This place is definitely one of our favorites. They offer an excellent variety of rotating beers and serve the best cheeseburger on the block. While the service can be a bit unpredictable and it can get quite noisy at times, we still really enjoy coming here.
It's a nice spot to enjoy a pint. However, I wasn't notified that there was an extra charge for the side of bleu cheese to accompany my cauliflower buffalo bites, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, unlike my friend's buffalo chicken wings, my dish didn’t come with any carrots or celery.
Was an excellent space for our event! Dean (our server was super helpful, and we had a great time :
Ciara the manager helped us reserve a large section for a community event last week. We were welcomed warmly and their app ordering system was explained to us. The app would have made the night very easy for the servers but it had a malfunction that made it unusable. The Rivercrest team pivoted and took our orders the old fashioned way without complaint. Our server Dean went from a relatively easy night to hectic when the app didn't work. He did a great job especially considering the group kept moving tables on him! Thanks again to Rivercrest for accomodating us!
Rivercrest is a vibrant spot known for its elevated American bar fare, featuring standout dishes like buffalo wings, cheeseburgers, and creative small plates such as fig jam flatbread and fried spinach artichoke balls. The lively sports bar atmosphere, enhanced by multiple TVs and spacious outdoor seating, makes it ideal for casual gatherings. Guests praise the friendly, attentive service and rotating craft beer selection. The hip, airy space accommodates families and groups comfortably, making it a versatile destination for brunch, dinner, or drinks. While some menu items occasionally miss the mark, Rivercrest remains a favored neighborhood gem with a welcoming vibe and consistent quality.

The food is very good. Menu items are shareable ,bar food, and some different items like flat bread with fig jam and goat cheese or spinach and artichoke dip fried in a ball. Definitely recommend ordering green tea shots as well!
Our waiter Rachel and manager Ciara went above and beyond to make our first visit to the Rivercrest an amazing time. Everything we drank and ate was delicious. Highly recommend the Buffalo wings, burger, and chicken sandwich. We got a side of fries and a side of tots to try a bit of everything. As someone who only goes for fries, the tots were surprisingly fresh, crispy, and tasty. Tiki Toki drink is the way to go if you want to be transported to an island. Service and atmosphere was perfect.
Love their fresh beer taps and seasonal rotation of IPAs and Sours! Arguably one of the best wing spot in Astoria.

My wife lived a block from here when we started dating and now one of my longest term and one of my closest friends moved a few blocks away and both love this place. My wife likes the buffalo cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, the pretzel, fried pickles, smash burger, and the Santa Fe bowl. I’ve tried the fish tacos, the curry, the blackened chicken sandwich, and the sliders. Today I went for brunch and I got the vegan burrito (pictured) and my friend got the eggs florentine with salmon. I have to admit that with the exception of the brunch menu (somewhat) the kind of food they serve at Rivercrest (somewhat elevated American bar food) is not the sort of cuisine to which I am naturally drawn and I’m never excited to come. However, my wife likes it a lot and my close friend loves it—-and I never mind going. One final note: the service is great and the space itself is magnificent. It is usually very easy to get a table and the space itself is wide and airy. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
