From Google Maps reviews.
Bukowski’s Pub in Maspeth is one of those rare neighborhood spots that manages to feel both timeless and refreshingly alive at the same time. From the moment you walk in, there’s an unmistakable sense that this place has character—real character, not something manufactured. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and lively, making it equally suited for a casual night out, catching a game, or just unwinding after a long day. The first thing that stands out is the welcoming
Awesome NY bar. Great people, great service, great drinks, great fun! We popped in for one and rolled out after many! Met so many lovely locals including Glen and Martyn. it really ended our trip from the UK with a bang. Warmest welcome and the martinis and G&Ts kept on coming. You must visit!!! Thanks guys! from Sally June Alex Gemma & Leia on our way to the airport to fly home.
Went in for a drink on a Thursday around 4 pm before meeting some people nearby. Had a GREAT pint of Guiness! I could tell that the people there were local. Heard some great Irish accents! Though I didn't interact, I could tell it would be a place that had great craic!
