The wings were awful... they're the already cooked blobs of breading and fat that places without deep fryers sell. Complete garbage, they should be embarrassed serving this type of food.

The Blarney Castle re-opened about a month ago under new owners and a new chef. So ignore all…read moreprevious reviews from that time. The place has been re-done but the "historic" fish remains. Sound suppressors have been installed and they help temper the noise. The limited wine list is well priced but unfortunately they were out of one of the two chardonnays (Bonanza) on the list. I ordered the other Chardonnay which was double the cost of the Bonanza (but still fairly priced for the quality) and it did not come out for 15 minutes. I alerted the waitress who stated that she was getting ice for it. The wine finally came with two chilled wine glasses (wrong) and it was warm. Strike two on the wine. Someone is not checking inventory. We got there as it opened at five. No excuse for not having a listed wine and then serving a warm $65 dollar bottle. Each plate of food was delivered in a staggered delivery about five to ten minutes apart. Food should come out at the same time to all customers. That's probably on the chef with the mercurial temperament. That being said; the food was very good. The chef can really cook but get there soon because he might not be there long. Four televisions the dining room is unnecessary and very distracting. Turn them off during service. I plan on going back for the good food but will bring my own wine. I got three different answers when I asked about a corkage fee; so I don't know what the corkage fee is. The owners are new and need time to adjust to the place. I see the place improving as the kinks are worked out.

Tap That sits on Rockaway Beach Boulevard, a major east-west thoroughfare on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, NYC. Rockaway Park, Queens hold nostalgia for me as my now defunct high school sits opposite on this same street. The school is defunct, but the building still exist. I walked the dead end street of my former high school leading to the boardwalk and beach. I patronized Tap That on a very high intense muggy humid late August afternoon. I was hoping the geographic location proximity to the ocean the atmospheric temperature would be cooler, but it was hotter than the blazes of abject hell and damnation. Yelp mobile enable find Tap That, is a beer bar with self-serve taps charged by the ounce, a pub for New American cuisine. The self-serve taps are monitored with a card reader provided that measures the amount of alcohol poured to correctly charge customers. The beer tap card contains step-by-step instructions with sketch drawing depicting how to correctly self-pour. Customer must activate this beer tap card to pour. The server/cashier explain and guide customers the process. Customer service is attentive who take the time for patience without producing the standard rude scowl look of localized nuisance. Ergo, customers are their own bar tender for beer and wine of selection and amount of intake control. The beer selection are: Lager, Guinness Stout - Irish dry, German malts, Belgian ale, New England Pale Ale, IPA - Sour, Stout - Imperial, and cider semi sweet. Wine selection and cocktail for self-serve taps are: Sparkling Rosé, Red Blend, White Blend, Red Sangria, and Lime Margarita. I am grateful the alcohol self-serve tap selection includes wine and Margarita for inclusion. My brain is biased toward "on the tap" concept for beer. Glasses are available for self-serve of pilsner beer glass, wine tumbler glass, and standard beverage glass. The wall label displays the drink name with ABV range, and geographic region origin. There is a large outdoor patio. There are large windows which a staff member opened, disappointedly escaping the cool indoor air conditioning allowing the muggy high humidity to blanket the bar. I felt very uncomfortably warm while sitting at a high chair of a small high table. My table contained a pack of cards. My desiderium is to absorb the coolness of indoor air conditioning. A credit card is required to open a tab is mandatory as "incremental pre-authorization" before the self pour begin and before any food can be ordered preventing customers to intentional skip the bill. This business practice, is possibly, to prevent another infamous NYC self-styled food influencer "dine-and-dash diva," as late 2025 for ordering expensive meals at select targeted locations of upscale New York City restaurants who deliberately refusing to pay the bill. There is a undisclosed mandatory credit card surcharge 3.00% affixed to the bill upon payment which is utterly frivolous. At each table contains card or board games to keep customers entertained. There is live music for entertainment on select evenings. Decorum is simple with low hanging warm yellow string lighting. C.T. style lobster roll $35.00 Yelpers praised the lobster roll which I have never had and never tried despite of reading this concoction which originated Milford, Connecticut. It was served warm, freshly shucked lobster meat immersed in melted butter on a top split New England bun. Wow! This concoction is a localized North American dish. I have a strong proclivity for Connecticut lobster roll as I prefer warm and butter than Maine serves the lobster cold and mixed with mayonnaise. It was served with a small bag of Cape Cod kettle cooked potato chips. The lobster roll was very good, however, I did not have any prior knowledge of the average extortionate price. Oh! One Connecticut lobster roll market average prices typically range from $25.00 to $35.00 for standard sizes which now I am fully acutely aware. One's food taste and predilection lifestyle interest exceeds the wallet for finances as aesthete and joie de vivre. Jam'n Red Sangria, Rioja, Spain, ABV 12.5% I have self poured on the tap less than .25 ounce and was charged $4.50. My pour was good taste. I did enjoyed this Sangria. I am NOT an alcoholic as many people were mislead to believe or erroneously to think as one's preceived false belief. Business cards are available for grabs upon request only. Business cards appeared to be printed on three (3) cardstocks to be 170 lb. thickness for weight. Tap That features a donkey as their business logo. Free WiFi is available at "Stop Waiting Start Pouring" without password required. I did obtain my sales receipt. Restroom facility is relatively clean. Menu is obtained by the nuisance of QR scan code.

I came early in the season so they aren't cooking up anything on the grill just yet but Im sure I will be back to check them out again! Nice selection of bottles and beers on tap available as well as a full bar for cocktails. Average beer was about $6. Great place to sit out by the ocean to make you forget you are still in New York City! Plenty of seating inside and sports on the TV if thats what you're looking for. Very relaxed local vibe, friendly bartender and lots of flip-flops here. I'll be back.

We only end up in this part of the world when we head to the beach, and after a long day in the sunshine and jumping in the waves, it's hard to beat Bungalow Bar. The kids can take a photo in the giant lifeguard chair. The adults can have a spritz or three. And everyone can dine on burgers, and fries, and baked clams, and fried fish sandwiches that are comically too large for their tiny buns. It isn't the finest seafood in the city (our mussels weren't great), you shouldn't stray too far off their staples (the ribs were fine), but they know their way around a fryer. And you're not really there for the food, but the vibes. The service is a little hit or miss too, but I truly appreciate that when they messed up, they bought us a round. We all need to be able to admit when we're wrong, and apologize the right way. With alcohol.

Unfortunately parking is super difficult around this area for us so we decided to purchase take out again to eat in the car.

Fast forward, a few months later my fiancé bought back their taco flight which had brisket, fish, chicken, veggie, shrimp, and pork and none of them disappointed. This is such a good option for you to try out all of them! The veggie one was even surprisingly good with some potatoes in it. They're small tacos. I would be able to finish all 6 myself easily though I don't recommend it because even though the proteins all have a different taste, the toppings are so similar that it gets overwhelming when you eat 6 at once.

It was so lively with full bar and seating. There was a DJ in the back. If you continue walking, you'll bump into the pool in the back. They had cabanas and poolside chairs. With the DJ, it just gave me Miami or Vegas vibes! I proceeded to the rooftop which was another incredible experience! Staff were great and welcoming.
