SomePlace Else - West Islip, New York

Eileen Lenehan

Thus is a local town Tavern. We ask for I.D. as per N.Y. State Law. A service animal, as with any requires a leash. To protect said animal, as well as the General Public. We do not have any infestation of any kind, as you can see, we have a 98% health rating. As well as being in the top 10 of cleanest bars. We welcome everyone but we don't tolerate drama, aggressive behavior or drunken nonsense. We apologize for anyone who has felt otherwise and look welcome another chance for you to feel welcome.

the most god awful experience. my family and i walked in… ( we were the only customers in the entire place). it took over an hour for food and when the food finally came out, it came out one at a time. now i know why this place had 3 owners in the past year. i wouldn’t feed my dog food from that place.

Wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I found this place by accident one day. So last night we finally went down walking in you feel like you are transported elsewhere. We compared it to the feel of bar in a small town. Joe was the bartender on duty last night, definitely a friendly guy and made us feel right at home but introducing himself and asking our names. We also got to meet one of the owners Mark who was also a very nice gentleman making sure we were enjoying ourselves. This will definitely be a place we will be coming back to.

Cute dive bar with posters and signs on the walls. Great bartenders. Karaoke on Friday night with DJ Jeff. It's a must attend ☺️

Gotta love a good dive bar. Bartender was a sweetheart.

Have been here several times after. With no reasons left to go again. This place will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the best worst local only places.

This place is a dive!!! Karaoke on Fridays, it's a mixed bag of people. If dive bar world doesn't bother you have fun. If you're not used to certain types of people don't even bother walking in. Got to Farrell's across the street for family fun.

I expected a dive bar but this place is something else. I called ahead to notify them about my service dog, the bartender who was very sweet, told me it was no problem. Upon arrival and getting my first drink in my hand the owner comes out screaming at me that I'm not controlling my animal. Forget the Americans with disabilities act, not even common courtesy applies here. There's plenty of nice authentic bars in Babylon, "someplace else" is not one of them.

I went to this establishment last night. Unfortunately this is my second time writing this review bc my last one disappeared. We came here to celebrate my coworkers 30th birthday; a retreat if you will. Prior to stepping in here we went to 3 different places, bar crawling trying the scenery in West Islip. This was our last spot because they offered karaoke on a Friday night which we couldn’t pass on. Every single one of us(9 guests) except one, provided very easy identification. The one exception misplaced her ID earlier in the day. That being said she went through the trouble of replacing her ID through the DMV, gathered a photo ID of herself and had a birth certificate + CC information available to make sure this wasn’t an issue upon entry. The ‘owner’ of the restaurant, an elderly woman in her 50s to 60s, red hair, had some very choice words with our group having to deal with our frustration due to 1 our 9 being denied entrance. Having dealt with customer service over the last 10 years, this one woman should be ashamed with the way she uses her authority to conduct business with anyone. Bouncers shouldn’t have to tell me “she has one too many” to get over poor hospitality.
