    Pumpkin something or other
    Justin M.

    We stopped at this bar for a drink while visiting family in Huntington. It had a casual, friendly bar vibe, with a slightly older crowd. There was a band playing that evening, so they do have live music, however, we left before they started playing. The bartenders were friendly and welcoming. Overall, the drinks were just so so. I ordered one of their pumpkin seasonal cocktails, and despite watching the bartender shake it, it arrived looking unmixed. The mixture just wasn't great as it was separating on its own. My wife got their version of a French 75. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, again, just so so.

    The atmosphere in this bar is top tier!! One of my go to local spots. Definitely look out for Michelle the bartender too. Super friendly and attentive!

    Repeal is a very well-decorated fun place. The drink menu alone is enough for me to go back for! The vibe is the prohibition era. The DJ played something for everyone. I went to a private party so I can't comment on service at the moment. If you want to have a good time make sure you go to Repeal! Enjoy!

    Wow ! Came here on a Sunday night and it was awesome! Meaning empty and the whole place was to ourselves. Its is huge inside and we were so excited it was game night.! They have a pool table / jenga and a bunch of other games. Our bartender was cool and made amazing drinks. I got the French and then the Vanilla Bathtub drink that just sounds amazing ! Oh yaaa they also have a swing inside

    Pleasantly surprised on a Friday night. Perfect old fashion sweet and tart with Basil Hayden. Great garden space with a small pool table- live music and dancing! A beautiful night cap!

    Cool prohibition vibe. Good, hand-crafted cocktails, and experienced bartenders. Live music on the weekends. We had a passionfruit tequila drink that was really good, and one with a cool foam top, I think called Giggle Juice (not on the menu), that was really good. Totally recommend. Tried two drinks: (1) the Mezcal Dragon Foam - Mezcal, dry curacao, ginger root simple syrup, lime juice topped with dragon fruit coconut orange blossom foam garnished with dehydrated lemon & mint sprig - wow; gorgeous, and delicious! And then (2) The Goon Passionfruit - tequila (or you can opt for spirit of your choice), Passion Fruit, Lime juice, Aperol, Amaretto, Dry Curacao, shaken with muddled strawberries and garnished with strawberry & Mint sprig. Wow! Amazing. Check it out.

    Fixed that for you!

    If you're not dressed for a wedding, go elsewhere. This bar, neatly tucked in the heart of Huntington has recently decided to play fashion police and refused entry to patrons for otherwise normal evening attire. Are you a male with a hat? You're not allowed in. Are you a female with the exact same hat? Step right up! Do your pants have more than the normal amount of pockets? Better go home and change! Is your v neck t shirt too deep? Sorry boss, can't come in. BUT if you happen have a set of visible breasts and two X chromosomes, you're first in line girl! Essentially, if you're wearing anything other than business or formal attire, you'll not only be criticized by the door staff who are repeating the words of the owner, you won't be let in. My friend was lambasted by the security guard who insisted he was wearing sweatpants (denim cargo pants) and refused to allow us into the bar. In other instances, I have seen men denied entrance because of a hat, but a corral of women in hats permitted to enter. Strange how that works! In our requests to speak with the owner or manager, we were told to "call him" as if that were a viable option. Let me just grab his number from my imaginary Rolodex and phone him up! Trying to see the positive side and patronize a local business, this has turned into some sort of power trip by the owners who quite frankly, seem to turn away thousands of dollars in patrons night after night. It makes you wonder based on the other reviews how this place meets their numbers if nobody is allowed in and the staff pays as little attention to you as possible. I wonder if the drinks are watered down to increase margins to offset the lack of customers allowed in. Makes you think. Oh and the kicker? This was HALLOWEEN WEEK. Imagine that! "Hey let's promote the holiday! Come in dressed up and see all the decorations we have up. And the costumes! But not the costumes with cargo pants. Or sweatpants. Or shirts that aren't specifically in the taste of the owner. OR anyone from any movie, show, or pop culture figure/character who has ever worn a hat in character. But make sure to look at all the decorations that include those elements from the sidewalk as you're lambasted by security. I promise we're such a cool bar once you get in!!!!!!!!!!!". But hey, just listen to their website and "Don't just read about us, come on in and enjoy the ambiance and a cocktail!" I guess do that -- that's IF you're deemed worthy of entrance. In sum, there are phenomenal staff members, more room, better prices and MUCH better atmospheres in virtually any other Huntington village bar than this one. And you might actually be let in to enjoy it!

    Still the best cocktails in Huntington... This time I tried the superlative Honey Nut Old Fashioned and it was a definite wow.

    Stop in after dinner at another restaurant to hear some live music. The band was great, fun night.

    My husband and I went to The Last Door on a Friday night and we got a seat at the bar right away…read more They had live music which was awesome, and both the bartenders were phenomenal. They were interactive, personable and very knowledgeable. I had 2 cocktails: The Last Word & After hours, my husband had the Pineapple & Oolong & the Pac-Man. All cocktails were amazing. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. We split the short rib and the chicken kebabs. I wish I had pictures of the food, but let me tell you the food was absolutely worth it and I would go back just for that short rib. Highly highly recommend The Last Word.

    Such a cute atmosphere. There is a bar counter in the front, with additional seating in the back. I…read morebelieve there is also outdoor seating. My hibiscus cocktail was delicious, sweet but not too sweet, and had such a vibrant pretty pink color. Food was phenomenal! The Sweet Garlic Chicken Bites are a must try as an app. They are loaded with juicy flavor and they are nice and crispy. Salmon was a nice size, juicy and flakey, and the sides were the perfect quantity. The pork chop was a big portion, but be ready for some heat!! The sauces drizzled on top had a kick to it, but overall very tasty. The pork chop was cooked perfectly - still very tender and not dry! Service was good, we told the waiter we had a time restriction due to attending a show at the paramount, and they were accommodating.

    If my review can save others from making the mistake it's worth it…read more What an awful experience. We sat down at 5:45pm before a 7pm show. The only other people in the restaurant were 2 people at the high top by the bar. The first two drinks we ordered took almost 20min to arrive. Our group of 6 (once all arrived) then ordered more drinks which took also a very long time. The food was awful. Chicken breast so thick and dry, and not to mention the plates they use you couldn't actually cut it on because it was a bowl. The pasta over cooked and falling apart. The rice balls had consistency of a mashed potato. The cacio de Pepe was more like buttered noodles. Not to mention the portion size for the prices they charge. The poached pear salad was outstanding. Our last drink was ordered as some food arrived and didn't show up until the check was being paid. If you have a small menu like them, you should be able to execute it well.

    Six of us went for dinner before going to an 8pm show at the Paramount. Had drinks at the bar…read morebeforehand and the bartender was so slow she couldn't get all our drinks made in 15 minutes before we sat down. We were seated at 6:30 (reservation time) we had to ask for more water, waitress did not check on us very often and the food came out at 7:45. I ordered the poached pear salad with chicken and the chicken cutlet was so dry I could hardly cut it with a knife. This was not a great venue overall. Next time we will go someplace else.
