Longtime, family-run tavern featuring traditional Irish food, drinks & music in a homey setting.
From Google Maps reviews.
Stopped by The Cottage for brunch with a group of five. We went right when they opened, so there was plenty of seating, but the space filled up quickly. The food was amazing, and the prices felt very reasonable for the area. The waitress kept our coffee cups full, so no complaints there. Great spot if you’re looking for a traditional Irish breakfast in the heart of Queens.
We were outside. The light and quiet music are so good. The service personnel are very nice and polite. I liked food and enjoy the atmosphere.
Classic Irish pub and a neighborhood staple, with a homey atmosphere, great service and solidly delicious pub standards. We had the beef sliders, mini shepherds pie, onion rings and buffalo wings- all served quickly and with excellent service. We came on a night that was absolutely slammed due to a concert in Forest Hills Stadium being cancelled. The servers here handled the rush with grace and speed, and kept everyone happy with attentive service.
