50 Best Cocktail Bars near South Hempstead

“Had a great meal. And loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!!“

“We went to Harvest House before a show and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, and even though we sat at the bar it felt like we were part of the whole room. By the time we finished, the place was buzzing in the best way.

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating when we arrived a little behind schedule, and made sure we could still enjoy everything without feeling rushed.

We ordered from both the specials and the main menu and enjoyed some excellent cocktails. Every dish felt fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. Harvest House perfectly captures that farm-to-tavern feel — warm, welcoming, and delicious. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The Polo Lounge is such a great place! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and another couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary! The food was delicious! The portions are appropriate so you're not totally full before your main course even comes. The atmosphere is a fun. There's a lounge singer and couples dancing. It was lovely to watch and we were sitting in our booth. There was a wedding going on, but it did not bother the restaurant at all. We will be back every year for our anniversary after bring married at Westbury Manor. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere will keep us coming back!“

“The staff and service is always extremely welcoming and attentive. We came in for brunch to celebrate my mother's 74th birthday and had a wonderful afternoon. Our server, David, did a great job taking care of us and the manager, Blake, made sure we had everything we needed. The food is always great and it's always fun to see the new additions to the menu and cocktail list. Will be back!“

“amazing food and amazing owners“

“My experience with Prestige Palace Lounge was amazing!! I booked this venue to celebrate my 40th birthday and I am very pleased with my decision! Mark, the owner along with Winston was extremely helpful from beginning to end of the planning process. Mark never failed to respond to every concern and request I've made. He was very, professional, respectful and accommodating to my every needs. He recommended a good cook for my party , allowed me to bring my own cook and offered free bottles wine on the house! I can't thank him enough! I am very grateful for the service he provided.

He also allowed excessive amount of time for decoration set up and was extremely accommodating. The venue was beautiful and full of life with disco lighting and elegant ambiance. My guest were all pleased and had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking you next event with Prestige palace lounge!“

“Fist time here and I found all aspects... Very Good Food, very pleasant setting and very entertaining, I love it, we will be back🇪🇨🥰👍“

“I love to travel, and Revel restaurant in Garden City, NY, is truly one of the best restaurants I have been to. The managerial staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Melissa, our server, explained everything so well, and she took her time with us. The wait staff worked with her seamlessly so that everything came out on time, and our water glasses were always full. The cuisine offered so many different choices, even for vegetarians and vegans. The vegetarian dishes I tried were a myriad of flavors, and it was so nice to experience new creations that I have never had at any other restaurant. Revel’s decor and lighting made us feel like we were somewhere very special but also comfortable. If I lived near this restaurant, I would visit frequently. We loved our experience.“

“This the 2nd time I was here and they do not disappoint. The 1st pic was the pork soup, the 2nd pic which is fron my 1st visit was the wonton soup which is my favorite. The pork one is good, but the soup tastes like gravy it was a bit much for me. And the 3rd pic is the chips very light I luv love them. Oh, and I had a glass of mohito“

“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“The food was fresh and delicious ! The menu items were unique! The atmosphere was spacious and comfortable. The service was friendly and on point ! The staff seemed to be enthusiastic to serve us and have us try new things, took the time to explain our options and made confident recommendations. It was more than a great meal but an overall enjoyable experience I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back with friends and family 😊“

“Went in for breakfast. Our server was decent. Walked away as I was finishing telling him my order, which came out ICE COLD & WRONG!!!! I requested a ham, COOKED/SAUTÉED ONION & American cheese omelet, fries and RYE toast with crispy bacon. My omelet was well done, the onions RAW, fries were ice cold my bacon was not cooked and not there had to tell the runner, and my toast was marble. All this for OVER &50.00!!! The server came by, we were basically finished. Asked how everything was. How would he or the runner know our order. Neither one looked at the order. NEVER AGAIN!!!“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“Yes, there are gluten free items here that are marked on the menu HOWEVER I thankfully had a waitress that basically said that their is airborne flour everywhere and that cross contamination is almost guaranteed for anything baked in the oven with the pizza (for example their baked GF chicken Parm dish). I was so appreciative how clear she was, saying that the gluten free pasta is boiled separately though they still can't guarantee it is celiac-safe. I risked it and got a pasta dish and fortunately didn't get sick. I hope they can find a way to make truly Celiac safe gluten free foods because their GF pasta was phenomenal!“

“5 Stars-Tha Café

Tha Café is a whole vibe. The moment you walk in, it just feels good—comfortable, stylish, and full of positive energy. Whether you’re coming to chill, eat, or catch a vibe, this place sets the tone right every time. It’s got that real West Indian flavor, both in the food and the atmosphere.

The owner is cool and welcoming, makes you feel like you're part of the fam. The bartenders are fast, friendly, and on point—no long waits, no bad attitudes, just good people doing what they do best.

And the food? Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Seasoned to perfection, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell it’s made with love. This ain’t no basic menu—every bite delivers. It’s that kind of food you think about the next day.

Tuesdays between 4 PM and 2 AM—that’s when the spot really comes alive. Good music, good people, good energy. And weekends? Always lit. If you know, you know.

Tha Café is definitely a go-to. Comfortable, attractive, welcoming… everything a great restaurant/lounge should be. If you’re in the area and haven’t pulled up yet, you’re missing out.

Managing a party of 14 is no easy task - and Abdul did it with a consistent smile, grace and efficiency. He made our experience amazing.
