“This was the first time I had been to Rippers in eight years and it is still as good as it was in 2015. The burgers are so flavorful and juicy and came with a special sauce with cheese, lettuce and tomato. It tasted so good. The Fries were topped with salt, pepper and spices. They really have a great flavor and really don't need ketchup. The one thing is that they give you a very generous portion and are perfect for sharing. The view of the shore is amazing and it is nice to hear the waves crashing while you are eating. It puts you in the mood and you can just relax.“
“Great local bar with a very large selection of beers and delicious food cooked to order. All kinds of great bands on different nights of the week. They have fire pits in the back in a covered area with large screen televisions and exceptionally friendly staff. If you're in town in Rockaway Beach, definitely a place to stop by and have fun with friends.“
“The prices are super cheap. Bartenders are always friendly they have a jukebox and vending machine and sometimes they cater food. The game nights (connect4, cards, chess, checkers, dominoes and video games) are absolutely fun. Brother Rob always makes sure everyone has a good time!“

“Great place to have a drink at good prices and you can bring your own food from nearby restaurants to eat inside or back beer garden. Booked accommodation for family with Mike and he gave excellent service and a great deal for a longer stay. Highly recommend contacting Mike for hotel and event bookings as he cares about his customers and business.“
“The Broadway Tavern is a place tucked away in Malverne and is a great place for people to meet and socialize. They have many different events every week to keep everyone happy. The outdoor garden is a hidden gem where you can hold family gatherings and have a great time. They have great entertainment on weekends and provide the best in service. Malverne should be pleased to have such a great establishment!“
“Was there Monday for happy hour. Buy one get one free appetizers is a great deal, can't take leftovers with you, understandable. The Ahi tuna and fish tacos were large portions and delicious. Johanna the bartender was friendly and attentive. The gentleman (dougie?) who came on after her I can not say the same about, he was rude and unfriendly and talked poorly about the previous bartender and a waitress in front of customers.“
“The wings are banging and the sandwiches are a good size so make sure you're hungry. Plus they have mozzarella sticks and corn poppers that everyone loves. And the drinks flow great. Very friendly atmosphere and great place to have a party.“
“Our GO TO pub in Baldwin. It's like walking into Cheers Bar - everyone knows your name and you are greeted with a hug and a smile. Shay is just the BEST and the staff is simply amazing. We love watching games, listening to the bands and playing trivia on Thursday night. Just a GREAT hometown place to hang!!!“
“This was my first visit to JPs. I thought it was great! Nice place to sit and unwind. I played a little Quick Draw and drank my drink. Mind u not shy with the alcohol. The bartender Luisa was just the sweetest woman! U could tell she really loves her job. Very attentive and accommodating. I also tried their food. I had fried zucchini sticks and mild buffalo wings. They came out piping hit, watch your mouth, lol. Luisa makes the marinara for the zucchini sticks. Delicious!! Also the night I was there they had live rap performances from local rappers, that was fun too. All and all I would recommend JPs to anyone looking for a great night out! I will definitely go again. They also make pizza, gotta go back at least to try that. Thanks to Luisa for making my first night out in a long time a great one!!“
“A nice local spot with great staff and friendly clientele. This forum was used by 3 people who came in and appeared to be looking to complain about something to cause a ruckus or get free stuff for complaining. I was there and their attitude was apparent. All 3 of them should be ashamed of themselves these haters reviews should be removed! This is not the place for being petty and spiteful. Their reviews are FR, MLP and EL. People like them should be banned before they damage other people's businesses!“
“Stopped by today to have a drink while my wife was at dentist. An old and quaint neighborhood bar that reminded me of a place I frequented years ago. There was a fellow that asked my name and bought me a drink. Don't know his name but he was drinking Jameson with an oj on the side. Cheers to you.“
“So this place is a neighborhood pub with surprisingly good food, well poured drinks, and a nice draft beer selection. The crowd is a mixed bunch of folks from all walks of life and friendly. It has been here a long time and is a popular hangout for good reason.“
“Great food and drinks. The presentation of the dishes are also very appealing. The staff is professional and thoughtful. The music is also a good volume as you can still talk and hear it. TVs are on at the bar for entertainment as well. Clean bathroom and overall establishment. Management is visible and the vibe is cool.“
“I'm a huge fan of small town bars. Love this place and the Vibes it carries with it. Something about uncommercialized bars that I love. They have a pool table which isn't the best but definitely does the job. Pool is $2 a game. They have cheap beers in tap and also had UFC on which is a huge plus.“
“WOW!WOW!WOW! Best burgers ever! The two sliders were huge and shareable because we ordered the mussels. One of the best mussels I have ever had! They are swimming in an extremely flavorful broth that was taken home to use with pasta and shrimp the next evening! That was incredible too! The restaurant is small but was cozy. Arrive early so you don't have a long wait. (absolutely worth it if you do). Raquel is the best! She is welcoming, friendly and lovely to chat with. She is very busy but she makes you feel at home and like you are dining with your best friend. She makes visiting a lovely experience. I lived in the area for many years and it took me moving away to finally come here. What a mistake on my part! I plan on making this one of my Must go to spots whenever I am back in the neighborhood!“
“Where to start? Shines is hands down the best bar in the West End! Staff is great; always available for a conversation a laugh and a good time. 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!“
“Here's the thing. This is an Irish dive bar above a subway station in queens. It's old school. It's cash only. It's quiet. If you know what I'm talking about its five star. If you are looking for something else, keep looking.“
“The Bartenders are nice & down to earth people, especially Kerri who is excellent. I always enjoy the vibe of the other people who come to the bar too. Very good atmosphere and very clean. I drink there from time to time and they serve a good variety of drinks there.“
“Nice local spot and the owner is cool as Ice.. If you're looking for a nice strong drink, dont hesitate to go here, you will be more than happy. Crowd is 30+. Weekends it gets busy so go early. They are mindful of capacity especially with the pandemic.“
“I definitely recommend this place. It’s a great place to grab a bite after the beach. Food was delicious and can’t wait to go back for Dinner…. Try it you’ll love it… Only down side is it seems to be a New York Ranger fan base bar / restaurant, (Islander fan here)but I’ll let it go because it’s that good. Let me also say service was great, waitress had a great personality. Thank you and will be back….“
