Food was delicious,band was great. The server was friendly and very knowledgeable. Gave great suggestions.

Perfect Spring day! All doors and windows were open out on to Main Street. Made for perfect people watching. We got there before the dinner rush. I always get their chicken noodle soup no matter what time of year and it didn't disappoint! read more

Ambiance is weak. Service is slow. Worse than if a quadriplegic was asked to wait on me. There were also roaches in there and my food tasted like wet socks. Awful experience, would not recommend read more

While seemingly to be primarily a Sports Bar, the restaurant and bar offers opportunities for extra entertainment. There is usually live music or a DJ on Friday and Saturday nights. Breakfast is available on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9AM until noon. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday until 7PM with some half priced specials for certain beers, wine, and drinks available. There are also some appetizers available for half price. Check with your server, the specials do change. The waitstaff service is very good and food is also very good. There are healthy options available which you do not always find at a bar. You can also ask for grilled chicken instead of fried chicken on most menu items. For the Sports Bar part, there are game specials available and televisions occupying the walls in the bar and dining room area. Overall, a good place to watch a game, enjoy a happy hour, get a good meal, or a night out on the weekend. read more

Village Idiot Pub - Patchogue - Just a bunch of village idiots - Sports Bars Near Me - Patchogue, New York

I have been a patron of this bar for many years, during their times of mismanagement I have given them benefit of doubt, but after my experience tonight, I feel their chances have been run dry. Nick, the "manager"/bartender, on more than one occasion, has been outwardly spoken on his disagreements on people of other colors bartending in the town of Patchogue, as well as their involvement in town fundraising. He has gotten over served and exposed druken opinions on the town, other bars, as well as people from other ethnicities than himself. I'm disappointed in the behavior as a whole from the village idiot Patchogue staff themselves today, especially as this has been an on going situation, I have observed over the past two years. I am saddened to say as a customer that has visited this establishment at least once a week, after this evening, I will no longer give my business here. read more

Foods a joke. Steak sandwich? Bread barely toasted, steak not seasoned and over cooked. Fries are the frozen crinkle ones you can get from Costco for you kids. What a joke. I wouldn't come back if the food was for free. Who ever runs this place, wake up. read more

Great upscale bar food and comfortable eating section separated from the bar area. I had the tuna tacos which were very good, be careful of the wasabi spice! The sampler appetizer was great too. read more

First of all, let me start by saying we always loved going to this restaurant. I don't know when and what changed, but we went there last week and we had to wait over an hour to get water!!! We cancelled our drink order and questioned when we could expect our food, the waitress apologized and we told her we had a concert to go to shortly. Well 15 minutes later our "food" arrived. My friend's soup was cold, my burger and fries were cold and inedible. I will not go back, it was a horrible experience. They should have paid US for putting up with that terrible service and food. read more

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend and my stepdad. We started with the stoopid sampler to share. It had wings, mini chicken tacos, mozzarella sticks, fried pickles and onion rings. Nice variety and everything was tasty. For my meal I had the ahi tuna wrap. It had ahi tuna, avocado, mixed greens, wasabi mayo & teriyaki drizzle. It was very good! I got sweet potato fries instead of regular fries. They were good. My boyfriend had the Bavarian burger. It was topped with sautéed onions and beer cheese. He said it was really good. He said it had so much cheese that he ended up having cheese fries. So much cheese is never a problem. My stepdad had the groovin Reuben sandwich. It had sliced corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut & Russian dressing on toasted rye. He said it was good. He did however say that his fries were undercooked. Service was good. We will be back! read more

Bridget is the best bartender. She really knows how to work the bar. Kicked me out tho

Great place to stop in for a drink or even a bite to eat. Great music on the weekends. Great Crowd

Went for brunch yesterday, in our quest to try something new. Had a delicious Ketel one Bloody Mary. Just the right amount of spice from the horseradish. I loved it. This was followed by a Belgium Waffle, perfectly done and chicken tenders ( a tad dry). Hubs had Idiot platter, bacon ( a bit under cooked for his liking but fine for me), 3 sausage links (he liked those a lot), sliced ham, eggs cooked the way he likes and pancakes. The platter also had home fries that he did not care for at all, said they tasted off. It was a huge plate of food and he was stuffed. I would definitely return, loved the homemade Bloody Mary and hubs would take a pass. To each their own. But it's my review so 4 stars it is! Rarely do you find a good scratch made Bloody Mary! read more

Love the food here!! Probably get take out more often than visiting actual location, but the take out burger & fries never disappoints! Never get soggy fries or a messed up order. I appreciate that a lot read more

Just kind of a dumpy dive bar with lots of fried food and crazy sugary drinks as well as beer.

I figured I could at least get a decent beer and a laugh at Idiots Pub, but nope. The selection was weak, and the bartender was less interested in serving drinks than debating obscure foreign policy from the Nixon era. If that's your idea of a good time, go for it, but I won't be back. They are a disservice to all immigrants in the Patchogue and NY area. read more

Village Idiot Pub - Patchogue - Sports Bars Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Just realized I never reviewed this place. It's one of my favorite spots to visit when looking for a casual night out with the kids. Always a great beer selection and their menu is enormous. They do everything well. Nothing stands out at all, certainly not a gourmet spot but their fare is definitely better than the average pub food. My favorite is the "Sweet Chicky" sandwich. Get the waffle fries, they're yummy. The staff is always accommodating if not always very well polished. Parking in Patchogue is always a nightmare but that comes with the territory so I'm not deducting stars for that. If you're going to bring the kids come early in the evening because it gets loud and a little rowdy sometimes at night. Overall, it's a nice place that lets me still feel like I'm going for an evening out at the bar and feel just fine letting the kids tag along. Extra star because the beer is always ice cold and fresh and they always have a New York Ranger friendly crowd. read more

Another top spot in Patchogue. I am very happy to enjoy my time off with my buddy and have a few drinks and some food. The bartender was a Marine like me and Nick was a great bartender....He was a gentleman and recommended a nice bottle for me for a Manhattan. I loved it and can't wait to get it now for my bar. Thank you. Try the amazing lobster roll sliders w fries. Soooo good. Semper Fi Nick.... read more

Why is the service always so terrible?! The atmosphere/ music / food is great. Literally at the bar right now trying to order food and drinks with 1 bartender and 9 people at the bar 5 in my group. Guess I will eat at home...... read more

Good food, good staff , fun atmosphere... we often go there for there themed holiday breakfasts for the kids. I had a delicious turkey club with avocado. It could have had more meat. Just another update...took the kids for the water bunny breakfast.. great bloody Mary's and of course I had the California TBLT. It's a lot of bread but in the morning all the different items on it was delicious. The home fries are good and crispy. read more

It's Football Sunday & I wanted to order some food while watching the AFC & NFC Championship games. We looked and we came across The Village Idiot. There were so many good menu items that it was actually hard to finally decide what we wanted. We went with an order of traditional Buffalo wings. Those were very good, not any better or any worse than wings I've had from a pub style restaurant. We ordered the American Chicken Sandwich, which is chicken cutlet, bacon & American cheese. Super simple and super delicious and came with crinkle fires. I feel like crinkle fries are so underrated, you barely see them anywhere (maybe only White Castle?). We also ordered the Diablo Wrap, which had grilled chicken, rice, avocado, provolone, onions and chipotle sauce. This was also very good. The chipotle sauce had a nice kick. We called for delivery, and sometimes this can not make the food experience the best as it could be. A handful of times I've experience soggy bread or fries, but not with The Village Idiot. Everything was fresh and both the bread and fries were on point. I can't wait to go there in person because I know it will be even better. read more

Had the sliced steak sandwich. Which had crispy onions on a hero. That's it, no cheese...was too plain. While the steak was okay, a bit of mozzarella would have made it so much better, and for $23 with some fries was not a value. Service was good. The restroom was an adventure...smelled bad and the urinal had something in it that could very well have been vomit. I went to wash my hands, and pushed the soap dispenser only to have it dispense up on my arm. Went to turn on the faucet and it wobbled around and produced no water. With no towels available I rubbed the soap into my hands and dried them with the electric dyer. Beer was good and cold but I won't be coming back. read more

**Bar Review** Came by on a Sunday afternoon fairly busy but no worries there were three bartenders working. All who were very nice. Fairly sized bar as well and plenty of seating, decent beer selection. After having lunch at Rhum we had some drinks here and a pretzel. Pretzel was great with just $1 more for cheese. The cheese was hot and spicy. I look forward to coming back and trying some entrees. read more

I JUST WANT TO KNOW??!! I visited my sister this past weekend on Saturday and decided to go out to some bars/clubs in Patchogue. I am from New Jersey and have never had an issue with my ID; not to toot my horn but I am an attractive, 30 year old female. I was not intoxicated or anything of the sort., i was with a group of 5 girls looking to have fun (we are literally bringing you business) i was shocked when the bouncer didn't let me in, and had a nasty attitude that was uncalled for. The interaction was literally: Bouncer: "Show me your ID" Me: "ok, here ya go." Bouncer: "I don't feel comfortable letting you in, No." Me: Shocked...."...are you the owner?" Bouncer: "No" Me: "Well what is the reason i cant go in? I've been everywhere on this street and haven't had a problem". Bouncer: "I don't care, your'e not getting in. You are a liability." Me: "Ummm WHAT?!, i don't get it". Bouncer: Giving me a terrible attitude "i don't care, i don't have to explain myself to you, bye". I was MAD, why? Because I've never had this happen to me in my LIFE. I just wanted to know the reason out of curiosity. I was going to go back the next day to inquire, but why not just write a review? Anyway maybe i just had bad luck, or THE VILLAGE IDIOT WAS THE BOUNCER. I DON'T KNOW. Ridiculous.....I will never go to that place again, THEY WONT LET ME IN ANYWAY BECAUSE IM FROM NEW JERSEY LOL!!! read more

Went to Patchogue, on Monday on MLK day for brunch. The popular places were packed. Walked down the block to the Village Idiot, not busy seated right away. Had a great breakfast Huevos Rancheros, coffee was hot and fresh. Well worth the price for the meal. Ciao for now read more

I had a basic cheeseburger yesterday for dinner and it was the only thing of substance I had all day besides a small bit of pasta with butter for lunch.... I now have food poisoning and one of the worst stomachaches I've ever had. The burger wasn't even that good I should've known the second I took the first bite. It wasn't undercooked or anything like that but it was a basic frozen patty like something you would get at a concert or stadium... I understand that this could have happened to anyone, I would just not take that risk again for a mediocre burger. read more

I try my best to avoid Patchogue because it's just not the greatest place since all of the changes, but if i'm in the area i'll always stop at the village idiot for a few beers and some of their great food. The Idiot is the one place in Patchogue that still feels like Patchogue. I would highly recommend trying the buffalo wings (best around) or the surf and turf special which is filet mignon and jumbo shrimp with mashed potatoes... now I know you're thinking it's a bar that can't be great, but I assure you it is. The staff are great, friendly and always up for some good conversation! Check it out read more

Village Idiot Pub - Patchogue - The Village Idiot - Sports Bars Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Hi Yelper friends and welcome to Patchogue Village. I Used to live in Patchogue Village for many years. Stopping back, I loved experiencing the resurgence in the community. The entire town is so vibrant and alive. I was having lunch with my friend Ken who I have not seen in awhile. It was great to stop back to one of my old haunts,The Village Idiot Pub. Kenny really wanted to come here despite the many other options available to us in Patchogue Village. No worries Village Idiot is fine by me. We decided to sit at the bar as the place was pretty much empty, bar area showed some sign of life and I love eating at the bar. Our barmaid was prompt to greet and serve us. She was courteous and right on point. She made sure to tell us about the lunch specials which included soup or Salad. This sounded great to us. First up was a nice cold beer, as I had been hours on the road. Our beer's are nice and cold. Let the afternoon's festivities begin. First stop on our much-anticipated lunch was the cheesy, creamy, hot and wonderful French onion soup, it was our best choice here of the day. A few more people walked into the bar and it started to get a little busy, great don't want to have lunch in a ghost town. Our lunches came out quickly within 10 minutes. I Immediately noticed that my medium-rare Burger was cooked medium well, was a lesson to me sometimes you have to order your burger rare to get it medium rare. I guess that is the case here but the burger was hot and juicy anyway, no reason to send it back. Kenny is Italian through and through so he was really picky on the meatball parmesan, said it was average and not fantastic but certainly enjoyable and edible. Our french fries included with our lunches were the average standard bar shoestring fries, but they were certainly hot and crispy. Really hungry we inhaled our lunches rather quickly, the crisp cold Heineken beers complimented the sweltering hot 90-degree summer day today. No room for dessert it was so kind for our server to ask. Now certainly satisfied it was time for an enjoyable stroll around Saturday afternoon Patchogue Village. Ken and I enjoyed our Saturday lunch at The Village Idiot pub however they were a few small noticeable bumps. I was a bit disappointed having my burger overcooked, it was the Cornerstone of my lunch today. But no worries. The thing that kind of upset us was that our server did not mention the Village idiots save $10 ..Yelp Deal to us ?? She certainly knew that I was yelping as I mentioned it to her and was taking pictures of our food. Yelp deals are great and I need to take advantage of every one available. We want to return here next Saturday and enjoy the outside courtyard..and to be sure to take advantage of the Yelp deal. read more

Came here on sunday early eve for dinner. I felt like yummy bar food. Crowd was very mixed. All ages and ethnicities. The bar are was fairly busy with a young rowdy crowd near the window. Ok. We got the disco fries, sampler, and meathead burger. Disco fries came in large portion but had a strange aftertaste like something was cooked in the oil before. The sampler was not very good. First off, there was literally a puddle of oil on the dish from the fried pickles. They were saturated. Paper-thin pickles. The wings i asked for extra crispy and came out sorta crispy. The buffalo sauce has black pepper in it, beware fellow pepper haters. Onion rings had way too much batter- it was like eating crispy mush. The mini tacos tasted like refried beans and looked like they came straight out of the freezer section of a grocery store. My husband thought the roll overpowered his burger. He reported it was very bland. Overall i would not come back :( read more

The food was good, but my food came out 15 minutes later than the other people I was with. All I ordered was a rare hamburger!! I also never got my soup and my friend never got her salad. The waiter was very rude and the manager was even worse. The waiter never checked on us and would have liked another drink. There are plenty of other restaurants on this block. I suggest you go there. read more

This place has a great vibe. The waitress was attentive and service was quick. We ordered their coconut margarita and it was great! We were only gonna have one each but couldn't resist and ended up ordering a second one each! It was delicious! The veggie quesadilla was awesome . Just wished it were a more hot and spicier seasoning to it but it was still cheesy just like I like it too ! Thought the ceiling jameson bottles chandelier was cute ! read more

Food use to be some good. Service was awful, we are sat right away that the waitress disappeared. We finally put in our order with an order of wings, some drinks and a sandwich and a pasta dish. The wings were brought to the table, however we had no plates or napkins to eat the wings. I waited several minutes and then walked to the bar to find someone to get me plates. The bartender was not there. I then started walking to the back of the dinning area and the entire staff was hanging out playing on their phones. They were annoyed I bothered them for some plates and napkins. The wings were amazing, which I didn't have to find my own plates and napkins. I order a beer that was complete flat. It was so bad I couldn't even drink it, the waitress took it off the bill at the end. Even though she acknowledged she gave me the last beer and it was probably bad. My pasta dish had chewy grilled chicken, in the dish. Definitely not what I was expecting out of this location that once had amazing food & dinning experience. Probably got food poisoning last night from the chicken. Was looking for a delicious meal in town and was completely let down Unfortunately due to this service & dinning experience probably won't be going back even though this was one of our favorite places in the past. Unsure of what has happen in the past couple months since we came here last year but something happened for the worst at this location. read more

If I were to rate this place solely on breakfast, it would get another star...but since there's more giong on here, I can't bring myself to do that. Their breakfast is AMAZING! For a while there I was finding myself here every Sunday to have the corned beef eggs benedict. It's fresh corned beef, not that dog food you get in a can.. and the eggs are pefectly poached *drool* plus it's served with a side of home fries which are crispy and sesasoned deliciously. I've come out here on the weekends and it just tends to not be my kind of crowd, their craft beer selection is limited, and there just isn't enough space with the large tables and the bar to do anything but huddle with your friends and shout over the music. read more

Village Idiot Pub - Patchogue - Pot of Gold! Perfect breakfast for parade day! - Sports Bars Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Based off my handful of experiences at the Idiot, I'd have to say, while they've gotten much better and cleaned their act up, its hard for me to give any sort of glowing review. I've found some good stuff, particularly the cute bartender pouring me a badass Bloody Mary and the bangin' breakfast but, I have also had quite a few bad experiences; undercooked fries, dried out pulled pork, cold burger, douchey crowd. Maybe I'm the idiot, i think their breakfast is dope, but hate every other aspect of the place. I'd like to be positive but they are just way too inconsistent. The place looks great now and they do seam to be cleaner than they were... Try it out for yourself, but I can't confidently give them a recommendation, as much as I'd like to. If you like them, great, you will fit in with all the other drones, enjoy. read more
