As someone that frequents here on the weekends I must say the female bartender by the name of Linda I believe ? Yes , is incredible rude to female customers . Like stated previously I frequent this place so it simply isn’t one Incident she is incredibly rude and seems to refuse to hand female customers their shots she simply pours them and walks away without acknowledgement . Which is quite difficult to reach in a packed bar .Her poor attitude has made me totally turned off from her and I don’t believe she should work the busier nights due to her lack of professionalism towards female customers she is scaring away your money big time since we have to wait for someone like Edison or Patrick for help in place of her .
Power Points
I mean the dress code is a ridiculous, outdated concept of trying to keep people out of this bar- It’s a genuinely good atmosphere as far as bars go, but to not be let in because you have a red undershirt underneath a sweatshirt, or to have the shoes you’re wearing taken into account whatsoever? That’s more than a bit pretentious. It’s not doing anything for the safety, culture or atmosphere of the bar. I would love this place if not for that rule, and no matter what they say (especially in response to other reviews) I don’t believe any other bar in Patchogue has a dress code to this extreme. I saw a lot of people get harrassed for it trying to enter. I’ve never had this with another bar on Long Island and it bothers me, I’m sorry to say as long as the dress code is in place I won’t be going again.

Had a wonderful first time experience here brought some family with me who are visiting from Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 . The atmosphere was amazing, the food was scrumptious, the staff was pleasant & welcoming . The live artist played a lot of throwback hits that had my entire party singing along, it such was such a nostalgic moment. We all clapped when he finished his set . I’ll absolutely be returning & I’ll recommend to anyone. Amazing job guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I came here on a rainy and chilly Friday night and the place was fairly empty. I took a seat at the bar and ordered their "The Times" burger which came out with a meaty patty and a number of toppings. The fries were really crisp. The burger was quite good. Overall good food.

We went here for my sister's wedding reception and it was awesome! We had the top loft to ourselves. Very clean place! The food was awesome! We had the mushrooms and the buffalo bits! The bartenders and staff were also super nice!
*update* the reply you read below is absolute b.s. it's a NO HAT rule, not a no team hat rule. They don't allow ANY hats and it's a stereotype. Their b.s. sports reason is an absolute excuse to hide their real reason.
Here's a hint: It's a similar reason they started implementing a $5 and then $10 cover charge at Irish times many years ago when the clientele got a little too "hood" for them.
It's similar to why Dublin Deck doesn't play more than top 40 hip-hop.
The issue isn't my Adidas hat, my Mets hat, etc. If it was, on Halloween you wouldn't let people wear hats, of which I did.
Absolute bullshit excuse.
*End update*
My only complaint is that I can't wear my Mets hat during Mets playoff games after 10pm because of their stupid no hat rule. It's an unfair stereotype. I don't like being stereotyped.

They couldn't have been nicer. Let us take our time. The food was very good. I would recommend this place to anyone I know.
Dietary restrictions: One of us has food allergies and they were very happy to make the necessary changes to the meal.

My wife and I were visiting family and decided to use your restaurant was recommended as a nice place to have good food and a warm atmosphere. The recommendation was well placed. What made it special for me was while enjoying a pint of Guinness, it was given to me in a Guinness glass that had the NY Jets logo on it. Me being a Jets fan thought this was really cool and I tried researching to no avail where I could get one. I went up to the bartender and inquired about purchasing the glass I had just drank from. The bartender not only allowed me to have the pint glass free of charge but he gave me a clean one to bring home vs the one I had just drank out of. I have been a lifelong Jets fan and I grew up on Long Island until the age of 17 when I joined the Navy and spent most of my time away from Long Island for 22yrs. My wife and I will definitely be returning the next time we are back home again. I had the skirt steak with the sweet potato fries and I loved the Maple Syrup Mayo dip they used for the fries.

First time here. Food was absolutely delicious. Service was wonderful. The place was beautiful inside. We will definitely be back and hope it's exactly the same our second time around.
