Came here after starting next door at North Fork Brewing because the guy singing over here had such a great voice. We were the only ones here right around closing time on a Sunday, but were welcomed in anyway and didn't feel like we were keeping anyone which is always nice. The distillery has plenty of cocktail options to choose from made from their signature liquors. The mango mojito here was refreshing and delicious, with just the right amount of mango puree. After spending the weekend getting soaked by drink prices in the Hamptons I was also happy to discover that prices here were incredibly reasonable. A standard mixed drink is $10, cocktails are around $14. Food here is the same as next door as the two share a parking lot with rotating food trucks -- our bartender let us know that in addition to the Greek food truck they also sometimes have a pizza truck that's apparently super good. Will have to come back! read more

Awesome place!! We went here a few months ago during the fall for all the special seasonal drinks & we loved everything!! The live music was great, the service was fast considering all the people there & the atmosphere was so freaking cute. I even got to hangout with some pups! So they are very pet friendly & the pics helped me raise some nice money for a small senior dog rescue group. Only giving 4 stars for now because didn't get to try the food because there were SO many bees everywhere we had to leave. I know it's not their fault but I felt so awful for the bartender she was literally covered in bees I would've died. Then a few started coming after my drink & we had to go haha but we will definitely be back!! read more

UPDATED Have spoken with the new owner who has assured me things have changed since my visit. I will try again this summer and give another honest review. For now I'm giving 4 due to our correspondence and quick response time. Rude. Went in November, I have never felt so unwanted in an establishment in my life. As we were walking in menus were pushed at us across the bar. We hadn't even sat, no hello, no welcome. We each ordered a drink and there was a chalkboard that said happy hour menu but we didn't see food, smell food and no one would talk to us. It was just a very weird rude vibe and it's a one and done for us. read more

The decor here is gorgeous and makes you feel so welcome and at home. The employees working were so friendly and made delicious drinks. Went for the grinch menu, but will definitely be back soon. I loved how balanced the drinks were. read more

3.5 with potential for higher Atmosphere: pretty cool. Nice bar area. Tables are a bit tight inside. A decent amount of outdoor seating in the front. Live music played outside while we were there. Service: okay. Kind of hard to hear our server. Not really good or bad. I believe the owner came over to many tables while we were there. He let us sample some spirits- thank you! Food: pricey and not good at all. Had the buffalo dip. Not worth it. Drinks: good! As expected! :) We have a great distillery in Patchogue so I probably wont travel to this one but if I was in the area for something else I would consider stopping by. read more

LOVE this spot! Our bartender was super sweet and attentive. We got an espresso martini flight and every single one was so delicious. We paired our flight with a cinnamon pretzel and it truly knocked our experience out of the park. We can't wait to come back! read more

Wow! This might the coolest new spot on LI. Everything from the atmosphere, to the drinks, and the staff were seriously top notch. Riverhead is a great place to spend the day sampling local brews, grabbing a bite for lunch, and now you can grab a beautifully made cocktail in the middle of all that. We stopped in to check the place out last weekend since we were next door at North Fork Brewing. We were seated at the bar which was all open to their outdoor seating. Patrons were spaced a part appropriately and all employees had their masks on. They had a list of cocktails, samplings, and small bites. We ended up trying a couple different cocktails, none of which disappointed, and a flat bread that really hit the spot. Drinks were made fresh and will set you back around $12. Warning: you'll want to try more than one! The Blue 71st was one of the best and most interesting gin & tonics I've ever had. The vibe here was so relaxing and the bartenders were so helpful and pleasant. I've already told so many people about this place, I honestly cannot wait to come back and try more from them! read more

I don't usually go to bars or breweries but I would think someone would have a hostess since they have tables set up and provide food. Not one person greeted us, it was just a free-for-all: no menus for the drinks and I didn't see any of the drinks listed on the chalk board, idk. If they didn't have table seating or food I'd say fine but the place was swamped and their famous pumpkin drink was not listed on the menu so once we found seating, the bartender explained the drink. The drink in the pumpkin fyi is $25 and half the pumpkin is filled with ice (I do understand that they couldn't possibly fill up the entire pumpkin with the drink as it has alcohol and if they did it would probably be double the price). My partner had a peanut butter espresso with some kind of alcohol in it - I'm told it was good. Apparently food is provided here but we didn't know where those menus where and it's not like anyone acknowledged us so we just got our drinks and left. There are also A LOT of bees so be warned. The drinks were good so 3 stars for that but wouldn't return. read more

Great place to hang on a fall Saturday afternoon. What a coincidence, we were there on a Saturday Afternoon. Foods is a great accompaniment and the distilled spirits are better because you know they were made here. Manhattan (named after my Alma Mater - go Jaspers) was satisfying and the 2 &4 year whiskies finished the afternoon without pain. Very Chill North Fork destination. UBEREQUIRED. . read more

My sister and I went last week for the Boozie Ice Cream that was in a Newsday Article. Barmaid was less than friendly, took the order and delivered it. We had to get her attention to pay the check. Boozie Ice Cream was not boozie at all. You must purchase a flight of 4 for $40.00. While eating our ice cream (flavor was good but no alcohol) bees kept buzzing us. NEVER AGAIN. read more

When on the North Fork on Long Island and wine is not your thing, then maybe vodka, gin or rum is. This is an upstart business ( August 2020). Working out the kinks but don't let that deter you. Set in an old fire house Montauk Distilling will quench the thirst burning inside you. Don't order a simple drink pick one off the menu. Can't decide ask Lauren she will help. Friendly staff and good music on the weekend. Cheers to all and CIAO FOR NOW. read more

Rating a 3.5 I was here on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was their St Patrick's Day and they were mobbed. There was some confusion about our reservation, but it was all fixed and it ended up fine. Sunday was empty and was more of the laid back ambiance. We ordered cheese board, Buffalo chicken dip and chips and salsa. Cheese board was tasty and average, I'd get it again. The other two snacks, were scarce and overpriced....had they been more generous, I'd probably have given 4.5 stars. Sunday they were out of flatbreads and pita to go with the hummus we ordered. I understand this stuff happens. I had the grapefruit Paloma with vodka, delicious and average priced. I plan to return. read more

Servers were rude, 40 for a flight seems insane so we left. Place was empty on a Saturday and it took 30 minutes to be served. Looks cute and pretty decor but service and price not worth it read more

This place feels like a hidden gem in its location. You're off the main road so you can really sit and enjoy your time. We went for a drink after dinner, and with the new regulations you have to order food. We ordered chips so we didn't get to try anything substantial off of the food menu. Would definitely go back for a night out. read more

We've been here twice now. The cocktails are delicious and well created. The atmosphere is super chill, but beautifully decorated. In the summerthe open the front door. (Which is a garage door. ) It's a really nice place to hang out and have a drink. They also have games you can play. They sell bottles of their spirits to take with you as well as their craft spiked seltzer. We'll definitely keep coming back. Nice to have them so close. read more

pulled up and thought man this is gonna be a great place, wrong we did not have a good experience here. waited 22 mins and our party wasn't even acknowledged by any one of the five girls behind the bar they were busy I'll say that but a greeting goes a long way. When someone got one of the girls attention he got a snippy be right with you. Behind the bar was a mess not just the dirty glasses all over, but the girls looked so disorganized crossing back and forth running all over, and bad sanitation habits the one in pink leggings rubbing her face touching garnishes. The drinks were inconsistent and just okay $40 for a espresso flight was way over priced for what you got. Kitchen was closed so that was a big sad dunno why they closed that on a Sunday. Also not sure if it was the owner or manager playing corn hole he could have just been a customer if he was a part of the bar shame on him for not helping will not return read more

We hosted a birthday party here and cannot say enough good things! From the food, the drinks, the service and how safe we felt, it was a great time. Danielle and all of the staff here did such an amazing job to ensure our party was a success in the Yard. It was obvious that a lot of time and thought were put into creating the perfect setting for our party. The staff was very attentive and all of our guests left raving about what a great spot this is. Highly recommend checking this place out for a fun day out and considering it for your next event! read more
