Food was a little above average for a brunch menu. Potions were a nice size served in small like cake plates not very appealing Cocktails were unique and very tasty. Beers on tap were craft and served in warm glasses Bartender Bruno was very friendly and helpful with the menu and the events happening in the coming times. Music at a very nice volume and pretty up to date. Very comfortable space with a very inviting atmosphere in the backyard. Will try that maybe on their Tuesday evening movie night. Suggested to get there early first come first seated. Check out schedule for what movies are playing Very open to couples of all genders and a feel good atmosphere. 1st dates sure check it out. It could be a place to just chill at.

It was a vibe!!! I'm not usually a bar goer but we found ourselves wanting to go out for a bit and I've always heard the best things about the ditty so I recommended we should try it out. The mocktail options were good, if only there was maybe 1 or 2 more options. But for those who do drink, the options were plentiful. The menu was the perfect size for food options and could make anyone happy. The bartender was so nice and attentive. Loved our experience here.

I love this place! I've been here a handful of times pretty late. The kitchen is open late! I had a burger before and I enjoyed it. I had the fried chicken sandwich another time. It wasn't my favorite it was too salty and hard. Not a light crisp. Can you tell we love the espresso martinis. One of the few bartenders that don't make a face when you order an espresso martini. Their signature one is so good! Not too sweet and perfect. The bartenders have all been really nice and attentive. They got that Trader Joe's training.

Our favorite bar in Ditmars!!! Love the ambience, the music, the vibe. The burger and fries are sooooo freaking addictive and the kitchen's open til 3am! We also love Sebastian and Palco they're so amazing!

Cute spot to grab drinks during the week. Friendly service. Cocktails were tasty too. Would come back!

This place is amazing, I brought my girlfriend here for date night and I couldn't have picked a better place. I got the double smash burger and it was exactly how I wanted it cooked and my girlfriend got the chicken Crunchwrap. That was so good we had to get another one to go! After dinner we decided to hit the bar for a little bit, and when I say you need to get the Head Hancho.. u need to get it!!!!! 10/10 drink, couldn't even tell u how many I had! Haha My gf got the white negroni & tonic and she loved it. Matt was our bartender and he was incredible, great service, felt like everyone in there was my friend. I highly recommend coming here, & I will be back soon, that's for sure!! Great service, great atmosphere, great food, and drinks.

This is such a great local bar! It has everything. During week nights, the bar has a casual atmosphere where you can bring a date or grab a drink with friends. It's dimly lit and the string lights hanging up above offer an intimate and cozy glow. During certain time of year the host events, such as a weekly movie nights throughout the winter. On weekends, typically after 10 you'll find a dj and a packed bar area. If loud bars with lots of people is your late night going out jam, the ditty is a great one to add to your list. If you're like me and that's not your scene, opt for a week night or before 10/11 on a weekend. My one area of improvement for the ditty is their cocktail list. They don't offer a huge variety and it feels like the kind of bar that should. If they added 3-5 more craft cocktails to their menu I think it would be a huge improvement.

The biggest thing about The Ditty is, this is one of 2 places in Astoria whose kitchen stays open until 4am. (Every day. No delivery however) So if you find yourself in the situation where you missed kitchen last call from all other Astoria restaurants, this is the place for you. And their food is actually pretty good. Red Neck Korean is one of my favorites and I definitely recommend it. It does have kumchee in it instead of the regular lettuce or cabbage but it's not spicy at all so if that's your concern, you have nothing to worry about. You should get that with fries, make sure to use the white sauce though since you might find those too salty without it Service is good. On weekend nights, this place pretty much turns into a nightclub (food still available) with DJ and all. So you'd get pretty much what you need no matter when you go, depending on day and time. Jazz night every Wednesday.

Great spot to hang with friends or a small crew. Lots of board games available or you can bring your own. Great music to vibe to. Pretty decent drink list. Waiters are very attentive. Beautiful interior with the string lights. Also has a back patio for events or just to hang around.

They say that every neighborhood should have a bar/pub to unwind. The Ditty is that bar... As soon as you walk in there is that old school bar vibe. My friend and I stopped by for a cocktail and a beer. The Ditty has some great drinks created by some awesome mixologist. I so enjoyed the music too! The DJ was rockin' some old school disco - I couldn't help but start grooving in my booth !!! We tried the Old Bay Fries and they were cooked to perfection. We devoured the whole basket. Push the door to leave, push it real good! Long Live The Ditty - You need a sign "I am Ditmars Boulevard" !!! (Entourage)
