    Angry orchard cider
    Jessica S.

    This quaint little place was the perfect little brewery to celebrate my birthday. I got together here with some friends and from the moment we walked in we were greeted by our server and given menu's. The service was amazing and the food really blew us away. We really enjoyed this place...seriously a hidden gem! We will deff be coming back soon. Thank you for making my bday gathering so memorable!

    Crab cake

    While browsing, i doubted this place and decided to try it. I believe this place is most noticeable for its hospitality, i was wiped with such a friendly host, who i believe is also a brewmaster. The place itself is small; it has only five tables or so. My husband and i enjoy beers, we had some samples to try, and everything has a unique flavor profile. For the food, i got waffle crab cake, i enjoyed it; it is made of real crab meat with no bread crumbles or any other add-ons, so different, yes. On the other hand, the pierogi dish was a little disappointing, considering that you pay for a piece. They could be a little bigger if the place aiming for a Polish-style one were underwhelming. If you are going to order, i think the one with a smoked sausage is better.

    One of Long Island's best kept foodie secrets since 2014 is this fantastic little brewpub in Centerport. Paul Dlugokencky is a creative brewer, and his beers are definitely worth a try. Some of my faves include Tahoma tart lager, Honey & Basil Ale, Long Island Potato Stout, Hellsmoke Porter, Blind Bat Be Bop Belgian-inspired IPA Lucifugus IPA and the sour and smoky Vlad the Inhaler Old Polish-Style Smoked Wheat Beer. Paul will happily let you sample whatever he has on tap, or try a flight! The refreshing libations are just half the story, though, as the food Paul and his wife Regina serve is AMAZING and just as creative as the beer. Crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, their pickle-brined, beer-battered, duck fat-fried chicken sandwich really lived up to the hype. Marvelously decadent beer and cheese spaetzle is a must-try, as are the burgers, the incredible gribenes and potato onion duck bacon knishes, and the "Here Comes the Sun" zucchini and ricotta tarte. This local treasure is one of me and my wife's favorite casual dinner dates, especially paired with a visit to Centerport Beach.

    The food at Blind Bat is consistently excellent, organic, locally grown, house made and delicious. This is the only place I want to go to every week to keep me on track to eat healthy. Some of my favorites are the organic smashed turkey burger with New York State smoked Gouda or grass-fed smashed beef burger and locally grown kale salad with house made dressing. Absolutely delicious! The owners, Paul and Regina, have a knack for whipping up new scrumptious creations (and for sharing recipe and gardening tips). Even as I recently went to Italy I was yearning to come back to Blind Bat for my weekly dose of good food! It's a hidden gem on Washington Avenue in centerport.

    Black Bean Burger

    If you have the chance to check this hidden little gem out, do it!!! I was more than pleasantly surprised by how incredibly good the food is & by how many vegan options there were. Local, fresh & organic & as a result SUPER DELICIOUS! Check out the menu pic attached I had the house made black bean burger which was one of the best vegan burgers I have ever had! This is saying A LOT. The combo of pickled red onions, spices & arugula were divine. I was afraid I couldn't eat the sides, but the chef/owner assured me that he makes all his sides with veganaise The spicy slaw & macaroni salad were a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!! My friends had nonvegan foods & thoroughly enjoyed them! Definitely check this place out. They also have beer @alongislandvegan

    Odin's wink honey ale
    Karen R.

    I've had their beer at the Northport farmers market but haven't been going as there have been less & less vendors. I knew they had a storefront now so stopped by. Cute little place in Centerport and tried the Odin's wink honey ale, I loved it! you could taste the honey & spice, it was rich but crisp & full of flavor. The owner is super nice & they have a lot!!!! of food items on the menu! It's a great spot to grab a beer, get lunch, some take out, try them you'll love them!

    A nice brewery here in Centerport. A hidden gem. They have really good beers and a tasty menu of all kinds of good eating. The owners are real nice and will help with pairing of beer and food. Definitely worth the trip.

    Storefront. Signage to come (at least they have the little sign!).
    Josh G.

    Being a blind bat is probably not all that bad. I mean, bats don't really need to see (echolocation, right?), and most importantly, they can still drink plenty of beer. So if you're a bat (or more likely, a human?), head up to Blint Bat Brewery's new storefront spot. C'mon, let's go! I've been seeing Blind Bat's name pop up for years, whether in bottles/cans at farmer's markets, on tap at a few select locations, or occasionally amidst a beer festival. Problem is, it's so few and far between that I never got a true feel for their brews. Welp, that lack of feel is over now that BB has a place to call their own in Centerport. Still softly opening, my buddy and I swung in to check it all out and by the end, we were smitten. Start off with the cute café ambiance that's set up through the turquoise-colored tables, display case of (some) eats, and a nod at local love, especially found on their mirrored wall that showed a list of nearby places contributing to Blind Bat's success. Continue with both food and drink successes in making Blind Bat not only a taproom, but a bistro. Bistro you say? Why yes! Blind Bat has a nice little menu of edible options (almost) all made to order and varying from basic items (sausages and hamburgers, or smmmashed as they say) to more eclectic selections (cajun artichoke dip and duck bacon knishes). Those latter two choices, along with a "Here Comes the Sun" Zucchini + Ricotta Tarte, made up my buddy and I's meal. Uniquely delicious is a strong word to describe things here. I don't think I ever have, nor I ever will again, eat a knish with duck bacon at any other place besides Blind Bat, but by golly, it's a puff of tastiness! The tarte had a creamy consistency and came close to a quiche in style while that dip? A nice zing of spice with plenty of sourdough baguette pieces surrounding it. Moral of the story, don't sleep on the grub when you come here. But wait. Beer! Blind Bat truly has a hand in some individualized suds while still holding on to great flavor along with a kick of locality in each sip. Ever have a Long Island Potato Stout? Honey and Basil Ale? Hellsmoke Porter? One trip to Blind Bat will give you all these original tastes and much more. A flight of four (plus an extra pour for $2 more and a pint for mi amigo) gave us a taste of everything mentioned as well as their Belgian IPA, Hefeweizen, and Smoked Wit. Dang, Blind Bat really knows how to put out some great quality in each of these styles creating a reason to return over and over again. One other reason? Paul. The owner and brewer of Blind Bat is a quirky yet super friendly fella. Not only is he concocting and pouring these local libations but he's in the back cooking up a storm and out front thanking customers for coming in. This guy is the lifeblood of Blind Bat and luckily, he can also see (...bad joke there). But you get the idea that customer service is a big part of BB and a facet for why coming in is worth the trip. Overall, Blind Bat Brewery finally has a physical place to call its own (which isn't a little cottage, as cute as the pic is). Between its food, brews, hospitality, and connection to locality, Blind Bat is the full package and surely a beer spot that will continue to make its mark in Centerport, on Long Island, and all over. So don't worry about bats not being able to see. If they can drink Blind Bat beers, they'll be lovin' life (and maybe they'll be a little tipsy too).

    Definitely order a flight :)

We stopped by on Christmas Eve Eve, and it was such a fun, low-key way to kick off the holiday. The vibe was super chill the second we walked in. A solid neighborhood brewery with good energy. The bartender was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference, especially during a busy holiday week. It felt like the kind of place where regulars hang out, but newcomers are just as welcome. They had live music going that night, which added to the cozy, festive feel without being overwhelming. You could still talk, laugh, and actually enjoy your beer, which I appreciate! It felt more like background vibes than a full-on concert, in the best way. I ordered the Lindy Light, and it was exactly what I wanted: crisp, refreshing, and easy to drink lager. Perfect if you're not looking for something super heavy or complicated. The tap list had a nice mix overall, so whether you're into lighter beers or want something with a little more character, there's definitely something for you. They also have NA and cocktail options. The space itself is casual and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but that's part of the charm. It's the kind of place you can pop into for one beer and end up staying longer than planned. Friendly staff, good beer, live music, and an easygoing vibe. I'd absolutely come back, especially around the holidays or anytime I'm in the area looking for a relaxed hang.
