What a scam venue!!! First: we emailed the venue three weeks ahead because we have a special needs adult coming with us and we need to find out if general admission had seating(which he absolutely needed) the venu ignored our calls and emails. Second, the ladies scanning tickets were apologizing and telling us to get everyone on line FAST bc they oversold tickets and lost control of the sales. We were told only 50 people were being let in bc they let 250 Into this tiny space. Once we get inside, security saw our general admission ticket and told us we should leave because they are at capacity and we will not be capable of seeing the show. (Mind you we arrived an hour before the show was starting and had early admission). Stay far far away!!!! read more

Great spot to listen to some great live music , they even have a food truck looking area we're if you get the munchies, you can grab some food! Plenty of room to dance and an area you can reserve a table to sit and enjoy the evening! read more

Great venue . Intimate venue with a big time feel . Great lights , not a bad spot in the house . Great room . Great staff and lots of space . read more

Great place to see live music. We paid extra for the VIP table seats on the side and it couldn't have been better. Super close to the stage, waitress service and the drinks were spot on. I'll definitely be back to check out their outdoor music space as well. read more

Nice music venue! My boyfriend and I came here recently to listen and see some music/concert. It was very packed! I highly recommend getting VIP so you can have a table and be all scrunched up with everyone else. Drinks were good, and they have a nice variety. There's also food available. I can't speak of the food as we did not have any. Bartenders were friendly. There's also an outdoor patio to get some fresh air or to take a smoke break. read more

Years later and now thet have an outdoor space; still pretty lame and the security or whatever they call themselves think they're important or cool or something. It's the epitome of small town ego and uselessness wrapped up in an okay music venue with nothing else going for it. I could go on, but you get the idea without the explanation. It's places and attitudes like this that make me wanna stay in Manhattan forever and not come back to such a lame little Long Island life. read more

Solid venue but when it gets packed, ITS PACKED! service could be a bit better as they were definitely short staffed last night and it took over 20 minutes for drinks. It is a pricy venue and they have you keep a card on file. Other than that, I've seen amazing cover bands here. I can't speak on the food but the drinks, while pricy are delicious! YYNot was incredible! read more

Plenty of free parking in the lot behind the building. You can see the artists coming in and out with their gear from the lot. First time here and purchased VIP tickets to see the Killer Dwarfs 40th anniversary tour. $27 per very reasonable, but not quite sure just what we paid for. Everyone inside had access to everywhere except one back seating area that opens up when the capacity is larger. Lesson learned. Just go GA. The security guy working the door was super cool and very informative. Sadly, the girls checking us in was miserable and rude, unable to answer anything about the space. Sound was very good. Loud too. A great space out back to sit and they were selling empanadas that were quite good (Buffalo chicken). Safe area and lots going on around town. Keep in mind, most places to eat close by 9 on Sundays. I'd gladly catch another show here when another act of interest comes to my attention. read more

89 North Music Venue - Russ Dwarf - Music Venues Near Me - Patchogue, New York

See all

Not all establishments have clever names. Sometimes all you need is a street and a number (A.K.A. address). So when you wonder where 89 North got theirs from, well, you can figure it out pretty quick. Move beyond that, and you'll find a nice little music hall worthy of checking out. This past Saturday, a few buddies and I closed out our night with a little cover band music, compliments of 89 North. Location-wise (if you're directionally challenged), it's right off Main St. in Patchogue and makes for easy access after a meal in said town. Think of it like going to the Paramount in Huntington...well, it's not as good as that. But don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my night at 89N as it's smaller than the Paramount and offers a more intimate concert experience. Tables and high tops give you access to seating and there's enough standing room to get up close and personal with the live tunes. Need a drink? Well of course there's a bar, decent in length and respectable in beer selection (Harpoon Winter Warmer, thanks). There's also a "food bar" complete with fried options that'll help kick any tiny munchie you might have during the show. We were pleasantly stuffed from dinner so maybe next time on that. Musically, the audio was great and you can see the stage from almost anywhere in the place. As for the show itself, although some of the bands were a little...meh (I'm talking to you, New Divide!), for the price ($11), it was totally worth it. Overall, 89 North is a nice venue to spend a night at, especially if you just like to listen to music. You might not see any big time acts pass through 89's doors, but that shouldn't stop you from visiting. Just remember the name, and you'll easily find yourself here. read more

It's nice a live music venue still existing. Saw Prong there. Great show. Played there as well. Great that way too! read more

I hate giving this place a bad review because the music is great but the management and security are not and make it a dangerous place to be. i went tonight with a few girl friends and there was a man who was antagonizing us. After approaching security and the managers, they assured us they'd take care of it, only to allow him to stay. We tried to continue the conversations with them to let them know the extent of uncomfortability and threat that he put on us and they refused to listen telling us to "not tell them how to do their job". Such a disappointing and honestly scary experience. read more

Great venue for a concert. But at the end of the night after spending 5 hours and lots of drinks I adk for water and handed a bottle and td 4 dollars! Really some nerve! read more

Every time I come and check out a live reggae extravaganza, I'm going to do it here. What a terrific venue for live music. Plenty of room to sit, dance, hang and drink, or just stretch out and be yourself. This 3-band event rocked, even on an early Sunday night. Roots Foundation is the best of the three bands, but they were all good. And just $10 gets you in for the whole ting! read more

Awesome local venue! Its located a few blocks from Main Street Patchogue, which allowed for fairly easy parking, but was also close enough so you could see Main Street from the front. The venue itself was relatively small but ended up being the perfect size for an intimate show. I'm not sure of most of the shows that happen here, but mine was 21+, so everyone was ID'd at the door by security, and the staff was there to collect the money for the show, which was incredibly reasonably priced. The drinks are also fairly priced, I got a rum and coke for $9, which I'd consider fair for this kind of venue, some concert venues can really rip you off. The bartenders moved incredibly quick and kept the "line" moving. The sound for the show was clear, I saw the Warped Tour cover band here, and even those songs were clear, albeit loud. They do offer earplugs for a small charge if that is something you'd be interested in. There are also seats and tables in the back and they offer a couple of appetizer-y things if you're hungry. The types of shows the offer here seem to be hit or miss for me, but if you find a show you might enjoy that runs through here, it is a nice, comfortable venue to watch a show, but definitely don't expect to hear anything the people around you say, as it can run kind of loud. read more

So, this was my first time and I was with some friends celebrating one of their birthdays. Let me tell you about my arrival. I have a friend who works here and they told me that they could put me on a list to get in. When I went to door to tell the security my name and the list I was on, he was off the bat disgustingly rude, not helpful and had a MAJOR ATTITUDE PROBLEM. When I told him that my friend who works here told me about this list he replied " You're not on the owners list". He then shrugged his shoulders gave me a nasty stare as if I wouldn't give him attitude back. Eventually my friend settled the issue and overall we had a blast. Drinks were good and music was great! I'm not sure if I'd go again just because of that awful start and the drinks are pretty pricey. To the security guard JOHN maybe you should learn some manners. And to the owner you might want to reevaluate your staff. ‍ read more

Went here yesterday for an emo show, bought one high noon. The bartender did not give a receipt and this morning I wake up to a total of 90$ worth of charges to my card! Scammers! read more

This palce is awful. Went to see an emo show (warped tour band.) We got kicked out for bumping in to some one. What happened to punk? Go somewhere else. Hopefully they are playing at mulchays soon. read more

Place is awesome!!!! Music was great, it was like going back in time to the great rock club days of the 80's, prices were good, staff was great, it was a fun , safe environment!!! Highly recommend it!!! read more

Great place. Nice people. The sounds guy knows what he is doing! The sound is always on point! Great location too! Close to so many places to eat and hang out. Sundays are always the best days to come! 10 am Best music ever Love coming here and spending time with friends! read more

Just saw a charge on my debit card of $14 for a Jack Honey 'neat' I had this past Saturday (which I forgot to settle the night of, who never did that before)? But, and along with that... as I initial walked up to place, the security was chocking a rowdy male patron, puddles of spilled 'spirits' all over floors throughout the night, and a tribute band who's older singer looked like he was going to 'keel over'?... Come on, guys... Pick it up over there! Literally. lol. read more

What a cool place to go and hang and Listen to the music. I am here today performing with The Stanton Anderson Band for a benefit for Angela's House. Really cool place read more

89 North is one of the better indoor music venues on Long Island. They have all the good bands and the sound there is the best. I always enjoy myself there. read more

The food is edible. Don't come for the food. The live music is amazing. We came to see Mambo Loco and Selena. Mambo Loco was truly authentic and old school. The sound was great. No issues. Had the crowd completely entertained. People were dancing and having a great time. The tribute to Selena was just ok. I had very high expectations and they definitely were not met. Sound was great as well as the entertainment but songs being sung were not top hits. Service was great and attentive. Overall good time read more

Great place! Definitely be back. The other remarks on review I don't believe it. This place is fun had great time.

Like the idea of a music hall/bar. The layout is perfect. One half you got the stage, a big space for people, and a raised floor in the back with tables. The other half you've got probably the longest bar I have ever seen at one of these joints. Clean, new, good layout, live music. Why only a 3? Cover band. Endless amounts of cover bands. I understand this is Patchogue, not exactly an original music hotbed. And the people around here love to drink and sing along to songs they know. Who doesn't like that? Sure it's mindless fun, but at the same time I would rather see some interesting music. Not see a bunch of washed up late 30s early 40s guys still think they are going places singing "Evenflow". Maybe it's just me. read more

No service yet, sitting in reserved seating for Billy Joel/Elton cover bands. So far...not impressed.

Only good things to report about 89 North. My husband's band has played here three times so far. It's clean, the staff are nice, especially for their line of work, which is mostly managing disorderly intoxicates. The bathrooms are also clean, wow! This can't be a Long Island club, right? The drinks are what you would expect. $6 for draft in a plastic cup. They have pizza slices available if you really need to eat something now and can't or won't leave. Outdoor smoking & drinking area is nice in the summer time. If there is a band playing you want to see, definitely check out 89 North. read more

Last night was my first time to this place and I have to say that I really dug it. There was plenty of room to shakedown to the music, great beers on tap and very friendly staff. It's better to listen to the music by the stage as opposed to the bar, where I thought the sound was a bit muffled. Good crowd, although I was there to see a Grateful Dead cover band, so you get a colorful cast of characters. After 1 am some of the younger crowd started coming in and I don't think they knew what they were getting themselves in to. Plus, they looked like troublemakers so I was outta there. One thing that kind of grinded my gears was that the bartenders didn't buy back. If a customer is putting 8 back, I'd think the place would buy at least 2 of those. Drinking customer+a couple of buy backs=more tips. I think that's math we could all understand. read more

No reply regarding refund for postponed concert. Left a message via phone and also through their "contact us" button on their website a month later (the day of the rescheduled concert I couldn't attend). No response, no refund. They're happy to take your money, but you'll never hear from them again when there's a problem. read more

Was here a few months back to check out a friends band. It was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. There was plenty of seating. Venue & bathrooms were very clean. Older more mature crowd the night we were there but I'm sure that varies depending on the band & their following. Looking forward to coming back to check out another band soon. read more

I've gone here a few times now. Its a one of a kind place in Suffolk county. The music has been different and very entertaining each time. Its very spacious and can accommodate a large crowd without feeling "too" crowded. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive. Its not overpriced like many other places. Its definitely a great night out. I would recommend it to everyone as a place to go. read more

Last night's Mad Hatter reunion with Vixen, Randy Jackson,White Fire and Swift Kick confirmed that 89 North is Suffolk County's only true rock music venue left. Spacious, clean and great staff, you gotta catch a show at 89 North read more

The cover to get in was a bit pricey....in addition to some of the drinks I got which were mostly filled with ice.

Really great new venue! They feature some of the best local (and well known) music! Reminds me of a much better version of the now defunct crazy donkey. It is a large space, and the acoustics are great! I also love that I run into friends whenever I go there. Not only do they feature great music, but great art as well. They are currently featuring the works of well known LI master artist, Michael Krazowitzs. Beer is reasonably priced as well. In fact, i would say the whole venue is kind of a steal! You won't be disappointed! read more

Great sound in this place. There is a cover charge on some nights, but there are good beer specials. There are a wide range of cover bands playing here from Green Day to reggae. Most of the bands are skilled, not like the other bars in Patchogue that hire garage band novices. Pizza available on Friday nights for $3 and an outside area to hang out with drinks and whatever else you please. read more

I went there on Halloween night and they had a good line up of a variety of music for a weekday. One local band that played, VIA, was incredible, original music, their sound is unlike anything I've heard and actually gave me goosebumps. I just wish they had a later time slot so more of my friends got to hear them. So this place is really good for discovering new music which is a lost art with so many cover bands these days. the sound quality is great with the acoustics. The only downsides I encountered were a lack of available bartenders and no food. The outside area on the side was a nice way to sneak out for a smoke while not alienating my nonsmoking friends and not having to deal with coming in and out the front. The seasonal cider they have. Is the best I've had anywhere and the bathrooms were gorgeous. read more

Place was dope, bands were dope, staff was dope... only reason I give it a 1 is because the owner came to my circle of friends. We were a huge group like 14 people sitting outside back tables, and I had my water bottle the entire day because I walk a lot and I have to stay hydrated. I had it in my backpack ($30 my own personal bottle) because it's hot during the day, I had like barely a sip in it. I did take it out to drink water from it. Suddenly, This old man came directly at me grabbing my bottle from a table over because I let my brother drink some of my water, I even forgot about my water bottle on the table. Actually, the bottle wasn't even in front of me, and he said "what's inside this bottle?" Pointing at me with it like he's gonna hit me or something, I said "water" mind you WATER IS FREE SPECIALLY AT BARS. I also had been buying all my drinks at the bar too! Next to me there was a kid (from he same group) smoking weed, he asked the owner while he was scolding me for no reason if it's okay that they smoke weed and he said "that's fine" then he grabbed my bottle and threw it in the garbage. Why did that old man come directly at me, when my other friend sitting on my left was dressed exactly the same way I was dressed, and the bottle of water wasn't even in front of my seat... Homophobe. He came directly at me, absolutely no reason to come at me. He was trying to start problems. Also, earlier when my brothers band was playing, at the bar a guy dropped his drink all over the counter, there was only 1 bartender girl, whom I helped clean the counter CAUSE I SAW SHE WAS SUPER BUSY and the counter was soaked. Yet, the owner wasn't able to acknowledge that? And wants to start problems, and growing my personal item in the garbage which was empty btw. Screw that homophobic son of a bitch. Hope you read this!! Guess what... I do want to point out that the garbage which the owner threw my bottle in was empty, and my friend got the bottle in like half a second after the owner left. Ummm haha! Stuck up owner. Next time I see you, i will show NO respect. You're not worthy! You're not allowed to touch people's personal items unless you're security, and have a legit reason. Don't mess with me old man. At the end of the day it is a great place, and really nice staff. NOT THE OWNER. read more
