Wingfest 2017 Kicks Off in Astoria We’ve been hearing multiple, though unsubstantiated, reports from around the Internet that Studio Square, the beer garden, bar and party spot on 36th Street, has closed. The 30,000 square-foot space is known for throwing large parties and events of all kinds, and for drawing in people from Queens and beyond. But it has drawn mixed reactions from people who live nearby. Some enjoy its energy and events, while others have complained about the noise and crowds. The website is still up, listing their opening hours as Thursday through Sunday nights, and their Facebook page was last updated on November 4. However, the last event posting was back in April. While some people seem to believe the space is closed for good, others seem under the impression that it’s only closed for the winter season. Though the rumors are swirling, we were unable to reach Studio Square’s owners for comment, although their phone number is still active, with a Studio Square-branded voicemail recording. We’re going to attempt to get ahold of them again, and we’ll keep you posted! If you’ve heard anything, let us know!

Wingfest 2017 Kicks Off in Astoria 13 Comments Bill November 29th, 2018 After Queens Community Board 1 reached out to Studio Square NYC in regards to renewing their liquor license on Nov. 10, management confirmed that they there would be no need since the business would be closing their doors. https://qns.com/story/2018/11/29/studio-square-nyc-astoria-permanently-closed-mysterious-circumstances/?fbclid=IwAR3AQrEYHJAdWHJXqLp2mkwvylR6gNZjGeotq1a-UXqqgomOaskIeBQltmo Reply John T. November 20th, 2018 Liquor license renewal has been denied! Studio square is closed! Reply Gunther November 21st, 2018 How do you know? Reply Skip Seglipse November 15th, 2018 It’s Thursday. Is the place open? Reply Laura Caseley November 15th, 2018 Nope. Reply Erin November 14th, 2018 FWIW, we just had our son’s birthday party there this past Saturday afternoon, so it was definitely open then. And we had a great time – the big open indoor space was perfect, party package was reasonable, and management was easy to deal with. I interacted with two GMs and neither mentioned anything about closing (not that they necessarily would). The place is only open Thursday-Sunday’s right now so no surprise if no one is answering the phone today. Reply Mackenzi Farquer November 14th, 2018 It’s our understanding that they called staff two days ago out of the blue and said Sunday was their last day. Reply Steven November 14th, 2018 I’m confused, has anyone tried to go? Did someone go over the weekend and they weren’t open. If a Facebook page is the only evidence wouldn’t you wait until you could send someone to the space before printing? This seems flimsy. Reply Mackenzi Farquer November 14th, 2018 We’ve spoken to people familiar with the establishment and they’ve confirmed Sunday was their last day. We’ve also gotten MANY emails to this effect from patrons and staff, but we can’t reach the owners to confirm the story. But I don’t ask my writers to write up anything I’m not sure of. -Mackenzi Reply Marc November 21st, 2018 I just this listing for an auction 11/26 https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bfd/d/restaurant-bar-nightclub/6753898468.html Reply Colleen November 14th, 2018 This place used to be fun but has changed. Every time friends and I want to go here, they set a cover charge to get into the place for UFC fight nights, so we go to another bar. Last time, my boyfriend and I went to meet friends and were asked to pay a $30 cover charge, even though our friends were already inside having not paid a cover. It was like all of a sudden at 7 pm you had to pay a cover. I’m sure it would be more fun if there wasn’t a cover charge. Reply Skip Seglipse November 14th, 2018 It has never closed for “the season” in the past. They have heaters outside and the indoor area is large. Reply Laura November 14th, 2018 I was just there on Sun 11/11 and it was open Reply Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
