Queen’s Room, owned by Antonia Joannides, is basically Astoria royalty. This warm, welcoming and inclusive bar and restaurant makes everyone feel like they’re part of the Queen’s court. If you’re a regular and a good tipper, you pretty much are. It’s one of those rare spots that isn’t chasing a trend or trying to fill a niche. Queen’s Room exists to serve its community in whatever way it’s needed—whether that’s your go-to coffee shop and work station, your favorite brunch hangout or your date night standby. Most evenings, there’s a special deal going on. Mondays are for Girl Dinner: $30 gets you a dirty martini, Caesar salad and fries. Tuesday is Spritz Hour (happy hour’s cooler, bubblier cousin) with $10 select spritzes. Wednesdays are for couples with a $120 date night prix fixe for two that includes an appetizer, two entrées, one dessert and a bottle of wine. Thursdays are dubbed Day Drinking Day, with half-price bottles of wine all day long. The menu changes seasonally, but Queen’s Room has a few staples that aren’t going anywhere (thankfully). The QR Burger, topped with bourbon BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, arugula and swiss on a brioche bun, is a standout. So is the Chubby Chicken Sandwich with pickled onions, garlic aioli, slaw, bacon and cheddar.
