Craft brews & inventive cocktails presented in a vibrant setting with a yard & BYO food policy.
"Pye Boat Noodle and Butcher Bar are two of our favorite spots to eat in Astoria, which might seem irrelevant to this guide, especially because neither one is a good place to drink beer. However, both of them are about a block from Diamond Dogs, which, in addition to great beers, has a BYO food policy. Hang out in the backyard and try the “can of the week” while eating burnt ends and wings or noodles topped with pork rinds." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"Bring your own food — cake! — to Diamond Dogs in Astoria, a casual neighborhood bar with above-average cocktails and beer. Beer fans will geek out over the rotating can selection, preferably on a sunny day in the picnic table-filled backyard. There are no reservations, so arrive early to stake some space." - Paul Schrodt, Stefanie Tuder
"Diamond Dogs is a casual bar in Astoria with good beers on tap and “cans of the week” that’ll cause beer nerds to make the weekend N/W look like the L at rush hour. If you’re bringing in food, you have two great options that are both about a block away. In the winter, eat a bowl loaded with meatballs and pork rinds from Pye Boat Noodle at the bar, and when the weather is nicer, eat some burnt ends and smoked wings from Butcher Bar in the backyard." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren

"If Castro isn’t in a hurry, he likes to go to Diamond Dogs in Astoria, Queens. He says that while the bar is out of the way for some, their Mezcal-based Paper Plane and ever great playlists are well worth the trek." - Dillon Mafit
