5 Best Cocktail Bars near Wading River

“Had a great dinner with friends last night. Service was the best ever and food was excellent! One of the few restaurants we’ve been to that don’t add a credit card fee to your check so we will be back! I gave it a 4 star for atmosphere only because I am not a fan of ultra contemporary decor because it lacks warmth and coziness and I remember that feeling of the ‘ol 2 x 4 restaurant from years past.“

“For a vegan, nothing much to choose from without modifying menu options. Servers were polite and ready to help. Music was a bit too loud, but patrons seemed to really enjoy the place.Vegetarian options: Needs expanding and more creativity. So many restaurants now have a Beyond burger, salads without cheese/egg, etc.Kid-friendliness: Kids not offered activity like coloring page/crayons, doesn't seem children-oriented.“

“Im really thinking more 3.5, but I'll be generous today. First...Yaphank, who knew! Don't know much about this area even though I've lived in Holbrook/Ronkonkoma for some of my life. When my friend came in from Florida she asked to meet here being it wasn't far from where her family lived. I had no idea how built up the area was. And a brewery on top of that, whoa! Southpaw has a really nice space with that industrial feel. You know how breweries be. Minimalistic but with huge focal points like big casks or barrels of beer. Here, what I first noticed was the big pizza oven. Yes they offer a wide selection of pizza and even offer a gluten free crust. More on that later though. Their menu is great and features everything from small plates like the charcuterie stuffed pretzel or deep fried duck wontons to sandwiches, of course pizza and full fledge entrees like meatloaf and "Grandma's Lasagna". We opted for 2 pizzas given my friend has a gluten intolerance, and they offered that gluten free crust. Both the burrata and pulled pork pizza were amazing even though they couldn't be more different. The crust itself was good but I'm also excited to try their regular one when/if I get back here. The service was good, and I really felt it for our server as she was slammed with quite a few tables including a huge one. She was apologetic but she had no reason too because she did great. And this is a brewery so let's finally talk drinks. I started out with their Blueberry Gin Sour. It was listed on one of the menus but not on one at our table. Come to think about it, there were different menus all over the place so it was a tad confusing. But I got my Blueberry Gin Sour and to my dismay, I did not like it. It tasted very earthy, which could have been the bitters. I've never had bitters taste like that. I followed it with one of their beers. I want to say it was the Hazy or Mandala IPA. I ask for something on the citrusy side and our server nailed it. It really was a nice night and a great place for us to go to with my friend being back in town. One of the managers asked if he can buy us a round if we moved over to the bar so we can free up the table for a group. We were on our way out anyways so we just went on our way.“

“I recently had my baby shower at the Broadway market and couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out! The space is adorable and it’s set up easily for any decor you may want to bring in. Heather was awesome to work with, she shared ideas with me and was extremely accommodating! The food was incredible and the cake was fantastic. I would highly recommend the Broadway market for any event!“

“Really fun distillery with the nicest staff and a beautiful environment! My friends and I split 3 tastings and really enjoyed some of the spirits (the Rough Rider rye bourbon and the sorbettas). Some of the others were a bit too strong to enjoy straight. But overall a really cool place to visit!“
