“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 just had my daughter’s baptism at Fabio’s. From the food to the service everything was amazing! My guests were raving about the food. We did family style and it was more than enough food. We even had leftovers to take home! Fabio went above and beyond helping us set up the decorations the night before my party. We never felt rushed (we were there til 1am). He wants his guests to have a great experience and we did! Thanks to Fabio, Rose, Marty and the entire staff for a great party!“

“Don’t come here. Much too good for you. We don’t want you blowin this spot up. BEST KEPT SECRET 🤫 GO AWAY! NOT INVITED. Stay home.

For real, low key best family summer spot on the island. Entirely kid friendly tidal beach with more wildlife that you’ll know what to do with. Being a net and bucket if you have toddlers. Food is epic and beach side, bar is a MOVIE in a bait and tackle shop.

Endless summer and the most iconic family core memories.

But don’t come. Don’t want you here!“

“Ambiance - decent; comfortable
Service - excellent
Food:
- swordfish tacos - fish was bit dry and hard and topping needs some more finessing
- fries - delish; hot, good potatoes; perfectly fried
- house wine - the Chard/rose* was pretty good
.... go try this restaurant“

“Sundays with live music is great. Food is great also.“
