Hell Gate Social (CLOSED)

Take care not to miss this sleek Astoria bar, marked only by a discreet red light. Once inside, you’ll find creative drinks, such as the Chocolate Egg Cream (vanilla-infused Jim Beam, chocolate syrup, cream and club soda), and the rosemary-infused blueberry-vodka martini, priced to move at just $6. A spacious backyard packed with benches is the place to be on Sunday nights, when B movies and indie flicks are projected on a ten-foot hanging screen.
