I hosted some friends for my 30th birthday here and it was the perfect event, no small part because of this space. Everyone who came mentioned how much they loved the spot and the vibe. The drinks were great and I was able to bring in food (we ended up ordering some of the food they offer as well to snack on - delicious). What I will rave about most is the staff. Audrey took our orders all night and was the kindest, most helpful and attentive person. Also shout out to Amanda and JR for being so great as well in answering all my questions. I think I found my new favorite spot!!
Review Update: STILL amazing AND doggos are welcome! This place is an Astoria GEM!! If you love a cool, laid back bar vibe with a fantastic selection of local brews and mouthwatering sandwiches, Heart of Gold is here for YOU! (and me, frankly ) I came here recently on a Monday evening to take advantage of their movie night in their backyard. I was pleasantly surprised with their indoor and outdoor facilities. In addition, the staff here are very friendly and they all had lovely smiles on their faces. In all seriousness, I can hang at the bar all night long. Definitely give this place a visit and if you love prosciutto, I recommend their "Tough Love" panini. It's to for for. Prosciutto, goat cheese, and honey. MARVELOUS! I'll definitely come back VERY soon!
