    Such a fun place to check out on Fire Island. The drinks are supper yummy, staff is friendly, and the performances are over the top. We just grabbed drinks at the bar as walk ins and stayed for about 2 hours watching the drag shows, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. If you are looking for a fun place to go with friends, Cherry's On The Bay is the place to be!

    For a good time on a Saturday night in Cherry Grove, this is definitively the place to be. Basically what you have is a beach dive bar with an amazing drag queen show that is loads of fun. I did not have food here but we did have a few drinks which weren't that strong and standard NY $15 a drink. The bartenders were okay. By the way, this is a cash bar, so probably best to bring your own cash or use the ATM in the back.

    Restauraunt was spacious, and had alot of seating by the water/ferry dock .Server/bartender had a bubbly and friendly personality, but tried to rush us out and did not give a reason why. Drinks (rocket fuel) were really good and pretty strong . My ceaser salad appetizer was great. My burrito bowl was also good, albeit very expensive for the portion size. Had a fun experience and would try once if you can make it to one of the drag shows. Due to prices being too high i would not make it a regular occurance.

    I love this place!! Was just there with a couple of friends last week. #1. Best frozen drinks ever #2. Love the bartenders - real and cool #3. Amazing view #4. Festive - feels like you are in key west or a tropical island. I grew up in New York and remember when I coming to Fire Island in my 20s and having a blast. I live In Los Angeles now but this place reminds me of everything I love about New York and new York and fire island.

    My favorite place in CG! Everyone is welcome here - the DJ is always great, and this is the place to go for dancing (maybe even on the stage). One thing that annoys me is the teeny tiny restrooms. The line can get out of hand for that - and it also tends to get super hot back there in the summer (no AC). Also, typically they do not charge a cover, but this past holiday weekend when I went they were charging $10 a person. It was annoying, but worth it of course. It's right by the ferry dock and cash only. There's usually a few bartenders on so drinks are served up pretty quickly. Definitely worth a visit!

    First visit to this fairly new restaurant. Was blown away by…read morethe food and the cocktails. We sat at the bar and were very well taken care of. They started us off with complementary pineapple, express cocktails. I'm not a Tequilla fan but this drink was outstanding. I ordered an old fashioned which was made perfectly. To start I got the lamb chops chop they were also tops, for main I went with the bourbon glazed wings. Outstanding ! My girlfriend went with the flank steak which was cooked perfectly. I think o going a new fave !! This restaurant has a nice city vibe to it. Drinks are made to perfection and the food was tops. I can't wait to return. A+++++++++

    One and done for us. 3 stars for the drinks and other staff…read more Bartender with hat backwards. Didn't even acknowledge us when we sat at the bar we sat there awkwardly while he attended to four other people laughing and carrying on and making drink selections. at the bar. We were just about to leave when he came over. No eye contact no greeting said here's the menu and walked away. My husband and I looked at each other. Then about five minutes later, another bartender came over a very nice woman asked us what we would like to drink. Drinks were very nicely made. Had them and went to another restaurant to eat. That bartender should also wash his shirt. I really don't like leaving bad reviews, however when you're not greeted in a timely manner, sitting at a bar that was not full and chatting with four other people and laughing and treating us with absolutely zero consideration when there are so many other wonderful restaurants in the Bayshore area it's sad to give a bad review.
