This place is wild, so prepare yourself for some real shennanigans, make sure you don't go overboard, because things can get crazy real fast. Bartenders are attentive, chill, but willing to help you really party, so be aware. Darts are flyin, Pool is hopping, and the playlist is a crazy mix of Rock, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop and everything in between. A hole in the wall but fun. read more

On a whim, I came here for the first time this past weekend and was blown away by just how funky and cool this bar was. I felt like I drive the 25 miles into Bushwick but alas, it was right here on Long Island! And just like many Brooklyn bars, there was a pool table in the back, which garnered a lot of attention. There was even a sign up board, making it easy to join the queue and get a game in if you wanted to. The bathroom line was long but it moved fast. I was only mildly annoyed when one of the employees falsely accused me to cutting the line but other than that, I had no issues despite it being a very packed evening (which I loved). I especially enjoyed the DJ and the tunes he was jamming. He really played an eclectic set of different genres, which really had the whole place vibing and dancing. Looking for a cool place that's different than your usual jaunt? Then definitely check out The Leaky Lifeboat Inn! read more

The Leaky Lifeboat Inn - Bars Near Me - Seaford, New York

So I don't write reviews generally, but this experience was absolutely disgraceful on the part of the staff at the Leaky Lifeboat. Me and my buddy walked in around 2 AM on thursday night friday morning 15AUG25. When we walked in we were greeted by this younger guy bouncer with a beard and glasses. He took mine and my friends ID's clearly jokingly saying i dont know while looking at them (Mind you we're both 25 I'd say I look older than the dude working security). But what really irratated us was he called over some woman who didn't even appear to work there! He showed this creepy old lady our ID's with our REAL ADRESSES ON THEM. I said to him look I'll show you my old Military id (CAC) with the same name on it and he looked like he had no idea what he was seeing. Fed up we left and went to ridgewood station and didnt even get I.D'ed.... Long story short the staff like to waste your time and they apparently get to discriminate who they want to let in the bar. Just go to Wantagh instead. read more

This is a community establishment. it is so fun coming here. The bartender Dara is the most amazing bartender!!!! She makes the drinks perfectly and has an awesome personality!!!! read more

The Leaky Lifeboat Inn - a bartender pouring a drink - Bars Near Me - Seaford, New York

It's been awhile, Do I still got it? By it I mean the ability to write a good, fair review? Well there's no not like today to find out. My brother was invited out to hang with some friends and of course he asked if I wanted to go. With the virus still being around I exercise caution; however I did want to stretch my legs for a bit. So "The Leaky Lifeboat Inn" was where I would go to get my sea legs (get it). Parking was curbside, but at night there was plenty of parking. We got a spot and headed in. My brother went to get himself a beer. First question he asked was if they take debit. Yes, however it's a twenty dollar minimum. Wow! How much were they expecting him to drink alone? At four dollars a beer I guess a lot. But he only wanted two, while we waited so he left to get cash and came back. Now also I found out you have to order food in order to get a drink under Cuomo's restaurant slash bar reopening plan. It's a bit confusing why buying food before ordering a drink will protect you from the Coronavirus, but I digress. The bar was small, but comfortable. The staff was friendly enough. A lot of visuals to keep your eyes wondering, but the bar was lacking in entertainment for my taste. Either way, it was a nice place, I would go back under normal operating conditions. Oh my brother's friends I mentioned we were there to meet, never showed up! I never found out why, I guess it had something to do with being stranded at sea (get it). read more

See all

BEST. BAR. EVER. This place is a home away from home. I know I'm going to have a good time every time I go. Good music, good people, good drinks. Come get trashed and be a part of the family. Thursday's is also drunk karaoke and you can't beat that read more

The Leaky Lifeboat Inn - Halloween 2018 - Bars Near Me - Seaford, New York

Not a bad bar. Hard to judge due to COVID-19 along with it being a Monday! I've heard a lot of good things about this bar. Will have to come back when things are back to normal. Bartender was nice! read more

The Leaky Lifeboat Inn - a row of plastic cups filled with drinks - Bars Near Me - Seaford, New York

Best bar ever! I love this place. Every time I visit, I never pay for anything and sometimes I get laid in the office and one of the creepy owners walks in on me. One year, one of them threw a cake in a customer's face! Can't beat that for my money! This is my absolute favorite place to get blacked out and annoy the ever-loving piss out of any poor soul who thinks it may be a good idea to say hello to me. If you get a chance, get really drunk on Jameson and try to fight Al, he's the nicest guy ever and everyone will wonder what the f--k is wrong with you. The Leaky Life Boat, a great place to lose friends and be a genuine trash person. read more

The bartenders are half naked....looks like some kinky place and there's a dildo suction cupped to the mirror behind the bar...disgusting. Doesn't seem sanitary at all. Creepy. read more

The Leaky Lifeboat Inn - Coolest man on the planet - Bars Near Me - Seaford, New York

I was dragged here one night and I kept thinking to myself, "Please, don't let this place be filled with weird, perverted old men..." but no, to my surprise this bar was completely filled with hipsters! So with that being said, you can imagine the beer selection. "No Dos XX for me." But they did have Stella and various different alternative beers as well as local ones. Very nice atmosphere, The Leaky Lifeboat offers various different games such as a Foosball table, dart boards, and a virtual arcade style bowling machine, the default music that's played is GREAT (had most of my iTunes playlist) but the bar also has a modern day jukebox for your pleasure via payment. This is the bar to be at if you are in Long Island, I will be going back. read more

The Leaky Lifeboat Inn - The Leaky Lifeboat Bar in Seaford, Long Island - Bars Near Me - Seaford, New York

Leaky is the best bar ever. You can be and act as you'd come and have your own self autonomy to do what you'd like. People are friendly drinks flow like the Mississippi and around midnight you can find people doing xGANGVOCALSx inside while we reminisce on the old times. Don't miss out on the crowd that keeps the scene alive and wants to have fun without being judged. Picklebacks. Brooklyn lagers. Moshing. 2 stepping. Great people. Overall fun times and this bar makes my week by forgetting about life and having fun a little bit. Leaky and xLIHCx til the end. read more

This is a great bar. Went here with some friends for a birthday. The bar tenders are all very nice and they have a great draft beer selection and fusball table (uses quarters but they will give you change)/ other games etc. Would definitely recommend! read more

Best bathroom lighting. Highly recommended for ideal selfie usage. Out of everything you can do there, be sure not to miss out on this adventure. read more

How did this place reopen in February and I not know about it??! I guess because for the years I've been in the area it always looked like a YOUNG crowd. Thankfully my girlfriend dragged my bum out last night ensuring me I wouldn't feel like a grandmother. I'm so happy she did as I now actually have a place to go get a drink in an establishment with great indie/punk rock (didn't hear "Sweet Home Alabama", "sweet Caroline" or Lady Gaga once. Thank you Baby Jesus!), wide variety of cheap drinks (Magners Irish Cider yay!), Foosball, sik, attentive, friendly bartenders, kick ass owners and oh yeah, Phatsos right next door (www.phatsos.com) AND THEY DELIVER TO THE BAR so you can continue your trip into sweet inebriation. The crowd was surprisingly cool. It was like 1 part hipster, 1 part hardcore and of course 1 part douchebag. I felt like I was in Brooklyn. That was until I was reminded by some jackass Long Island kid who's pick up line to my girlfriend and I "so which one of you is going to give me your number?" that I was, indeed still here. We got there at 10 and there were a few people but it really picked up around 11:30. I'm anticipating in the next few weeks that the crowd will be less douchy with the children going back to school. Shot to Have: Creamsicle- yeah, I drank 8 lol read more

This place is your average local bar, until around 9pm. They have a solid beer selection on tap, and great amount of cans/bottles to choose from. The staff is super friendly. Not to mention this is the one place you can escape the typical BRO vibe of Long Island. The music playing is also great everything from punk, pop, hardcore. metal, they really have it all. It's also not bad on the wallet, the Leaky really keep prices low for the most part. Plus $2.50 PBRs all the time (yea its not the greatest beer but still). If your not looking to spend a lot this place makes that possible. Plus the bartenders seem to remember a little thing called by backs. A few drinks down and there's one on the house. Keep in mind don't go to this spot looking for anything fancy. Just a good place for some drinks with open minded people. read more

"Til Death Due Us Party" is an understatement. Best Bar Long Island, and I'll stand by that until someone fights me for a different opinion. Been going here for just over 5 years and it never disappoints for a good time. From pink dildos, the yearly party, and to Bill hyping the place up for Emo nights, it'll be your favorite place to come back with friends to make friends. read more

this place is great me and my friends love coming here but this music is so loud you can't talk to anyone. please turn the music down a little bit please please please!!! read more

not really my kind of place but went for a friend's birthday. drinks felt watered down which is never a good thing. I rather be charged $12 for a really strong drink then charged $5 or whatever for a watered down drink. in the long run you end up spending more for weak drinks then you'd spend for the strong drinks and you never get drunk. read more

No. Do not like this place, its dirty. I had to pee in the men's room, it was really freakin' nasty. It was like.. not cleaned at all and no one was really even there when I went. I'm of age.. maybe thats why I have no interest in this place.. and I'm not a hipster. So, Meh. Sorry to leave a poop review but I just was disappointed. Also, parking was crap. I'd rather go across the street to the beer distributer and drink with the guy who works there. Though - I will say prices are VERY fair. But.. It's still DIRTY! read more

I ran out of gas one time down the road after just moving to the neighborhood. I was shot from walking so stopped in for a drink...asked for water, was given a shot And a blue moon on the house.. I stayed for hours, sang karaoke, had more drinks, took a photo in a bathroom with people I didn't even know but felt like I have my whole life, I was overwhelmed with the amount of killer music on the jukebox , I had some tasty snacks and I went home with not one but TWO unbelievably sexy women!! My wife wasn't the most thrilled with me but my gosh if there's a heaven on Long Island this place is it! Much love my dudes ;) read more

Got locked in the office a few years back on New Year's Eve. 10/10 would do it again. Best bar ever!

The Leaky has only been around since Feb 2011. I know this because they have a sign inside saying something along the lines of "Proudly serving PBR's since..." you get the gist. It's a fairly new establishment and has gained quite the crowd/popularity within those 2 years. They're known for their reasonably priced beers and their atypical crowd...which is nice for a change. I'm in a list type of mood so I'll break things down for you: -Beers: Let's start out with the most important aspect. The alcohol! They have a good variety on tap and plenty in bottles/cans. They have $2.50 PBR's 24/7 if you enjoy them. My beer (I think it was German, the name unfortunately escapes me at the moment) was great too. -Food: They have a full menu and a partnership with next door's ZA Pizza. COOLEST FEATURE: the pizza slot. They have a designated pizza slot where they pass food from place to place. The menu is in the bar and you can order with the bartenders. We got NUTELLA PIZZA. Nutella with toasted marshmellows on top. Yes you read that right. It was absolutely heavenly. Oh and Mac N' Cheese pizza, yum yum yum. -Vibe: You're not going to find your typical Lawn guy land crowd here. If I had to peg this place you'd find a more "hipster" crowd. Everyone is laid back and casual. They play the Black Keys, Beastie Boys and Cake. Great taste in music, need I say more? It's nautical themed and very chill. No guidos allowed. *A few more things to note: -decent amount of seating both at the bar and in the back -they have a disco ball -dart board! -young crowd -jukebox What's not to love? This place is great. What a nice change of scenery. And the people here are actually nice and willing to recommend beers. I'll be back Leaky! read more

This place is pretty cool. They have a really nice beer selection and a really friendly staff. There is a Vegan place next store that makes Vegan food for the bar patrons till about midnight. The Leaky Lifeboat's regular menu is pretty good too! The music was really, really loud. Of course, I expect loud music at a bar, but I did find it to be overly loud the night we visited. It's def a good place to have fun and be casual and enjoy some good beers! And if you're vegan - BONUS! read more

Make sure you wash your face if you ever get smacked in the face by the pink dildo behind the bar by one of your drunk friends. Other than that. It's a great bar. read more

Stopped in between a wedding ceremony and reception for a quick drink. Your typical dive bar, lots of sailor decor, but was very clean. They just redid a wall in the back with different colored tiles, looks awesome!!! Bartender was very friendly and attentive. read more

The Leaky Lifeboat Inn - Bars Near Me - Seaford, New York

This bar is a good alternative for those who like Effin Gruven in Bellmore and The Black Sheep Ale House in Mineola. It's not as busy as the other two, yet it boasts a fine selection of craft beers on draft. The music is also quite similar to what you'd find at the other too. I like that Leaky has a stage for live performances. I'd rate it 3.5 stars. read more

Went here last night for the first time with a couple of friends, definitely a great spot. The place isn't too small, nice size, very friendly staff. They have a very good selection of beers on tap, especially for the bar's size. They have several craft and local beers and a nice selection of bottles as well. If you'd rather go for something cheap, they have PBR drafts for $2.50 on a Saturday night. There's also plenty of games to play, 2 dart boards, fusbol table, ms pacman/galaga, arcade bowling, and they even have chess/checker boards. If you're looking to avoid the typical long island douchebag crowd, you might want to check this place out. read more

I was introduced to the Leaky by a friend who referred to it as a hipster bar. He was mostly right. The Leaky usually has specials on PBR, and plays some off-the-beaten-path music, though music you've still heard of. They have a bunch of games in the back; both board and otherwise. I like to come here earlier in the night, before it gets super crowded, as it does, and try to grab a table in the back. The bartenders are okay. I recall having at least one rude bartender on occasion. They HATE when people don't know what they want. They have a decent sized beer selection that usually has a few I've never heard of (which I view as a plus) along with some of the less common common beers like PBR and Stella that we all know but don't ALWAYS see at bars. Prices are what you would expect for the area. Nothing notable in that department. You can order pizza from ZA and have it "delivered" I understand, though I've never tried. If you come here, definitely check out ZA before you leave. It's pretty much the only other business you can walk (shamble) to, and they serve interesting pizza. read more

So i used to hate bars, the social anxiety and random people coming up to you Nd never being able to get the bartenders attention, but this is SO different. Petey is so nice and the service is quick! Best bar to go to by far! and the only place to go! read more

One of the best spots on LI. Too bad it's far from me or i'd visit more! It's a huge plus that they have awesome food next door & great beers on tap. read more

Worst experience ever never go tho this place. Total dump. Servers not friendly and the environment is dead. Would rather watch paint dry .Never again. read more

Me personally the ambiance of the place sucked, but if you like hipsters, tattoos everywhere and emos here and there this is the place for you. I do wanna play their old school hockey game tho. Prob won't be back but it was a experience. read more

Leaky is my favorite local go to bar. I grew up in Seaford and when I first turned 21 there wasn't many options. My friends and I typically went to Wantagh bars- complete "Bro" scene. Leaky marches to the beat of its own drum expect Bushwick type of dive bar in the middle of Long Island. Following them on IG you can find out what events/ themes they have next. They have had video game night etc. The bartenders are great and never a long wait for service. They have a great selection of beers from Angry Orchard, Blood Orange, PBR ($3)to higher end Delirium ($8). Whenever I'm there I have a great time whether they have a DJ or it's the jukebox. Keep up the good work. read more

I came here on Cinco De Mayo with my friend and had never heard of it before but was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were really cheap and very good. The bartenders were really friendly and willing to try to make a new drink if they hadn't heard of it yet. They also came over to our table and brought us crazy colored contorted straws for no reason at all. I don't really know how to describe the crowd, kinda hipster, kind of hard-edge, lots of tattoos. This place opened up recently and doesn't stand out much when looking at it from the outside, but I would definitely come back if I still lived in NY. read more

This is a really cool bar that doesn't have that douche-baggy long island meathead vibe. Theres great jukebox options and an awesome bar menu from the vegetarian spot next door. They actually serve the food through the wall! In other news they have big buck deer hunter. I'm vegetarian but damn do I love killing animated giraffes. They also have darts and i'm not 100% sure but i think they have a pool table. Great place. read more

Really liked this bar. Good place to chill. They had a good music selection and my friends seemed to be happy with the drink selection. Of course, I enjoyed water while I sat there because I'm boring and don't drink. You can get food from the next door Long Island Vegetarian Eatery delivered to you via a window that they pass the food into the bar from the store and a sign lights up in the bar that says "Food" (Menus at the bar) I will definitely be coming back with friends for later night chillin! Note: $20 min for tabs read more

Went to this place and my pal got thrown out. He was being creepy. He fell out of the front door into traffic, luckily he is made of teflon and steel and survived. They should put their front door away from the street. Terrible placement. read more

My favorite bar to ever exist probably EVER. The drinks are inexpensive, the bartenders know what they're doing, and they love getting you drunk. I would try and remember a great specific memory with my time i have spent there, but unfortunately I just can't remember. karaoke with petey is one of a kind. Ladies night every Thursday is where it's at. Kinda feeling like Frank from Shameless with my love for Leaky. THE spot to be. Bring your friends, family, cousins from around the world, anyone will be welcomed with open arms. Thank u guys for working so hard, we LOVE you!!!!!! read more

Thursday night karaoke. Bars cool but karaoke night has fallen off. The old dude who did it was better. There's like ten minutes now between performances. I miss the canned beer they used to have too. The old guy used to get smashed and break stuff.... a lot of fun read more
