“Used to go here for metal shows when it was Finns. Glad to see the local scence is still alive and well here. Love their stage room. The black lights and the black light recsssive images along with the color changing lights pointed at the pictures make an awesome effect. The sound quality is very good. The art everywhere is great. The bartender was also kind and made good drinks. The bathrooms were clean and upkept well.“

“I want to start by saying the buffalo chicken egg rolls are the best and I mean THE BEST Buffalo chicken egg rolls I have ever had. I got garlic parm wings as my main and they were also delicious. Came on a weekend and it was very busy with live music so make reservations!“

“We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Jon Barrios and Jimmy Hahn! They nailed all of our visions. There is not one thing we would change about our wedding day. We enjoyed every single moment from start to finish. Jon goes above and beyond to make sure that there is not a stress or a worry for the couple. The staff truly makes you feel like you’re royalty and that they genuinely care about your happiness. The day was filled with gorgeous views, delicious food and drinks, and so much love and fun! I am forever grateful to the staff at View for making our day picture perfect.“

“Great food great staff indoor outdoor dining“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Tap Room (Patchogue) (specifically the Patchogue location). We were invited to a family party, buffet-style. I reached out to the restaurant via email, because I wanted to make sure they could accommodate my daughters food allergies -- eggs, soy, sunflower seeds, tree nuts and peanuts, or I would plan ahead and pack snacks she could safely eat instead. The Culinary Director, Joseph Walsh, called me the next day. He spoke to me for awhile, went over her food allergies, made some suggestions, and assured me that he would come up with something she could safely eat. The morning of the party, he sent me an email to confirm we were coming and his suggestions for a safe meal (rice and beans sauteed with bell peppers, chicken cutlet w/ no egg, and a mixed fruit salad). I emailed him back that just rice and beans and the fruit salad would be fine, because she doesn't eat chicken. He emailed me back, concerned that rice and beans and a fruit salad wouldn't be enough, but I assured him it would be fine because she's only 7 and has anxiety over trying new foods at restaurants (understandably), so sticking with rice and beans and fruit salad, which she's comfortable with, would be perfect. At the event, Joseph told my relative that he wanted to talk to us, and when we arrived, he came to introduce himself, told me that he was making sure everything was prepared separately and would be ready for her shortly. Absolutely fantastic service. We truly, truly appreciated all his care and effort, because that's sadly not the norm most of the time when we try to eat out. Thank you Joseph at the Tap Room in Patchogue!“

“Burger excellent with fresh ground beef, making it a cut above. Bisque so good as always. Glad I got 2 orders. Patrice was very personable and it's awesome to see that the even though there are a couple of enhancements, the place still feels the same, down to the music... nice to have the Stones and Aerosmith in the background while waiting for my Togo order. (A non Facebook user went earlier today and asked me to let you know that although it has a few years since his last visit, Twomorrows is still a great, dependable, delicious place!)“

“We rented out the restaurant for the evening for a wedding elopement celebration. The bartenders were absolutely amazing and so on point! The food was not bite-size but real burgers and sandwiches and so delicious. The DJ was added onto the party package by the restaurant and people danced all night. Everything was turned key I didn’t have to worry about anything at all it was such a fun night and such a beautiful location because it was decorated for the holidays. It comfortably fit 50 people! I wish I could throw the party all over again highly recommend this spot for a private event!!“

“Patrons, bar tenders and owner very friendly and welcoming. I went in by myself, started hitting some pool balls, a patron came up to me and asked if I wanted to play a game. After we played a few games he introduced to some of other guys and gals there. Really nice time for me. When in the area I go back, very relaxing.

Parking: Parking is fine“

“Lost for words.Welconed from the moment I walked in and opened my mouth.Being from Liverpool UK. The conversation went from music to history and everything in-between. Th customers here are far from beyond exceptional.Bobby fhe maintenance, bouncer, plumber, bar attended helper. The guy with a heart of stone. He knows a bot about everything and a gem in a pub for visitors. Thana you.Mario is another gem, bit of a wild card, not a cig, and he will make you laugh all night. He's a loud character and so nice to know.This is a great pub.LCF game“

“The quintessential neighborhood bar. Lot's of regulars that work in the trades/union members. Good-natured banter all around.As a woman in a predominantly male bar, I was included in the conversation, and had a great time. The bartender went out of her way to recommend good places to eat and she felt like an old friend. Love her!“

“Let me say this, any review of ones favorite hangout is biased, so here I go, if u look for fancy or food this isn't it, I suggest u stick with what u familiar with, I love this place, a quintessential dive bar, been going there for years, gritty, rough and LI CHARMING, great people, bartenders as well as locals, (sometimes crazy, nutty, friendly, funny, humble, normal or a little misery) it's all here, 20 years and never felt hostile, go check it out everyone is welcome, CHEERS“

“I love this place! They provide tasty meals, their menu is decent, The cook in that place is well trained, I enjoy very much tasting all their food. The food is consistently of high qualtity, the service towards the visitors is very good too. I go often to this restaurant and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it to all.“

“Place is a dump. Drugs all over. People in and out of the bathroom doing them No one seemed to care. Also went outside for a few minutes and came back all my money was gone. Bartender said she thought I left. I had just ordered a drink. Stay away“

“Mon tues sat coem visit me from 11-7“

“The owner's are fantastic people!“

“best bar in the ronkonkoma area, great services, friendly staff“

“You know that pub that never fails, that pub that always greets you with a smile that comes from the heart rather than the intention of taking your money, that pub that watches your back if you come in alone, that pub that stands up for female comfort and security during a night out, that pub that leaves you with dream like memorable moments when your week has been nothing but a nightmare. Well, to put it simply, this is that pub.“

“Excellent food and staff! Highly recommended!“

“Came here on a whim the other night and had an amazing time. The people here were so friendly and kind. The bartender Sue (lol idk how to spell it) she was a gem helped me feel really comfortable. The drinks were reasonably priced. The people here take pool seriously though so bring your game face. Parking was easy & I suggest paying & tipping with cash. Oh and most importantly the bathroom was clean!!“

“As a musician who has played so many bars all over NY state I must say the environment at Tailgsters is so incredibly special. First, they treat the bands with love and respect. It should be the norm but sadly it’s not always the case. They go above and beyond. From the ownership to every single enologee that works there, it’s impossible not to absolutely love every person associated with this bar. The crowd is great and super friendly and safe and I genuinely look forward to playing there again. They treat their customers, staff; and performers like family. Really like family. I am so grateful that we’ve played there twice and I’m already looking to playing there again. Michelle behind the bar is a genuinely great person and makes awesome drinks, but every single person there is so approachable and engaging. I can recommend Tailgsters as a genuinely fun environment that treats everyone like family. I look forward to just visiting when I’m not playing. Impressed is a huge understatement. Thank you so much for treating our band the way you did. Truly an Awsome night and the staff and crowd at Tailgatets made our night extra special. Thank you for being genuine and amazing people. They’re doing it right!!! Beyond grateful for an awesome night!!! Thank you!!!!“

“Very very nice place to go Katie the bartender is very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!“

“A very welcome addition to the Ocean Beach Restaurant and Bar scene. Appreciated. Great apps. Nice lunch and dinner menu. Couldn't be more central location, directly across from the ferry basin. Chow down and have a cocktail as you watch the ferries come and go. THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER FERRY!“

“One of the best, if not the best restaurant in Bay Shore, period! The food is fabulous and the portions are tremendous. Try it for yourself and I bet you'll agree. Order the pork chop and see if you can finish it!“
