Lounge 47: Astoria Neighborhood HH

Lounge 47 is a reliable neighborhood bar on Vernon Boulevard in the Astoria/LIC border zone — a warm, unpretentious spot that runs one of the longer happy hours in Queens from 4 to 8pm Monday through Friday. $8 cocktails, $6 beer, and $7 wine at prices that feel like a different era. The neighborhood crowd is loyal and the bar delivers exactly what it promises.
