Favorite place to eat in LIC , no thrills spot . Eat drink and converse . Wings are the best , nachos are excellent. Price is definitely definitely ppl friendly. HH is from 4-8. Not a sports bar , they have a patio in the back , place is dimmed . No bright lights

Solid local bar. Great cash prices and above average drafts. Food looks good too. Open late

Chill pub by the 7 train. Good happy hour. All beers $5. $4 fries. Bar food menu, maybe a step up from a bodega. Neighborhood feel.

What a great bar. I am glad I found this place. The prices were all reasonable. We ordered some nacho and drinks. The nacho was good and huge. The drinks were all tasty. They have a happy hour but the normal drink price range is pretty good. They have a nice backyard space. I will be back to try their bottomless brunch.

Dominie's Hoek is the best little neighborhood bar! Beer is cold, food is tasty, bartender is so nice and very attentive. Yesterday was the hottest day of the summer, so far and my bf and I had some friends come up from Greenpoint for afternoon drinks. We started at LIC Bar up the street (also a great hang out) and then moved on to Dominie's when LIC Bar started getting more packed and it seemed their AC couldn't handle the heat anymore. So, for future reference, Dominie's AC is great! Haha We all shared nachos, buffalo wings, tater tots, and our friends each had hot dogs, also. The tots come with ketchup, and also a sriracha mayo that was really good. They have a nice looking backyard as well that was a little too hot to enjoy on this particular day, but I've walked by on countless occasions during the evening and seen plenty of people enjoying it. Just your prefect, laid back, friendly neighborhood bar with great snacks. I've read some great reviews about their brunch, so I'm excited to come back another weekend to try it.

This is the second time we've ordered take out from this place! The first time we ordered tater tots and 2 hot dogs. Which I totally recommend!!!!! The tater tots were perfectly fried, not too greasy but fried enough for them to be crunchy on the outside! I ate so many, they're so easy and addicting! The hot dog is your regular standard hotdog, cannot go wrong with that! I believe it was $3 each hotdog. This place is a solid American bar food place and is fairly affordable!!! This time we wanted to try more items so we got a burger with a side of those amazing tater tots lol and buffalo chicken wings!! Burger - 2/5 I would not order again....... See picture attached, I'm not sure why the burger looked so compact? I want to say maybe they're using a leaner cut of beef but it also oddly resembled a meatless burger. Either way, I was confused and thrown off!! The burger itself could also use some salt! :( I wasn't impressed with the burger but glad I tried it! Tater tots - still phenomenal. 6/5 Buffalo Chicken Wings - 3/5 I had high hopes for these since the other bar food items were so good!! Unfortunately these were overly fried, causing parts of the chicken to be super tough, dry and chewy! I also wished they had coated it in more sauce! If you like saucy wings, this is not the kind to order. I'd still come here for the tater tots!! Best in the neighborhood!!

Discovered Dominie's on Yelp when I was looking to bottomless brunch before meeting friends on the East River. I had such a fantastic time that I've gone back 5 times since. It is conveniently located on Vernon Blvd, right up the block from the 7 train. If you're just walking down the street it is easy to mixx because doesn't look like much from the outside but once you walk in theres a decent sized bar with some dining tables, a juke box and then a fabulous backyard area to dine outside. I almost always get a table outside when I come because it's such a cute patio area that you wouldn't otherwise know exists! The prices are great for the area, easily the cheapest bottomless brunch option I've found in NYC. It is $12 for an entree and $12 to add on unlimited mimosas and sangria. The waitstaff is always fairly friendly, I've had a few times where they've struggled to keep up with the patio area but I'll point the finger at understaffing. They also have a great happy hour on the weekdays from 4-8pm offering $5 drinks. Food is so good too. The omelette comes generously filled with the add-ons of your choice, the hamburger benedict is definitely a different twist on the traditional benedict but so generously portioned and the arugula salad with grilled chicken is a great diet friendly alternative! All in all, this is a great spot in LIC for brunch, happy hour, drinks with friends or a casual dinner.
