Located at 34-20 Broadway in Astoria, Queens, The Highwater is a bar/restaurant that calls itself, “Astoria’s Best Tropical inspired restaurant”. During our visit, we found The Highwater more bar than restaurant. The craft cocktail selection offers numerous creative drinks, usually costing $11/drink (take that, expensive Manhattan cocktail spots!). The dozen or so craft beer offerings are all bottled/canned and span numerous breweries across the U.S. In addition to Saturday/Sunday brunch, the main food menu primarily offers appetizers. With its corner location (at the southwest corner of Broadway and 35th Street), the Highwater is filled with lots of natural light. We look forward to returning here on our next Astoria NYC bar crawl.
