Better late than never with this backdated review--life has just been lifing! I finally made it to Artemis on July 22nd after fiending to go since January. There's actually a hilarious story behind why I went. I was originally supposed to have a date that night, but let's be real: you'd think a 61-year-old man would know better than to take a 47-year-old woman to Dave & Buster's. I canceled the night before, dolled myself up the day of, and decided to take myself out instead. Best decision ever. The joint is dimly lit. But your eyes wind up adjusting. It's got a great vibe. Definitely excellent for a date night. The bartenders here are absolute rockstars. I started with a Painkiller. Even though it's no longer on the menu, they whipped it up for me anyway--and hey, it definitely relieved my pain, lol! Next, I tried a Corpse Reviver just because it had absinthe in it. It was different, but I really enjoyed it. Naturally, I had to finish with my signature drink, a Cosmopolitan, because I am the Black Carrie Bradshaw of Long Island. And it did not disappoint. The eats: I got the charcuterie board--fancy and bougie, just like me--and wrapped up the night with the brownie à la mode for dessert. Drowning my troubles in sweets is a must when the Long Island dating pool is an absolute wasteland, lmao. Did I want to spend my night around teenagers, kids, and skee-ball? HELL NO! I wanted a grown-and-sexy speakeasy vibe, and Artemis delivered. 5/5 stars--would 100% recommend! read more

Artemis is a beautifully decorated restaurant with a great ambiance, and our waitress was friendly, attentive, and did a good job taking care of us. Unfortunately, the overall experience was mixed. The two-hour table limit felt unnecessarily restrictive, especially for a group of eight. We were split into two separate areas of the restaurant, and there didn't seem to be much willingness to accommodate us so we could sit together. The person checking us in was not particularly welcoming, which didn't make the best first impression. What really left a bad taste, though, was the manager's explanation that the two-hour limit is necessary because "turning tables" is how the restaurant makes money. While I understand the business reasoning, hearing it explained that way made the experience feel more transactional than hospitable. The biggest issue is that the time limit actually worked against the restaurant. Rather than staying for another drink and continuing our evening there, we ended up going somewhere else. For me, that defeats the purpose of creating a nice atmosphere if guests are being encouraged to leave before they're ready. Beautiful restaurant, good service from our waitress, but the rigid seating policy and the way it was handled would make me think twice about returning. read more

Went with the hubs for date night! It's adorable how you get in and absolutely gorgeous once inside. My only complaint is the seating- it's a little packed, I felt like I was sitting on top of the people next to me yet far away from my date with a coffee table between us. That aside, the drinks were delicious- a bit pricey, but it all felt very classy. It's a cute once in a blue moon date spot, I would recommend trying it at least once. read more

What an amazing speakeasy! It was neat how you get in and once inside it has a great atmosphere. The servers are very helpful and know the drinks and constantly came by to check if we needed anything. Then there are the drinks.. they were delicious and beautifully crafted. Highly recommend and I can't wait to go back! read more

Great experience! Make sure you grab a reservation, especially on weekends. The menu was well thought out and crafted. You'll find some items here you can't find anywhere else. Very dark but cozy inside. Bar stools were super comfy! Staff was kind. Will be back! read more

I know this is going to sound very pretentious, but I've been to my fair share of soeakeasies from fancy to hokey. I'm happy to say Suffolk County did me proud with a pretty chic spot. An industrial door by a brick wall is guarded by someone with a headset. We gave the name for our reservation and were given instructions for what to do upon entering (see video). We were seated in a back room, sharing a longer table with another party. Again, not mad about it. It's giving intimate. They also had a pretty great nonalcoholic menu. Our server steered me in the right direction with an elderberry drink and it was so yummy I downed them. Also, hats off to Station Yards for putting this place in. Hoping they keep a nice community thing going. read more

Such a cute place - the decor really takes you back in time - from the furnishings to the glassware - I did have trouble finding the door, luckily a passerby was able to assist. When I walked in my eyes couldn't focus on just 1 thing, everything is beautiful. Once seated the host (Erin) did an amazing job of explaining the menu items both drinks & food. She suggested cocktails and they did not disappoint - can't wait to come back read more

Service and drinks were excellent. Our waiter, Steven U. was great!! He was able to make suggestions for drinks and a snack that we really enjoyed. My only critique of Artemis is the time limit. We were a party of two and would have enjoyed another drink and snack if we could have stayed longer. read more

Had a nice time at Artemis. The vibe, staff, and food were great. I loved my drink; I forgot the name, but it was something "bloom." I had to get two, it was so good! There's couches to sit in and a bar as well. I would suggest making reservations before you go. I would tell you the location but it's a secret! Enjoy! read more

Artemis is such a cool spot! Walking in and finding the secret door is half the fun. I know a lot of people say it's hard to find, but honestly I thought it was pretty straightforward, just adds to the speakeasy vibe. We made a reservation (which I highly recommend because I've heard it gets packed on weekends), and I'm glad we did. They have a pretty big drinks menu. I ordered the alcohol-free Aperol spritz and it was SO good, super refreshing and not an afterthought like some mocktails can be. The girls in my group tried a few of the specialty cocktails and some of them even came with a little show, which made it extra fun. The owner came over and chatted with us for a bit, such a nice guy and very welcoming. You can tell they really care about the experience. They did let us know that when it's busy, there's a time limit even with reservations, so just plan accordingly if you're going on a packed night. The food was also really good! I wasn't personally a huge fan of the charcuterie board, but the whipped feta dip was AMAZING, definitely order that. If you're in the area and looking for a moody, low-key spot with great vibes, Artemis is absolutely worth checking out! read more

This is a tough review to write. Why? Because I don't want to give away the secret of this absolutely fantastic speakeasy! Artemis is for real an amazing place from start to finish with extreme focus and attention to detail in everything they do. My wife and I learned this back in early July around her birthday. For starters, Artemis holds true to wanting to create a real Speakeasy experience to the point where if there wasn't a person standing outside to check off your reservation, you might not actually find it! Once you do enter, you haven't really...well, not until you follow some instructions to get into the speakeasy. If that's cryptic, good! Go see for yourself! When you do step into the main bar area, it does feel like you're taken back to a different place and time. The aesthetics are incredible with the vibe never feeling pretentious but rather classically warm, in a secretive speakeasy sort of way. Once seated, my wife and I were treated with some impeccable service from our waiter as well as a few other staff members. Making you feel welcome is definitely in the DNA of this place and that showed all the way to the end (more on that in a sec). First, we ordered up a couple of delicious drinks from Artemis's menu. I had the South Bay Sazerac which was perfectly mixed as it tasted flavorfully strong but with no alcohol bite. My wife got the Pychee which had a nice sweet zing and came with a couple of candies to top it off. You expect a Speakeasy to know how to mix a drink and that was definitely the case here. But what was great about Artemis was that it didn't stop at the drinks. Though not a place for a true dinner, Artemis has a nice selection of varying bites to eat which we decided to sample. Keeping things light at what was a slightly later hour we chose to have the popcorn and the olive salad. They sound simple (and they were), but both hit the spot, especially the variety of olives (and feta/cucumber) thrown into it. Top this off with a complimentary brownie/ice cream (which was warm and delicious) for my wife's birthday and you really get those feels from start to finish. Overall, I'd gladly return to Artemis over and over again. Now that I can locate where the space is and I understand its entry process, I know that this won't take away from the fun way of getting in because once you time travel back to this interior, you'll be in a world of fine drinks, great bites, and service that works hard and wants you to understand what this place is all about. Sorry if I gave away too much, but it needed to happen. Now go see for yourself...if you can find it. read more

It was cool. Drinks were okay. We didnt order entrees. Hard to get into/deff recommend a reservation. A tad bit corny

Dope spot, something different to station yards that stands alone. Refreshing spot in a sea of redundant chains. Cool vibe, expensive drinks, slow burn. read more

Great speakeasy with light bites in the beautifully redone Ronkonkoma train station area. The new Station Yards has lots of cool options, and a parking garage that is free for up to three hours to make a visit easy. In true speakeasy fashion, Artemis has minimal signage and is off the beaten path. Half the fun is finding it and getting in, so I won't spoil that for you. If you get spun around, theirs security easy to find who can help direct you. Once you get in, theirs decor is gorgeous and chic - comfy leather seats, fancy ceiling and walls. It's dimly lit, so you may need your cell phone flashlight to read the menu. The staff and GM are amazing, made our visit (with members) such a delight. Food options are great, with more coming! Highly recommend. read more

It was our first time to Artemis, and we absolutely loved EVERYTHING about this 'hidden' gem! Our plan was to stop by and have a drink before heading off to dinner, but as soon as we sat down and got our first drinks, that plan changed. We called and pushed back our dinner reservation so we could spend more time enjoying this fantastic spot! The decor draws you back to another time, and the drinks and food were excellent! Even better, was our server Erin! Her knowledge of the drinks and recommendations REALLY made for a fun night! We are already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Totally fun experience. Finally found the entrance, followed instructions and the door opened onto a very cool speakeasy. Darkly lit main room led us to a smaller side alcove. Comfortable seating with great decor. Staff were friendly, fast and helpful but not intrusive. We just had drinks but they have a nice menu as well. Fun place, great for a date night. I can only give 4 stars because I didn't have any food read more

This hidden gem is a must-visit. While it may be challenging to find, the effort is worth it. The drinks are exceptional, and the bartenders are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The cozy ambiance makes it the perfect place to unwind and relax. read more

My husband and I love coming here whether it's date night with just the two of us or a double date with close friends. We've been here about four times and each time is very enjoyable. The last time we had a unique cocktail that contained beet juice. It was so amazing! Madeleine was our waitress and she was kind, professional, and helpful. The bartenders are always friendly, informative, and enhance the atmosphere. I highly recommend making reservations for a seamless experience. read more

If you're looking for a spot that feels like a secret, but deserves to be shouted from the rooftops, Artemis Speakeasy is it. Tucked away in Ronkonkoma, this place is all about moody vibes, great music, and even better cocktails. Let's talk about the Old Fashioned--hands down one of the best I've had on Long Island. Perfectly balanced, smoky, and subtly sweet with that signature citrus twist. You can tell they don't cut corners here--everything from the hand-cut ice cube to the bourbon selection screams craftsmanship. The ambiance is dark, sultry, and sophisticated. It gives off true speakeasy energy with plush seating, dim lighting, and a playlist that sets the tone without overpowering conversation. It's the kind of place where you come for one drink and end up staying for hours. If you're into expertly made cocktails and a space that feels both upscale and lowkey, Artemis is a must. Bonus points for the bartenders--they know their stuff and make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. Will definitely be back. And yes, I'm ordering the Old Fashioned again. read more

I wanted to LOVE this place. Such a cool vibe; cozy, cool, and a perfect date spot. We came as a group of 4 and were sat on time. Here's where things got a little sour. We needed a few minutes to look over the menu - we didn't need 30 minutes though! But ok, the place was busy. Unfortunately, the same thing happened when we were ready for drink #2 - so after spending an hour and a half here and one drink in - our reservation was already coming to an end. Unfortunately - the bad outweighed the good on this one. I hope they can improve the service - this place has so much potential because the drinks were great! read more

Went here for date night on Friday and it really exceeded our expectations. It's a very cute, cozy and intimate speakeasy vibe. I recommend reservations but it never felt cramped or overcrowded. Everyone from the front door to the waitress and bar staff were so friendly and accommodating. Even though we'd were deep in convo we were checked in on a healthy amount of times and never had to look or wait for our server at any point. The drinks were really good! All fresh ingredients and very strong but tasty. I thought the prices were fair and similar to any other lounge/bar anywhere in LI or the city. The food is more tapas style but there is lots of choices so there's probably some there for everyone. I had the Empanadas and they were tasty. I have no complaints and I hope it's just the same when we come back! I think this may be our new local go to spot now. read more

Definitely cool vibes here. The decor is beautiful and eclectic. I'd say it's good for a date night or a special occasion. I came with a party of 6 on a Saturday night so our reservations were for 2 hours and 15 minutes and they certainly don't let you forget that. The amount of times they kept telling us when our time would be up was a little annoying. Everybody was very friendly but tell us to gtfo without telling us. Anyway, I started with the beet the blues drink-it had blackberry whiskey and beet root juice-it was unique and quite tasty. My second drink was pretty generic-it was the aviation which had gin but nothing special. The table split the Caesar salad flatbread, empanadas and the burrata for dinner and the s'mores tart for dessert. The flatbread was annoying to eat-it was a mound of lettuce on top of a flatbread and very difficult to eat on the low tables, just messy and honestly tasted like bagged Caesar salad from the supermarket so I would skip that. The empanadas were also nothing special but the burrata was very good. It was creamy and garlicky served with some crostini. The s'mores tart had a lot of flavor as well. One of the others got this 'famous' $42 espresso martini that was supposed to come in a dome with smoke or some kind of spectacle-well their smoker was not working so it was a basic drink-still for $42. I tried it-it was good but don't get crazy now, it's a generic martini. I guess the price is more for the spectacle which we didn't get so I agree with others that this specific drink is wildly overpriced. Def some pros and cons here but I'll just say again-cool vibe and friendly staff for sure-hit or miss on the drinks and food though! read more

The decor and lighting are perfect! Having staff outside to check you in definitely took away from the speakeasy element. Our server was great. The dips were all amazing. Drinks were okay -- nothing crazy with not many options for liquors other than gin. This was a cool spot to celebrate a birthday, but not a regular hangout spot. read more

Fabulous time!!! Ambiance and cocktails to match Looking forward to return soon ... Food pairing well done read more

I absolutely love this place, it's one of my favorites and always my go-to recommendation for friends. The staff is friendly, everything runs smoothly, and the drinks are amazing definitely worth the price. Shoutout to Charlie for being such an incredible bartender! read more

Great location, with a fitting low key atmosphere fitting the speakeasy era. Excellent mixology by the bartenders, well worth a return visit. read more

Definitely a unique experience from the moment you arrive . The large comfortable chairs are far better than sitting on a hard bar stool, and add to the whole lounge atmosphere, making you want to stay and relax with your friends. Drinks were different and enjoyed each one. Food is definitely aimed more at "foodies" which they tell you. We had empanadas (ok) a sandwich made with Mozzarella and prosciutto (awesome) and a 'grazing board' (very nice variety). Your not getting chicken fingers or a burger here. Knocks? Menu is made to look hand written and the lighting is very low so I had to use my cell phone light to read it. Also wish music was a touch lower, but we might have been under a speaker. read more

I came here last night for the first time, to celebrate my wife's 65th birthday with 2 very close friends. Everything exceeded ALL EXPECTATIONS, the food was a perfect 10 , incredible burrata platter, rice balls so crispy and flavorful my only wish was i had ordered two , BETTER than any Italian restaurant. The steak sandwich was so tender i barely needed to chew it melted in my mouth like a filet from Peter Lugar, and the short rib , WOW !! The drinks were spectacular and last but not least, our waitress, attentive, friendly and offered suggestions that were all spot on , they even remembered my wife's special occasion and brought out a beautiful dessert with a candle to mark the celebration, and NO CHARGE, , something that has become rate in most restaurants but this effort alone will keep us coming back and sharing our experience with friends and family. Perfect night Artemis , Thank you, Ed Driscoll read more
