50 Best Cocktail Bars near Freeport

“Went in for breakfast. Our server was decent. Walked away as I was finishing telling him my order, which came out ICE COLD & WRONG!!!! I requested a ham, COOKED/SAUTÉED ONION & American cheese omelet, fries and RYE toast with crispy bacon. My omelet was well done, the onions RAW, fries were ice cold my bacon was not cooked and not there had to tell the runner, and my toast was marble. All this for OVER &50.00!!! The server came by, we were basically finished. Asked how everything was. How would he or the runner know our order. Neither one looked at the order. NEVER AGAIN!!!“

“This is now my mid-week highlight, loved Live Music Wednesday! All the staff members were welcoming and accommodating....the facilities were clean, drinks were good and there was bar food available that night. Derrick Barnett and The Statement Band were high energy as usual. The owner is a dynamic performer too!

A Wicked Wednesday night!!!!!!!“

“I love going here and being outside.“

“First time there, went for lunch with a friend, food was delicious, very reasonable. Friendly staff, great location. Chatted with one of the partners, gave us a rundown on the project going on. When completed this will be great for Freeport and the Tri State area. Watch the space for updates and Good luck to all!“

“We were a large group of about 15 ladies celebrating our birthdays. It was a busy Saturday night and the servers and waiters were on point. I didnt have to fight hard to find them. The servers were very polite and helpful. The drinks were a little too strong for my liking. The food presentation and choices are good. A lot of mistakes were made with our food preferences (no cheese, etc). Atmosphere was live. I would rather go there for drinks than for dinner. Street parking and paid parking available.“

“I stumbled upon this place by accident while browsing the map, and it turned out to be an incredible culinary experience. The special summer menu was especially impressive. I tried the burrata, steak tartare, summer tomato soup, striped bass, and the Harvest Burger—every dish was delicious. Friendly staff and a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better.“

“The restaurant is all decorated for the holidays which makes this a magical place. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing just checking in as needed. Food was good. The lounge has become our Christmas place as this was our third year and we will be back.“

“I cannot say enough about the Library Cafe, the staff and the food! We had a 50th Birthday Party in the upstairs private room overlooking the bar. The food was delicious and there was PLENTY of it! The bar/wait staff was both attentive and quick getting to all of us! The party was perfect right down to the music which they let us pick! Definitely having more events at the Library!“

“This is the inside of bar“

“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“unos delos mejores restaurantes en la cuidad de long island la comida es espectacular con sabor criollo ..el ambiente muy familiar“

“The food and drinks were great and the service was excellent!!!“

“Great spot for a date night or just sitting by the bar for small bites and drinks! The food here was amazing. We've been here a few times and usually get a few small plates to share and every dish is fantastic, particularly the Spanish meatballs and the fresh calamari! The drinks are always great and feel like they're made with fresh ingredients!

This is definitely a hidden gem for those who are local but also deserves all the hype it can get.“

“I recommend everyone that requires excellent pallet for their dining pleasure, service that is second to none and great mixology, then Have It Haviland’s Way“

“FANTASTIC! I have been to ALOT of ramen spots in Long Island and this is among the top 5% best ramen. I sat inside for lunch. Incredibly rich broth. Chashu that does not taste old or too much fat - it was amazing. They did not skip out on toppings. I really recommend this spot :)“

“From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The welcome was warm, genuine, and inviting. The atmosphere made me feel like family from the start. And the food? Absolutely amazing! Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and prepared with love. You can truly tell that they take pride in both their service and their food. I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to come back!“

“Booked my son's communion with Genevieve. We had his party at the High Horse on May 2nd. Everything was amazing! Genevieve made booking & planning our party hassle free. Nick & Julia were the perfect team to work our party. All in all, my son said it best. It was the best day of his life so far. We will be back.“

“So happy to find a place near us that offers Gluten Free options for breaded chicken and French fries!! As the parent of a child with celiac it's amazing to find a place that is aware of cross contamination and has a dedicated GF fryer!“

“Amazingly delicious food and equally fantastic staff!! We ate there earlier today and were blown away! They even made something that we requested that wasn't on the menu and it was better than we've ever had! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming too! We will definitely be going here regularly and suggest everybody else does too. I promise you won't regret it!!“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“Alicia, the owner, takes great pride, in her restaurant. And it shows!! The food and service is great!! Brunch is my favorite!“

“Perfect little cozy spot for Breakfast/ Lunch with a European Atmosphere, spacious with seating that allows privacy and comfort.
Breakfast was great , I loved the touch of Lettuce on the plate which was tasty along with the potatoes and Eggs . The only thing that bothered me was the Bill which much to my surprise was $ 5.00 for a small cup of coffee.. that added $ 10 for my friend and myself. The issue is NOWHERE on the menu is it listed .. Our Waiter David was attentive and pleasant, but he should have mentioned that a cup of coffee is extra or offered a glass of Orange juice .. I’ll go there again because I really like the place and it’s close to my home .. next time I’ll ask if the glass of water they put in the table is in place of a nice morning cup of coffee…“

“I love to travel, and Revel restaurant in Garden City, NY, is truly one of the best restaurants I have been to. The managerial staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Melissa, our server, explained everything so well, and she took her time with us. The wait staff worked with her seamlessly so that everything came out on time, and our water glasses were always full. The cuisine offered so many different choices, even for vegetarians and vegans. The vegetarian dishes I tried were a myriad of flavors, and it was so nice to experience new creations that I have never had at any other restaurant. Revel’s decor and lighting made us feel like we were somewhere very special but also comfortable. If I lived near this restaurant, I would visit frequently. We loved our experience.“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“SO good. The service was amazing - so friendly and helpful with ordering our food and checking everything is good, the food- the ropa vieja with the sides (Tuesday special with the white beans-yessss!) the atmosphere - the music was sweet and light so I can enjoy a conversation with my friend. Five stars across the board! Thank you for a wonderful evening - incredible people, outstanding place.“

“Had such fun at the murder mystery!“

“Love their food and ambience. The only thing that I wish they can improve is their reservation online. It never allows me to reserve for 5 people. I always have to call in. When I call in since they open for dinners only it can get difficult to reserve a spot. Other than that this place is awesome!“

“Good spot for the family!“

“taco tuesday specials, delicious lobster soup“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“We have been coming to LB Social since Matt took it over years ago. The food is always On Point! The staff are always friendly, work well with one another, attentive Drinks are always good I don’t have 1 bad thing to say except why haven’t you been there yet if not ?“

“The best coffee baristas I love RS BEANERY!!! If your having an awful day just come there and you’ll be cheered up by the wonderful staff!!!! Can’t recommend RSB ENOUGH!!!!!“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“always great service and food and drinks also have great kid friendly events!!“

“We were looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat before going to a lecture at the Merrick Public Library. The photos of the food looked fabulous, so we decided to give Bourbon & Brews a try. We were greeted by Will, who rocks, offering happy hour specials and cocktails in a pint glass. Burgers were great, and the nachos were superior. Definitely will be back!“

“I love the toilets. And food. But yeah, the toilets are spectacular. And the food. Just do it.“

“Hola Buenas yo Busco trabajo De cocinero“

“Love!! Will definitely come back. Food was great. I got the steak and eggs that came with truffle fries. Portion size was perfect. I also got the mimosa flight which was worth it! Loved the vibe and the staff was friendly. Only note was that I asked for my steak medium and it was definitely on the well side, but it was still tasty.“

“The server did a great job with navigating the menu. It was our first time going to dinner there.“

“Delicious food and a great service too!!“

“Last Sunday I hosted a 50th birthday celebration for my son. We had explored several different restaurant options and when we arrived at Mangia e Bevi on Mothers' Day we were immediately greeted by the assistant manager Debbie. She enthusiastically explained the menu options, showed how the tables would be set up and, even, introduced us to the team members who would be our servers. We were not only impressed by how beautiful the restaurant is, but how genuine and forthright Debbie was. Fast foward, our party consisted of 23 people who have not stopped talking by how delicious the food was, how attentive the service was (shout out to Carmela and Chiara), how solicitous Debbie and Manager Stacie were, how efficient the bartender, kitchen staff, hostess and every other employee were! We enjoyed the rice balls, coconut shrimp, crab cakes, baked clams, calamari, pasta, veal, chicken, salmon, cannoli, cookies, wine, beer, prosecco, and fabulous craft cocktails!!! Shall I go on? Do not hesitate for a second and book your next party there!“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“

“OMG!! Absolutely delicious!!! This is my 10th time here and I am still impressed with the food and service. I had the Tuscany chicken melt- highly recommend and my sister had the Parmesan crusted chicken - phenomenal!! Our waiter Anthony- THE BEST! Attentive, polite and generous. Every time I visit NY- I look forward to coming here! I wish they would branch out to Florida. Compliments to the chef and staff- keep up the GREAT WORK!“

“I enjoyed a Friday night dinner there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bartenders were very attentive.
The dining room is small,outdoor seating and seating at the bar is available.

They are able to open the large windows in the front of the restaurant and gives an all around al fresco dining experience. It was a very warm day, and I would have preferred air conditioning but it was still nice.

I didn't have a reservation, but was able to sit at the bar. Which was very nice.

They have a good drink menu with nice cocktails and a good selection of wines and beers. I went with a Peroni.

The menu is small but the is a great selection. The roasted chicken wings were delicious, the Uncle Frank's Pizza and the Meatball Pizza were excellent!

I will go back to Uncle Franks but will remember to make a reservation.“

“The food, service and staff is excellent. This is one of my families favorite restaurant to always go“

“The food is amazing, and the staff is always friendly and on point. I highly recommend this place to everyone if you are in the NYC area. It is in Forest Hills, Queens, NY right next to the Forest Hills train station. ----“
