By Desert Rain Lounge, Forest Hills, Queens · November 2, 2026
Short answer: Desert Rain Lounge at 107-29 Metropolitan Ave in Forest Hills is open every day, Sunday through Saturday, from 4 PM to 2 AM, with hookah, cocktails, beer, wine and soju.
Forest Hills is a quieter neighborhood after dark than people expect, so finding somewhere still open late can take some searching. Here's what late night looks like at Desert Rain.
Every day from 4 PM to 2 AM, including Sundays and weeknights. There's no early closing midweek.
It gets busier as the night goes on, especially on Fridays, Saturdays and event nights. Earlier in the evening is calmer and good for a conversation; later is livelier.
The full bar and hookah are available while we're open: $13 cocktails, $6 shots, soju, wine, beer and seltzers, hookah in 28 flavors, and bar food like wings and fries. See the menu.
Weeknights, usually not. Weekends and event nights, a table request is a good idea.
People finishing a shift, groups heading out after dinner, people catching a late game, and anyone who doesn't want the night to end at 11. It's 21+ only.
