Dutch Kills

Dutch Kills is an exceptional cocktail bar located at 27-24 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, housed behind an unmarked industrial-style door. Founded in 2009 by Richard Boccato and the late Sasha Petraske, it has been integral to defining modern cocktail culture in New York City. The bar features dim lighting and vintage decor creating a sophisticated yet cozy ambiance, with cocktails made using only the finest spirits and freshest ingredients, including distinctive crystal-clear Hundredweight ice. The curated selection of spirits is complemented by a small menu of bar snacks and live jazz and ragtime music in the background. Dutch Kills maintains the legacy of influential mixologist Sasha Petraske and remains a cornerstone of NYC's craft cocktail scene.
