Bar 43
Stocked with an Irish staff and menu, this feels like a modern update of Sunnyside’s old-school pubs. Nine plasma screens give the place plenty of sports-bar cred and during peak hours, a spiffed-up crowd makes it feel kind of clubby—like, B&T clubby. More often, though, Bar 43 exudes a casual, friendly vibe. 43-06 43rd St between Queens Blvd and 43rd Ave (718-361-3090, bar43.com)![]()
