My favorite bar in Rockaway Park, just off the boardwalk. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. This…read morelegendary bar was recently renovated with an upstairs hotel, but it did not ruin its old fashioned charm. This bar mostly consists of an older crowd (60s and 70s). Bartender was very friendly with fast service. I think its cash only (didnt see anyone paying with credit cards). I sat at the end of the bar next to the wide open windows and it was very pleasant enjoying a beer while feeling the nice cool breeze from outside. They also have a backyard patio. Although the jukebox appeared to be broken, bsckground music was mainly 60s doo wop. Beer prices were about $6 a pint which I would not call cheap, but not too expensive either. No food is served here and I am not sure if they allow outside food either. I should have asked.

For what you pay and the fact that you're pouring your own beer, I expected either more variety or more standout options on tap. That said, the food was definitely the highlight. Everything we ordered was solid and came out tasting fresh. The space itself is nice, and the vibe is relaxed, but overall the experience didn't fully match the cost. Not a bad spot, just not quite the value I was hoping for.

We spotted this place, checked Yelp, saw Shepherd's Pie on the menu, and had to stop in--so glad we did! Of course, the Shepherd's Pie was on point! We also ordered the mozzarella sticks (yum!) and the baked clams (yum yum!). Our kid had the shrimp scampi and my husband ordered the shrimp parm. Everything was absolutely delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices. Service was wonderful--our waitress was a lovely Irish lady who made us feel right at home. We even had a nice chat with Cathy, the owner. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend this restaurant!

"The real Rockaways"…read more I come here every now and then after hitting jacob Riis and the boardwalk, since it is on the way to the train. This is a very laid back neighborhood bar with an older crowd where everyone knows each other. Upon entering you may get some stares (I do not mind awkwardness too much) but if you stay for a couple of drink the "locals" will warm up to you. A couple even bought me a birthday shot. The wife of the couple also introduced me to other regulars at the bar. Mike, the bartender, is a very extreme character, who (for some reason) thought I was there the previous week and I told him that I was a photographer. Who knows where he go that from but it was funny, nonetheless. The bar is pretty standard and divey. There is a pool table, a jukebox and a patio in the back where one can smoke. The drinks are really cheap and the bar has an option of pints or 10 oz of draft beer. So, I highly recommend to check this place out if you actually want to see and meet the real folks of the Rockaways.
