Hell Gate Social , Astoria

Hell Gate Social - Astoria’s best kept secret, Hell Gate Social, has no sign or windows to peak into and goes usually goes unnoticed by those who are not in-the-know. But behind the sleek black wall and door lies a truly praiseworthy lounge. The Manhattan-style lounge appeals to the newly arrived hipsters in the neighborhood while retaining enough authenticity to keep the cool locals happy. The unique and sophisticated décor of the Hell Gate Social is complimented by the ever-changing collection of artwork (available for sale) that lines its walls. Appealing to the growing artistic community in Queens, Hell Gate Social offers an array of interesting events such as film festivals and live music shows. There is also a courtyard open to (those damned) smokers and a fine selection of liquor and beer at affordable prices for the drinkers.  A good time whether you stumble in or make plans ahead of time.
