Happy Hour at SingleCut Beersmiths
SingleCut Beersmiths is Astoria’s pioneering craft brewery, brewing since 2012 in a big, industrial-chic taproom a short walk from the Ditmars end of the line. The name nods to the single-cut guitar, and music runs deep here – vinyl spins behind the bar and live sets return most weeks. Expect European-style lagers, hazy East Coast IPAs and sours poured in a room built for lingering.
The vibe is communal tables, pinball and a spacious, easygoing crowd of beer nerds and neighborhood regulars. Food comes via rotating pop-up kitchens and vendors rather than an in-house menu, so plan around whoever is cooking that week. It’s a destination pour, not a bargain hunt.
What to Expect
SingleCut does not run a happy hour, and no recurring pint or drink deal is advertised on its site or socials. Beer is priced by the pour throughout opening hours. Note the taproom bar is closed Monday and Tuesday (can shop only, 10am-4pm) and opens Wednesday through Sunday – check hours before you head over.
The Room
A 5,000-plus-square-foot industrial-chic taproom with communal tables, a long bar, pinball and vinyl spinning behind the taps. There’s room to spread out, and live music turns the space lively on show nights.
