43 Bar & Grill

So there’s this bartender I’m pretty sure he’s from Ireland but he sucks monkey balls he doesn’t check up on you or anything I’m pretty sure he’s a racist fuck he sucks he never pays attention to my party of 4 cause we are Hispanic but when his boys come by he pays attention to them and ignores us in my mind he should get fired but that’s just me but w. e at least the food was good

I just moved to this neighborhood and tried 43 Bar and Grill for the first time last week. It was okay, so I decided to give it another go tonight. Hungry, after a hard day at work, I ordered a beer with fish and chips. Nothing too fancy… However, when the meal arrived, it looked as if the fish had been in the fryer way too long… it looked burned. The bartender immediately asked if everything was okay. Maybe it was the look on my face… maybe the look of the fish. I said all was good and proceeded to try the meal in front of me. Perhaps, I was too tried… perhaps it was the dimmed lighting. It took me just a bite to confirm my suspicions. My dinner was way over cooked and they were trying to have me eat it anyways. I asked for the check… The bartender asked if I wanted anything else. There was never an apology, a smile, a look of concern… What really hurts is that the bartender acted as if nothing was wrong and served me a meal that was clearly burned. I left, walked a couple of blocks to The Dog and the Duck (second visit) and ordered the same. It was perfect. And the service was much better…

I like the place. Great for soccer games. Love the boneless wings here. Just tried the burger it was how you say? «aight». Still like the place but burgers not the best.

Great sports bar. Really push there sport well here. Do great food and drink deals during the games. Nice outdoor seating also

I was seeking out a place to watch the UFC fight near my place in Long Island City, and fortunately, 43 Bar & Grill was featuring it! The cover was $ 10, which in my opinion, isn’t that bad. They also have a really nice beer selection, and the food is pretty good.
If you’re looking for a good sports bar, definitely check this place out.

So I’m very disappointed to have to take away two stars from my previous review. Last night I ordered the mushroom burger medium rare. When it I bit into it was burnt to a crisp. The outside was black. I took off all the toppings and saw the burger was cut in half to check how done it was so the kitchen was definitely aware that this burger was not medium rare but beyond well done. I tried to flag down the waitress multiple times but to no avail. I only ate the fries and the cheese off the burger. When she finally came to give us the check I explained the situation and she apologized and said next time I need something I should get up in her face to get her attention. What? No discount or anything was given considering I couldn’t actually eat this burger so I paid $ 13 for fries and some cheese. We’d come back for the nachos which so far have never disappointed but I feel let down by the service and food last night. Hopefully next time will be better.

I’ve been coming here about once a month for the past 3 – 4 years and LOVE it. The food is great. While I normally stay away from meat, the wings are to die for. The expansion last year gives it an open friendly feel. The staff is awesome and attentative. While it might be difficult finding a seat on game nights, It’s packed for a reason. All in all two thumbs up: D

I jus ordered «Irish bacon & cabbage» it was by far the worst I have ever had. It was by No means traditional bacon and cabbage. Actually I don’t think it was even real Irish bacon. I think it was ham. And the cabbage was sautéed, the half a potato that I got with my $ 18.50 order was freezing cold, and what was supposed to be parsley sauce was a weird thick green gunk! I am so disappointed I wasted my $ 25 with tip. Stick to the wings bar 43!

I love the neighborhood so much and the aesthetic of the place. Yet, the service was terrible. We waited 10 minutes to be seated and then once we walked over to our table we waited another 10 minutes before anybody asked us our order/​gave us water (note: Wednesday at 7pm — not busy at all). I enjoyed the outdoor seating very much, along with the Cesar salad I ordered. It seemed fresh. Yet, the rest of the food reeked of ammonium hydroxide… a cleaning agent used in meat. 3 stars for the solid Cesar salad… thank god for being a vegetarian.

Probably will never go here again. Sucks because I love Sunnyside and i’m happy to see it become more and more like Astoria. I ordered a burger and it reeked of ammonia so much so that I couldn’t take another bite. They also served it to me pretty rare when asked for medium well. Service was poor.

I always order from here but today it was very disappointing. My wings were Cold and tasted lemony when I ordered honey barbecue wings. When I called they said it’s the same sauce as always and that was that. One less place I’m ordering from, sad to say.
Thank you nick I appreciate your quick response and I am in hospitality so I’m a hard critic but it happens. I get it all day so I will definitely be going back to you guys. Momentary insanity long day.

Always has business, outdoor seating.
I’ve only been here for the bar, but it’s not too bad!
Bartender was nice and funny. He is also a flirt which is definitely fun watching him! There were flies in the shop, I guess just a bad day haha.
A lot of people seem to eat here, so I guess I’d try that out. However, I’d recommend the bar for drinks and such.
TO BE HONEST, other bars seem more poppin and have better décor/​services!

Hands down the BEST nachos in sunnyside.
The wings are pretty good, and they offer a lot of different flavors.
Their famous Chipotle Chicken Toastie is just a grilled chicken sandwich on sliced bread. Nothing really special.
Delivery is also awesome and they actually listen to special requests like extra sauce

Such a great bar in Sunnyside! Lived there for 15 years and this is one of the best changes.
The ambiance is beautiful!
Staff is friendly.
Food is so good sober or drunk!
Love this place!
(Too bad i live in NJ. This is my visit to Sunnyside spot)

To start off, let me say that I have had good experiences here in the past, before they extended their space. My last experience, however, was so disgusting that I am officially done.
About four months ago I went to Bar 43 to meet a friend. I arrived first and left first before she showed up. Why? Because it smelled like the entire plumbing system had backed up. I mean it. It reeked, and I couldn’t handle it.
Last weekend I decided to give them a pass. This is an older neighborhood and pipes can back up. I went in to order food to go: the calamari and turkey club. The draft beer I had while waiting was a bit stale, but overall drinkable.
When I opened the food at home I was extremely disappointed. First off, the turkey club was the size of a shrunken piece of Wonder Bread. There were little scraps of white and dark meat turkey that looked like it was scooped from the bottom of a roasting pan. The fries were soggy as all get out and close to inedible.
What WAS inedible was the calamari. What the HELL was this? It was soggy, wet, slimy, orange and DRENCHED in the Asian sauce, along with warm cucumbers. This $ 10 appetizer was immediately placed in the garbage bin.
Bar 43 is decent for drinks, however I would only recommend going during happy hour, and please, do NOT order the calamari.

I live in the neighborhood and have been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner before. Recently my husband and I came here for dinner with our dog so we sat outside. The weather was very nice. We ordered chicken fajita and turkey burger. Both came out very good especially the fajita. The way they mixed with pepper and onion seemed pretty simple but I guess they let it stay really cook and that made it taste so delicious, the cooked-​all-​the-​way pepper and onions on the grill, cool! I mean hot! sizzling! The turkey burger was all right, I’m not a processed-​meat eater but hubby let me try so I could review. The taste was ok, but I would prefer that the turkey not too much compressed. We ordered with salad instead of fries (trying to stop growing). Our dog had fun being with us, as long as she’s not alone at home. She was well behaved and looked around at people, curious to know what everyone’s eating. Other people from other tables said hi to her and pet her, so she too had fun. Thanks for letting us enjoy our meals with our pet. We sat outside of course and away from the restaurant, so it worked out good. Our server Megan was a terrific waitress, she took care of many tables outside but paid attention to our request. She was nice to our pet too. As I said before, I came to this restaurant before. So far so good.

Ive been going to this place since it opened. The staff is excellent and so are the owners. The décor is higher end sports bar with plenty of screens. The recently expanded to the lot next door for a loungy area. Outdoor dining and excellent selection of beers on Draught. Dogs friendly outdoors they’re bring some water for your pooch.

More than a sports bar, Bar 43 serves pretty good food. During a (football, baseball, hockey) game the place packs up pretty fast. This place has multiple screens. This makes it easier to catch up with other teams.
I find the wait staff friendly. They provide quick service.
During Labor Day, this restaurant hosts a free BBQ for the neighborhood. They treat you to hot dogs, hamburgers, with fries or corn.
Talk about food, this place serves some pretty good salads. I tasted the kitchen sink salad. It comes with goat cheese, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and avocado. Delicious.
During the summer months, bring your dog to Bar 43 and dine outside. The wait staff brings water for your pup.
Located near the 7 train, you can walk down to Queens Boulevard to go shopping. A great place to hang out with your friends. Come and enjoy.

If I could have rated 43 a 3.5 I would have, but unfortunately Unilocal only does whole numbers. The good: beer selection, friendly service, and abundance of flat-​screen TV’s. The eh to eh+: the food.
No matter where you sit in 43 Bar & Grill, you will be able to see a beautiful HD TV screen, which is a HUGE plus at a sports bar. I also really appreciated that they have 30 beers on tap and offer some pretty solid drafts (e.g., Lagunitas, Blue Point) for $ 4 a pint between 5−7pm. As others have indicated, the ambiance is relaxed, modern, and clean. Another plus for sure.
Now, if I only rated 43 on the food, it’d be a 3. Not great, never inventing the wheel, but far far from bad. We started our meal with potato skins, which were the highlight — not overbaked, plenty of bacon bits underneath a melted blanket of cheddar. Nothing new, but who says new means good right? Next the entrees. My Gaelic burger was actually pretty good — juicy patty, well0cooked Irish bacon, plenty of sautéed onions. What lagged were the soggy-​ish fries (what can I say, I like at least a ‘lil crunch!) and the mayo-​y coleslaw. My friend’s chicken fajitas were inoffensive, but certainly not a standout, neither in flavor nor in presentation. This to me defines a 3 for food: serviceable, but not memorable.
However, the nice staff, spacious setup, and a nice tap list push my ranking up to a 4. I’ll probably be back, but more so because it’s in the neighborhood than because I HAVE to go.

There are 43 Bars and Grills in Queens, and this was the last one to open. I’ve met 43 ex-​girlfriends here and 43 ex-​boyfriends too. The longest-​lasting relationship was 43 days and it was with one of the Unilocal NYC CMs. I can’t tell you which one, except that he is a he, and is 43 years old, and has been involved with Unilocal for 43 months. He’s written 43 reviews, and has 43 friends on Unilocal.You can figure out the rest yourself, but you only have 43 minutes to do so, before I delete this review.
During the World Cup, I came here to watch the Semi Final between Brazil and Germany. The Second Half of it anyway — by which time the game was already over. It was so packed, that one could barely move inside.
The waitresses were understandably flustered. The drinks were expensive, but by NYC standards, they’re normally-​priced. I appreciated their clean bathrooms and places to plug my telephone in to charge despite all the commotion. I got a lot of dirty looks from the staff for standing next to the wall and guarding my phone, but I’m okay with that. I was trying not to be in the way, but everyone was in the way on this day so I didn’t have much of a choice. They were having a crazy busy match day. They could have used more screens and such because it was hard for everyone to see the games.
After 43 minutes of the 45-​minute second half, I left. It took 43 seconds to walk to the car, and 43 hours later, I was back in Buffalo. 43 days afterwards, I made notes of my experience, and 43 months later (or actually 12 months but close enough), I wrote this review. And as for the CM who is my ex: I’ve cried 43 tears over you today alone. Please come home, Daddy.
