La Sala

This bar and lounge in Astoria offers Latin-American spirits and craft cocktails in addition to the usual wine and beer options. Whether you come for happy hour, a date or girls’ night out, you’ll likely hear global tunes like bachata, salsa, cumbia and Latin jazz playing on the speakers. Tufted sofas, dark wood built-ins and dim lighting create a dark, moody ambiance. Visitors should also keep an eye out for occasional RuPaul’s Drag Race screenings, themed parties and other pop culture-infused events.
