I am utterly disgusted by the situation myself and my friend were put in last night by the staff of The Nutty Irishman. Upon entering the front of the bar was empty except for one other person. The back was semi closed off to an event going on. The woman’s room in the front was closed so I was told to use the bathroom in the back, through the party (which just happened to be a police precinct party). After getting one drink each we decided it was time to go and had to use the bathroom again. As we are walking to the back bathroom, because once again the front one was blocked off, we were stopped by security and told we could not use the bathroom due to a private party…the bathroom I just used. He then proceeded to escort us out of the bar and into a closed bakery next door. All the lights were off and the chairs were up on the tables. I was directed to the bathroom in the back corner of the restaurant. As I exited the bathroom I demanded to speak to a manger because that situation is completely absurd. I was then told they weren’t sure she was there when I knew she was because this decision was made in about 25 minutes from when I used the bathroom prior. When I was greeted by the manager, Catherine, she approached me smiling and laughing as if my concern was crazy. I explained to her that in no circumstance should a male security guard be escorting two woman out of the open bar and into a closed down bakery to use the bathroom. I was laughed at and told that I could have turned the lights on and that nothing would have happened to us. What a privilege to have no understanding of the horrible things that can and have happened to woman in similar situations to this one. When asking for the number of someone above her I was told this was public knowledge and once again laughed at. I looked at the security guard and told him he should have never allowed himself to be put in that position and I honestly feel he did not want to do it and felt pressure from the manager Catherine. All she needed to do was be a little understanding of the horrible situation that had just went on but she was nasty and unprofessional.With this being said after my anger passed I was incredibly sad because I am a strong willed 31 year old who was not drunk and all I can think is if this situation happened to a more vulnerable girl and with a security guard that had bad intentions things could have went so differently, in the worst way.Do better as not only a business but as human beings!

They have line dancing every Tuesday. There is a lesson usually around 8pm on nights with no band. DJ Neil is amazing. If you are looking for a good spot to line dance. This is it.

This place is great. Just walked in for a drink or two, might've been 3. I'm not sure about their food. So I can't comment on that. The beer selection was good. We walked in around 9ish, and a live band was playing on a Saturday night. Music was good, definitely room for dancing. Live DJ afterward. I'm in my 50s, so just a word of caution. Around 11 o'clock, a herd of 20 something yr olds start pouring in. Other than that, good time if you are in the mood to party for a bit.

Went on Halloweekend. Extremely busy, but even while having to wait a while, the drinks were great, not super expensive. Dancing was fun, they had a live band and then a DJ rest of the night.

All in all, a good time. Free drink offered for your birthday was a nice touch. The DJ and then live band did a great job providing the music, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect. A bit of a younger crowd but definitely a good spot in Farmingdale. Drinks were strong so worth the price.

It was my first time at this bar for an engagement party and let me just say, this is a great space to have an event. I was skeptical at first but I love that it didn't look, smell or feel like a dive bar. It can easily accommodate at least 80 people, the true count you'll have to get from them. The layout of the room has the bar at the center. They also have a stage that had a drum set setup while we were there. However, I can see other types of events being able to be held there..... from open mics to small talent showcases. And the big plus, there's lots of parking in the back. Great addition being in a busy area.Finger foods were served. From Buffalo wings, antipasto platter, pigs in a blanket, shrimp cocktail, burgers and brisket sandwich. EVERYTHING tasted great.....but my fave was the brisket sandwich. The bartender was awesome and made great drinks!Most importantly, the staff was awesome. A nice friendly crew that was pleasant, attentive and accommodating. That alone would make me go back even the food was subpar. Great service is everything!!! Add the Nutty Irishman to your list of event spaces. You have everything under one roof in a great package versus renting an event hall and having everything catered and delivered. I'll definitely be back......event or not lol
