Hell Gate Social

Editorial Review

Name sounds like a Joss Whedon production, but is actually neighborly art bar. Extends a welcome to "artists of all disciplines, revolutionaries and fallen angels," which can't be said for just every venue on Astoria Boulevard. Stealth entry leads to low-lit space decked in rotating local art. Well-edited bourbon and scotch list, but fortify yourself first with clever sammies like the house-roasted beef with horseradish cream cheese. Backyard expanse good for a summer smoke and a green tea mojito.
