General Info

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."Sweet Afton is proud to be one of the first bars in Astoria's new wave of craft cocktail and beer-focused destinations.
