50 Best Bars near Oyster Bay

“Great new family restaurant with fantastic vibes. Televisions everywhere. Great bar. Staff and owners create a family environment. We have been there twice in 1 week and they remembered us when we walked in the door the 2nd time. Rueben spring rolls were a must both trips as was the shepard's pie. Meals are huge! Prices are great.“

“they should actually let handicapped patrons park in their designated spots instead of telling them to park in a different lot, and force them into their golf cart. Staff & security is rude. Will ABSOLUTELY 💯 % NOT BE BACK“

“Had such a fun time at NY Axe Throwing Range in Huntington for a friend’s birthday! Coach Damien was awesome and helped get our group set up, showed us what to do, and kept everything running smoothly. We had our own private lane and got to play different games on the digitally projected targets, which made it way more fun than just throwing at a bullseye.

Such a great group activity if you’re looking to do something different! They also offer archery and other activities at select locations, plus food and drinks at some locations. Definitely recommend for birthdays, celebrations, or just a fun night out with friends!“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“Excellent coffee shop on Long Island, come for the caffeine and stay for the community. We stopped by my mom’s favorite coffee shop mid-afternoon, because the family was trying to kill me with caffeine deprivation. The oat milk latte was carefully made and smooth and easy to drink. The interior is great, for a brief moment in time you are anywhere in the World with roll up garage doors, fooseball and a clean setting for evening entertainment. I’ll be back next time I’m visiting!“

“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!“

“a creative atmosphere that transports you back in time! Dozens of specialty themed Cocktails with amazing bartenders, live music, fun and creative events, celebrity performances and appearances, and more!“

“This place may be small in square footage, but it's overflowing with charm. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and beautifully designed—it's the kind of restaurant that makes you want to linger over one more drink.
I've been here several times, and the lamb is absolutely outstanding. My only two requests? A slightly larger menu (because I want even more excuses to come back) and martini glasses that are a little more generous. A cocktail this good deserves a little extra real estate.
Those minor wishes aside, this spot is a gem. Great food, great ambiance, and one of those places you'll happily return to again and again.“

“You'd have to go to New Orleans to replicate this vibe!!!“

“My husband and I ate there tonight. Whenever we go, the food is always spot on delicious. The beef stew and chicken pot pie were comforting and filling! Thank you Rob for all the love you put into your meals!“

“Always the best service and the Burgers are always our first choice. Great time with live music and a terrific meal“

“Me my daughter and my granddaughter went there for Sunday Brunch. Billy was our server. He was great, funny, and very efficient. The food was so good that I could not stop eating. Everything was delicious! We were so happy that Kallie came to the table. The atmosphere is sort of rustic. This is a MUST TRY restaurant . You will not be disappointed.“

Food was delicious, TVs for those wanting to watch the games, private bathroom, space for little kids to roam around- would definitely book here again!“

“To Kayla, the Bartender

Behind the bar where laughter flows,
Kayla shines, and everyone knows.
With steady hands and a welcoming smile,
She makes every visit worthwhile.

She remembers faces, names, and drinks,
Always one step ahead, quicker than you think.
Mixing more than cocktails in every glass,
She pours kindness that always lasts.

No matter how busy the evening may be,
She treats every guest like VIP.
Turning ordinary nights into memories to keep,
Creating moments that run more than skin deep.

So here’s to Kayla, one of a kind,
With talent, heart, and a generous mind.
May every toast be raised in her name,
Because every bar is better with Kayla’s flame.“

“5 Stars – A Bathroom So Nice I Almost Moved In

I can’t speak for the drinks, the service, or the music—because the second I stepped into the bathroom, I knew I’d found my sanctuary.

We’re talking immaculate tile work. The kind of lighting that makes you reconsider your entire skincare routine. Soap that smelled like a lavender field kissed by angels. A full-length mirror. A working lock. Paper towels and a Dyson hand dryer. Someone even folded the toilet paper like a hotel.

I went in to pee. I came out reborn.

If you’re in the neighborhood and nature calls—skip your own house and just go here. Truly Detroit’s best kept secret.“

“Hubby and I went there last night for first time. Great experience, amazing food and nice crowd. This is going to be our new go to spot on fridays.“

“Dara rocks! Great place to hang out with friends ,karaoke and great bands.“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“Excelente comida , riquísimos cócteles 🍸 y la atención del personal excepcional !!“

“Plain old fun , good people, great time“

“Great wings. Cold beer. Friendly service.“

“The food was incredible. Everyone enjoyed their meal.“

“We had dinner last night. One of the girls I was with drove past this place a couple of times so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is by the water. It seems like you’re going through a neighborhood and then an industrial area. With lots of parking. What’s inside is really nice a large room not too noisy with television so you can keep an eye on sports if you want. Out the back was views of the marina and water. One of my friends needed the bathroom and was appreciative of how well it was designed and how clean it was. Our server, Kaiser, was amazing. He appeared when we needed him and allowed us to catch up. He had some good suggestions to try for drinks and dinner. And those did not disappoint. My friends ordered cocktails and they looked amazing and tasted even better according to them. They started with some appetizers. We had the zucchini chips done very well. The chip held up to being dumped in either a tomato sauce or a tzatziki sauce both of which had good flavor. The chip was still crispy light. We also ordered the octopus. It was nice to get to tentacle so we can share it. A good flavor loved the chard lemon on the side. But the start of this dish was definitely the potato salad because it was unexpected. My other girlfriend got a salad and said it was absolutely amazing. She was grateful that the portion was so large. She was able to bring it home as a lunch for tomorrow. We decided to order three dishes and Share we got the chicken special which had artichoke tomato and mozzarella on top the short ribs and then the Sole almondine. The chicken was nicely seasoned a good flavor, and the side was very good. The sauce was not too salty and very flavorful. The short roofs fell off the bone and the mashed potatoes are the way I like it a little chunky, but the gravy was very good. Green beans were except really good. The fillet of soul was covered with almonds on top, which was a very nice add of flavor and texture it had good flavor and not salt. The sides were very good also. After chatting for a while, we decided to order dessert. The Dubai chocolate order was amazing. Really good flavor not too sweet well balanced. A tuxedo cake was everything you wished we could eat when you want something chocolate. The layers of mousse mixed with the ganache was very good. Her homemade whipped cream was a nice add to cut the sweetness. So the restaurant seemed pretty busy we did not feel rushed. We definitely felt taken care of. And thoroughly enjoyed catching up with friends. Appreciated at Kaiser was able to enter with us too. Felt the pricing was there for what we ordered. They serve sizes were a good portion size and well balanced. If you know me, you know, I’m a water snob and the water was very good. I liked that they had a cute bottle to keep on the table so that you could have the water when you needed it not when the server came over to pour. I only downside would’ve been a diet soda tasted more seltzer than syrup, but it was OK. Lots more to try on the menu. Can’t wait to go back and try it.“

They had several safety measures in place that made everyone feel comfortable in their establishment. The staff work with me with our constant changes and were very helpful throughout the whole process. My daughter and her friends enjoyed the party we would recommend it to friends and family.“

“Friendly, low key little neighborhood spot. Came here to watch a world cup game and have a Guinness. Not super busy but everyone seemed very nice and accommodating. Great location and near by a lot of other cool spots. Will come back again. Cash only!“
