Drinks in Forest Hills

A bar on Station Square, thirty years in the same doorway, started in 1995 by Christopher Lucien File and now run by his sister Jamie. Burgers and white wine mussels are the menu and there is a house sangria. The walls carry concert posters and band memorabilia, which makes sense given what is over the wall.

Mon to Fri, 5pm to 10pm. Sat, noon to 10:45pm. Sun, noon to 9:30pm

A bar and kitchen by the Long Island Rail Road station with a long wooden counter, a couple of dozen taps and burgers and wings off the kitchen. It opens at noon every day and runs to two in the morning on Friday and Saturday. The crowd is local most nights and becomes a Stadium crowd when there is a show. There are booths in the back and the televisions are on.

Sun to Wed, noon to midnight. Thu, noon to 1am. Fri and Sat, noon to 2am
