3009 34th St
Astoria, NY 11103
Sweet Afton is proud to be one of the first bars in Astoria's new wave of craft cocktail and beer-focused destinations. Since opening in 2009, it has become a true neighborhood haven serving local brews and cask ales. Chef Nick Testa, a recent winner of Food Network's Chopped, prepares eclectic comfort food, Astoria’s best burger and the neighborhood's best brunch. Its lush outdoor backyard transforms into a luxurious enclosed dining room in the winter, making it a sought-after spot year round. Time Out calls Sweet Afton a "homey Queens gastropub...with the dim, dark-wood coziness of an Irish pub" and a "smartly curated array of reasonably priced suds." New York Magazine praises the bar as "shockingly friendly" and "charmingly well thought-out," with a "real, authentic neighborhood vibe" and an "honest emphasis on all things handmade and local."

Such a nice pub in the heart of Astoria! Felt transported to Ireland/UK inside - just look at that perfect Guinness. Friendly service and reasonable prices too! Came for the Thanksgiving Eggrolls...

The third time is the charm. My previous two visits were mixed. The first time, before COVID, my burger was tasteless. The second time, we had to deal with stupid bouncers or security guards...

Stopped by on a Friday evening for drinks with a few friends. For not being familiar with this area, Yelp pointed to this bar as it has a substantial amount of reviews and overall good averaging...

Solid brunch spot with delicious food and a nice outdoor patio. Everything we ordered was great, especially the fried chicken & biscuit! They have a great bottomless option ($25 for 1.5 hours)...
