HGS is a reflection of our personal tastes and what we enjoy. We love Astoria and although there are some great watering holes in Astoria, we wanted to open a bar where people can come socialize, enjoy a fine cocktail or choose from a variety of beers, scotches and bourbons, which we personally enjoy and have chosen; so as to provide a great drinking experience for our patrons.

HGS also has an outdoor garden where patrons can enjoy their beverage and/or a smoke in an intimate environment.

In addition we host art exhibitions, live music, film shorts from local film makers. Our original mission statement is: Hell Gate Social welcomes artists of all disciplines, revolutionaries and fallen angels
