Lovely spot on a lovely street. We landed here as our first location upon arriving in Greenport, and felt at ease and in good spirits right away. The solid cocktails helped! We had fun playing shuffleboard and even made some new friends around the 'board. It was a memorable spot to mix and mingle while we waited for a dinner rezzie down the street. read more

The people reviewing this place as 5 stars must be drinking and writing, because there's no way anyone sober can think this bar is THAT good. The atmosphere/decor may be worthy of a good review. The pizza? Sure, it's pretty solid. However, first and foremost this place is a bar so to me, the most important thing when reviewing a bar is the alcohol!! And they're drinks are just not good!! They are poorly made and frankly just taste sh*tty. I wanted to like it, and based on the reviews I thought I'd love it, but I couldn't drink more than 2 sips of my drink. I thought maybe it's just me, but my husband tried 2 different drinks and his may have been even worse than mine. It was disappointing to say the least. The meatballs were yummy, the pizza was good but I could've went upstairs to have that. I came here expecting some good beverages and I certainly didn't get that. read more

Must have: The Long Way Home; it's a perfect pairing with a red pie with Basil Pesto and Fresh Tomatoes. And If you've got your sweetheart and Rob Europe is playing - it's perfect night! read more

Really enjoyed stopping in here for a couple of after dinner drinks. The bar has a speakeasy vibe with a swanky cocktail list, dark atmosphere and cool acoustic music (on a Monday night) playing. Service was great. The bartender made a delicious cocktail and was very nice and attentive. read more

Had a blast at this speakeasy. Bartenders provided great service and delicious drinks - even when it is really crowded. This place is even better when there is live music. Lots of fun. read more

Evan is the ultimate bartender of the North Fork and honestly Manhattan. His hospitality and charm simply makes the experience unforgettable. Try his negroni it is amazing! read more

Great place to stop post-winery or pre-dinner. Best bartender ever (formerly from Fort Defiance in Brooklyn)! Tastes every cocktail - and they are indeed worthy! Don't be scared by the empty storefront - walk in and head downstairs for a unique speakeasy experience... read more

So delicious! We lucked out with no reservation coming in around 11 and got in but 10 minutes later every table was taken. I had the ham and pesto toast which was awesome and my husband had the crustless quiche which he loved. Pesto was homemade and our mimosas were great but a little excessively priced at $16. Overall a great experience! The food was awesome! read more

This is by far the coolest restaurant/bar in Greenpoint. Top notch service, amazing ambiance, and the food and drinks were great! They had live music the night I was there and it truly made the evening more special. By the way, their ice cream sandwich was to die for! Can't wait to return. read more

Excellent restaurant hidden away in Greenport. I love the speakeasy feel to it and the drink menu lives up to the theme perfectly. The pizza here is excellent and the portion size is perfect. It took a long time to get a seat and I wish that they had a second shuffleboard to play on but it turned out to be worth it in the end as the vibe, food, and drinks here were awesome. read more

The Northside Collins and New Haven Pizza were delicious. I would give 5 stars, but we waited an hour and a half to be seated and had been told we'd have a half hour wait. I had to knock a star off because it was kind of ridiculous. The shuffle board table helped pass the time. I would love to come back on another visit. read more

AWESOME pizza. Like ... 5/5 for sure! So crispy, such great sauce, such fresh toppings... The ricotta and meatballs rocked. The peppers and scallions with spinach pie killed it. Now, the service may have been a little sluggish but the place was somewhat overwhelmed at the time. The loud children and slightly uncomfortable seating wasn't my favorite either but that's an ambiance thing I can forgive. Not having any sweetener for my tea, however, that's unforgivable. ;-) read more

Omg so this place is amazing. If you follow me you'll know that I love antiquities and anything pertaining to it. Brix is no exception. Greenport is an amazing historical town. Brix, contrary to popular perception was not a speakeasy. It was though a stop for rumrunners to store their liquor once it passed through Claudio's. True story. If u see the pic of mine I posted of Evan being an awesome bartender you'll see the note of the little white door next to him. That was the basement door that rumrunners used once the rum got to Claudio's through boat it would go through underground tunnels to Brix. You see, Brix used to be a livery or ( astable where horses and vehicles are kept for hire and where stabling is provided). So it was the perfect place to hide the rum during Prohibition. It was then transported by train directly to NYC. There were a lot of trains and and cars and horses (because it was a livery) back in the day that always went to NYC. thereby the perfect central distribution. Haha!! Oh I also had the make your own white pizza with prociutto, clams , fried egg, and hot peppers. Omg soooooooo good. Come here! Oh I just found out they rumrunners would brig it in through a trap door behind the bar on Claudio's restaurant. (there was no dock back in the day) read more

See all

What can I say! What an absolute cool bar! You go down a flight of stairs and, that is where the magic begins. The bartenders are like mad scientists! The creations are phenomenal! If you are thinking of the movie "Cocktail" this isn't the place. The bartenders are extremely friendly and they take their craft seriously. Try the pizza as well. You won't be disappointed! Cheers!! read more

My favorite place for pizza , Nona's meatballs and Evan's drink suggestions. Get there early it fills up quickly and a great bar

We were in Greenport on a day trip from NYC. And, of course, we needed a fun spot for dinner and drinks. As Manhattanites, this cutie little spot FAR exceeded our expectations. The cocktails were divine (the Devil Takes The Hindsmouth was literally one of the best I have ever had), the atmosphere was tucked away, dim lit, intimate and lovely and the pizza was a topping oasis and delicious. And to top it all off, despite being super full and understaffed, the service was amazing and friendly. Don't hesitate if you are in town, just go here! read more

Great place for a drink on Main Street. A bit pricey but well worth the visit. Gets crowded late so be prepared for rubbing elbows.

In the mood for a cocktail this is the place to go. Amazing hand crafted cocktails that do not disappoint. A great speakeasy ambiance that is warm and inviting. Amazing service that is very attentive without feeling pressured. Also though very small tap collection has one of the best craft beer selections in Greenport. Conveniently connected to a brick oven pizza joint that serves some very good pizza with a wide range of toppings. Its a small space so don't be surprised if its very crowded but definately a must hit in Greenport for anyone. read more

Excellent food, drinks, and atmosphere. The staff recommended the caramelized onion with sausage pizza which was amazing. We ordered an additional plain pie and one with bell peppers and pepperoni, all of which did not disappoint. It's a traditional Naples style pizza, the best I've had outside of NYC. Oh, and at this spot you don't have to wait an hour to get in. This bar has amazing cocktails. It's entertaining to see these bar tenders work. With all the attention to detail, it's like watching a master chef in the kitchen. If you're lucky enough to stop in when it's not busy, be sure to ask about the origins of your drink. Not only do you get a delicious beverage, but also a brief history lesson. read more

This is my new favorite spot in Greenport! My husband and I have been dying to try Brix and Rye ever since we moved to the North Fork, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very speak easy, and although the bar is dimly lit by candlelight, it adds so much to your surroundings. The walls are littered with interesting conversation pieces, and the bartenders donned very Hunter S. Thompson-esque Hawaiian shirts. Some live music was on the menu for the Thursday night I visited, and they played some Wallflowers, Bruce Springsteen, and other mellow tunes. Their expertly crafted pizza was to die for, and adding fresh clams to it was something I never would have tried had it not been for their menu suggestions. It was amazing. We also tried the house marinated olives, and they were very tasty. But the real star of the show are their cocktails. The bartender is clearly very experienced, and it shows. I tried the strawberry margarita and the Trader Vic's Mai Tai, and my husband had the The Northside Collins, Backsliding Presbyterian, Grassroots. They were all INCREDIBLE. Seriously, the best drinks I've ever had. I'll be thinking of them well into the summer, that's for sure. Not only were the food, drinks, atmosphere, staff, and entertainment amazing, but the prices were actually much more reasonable than I imagined! We spent under $100 on six drinks, one pizza with two half toppings, and olives. It was a nice surprise. I can't wait to go back and run through their list of cocktails! If I could have had more than three, I certainly would have. Don't miss this place if you're ever in the area! read more

Drinks were perfection. Our bartender Evan was so knowledgable and friendly. We started with Nonnas meatballs which were divine. Soft, sweet, salty, cheezy, oozy goodness. For dinner we had a white pie with fennel sausage and truffle oil. OH MY GOD IT WAS HEAVEN. If you are in the area or passing through I highly recommend this place! We can't wait to come back when we visit Greenport again in the future. read more

Well-made drinks in an atmospheric underground bar with delicious pizza from the restaurant upstairs. The entrance is almost hidden, with only the table shuffleboard in sight. But keep looking, it's worth it. read more

Brix & Rye - Make-your-own red pizza with mozzarella, mushrooms, spinach and a fried egg - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Greenport, New York

I have been wanting to go here for so long and finally made it there Friday night. I was hesitant hearing that it was downstairs, and thought it would feel claustrophobic but it was the exact opposite----it's SEMI-downstairs---I could see the street from my table!!! The excellent cocktails made by Evan made it an even better nightcap than I expected---he remembered us from places he used to work and it was great to see him again, as always, with a big smile on his face. There was a great mixed crowd of young and not-so-young and it has a really friendly vibe. The restroom hidden in the foyer wall---the wallpaper blends into the door---was clean and bright. I will definitely go back soon. Loved it. read more

Best atmosphere for a fun night out. Best pizza on North Fork. Best cocktails, best bartenders..... The meatballs are amazing, the salads are huge and fresh. Try the Backsliding Presbyterian if you want a light drink, or if you're serious, have the Sazerac. read more

Festive atmosphere, fast, friendly service. Caesar salad and classic margarita pizza were delicious!!! Would definitely go back next time in Greenport. read more

We tried this restaurant tonight for the first time and were very pleasantly surprised at the coziness of place, the quality of the food, and the friendliness of the staff. Two of us shared Nonna's meatballs, arugula salad, and a margarita pizza along with a couple of cocktails. Everything was top notch. The small basement bar is a little difficult to find if you don't know beforehand what you are looking for. A small candle that was burning on an upstairs table gave away the fact that the restaurant was open....We intend on making this a regular stop on our way through Greenport. read more

Beautiful, fresh, thoughtful cocktails, and the best pizza I've had in a REALLY long time. The bartender was also awesome.

Imagine stumbling upon an aromatic gem in an enclosed courtyard, surprisingly hungry after shopping for hours. "Let's grab a quick bite," we say after seeing the family of four on the patio enjoying stacked pizzas, chilled white wine and local craft beer. Little did we realize just how delicious this "bite" would be. I had forgotten the difference a brick-oven can make. The menu was a treat in itself, offering an array of fresh toppings. My husband's meat-eating-ways attracted him to the pepperoni, and I couldn't resist fresh local clams (a first-time try on pizza). Thankfully, we were able to do half-pie toppings or we would have had to order two full pies. We dared to have hot cherry peppers as a shared topping. Our appetite was fairly monstrous, so we were hoping one pie would be satisfactory--it was more than enough. The pie packed on the heat, both temperature-wise and spice level. The Southhampton Double White and Greenport Harbor Ale were lovely complements. Oh, and what made the visit especially satiating? The playlist: featuring Velvet Underground and the Beatles. My advice- if you're lucky enough to vacation in Greenport, you should stop here for some of the best pizza you'll ever have. Then pop-over to the brewery, which is conveniently a stones-throw away! (The review was so close to five stars, but I had to ask for parmesan cheese- this should be a table staple!) read more

Brix & Rye - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Greenport, New York

My friend and I were only in Greenport for 2 nights and visited Brix & Rye twice! Hidden gem too! Great bartenders....sooo nice, inventive, and knowledgeable about booze! My only complaint is that we don't have Brix & Rye near my house!! Well done Brix & Rye!!! Cheers!!!! read more

What a terrible experience. Came in with a few friends, looking to spend the evening drinking plenty of cocktails. There were several open tables but the waitress would not seat us because we weren't eating food. This is Greenport, not Manhattan. If you're gonna serve over priced cocktails and be super pretentious you're in the wrong city. No idea how this place survives. Apparently no one here has actually been to legit cocktail bars before. read more

I love the atmosphere of this bar! I have never been disappointed by a drink, true mixologists!

This place is great.. The bartenders know there stuff, put on a good show and all make the best drinks around.. Im giving the 4 stars and not 5 bc its just over priced.. The cocktails are appropriate, but the beers are just too much.. $12.00 for a beer is just wrong... For someone who wants to go out for a few beers, your tab shouldnt be $36.00 for 3 beers.. Have a $5-$6 dollar option.. read more

Brix and Rye has the best drinks I have ever had, hands down. The Barbados Buck is my absolute fav! The atmosphere is very cool and laid back. The bartender Evan is passionate and truly amazing at what he does, a real mixologist! read more

Great cocktails, solid pizza and amazing service. Casual and fun spot -- bravo

If you go to 1 place in greenport go here. Owner/mixologist Evan is the consummate host. His cocktails are perfection, and his love of the craft is absolutely evident. Combined with the food from 1943( best pizza till brooklyn), this speak easy is a must. read more

Great cocktails and vibe. The owner really knows his craft. Definitely worth a visit. read more
