Located at 27‑24 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Dutch Kills is a highly regarded cocktail bar founded in 2009 by Sasha Petraske of Milk & Honey fame. With dark wood paneling, tile flooring, cozy booths, and vintage fixtures, it exudes an intimate, Prohibition-era charm . The bar is celebrated for its meticulous attention to ingredients and ice quality—cocktails are expertly mixed using fresh juices and block‑cut crystal-clear ice nightly. Signature drinks like the Petraske Old Fashioned, Capital Gains, and rotating seasonal offerings run around $15–18 each, plus a curated selection of spirits, wines, and local beers. Service is knowledgeable and approachable—bartenders tailor bespoke cocktails based on your taste preferences, often offering “dealer’s choice” drink experiences. The crowd is young and serious about cocktails, with a vibe that’s both relaxed and sophisticated. Music adds to the ambiance—DJs and live performances frequently appear in the back “Debbie’s” lounge, blending classic tunes with contemporary sounds. Dutch Kills also offers minimal but satisfying Italian-style sandwiches via Troppo Stretto, ideal for pairing with drinks or soaking up the alcohol. Despite its nondescript entrance along industrial Jackson Avenue, inside is an ambiance that feels legendary, making it a destination for cocktail lovers across NYC .
