This is a great place if you like Long Island music, however, the music might be a bit loud if you just want to sit and enjoy a beer. There is now music every day. The service was pretty good. I almost never had to wait for the bartender to come to me even though he was the only one on in a crowded area. The beer selection includes their own creations (which are all pretty decent) and a few from Blue Point and Keegan; limited but high quality. The prices, however, cannot be beat: $3 pints.

A great place for a good brew, excellent food, and a friendly staff. The food was reasonable and creative. The beers were plenty and they had some fun guest brews, and the people were super friendly....what more could you ask for!

So I finally decided to come back to this place after a bad experience many years ago - I must say this place has become an excellent brewpub - it’s got a nice, cozy, town pub feel on the inside - the ultra-friendly staff just makes the place even more comfortable (our bartender was all smiles, and made a point of memorizing our names, even though she had no idea whether or not we’d ever come back - but, oh yes, we will) - the beer selection leans toward session ales, all of which I had were solid, but they also had a strong belgian ale on that was pretty good - the lunch menu is a tad more diverse than the dinner menu, especially if you’re a vegetarian, so I’d recommend this place for lunch and a few pints of session beer - overall a great, homey place, that seems to attract lots of return customers.

Well, my rating of this place is going to be a bit skewed. Went their last night with my gf and JoeMcPhee. We sit down, I order my drink - the Hurricane Kitty IPA and the guy next me says "good choice." Long story short I was sitting next to one of the owners and his wife. Also, the parents of Tom Keegan of Keegan Ales in Kingston, NY. Had a great time with them, saw the hops garden (a beer garden surrounded with hops which are harvested once a year and used in an IPA batch). Had 6 beers on tap (2 Blue Point) and one Keegan Ale in bottle. Blue Point brewes all their beer in the brewpub. The place itself is great, lots of exposed brick. A cover band came, and I love live music. I am not saying everyone will have as good a time las me and the beer is not worldly but definitlely a stop for any real beer hunter. The IPA is terrific and whenever they get their DIPA that should be tried.

this place is warm and friendly and the service is good but could be more professional. As for the beer - it’s gotten awfully better since the blue point brewery took over the beer. Had an ipa which was excellent.

Decent enough place. Big open space, lots of families when I was there, but I suspect it changes depending upon the day of the week and time of day. Very friendly and efficient service from Anne-Marie... she even remembered me from a week before, even though I only stopped in for a few minutes the first time through. Food was decent, pub grub and some actual good stuff. The beers were a mix of their own and Blue Point. About 8 different ones, but a bit too much emphasis on the lighter beers, but there isn’t much wrong with any of them. Worth stopping in.

I live close to the Brick House Brewery and it is a nice place to go and enjoy a micro-brew. I have not had all the beers on the board yet but there is still time. The food is good and the wings are a nice comfort food while sitting at the bar. They have a nice beer club option. I think the beer has gotten better since the Blue Point brewers have started helping out!

Just happened to find this place after visiting Blue Point. I tried all of the house beers they had on tap. As far as any other beers they carry, well I didn’t check. Historic building makes for a decent setting. They had 6 of their beers and 2 Blue Points on tap. I believe the bartender said that the bewer from Blue Point comes across the street to help brew their beers. Bartendern was friendly and attentive and the beers were decent.
