Good beer. Not so great food. The burger was dry and the Roasted Cauliflower Salad was saucy? It was busy and hard to eat at the bar, too many people over your shoulders ordering. Staff and bartender was very nice. Big place!

This is what a Brew Pub should. I can't wait to return.

As a along time supporter of the river ave brewery, it was of course a disappointment to me that the brewery had been sold. Went a few times in the early days of the, new, improved, blue point brewing company, but the vibe was lost. I was invited there recently by friends, and I must say things have changed. The beer selection is acceptable, but when did a brewery become THE place to go to celebrate a 2 year olds birthday? Is chuck e cheese closed? Or is it just good old bad parenting? Cmon mom and dad, let’s be adults and take our children to a more appropriate place OK? The adults want to drink OK? I’m only saying this because the walk from the bar to the men’s room involves getting thru the throng of kids that are in the aisle playing games, and I got more than 1 look that said, hey, watch where you’re going!! There are many other breweries out there now, that still have that brewery vibe, nothing fancy, just really good beer, and dogs. The way it should be.

Charged me 25 dollars for one beer. Total rip off . Never coming to this place . What place charges 25 for a can of beer. This place will rip you off. Don’t go

No information on your front door at entrance. It just refers you to your website. Your website is horrible. All of the information listed is outdated. No new event information.

Lots of beer choices, spacious, indoor and outdoor space and the food is decent. All the beers are great, the wings too, stay away from the Mac and Cheese unfortunately. Overall a great time, I highly recommend.

I've been going to Bluepoint for over twenty years. The tipping point for writing this review was watching one of their beertenders exit the bathroom without washing his hands. How you can walk past a patron in the restroom who is washing their hands and walk straight out, grab the door handle and go right back to serving customers is crazy. They even have something to open the door with your foot. Regardless you're going back to serving customers. I know exactly who the gentleman is and he's a really nice guy but that's completely unacceptable. Leaving his name out because perhaps it's time for a refresher course in what's unsanitary in a food and drink establishment. Food is not very good even when compared with other breweries on the island. Chicken, bacon, ranch quesadilla was my go to. Beer may not be as great as River Avenue days but that's definitely not something I'd call out as bad especially with so many selections. I do question how often the lines are cleaned because after drinking there you may not feel your best. This is something that I've heard enough where I can't chalk it up to being a fluke occurrence. I give Mark and Pete a lot of credit for creating and building this brewery to the level that it got to and do not fault them at all for selling, but the potential it had in growth is lost. I think it just fell into the wrong hands when it sold. I've been a patron for over twenty years. If after reading all of this, you still feel like it's worth a visit, Tuesday-Thursday most pints are at a reduced price. Otherwise you're going to pay what most micro brew pints are going for these days. I'm not sure if they still qualify as a micro but there are so many small micro and nano's available that are great and would truly appreciate your business. At this point you're paying what you would at any bar that carries Bluepoint. This was never the case in their much smaller location with far less capital. They say the reason is that the local bars complained that Bluepoint was charging less than them so it wouldn't pay for the restaurants nearby to carry it. Obviously as a big business now, they went for more money over a local community business model.
Friendly vibe, good food, great beer. Awesome staff.

I stopped my the Islip airport location. The winter warmer hit the spot on this cold rainy day before my flight.

Visiting a friend in a nearby town and we decided to come here for lunch. Spacious brewery with a nice sized menu and non-beer drink options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Ids are checked at the door and there's a ton of merch items at the door as well. Shirts, stickers, and you can even take a sic pack to go. The space is dog friendly, but as with any public dog friendly space, not everyone's pups have the same training so just be mindful of your dog interacting with others. We ordered the burger, chicken poppers, thai chili cauliflower, and salmon bites. All were very good and tasted fresh. For drinks we got the mango hard tea, blueberry ale, and my friend got a bunch of 5oz pours. They don't have set flights but you can do 5oz pours of any of their beers which is cool to be able to customize and taste what you want! The mango hard tea definitely tasted more like a hard seltzer but it was still nice. There's also various games to play like fooseball and shuffleboard on the floor. We came for lunch and there was a live band starting in the evening as we were leaving. Based off of the flyers all around, they seems to have lots of events as well. Definitely would come back if I'm in the area.

We wished we lived closer. Great place, fun atmosphere, bar and high tops on one side, open tables and bandstand on the other. All the food was very good. Too many good beers to mention, 4ppl brown ale and the toasted lager were both excellent.
