Tony Xerri: I think the painting in the bathroom alone is worth the trip here. 2 hours later when you're done laughing, snag a brew and a grilled cheese sandwich because this is America and you earned it.
Joanna Flamm: Grilled cheese with taleggio, prosciutto, arugula, and figs was A+.
hitgirl: Brunch is served! As usual, great beer selection & the brunch menu was delish! Loved the truffle conundrum (+bacon 😝) grilled cheese sammich & kale+sprouts salad. Organic coffee was good too

Scott M: Solid spot. Great staff, beer of the month, fried pickles, grilled cheese... The mac n cheese is a pretty big deal, my sugg is to split it w someone, its a lot of cheese (but yes its good)
Selena Frederick: Everyone talks a big game about the mac and cheese, but don't forget to try the ribs. Also, their brunch Grilled Cheese with gruyere is amazing. Agree with the red lemonade, though. Mmmm.
Ana Pav: Had the BLT sandwich YUM. Wanted the grilled cheese sandwich but only served evenings. Also the hot apple cider was glorious.

mike garrett: Add egg to the avenue sandwich for one of the best grilled cheese sangy ever!!!!!
Stephanie P.: This place has fun themed happy hours everyday and has a super cute jazz club aesthetic. Tasty appetizers, good bartenders and chicken/waffle & deep fried grilled cheese brunches are highlights!
Fausto R Jimenez: Good low key vibes. Very chill and the service is great. One of my favorite spots near Steinway.
Natalie LeMoss: The flight of beer is very fun, loaded Brussels sprouts and a variety of grilled cheese options
The Sandwich Enthusiast 🍔: Great beer, knowledgable staff, and a kickass BLT. I always come here to fill up growlers for parties.
Gary "Garbear" Colangelo: The hip hop music doesn't go with the atmosphere. They need to put on more relaxing music
Molly Prunka: The bartender Chelsea and the grilled cheese sandwich here are both tied for the best things in my life.
Tony: I've been coming here for a few years now and they have the best beer selection I've seen in a long time. The eggs benedict is tasty and the prices are a steal. Jeff is an awesome bartender!
Brew York: An Astoria favorite for craft beer, Sunswick has an incredibly helpful staff and an encyclopedic food menu. Not sure which of their 35 rotating beers to order? Just ask!

jamie mccullagh: Perfect for a special night out or low key oyster happy hour. Beautiful cocktails.
@AstoriaHaiku: The people that complain about pricing are precisely the people I'm trying to avoid when I go out once or twice a month. Atmosphere is wonderful, food was delicious, staff was attentive & friendly, A+
John Elezovic: Amazing oysters, wine and cocktails. Don't like any of those? Get away from me.
