21+ alcohol-free infused lounge and year-round garden in Long Island City
Description
Kakes NYC is an infused bakery and 21+ social lounge in Long Island City, Queens, built around over-the-top desserts, infused baked goods, and signature zero-proof mocktails. The venue is completely alcohol-free, trading a traditional bar program for a mocktail-driven menu alongside shareable dinner plates and weekend brunch — a distinct option for groups who want nightlife energy without alcohol. The space is split into two main areas: an Indoor Lounge with comfortable seating and a lively social layout, and The Garden, a climate-controlled indoor/outdoor space with a retractable roof that works year-round. Custom art throughout and a regular lineup of live entertainment — comedy, burlesque, karaoke, and DJs — give the venue a vibrant, late-night feel. For events, Kakes is flexible: their private events team handles everything from a 30-person birthday table to full buyouts of The Garden or the entire venue, including custom experiences like brand launches, performances, and company parties. Birthdays get a built-in perk — the guest of honor eats free when joined by at least 5 friends who order entrees. Note that entry is strictly 21+ with valid government-issued photo ID, and no outside alcohol is permitted.
