- nothing divine here, but they do a solid to quite yummy job at what they serve up.
Happy hour deals are on key. Every night is a different deal. I believe Mondays are cheapo delicious chicken wings, Tuesday night is... happy hour all night long (buy one get one), and the rest of the days i forgot. I just wish theyd have more selection on tap.
if you stick around late enough, that means youve probably had quite a bit to drink (at least I know i did) and youre probably in the mood to dance (i, for one, am always in the mood to dance, but will wait till slightly inebriated before i bust the moves out). Well! youre in luck! (at least I know I am!) theres a small dance floor that does fill up at roughly 12ish 1ish. Its usually salsa merengue dance and the music gets loud!
2 large, clean and brightly lit bathrooms: one for men, one for women. And trust me, after all that drinkin', you'll need em'
From the people i've been chattin' it up with and lookin' around, the crowd is generally Dominican/Puerto Rican 20s-30s crowd, good looking (of course, you're gorgeous!) with solid day jobs.
Not quite a pick up scene, so go elsewhere if you're a' lookin' or bring your friends.
My Favorite local spot , I have been here more times than I can Count !!
Not too many places like this in queens, This place is cool to just chill have a few drinks, eat & dance all in the same place.
No matter what day of the week you go you can find a good deal, Mondays are popular due to the 25 cent wings ...yummy !!
So many flavors 25 to choose from some of my favs in this order , Garlic Parmasen, Lemon Pepper , Ginger Scallion, Tropix Spicy Green, Jack Daniels , Thai Chili , Genreal Tso's , Honey Mustard.
The Chipotle rub I wasn't too crazy about but no biggie plenty to choose from & I am sure I will try other's.
As for the rest of the food , I can't seem to shy away from the Empanadas usually get a combo of Chicken & Cheese, Â Chicken are better , the cheese ones are good as well.
Calamari is great, Fries are good & so are the Quesadillas.
The Chicken tacos are delicous, usually comes w rice & beans I substitude all that w Salad, the Enchillas are really good specially the Chicken ones.
Wraps, the Avocabo Chicken wrap is good & to my surprised the Tropix Chimmi's are delicious , either choice served with fries.
They do have quite a few choices on the menu but for me these are a few of my favorites & they all go well SPECIALLY after having more than a few drinks , which doesnt ever not seem to be the case here, lol.
As for tthe rest of the week any day you can find a deal. 2 for 1 Tuesdays, Mexican night on Wednesday w great specials on food & Margarita Pitchers. Fridays is ladies night & as well as After work w 2 for 1 Happy hour specials , good drink specials & bucket deals.
Nice location, good service ,decent prices & a friendly staff , what more can u really ask for.
The first line in my review describes this place best , my favorite local spot hands down I don't really get tired of it & will always keep coming back.
This place is tricky...some nights are pretty good and some nights are ghetto fab...I'm never sure what I'm stepping coming here.
It seems like they've tried to clean it up by going with more Latin but they still have some of the old crowd.
What I really don't like is the cover they charge on weekends...like seriously guys your a bar...not a club or a lounge for that matter, why the cover charge? It's not even cheap, it's like $10-$15...not cool for a local hang out which is what Tropix really is.
It needs some updating but again this place is really more of a local hangout bar than a lounge.
If it were more consistent with it's crowd it would get an easy 3 or 4...
Went on a Monday night for $0.25 wings. Â Pretty decent wings except there's a no doggy bag policy so make sure you don't over-order otherwise those wings are flying into the garbage. Â They come in orders of 10 and there's about 20 different sauces. Â I tried the Blackened, BBQ hickory and Chipotle. Â All were very good. Â
It was quite loud and there are tons of tv's playing different sports games so it's not an intimate setting but a great place to hang out w/ friends.
Hit or miss is right! Â Let's stick with the party nights. Â that's where you get your atmosphere from. Â The rest of the week is just that....weak.
Thursday-Saturday
$10 cover. I don't like it but you should be able to afford a $10 cover no matter where you go. Â Go high octane on the drinks. It just makes sense ($6 beer...$6 cocktail, you'll get there quicker). Â The DJ favors the spanish flavor so expect a healthy amount of Reggeaton, Salsa, merengue and Bachata. Â But you will get hip hop, pop, dance and anything that gets the crowd movin. Â I've found the ladies here to be very approachable on the dance floor and the dudes usually keep their gentleman game in full swing. Service seems to be good. I've never had any compaints.
If you don't want to go into the city and want to get your dance on with some locals with a heavy handed Long Island Iced tea, check out Tropix on a Thursday.
I'm prejudiced because there's not many spots that are walking distance for .50 cent tacos and Latinas. You can either have one or the other unless you date one to produce the other.
Anyway They do have some good specials here and the Thursdays are usually a nice mixed crowd. DJ spins plenty of salsa etc. and it gets people dancing for sure. I hear there' s a cover on the weekend..
Service is good too..
