Austin's Ale House • 1991

Steps from the Kew Gardens LIRR station, this Queens pub anchors Austin Street with 20 craft taps and Tuesday Lobster Night, a ritual that has drawn regulars since the early '90s. Dark woods, etched glass, and a summer patio set the scene for Prime Rib specials and burgers washed down with one of the borough's deepest beer selections. The bar stays open until 4 AM, outlasting the movie theater next door and the late-night crowd spilling off the trains.
