"The real Rockaways"…read more I come here every now and then after hitting jacob Riis and the boardwalk, since it is on the way to the train. This is a very laid back neighborhood bar with an older crowd where everyone knows each other. Upon entering you may get some stares (I do not mind awkwardness too much) but if you stay for a couple of drink the "locals" will warm up to you. A couple even bought me a birthday shot. The wife of the couple also introduced me to other regulars at the bar. Mike, the bartender, is a very extreme character, who (for some reason) thought I was there the previous week and I told him that I was a photographer. Who knows where he go that from but it was funny, nonetheless. The bar is pretty standard and divey. There is a pool table, a jukebox and a patio in the back where one can smoke. The drinks are really cheap and the bar has an option of pints or 10 oz of draft beer. So, I highly recommend to check this place out if you actually want to see and meet the real folks of the Rockaways.

These aren't your average bar tables--they're tournament-grade, smooth, and play like a dream. Serious players will definitely appreciate the setup.

Staff was friendly, kept things running smoothly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back.

Service was quic=k and attentive despite the lunch rush (a couple of corporate events, it appeared). The Garden Margarita was a tasty, "healthy" alternative to a standard margarita; the frozen mojito was a nice drink option too. The grilled chicken sandwich was very tender and juicy, with a delicious slaw on top. The Beach Hot Dog was served with kimchi slaw, but the dog (a Pat LaFrieda dog, no less) was sadly a bit mealy. Perhaps a little more time on the grill was needed. Overall, a decent meal in a beautiful beachy setting a block from Rockaway Beach.

Best day ever. Highly recommend. Pool could have been a little warmer but we enjoyed it.read more

The reason for me writing this post is to appreciate the level of care and concern for safety of all patrons that the staff has. I won't write out the entire thing, but on one occasion I was being followed/had someone not leave me alone. Mike, Tom and (another) Mike made sure that the guest left and kept me safe while he was leaving. They made sure that the unruly guest didn't see me leave or follow me, and got him to leave me alone while I was at the bar. Its great to see a group of people that put the safety of their guests at the forefront of their business even if it is a busy Sunday Night. Also, drinks are on point, and while they don't serve food, they are always open to you ordering/eating outside food at the bar while you have a drink!
