The Long Island Bar

With its Art Deco bar and red-and-cream booths , original terrazzo floors, and acoustical-tile ceiling, “Long Island Bar has a casual authenticity that starts with the neon and continues inside.” Read more

Brunch on Sunday's only! Get the burger or the egg sandwich (obviously with the bacon wheel). Both uses a soft toasted brioche bun and comes with unbelievably crisp fries (a little salty but whatevs)

Comfort food and cocktails executed perfectly (and unpretentiously). One of the best burgers I've ever had, plus fried cheese curds . #FoursquareFind

What a gem. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails (although the white negroni was my favorite). The cheese curds , trout roe , and burger were all delicious. I can't wait to come back.

Loving the 1950's ambiance. Fully expecting Biff Tanner to walk through the door and offer me a knuckle sandwich . Recommend the bourbon old fashioned - served proper with one giant ice cube.

Lucky Peach : "The edible stuff is too good to call 'bar food.' Like the cheese curds , molten and crisp, or the french fries . There’s also an excellent hamburger . And yes, the drinks are very good."

Classic, no-fuss, old-school spot with very good cocktails (Dolores Del Rio, The Erin), and very good food. You want the very good Long Island burger , which comes with very good fries .

Burger is amazing! Double patties and melted cheese and some bacon . Our new favorite in the neighborhood . French fries are kind of spicy , not the regular. I like that less but it’s a matter of taste

Chef Gabriel Martinez's attention to detail elevates regular pub grub to something sublime. The double-pattied burger , fries , reuben , and shaved Brussels sprouts make perfect late night munching. Read more

Carefully restored to its art deco glory, this spot reopened looking exactly how it must have in the 1940's. They pour a great cocktail and full kitchen opens mid-February. Order a Boulevardier . Read more

(Thrillist tip) Bar owner Toby Cecchini is best known for inventing the Cosmo , but won't find on the menu...post up w/a classic Boulevardier served in a coupe glass & one of the borough's best burgers

50's style diner decor that serves up good cocktails . Try the Old Fashioned. It's good. 2in clear ice cubes get me every time.

The vibe, cocktails , staff ...pretty well put together establishment. Their Jameson, and beer selection is very on point. Try the cocktails . Delicious.

Housed in a silver-sided diner , The Long Island Bar is Toby Cecchini’s old-fashioned love letter to Brooklyn. Classic cocktails come with plenty of endearing attitude in wide, swirling coupes. Read more

a fine retreat! elegant cocktails with a clarity of composition and intent. nostalgic decor has a relaxed vibe that's managed to withstand the onslaught of poseurs, which come with greater popularity.

Great neighborhood cocktail bar . Straightforward drink menu. Solid bartenders . The gimlet is great, though very tart . Not a scene yet, but that'll change once the word gets out.

I have never been to a bar in NYC (possibly anywhere) where the staff was so kind. And, oh yeah, their drinks are top notch. This is the bar of dreams.

Must order: the Boulevardier . Din: The trout or merguez . When you draaaank too much: Amaze fries & The Long Island "bar".

The drink menu is the brainchild of Cecchni whose famous for pioneering the Cosmopolitan at the Odeon in the 80's, are perfectly straightforward and classic. Read more

They serve up classy classic cocktails at 12 bucks a pop. LI Gimlet packs a punch. They are still looking for a chef to run their kitchen but anticipate food service to begin in Feb. Here's hoping!

Get the double patty, you won’t regret it. Single is too little meat for the bun

Best negroni I’ve ever tasted!

This place is a gem but you knew that already. Don't be afraid to go off menu .

Great cocktails and menu with unexpected veggie options , like tasty buffalo cauliflower "wings " with blue cheese .

This place is like stepping into the 50s, in the best way possible. Order one of the many excellent cocktails .

excellent spot for cocktails . their Negroni is perfect.

What a gem of a place, with super fine cocktails , sleek bar , comfy booths and one helluva burger

The burger is solid, but the cheese curds and pina coladas are liiiiiit

Good service , nice setup, clean bathrooms , polite staff . Only con amongst all these pros was the drink I ordered - the espresso float was kind of strange and not as tasty as I'd hoped.

The burger is so good here! But those cheese curds will be on my mind for awhile.

Really great cocktails and surprisingly good food given the limited menu. Best boulevardier was had here.

???????? Ya gotta get the cheese curds . A must.

Left the interior exactly as I remember it being when I was growing up. nice restoration. Great cocktails ; can't wait for them to start serving food...

Classic, old school establishment. More than solid bar program.

Classic cocktails in a classy (but by no means pretentious ) setting...bartenders are some of the best in the biz.

Unique burger , worth getting if you're hungry. Also, make sure you get a cocktail .

Great cocktails . The gimlet is refreshing. Nice bar service .

The outside will have you expecting milk shakes and grilled cheeses , but jump inside and grab an old fashioned in an old school diner .

Good strong Manhattans , cozy booths . This place has character.

The food is good and plentiful, but about $4 too expensive per dish. Nice old time vibe, good staff .

The bartenders know how to make a martini . Also, they put a wheel of bacon on the burger . How can you go wrong?

Fantastic cocktails . They do a great old fashioned and sazerac

Nice bar . The design doesn’t disappoint. Vibes were kinda off though

A Frozen Cosmopolitan ?! Now we’re talking. (Stick with the burger , by the way: I wanted the pesto penne to be good but it was pretty bland.)

carrot salad and a LI Burger with a Boulevardier to sip on is a very fine meal.

Bar is buzzing. Good snacks to go with your cocktails

The trout was better than the burger . The drinks were perfect, as was the decor.

The tequila and chilli cocktail with passionfruit in it is basically unbeatable

100% get the Improved Pendennis Club. Unsure but this also might've been the burger I've ever experienced.

Great burger , negroni sbagliato, and fried cheese curds
