"Somewhere between local hang, speakeasy, and queer bar, Upstairs is the kind of place where it’s easy to become a regular, even if you don’t live around Jackson Heights. Thanks to stiff, unfussy drinks and the self-described “sassy” bartender who anchors and co-owns the narrow, living room-like space, you’re guaranteed to have a great conversation and a few too many cocktails here before staggering out at 2am, likely with a whole new group of friends." - rob anderson, matt clifton, nikko duren, neha talreja, bryan kim
