Terrible!!! I witnessed one of the cashiers blatantly take advantage of a very drunk man…read more The customer handed the cashier A $20 bill, and he handed him back two dollars. He was only buying one drink. The man did not notice due to his state, so I spoke up and said excuse me I think you owe him a 10 and a one not 2 singles. I was told to mind my own effing business!!! And the poor man went on his way after being gypped on purpose by th a cashier! Told him he's got some nerve and I wouldn't give this business a dime! I don't know about you but I would not do business with a company that takes advantage of their customers.

Not really sure what purpose of this place is, other than to sell overpriced beer to ppl going to…read morethe beach. I am in Rockaway a lot, and the few times I've bought there I've been surprised the beer is more expensive than nearby delis. Also, I tried to buy a keg from them for a party and the guy was totally clueless. Said what I wanted-- a 1/4 keg of Modelo for the following weekend-- was impossible for so many reasons. It was weird because the next day I went to a distributor in Greenpoint and ordered a 1/4 keg of Modelo within 5 minutes. It gets better-- Guy said he'd call me back with the few kegs he could do...and he never called. So, in review: Overpriced cases of beer, zero knowledge of the industry, and awful customer service.

I traveled down to the Rockaways with my daughter to try out a place I've heard a lot about and…read morealways wanted to go . It was a little far for me but parking was easy and it was a nice night out . They have a parking lot but I usually go for the street when I can . As we approach you can hear the music see the locals having fun and it was fairly busy . TV's everywhere ! Every sport you can imagine . My daughter and I shared some apps and had a beer or two and some soft drinks . The pretzel was just ok nothing to really rave about . The chicken quesadillas was really good enjoyed that the flavor was robust . The nachos my daughter mostly ate that's what she wanted most . She said they were good maybe just a little heavy on the cheese ? The service was good she was very nice and checked on us a few times . Noise level is high so not a place for conversation but that's ok it's a sports bar pub type so it was expected. The prices were fair and overall it's a good joint . I imagine a hot summers night and kicking back with some cold beer and some nachos or wings . Good location could be a bit sketchy but the clientele here is def all rockaway and I mean all rockaway !

All of the servers were really nice and the vibe was cool too with live music at 6:30 PM. For food, we shared the chips and guacamole (8/10 addicting tortilla chips and the guac was decent but refreshing) and the fish sandwich (8/10 for sandwich and 7/10 for the fries). I did feel like everything needed more salt added. We also got the cucumber cooler as a drink and that was super refreshing! A table near us had the Mac and cheese balls but those looked kinda dry? And sad. Overall a great beach bar/restaurant to hang at!

St. Rippers Day included a slew of bands across its seven hours in a FREE event. I enjoyed the new wave-influenced dysfunctional relationship sagas from FirstSex and great 70s-type garage punk from a trio whose name I can't figure out (but will update to give the proper credit). I have no formal music training so I can't necessarily vouch for my genre descriptions, but I can thank Rippers for helping create a distinct sense of place in its regular operations as well as this festive annual event.

The pulled pork was incredibly tender, and the sides of mac and cheese and cornbread were absolutely stellar. The sausage was surprisingly great as well.

At the end of our meal, we had their house-made key lime pie, which was amazing. The ambiance inside is classic beach vibes, which is very fun and was a great way to continue our beach day adventure.
