I took a day trip in the heat of summer to Fire Island via ferry. I brought 5 bottles of water and my refillable yeti. I walked from the pines to the grove and back. Naturally, I ran out of water. While waiting for the ferry, I stopped in to see if I could have a cup of water or if they, at the bar, could fill my bottle. They said NO. The manager was so snooty, as if he was looking down on me, an old man. Who denies a person water in the heat of summer? This place does. Avoid them like the plague.....

Great margarita while we wait for the water taxi!

Really nice atmosphere. The brunch menu is a little small, but the options are pretty good. My friends and I got a carafe of mimosas, they were $42 so not bad. There's basically a full bottle of prosecco and triple sec in it, so extremely strong for a good price. My brunch burger was pretty good, the burger was a little over cooked but overall good. The garlic fries are fabulously seasoned and very crispy so I loved them.

Depends on who you are and what you expect. Nearly everyone there appeared to be gay men in their 20s and 30s, and they almost all fulfilled the cliches you may have about them. I came there dressed as a woman and had hoped for the people there being ok with that (not gay though). While most didn’t care, some others made really nasty comments. I’m sure the same guys wouldn’t appreciate such comments about them in a bar primarily visited by straight people.

How the heck do you get hold of someone there? Every phone in every place is locked into the same account, and not one single person picks up a phone or calls you back. That is one effed up system of deflection. This is why I don't spend money anywhere in the Pines except the Pantry. Very weird indeed.

Fun place

I’f you ask for a water they give you a cup and send you to the bathroom to fill it up. Absolutely disgusting and repulsed.

How horrible is the staff? We all spend gobs of money over the summer but then to use the bathroom during the day they won’t let you.

The show was INCREDIBLE!!!! Shout out to the performers however the food was HORRIFIC!!! $25 for food and I wouldn't have paid $7 for that in the city because it was sooooo bad. I'll never eat here again.

DO NOT EAT HERE!! I know there aren't many choices here in the Pines but whatever you do avoid this place. Waiters are terrible, they don't know the specials and the food is lousy. There were four of us at dinner on a Thursday night. Most of the food was ok however one dish we had was lousy. It was the Mac and cheese, it wasn't good, it was oily and the cheese wasn't melted, no big deal it happens. We took 2 fork fulls and told the waiter we didn't want it. When the bill came they refused to take off the Mac and cheese. The waiter asked if we wanted to see the manager. We said we just wanted the Mac and Cheese taken off, so the manager came over and said because there were a few fork fulls missing, it was the owners policy not to issue a refund. Also the Mgr David was extremely rude. WHAT?? I hope I run into the owner PJ one day so I can ask him if it was worth losing 4 longtime customers over a lousy Mac and cheese. Our bill was over $250.00. I can't believe taking off one small dish was a problem. LIKE I SAID BEFORE AVOID THIS PLACE!! I will be letting all my friends and anyone that will listen know all about this. By the way they also were not capable of splitting the bill down the middle 2 ways. They kept ringing it up wrong.

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. My meal was served after the rest of the table had been served and finished their mediocre meals. Unfortunately the rosemary chicken was under cooked and inedible. These people are incompetent and dangerous.

Our orders were delivered about 20 minutes apart leaving my partner the opportunity to finish his meal before mine was delivered. My food finally delivered but the rosemary chicken was severely undercooked...... raw in fact. The server was slow and it took another 20 minutes to get the check.

Ok so to start, the brunch menu says 49.99 for an entree and "open bar." They fail to mention the alleged open bar is only bloody Mary's and mimosas. My friends and I all got the eggs Benedict and I have NEVER had such foul tasting eggs Benny in my life. I didn't even know you could mess that up. I'm usually very easy going about food but actually asked the waiter if I could switch it out for something else, being I barely ate it. He said no. Then, one of the drag queens took approximately 15 dollars out of my hand that I did not have out to tip. Someone actually went up to me after the show and told me he noticed she did that and was surprised. Super unprofessional.
