Talk of the Town Tavern

There is no kitchen at this bar; but the pizza is good from toaster oven. Come in, have a cold one and annoy a game of shuffleboard.

Truly a place where "everyone knows your name"! Talk of the Town is my go-to place to get a drink in Staten Island.

We called to ask when last call would be placed. They informed us a quarter to 4am... at 338am, after we ordered drinks at 330am, they told us to chug our drinks and to get out, closing time is 4am. I told them we called and bartender told us he was the one answered the phone and said most people don't show up when they call, so they kick everyone out earlier so they can go home. This is disgusting, they wouldn't offer to refund us for the drunks they just poured and informed us to leave without drinking. TACKY, THEIFS, CROOKS. Drug bar... bouncer was a skinny coke head trying to intimidate us to leave at 338am... when he weighs 110 pounds soaking wet. He even admitted it's none of our business what he does in the bathroom! Stay away before they get raided!

Very good atmosphere

Better than Flanagan's, better than the Swiss.

I like the vices ... my favorite bar in great kills even if they don't have dirty martini ?

This place is a solid bar, I came here on a friday night for a little nite cap around midnight and overall I had a decent time. The bar is a no frills place with three sports tvs, a juke box, at least 15 seats by the bar and some other chairs around the rest of the place. There is also shuffle board and two darts with a scoreboard which is fun. They have a great beer menu from Blue Moon to Angry Orchard, Corona, White Claw, High noon, etc. for only 5 bucks [they have at least 8 beers on tap for only $5 too]. I also saw a lot of whiskey and vodka options if you wanted to do shots or mixed drink [$7 for a shot]. The problem is the shot glasses are so small, it doesn't resemble an ounce and a half which is standard size in other bars, I felt like the plastic cup they gave me reminded me of cough medicine sizes. The bartender was super nice and friendly, he talks with most patrons and makes sure the place doesn't get too rowdy. However my fiancé felt like he was fishing for tips when he would give you a 5 dollar bill back as change. When I came there was a girls birthday with her friends and she was able to put out sandwiches and catered food of her own. I kinda felt guilty invading her space but it was nice to see that the bar lets you do your own thing. The crowd seemed fairly mixed crowd when I came, from college frat boys to young girls in their 20's or groups of men in their 30s and 40s. I did feel it was a little crowded but that seemed more based on cliques then the space itself. In terms of food, they do sell chips nuts and a tombstone pizza but there isn't much space to eat unless you sit at the actual bar. I think if this place rearranged the furniture and had an outdoor backyard they could successfully have more dining. I would definitely come back here for another night cap or to watch a sports game.

Great little establishment. Great employees.

Had an awesome time playing shuffleboard! Great people and great Bartender!
