I landed upon Greath South Bar last night after searching high and low online for a Tuesday night open mic on Long Island. Sign up was at 7:00pm and the mic started at 7:30. Now I've pervious performed at and attended over 100 open mics, at different bars, venues, houses etc, and believe me when I say this was one of my all-time favorite. All the musicians were super talented, the host was a pro's pro, and the audience were incredibly supportive & engaging. The space just felt warm, friendly and had a calm yet electric buzz the entire evening. Also, the bartender, Penny, really seemed to set the tone for the entire bar. She is extremely welcoming, witty and just an all-around positive person. You can tell she really enjoys her job and makes sure that her patrons are having a good time. I was sticking to non-alcoholic ginger beer all night and she only charged me $2 each, how kind is that?! All in all, a true gem of a bar with an open mic that I will 1,000% return to. read more

Bartenders are amazing. Super friendly. Quick service and great prices. Terry and Angie are always amazing.

The best bar in Patchogue has arrived, but don't tell anyone. Come for the beer stay for the staff... or vice versa, whatever. Eat a wiener, watch jeopardy, leave happier than when you went in. read more

Service: friendly service Atmosphere: cross between upscale cocktail bar, brewery and greenery. They have dark lighting and fancy drinks. Beer and board games. And live plants and cool decorations throughout! Love it! read more

DISABLED VETERAN HERE - GREAT SPOT!!!!! I love coming to this bar and talking to my fellow veteran brothers and sisters whenever we have a night out. -Ray read more

I stopped in here last night with my dad & brother. This is a nice little bar with a full bar and unique craft beers & lagers. Last night they had live music, some guy and a lady playing guitar, bass and singing groovy music. I sat at the bar and had plenty of people to talk to, lots of local yokels hang out in this establishment. The owner was the one serving drinks last night and made a tasty gin & tonic. If you are looking for a nice quaint bar to have a few drinks, stop I'm and take a load off your feet. Located just south of Main St on S. Ocean in Patchogue. read more

Can't say enough about Terence and his crew (especially Kim!). Great vibe, nice people, fun decor (and talented art work that rotates monthly on the walls). There is always a fun movie playing, when there isn't some game show or trivia night...but that's cool too! Never disappointed and always happy we went! read more

This is easily my new favorite spot in town. It's small, quiet, has great service, awesome selection of craft beers, fantastic cocktails, amazing vibe, and I could go on and on... It's such a nice place to take a breath of fresh air away from the hustle & bustle that is Main St and what those bars offer. Great South Bar is the perfect place if you want a nice date night out or even to hang with some friends when you want to hear the conversation. Terrance and the other bartenders are serious about their mixology and the cocktail menu here is the best, bar none. These masterful drinks will run you a little bit at $13 each, but get here during happy hour and they're $2 off. Speaking of happy hour, they have half price beers of some reallyyyy great stuff. The other night, we got a couple Three's brews and the bill was under $10. Can you get there anywhere else? No. Also, dollar hot dawgs on the happy hour menu also. Their food menu is strictly bar food; chips & onion dip, cheese & meat board, hummus, PB&J, etc...no frills kinda stuff that's good for munchin' when you're tossing a few back. This place is great and I stop in whenever I get the chance, you should too! read more

Depending upon your expectations, the bar could be considerd disappointing. There are limited beers on tap. I ordered a beer that I thought was on tap and it was out of a can. Cocktails are $13, this is Patchogue, not Manhattan by Times Square. Happy hour specials are $2 off a beer, not half priced similar to some other bars in the area. There is a limited selection of bar food available. They have a nice space, and there is good potential here. Hopefully I will be able to upgrade my review in the future. read more

Patchogue desperately needed great south bar. No frills cocktail bar with reliable beer and wine options, and cheap beer options also for those who just want a bud can. And super simple bar food! Their housemade hummus is great and really hits the spot. I recommend their margarita, it's perfect. Though everything I had was good. Great south bar is a perfect hangout spot, but it's small so it fills up quick. I went in on Friday at 7 and it filled up at 8:30. Still really enjoyable, it didn't get rowdy or anything. So excited for these guys to do well, I know they will!!! I'll be back soon. read more

I admittedly had dodged this place for years which can now safely surface as a mistake but glad I got a safe recommend to try. It's because it was so dark inside (even during the Summer)! I've become a happy regular here who looks forward to seeing what the shenanigans are going down here. First, let me dust off my trumpet for some taps for the town's own beloved Hoptron. I feel that Great South Bar has taken in refugees from Hoptron and are doing the good deed of keeping options for Craft Beer alive. The curve ball is that the cocktails here are made at a city like precision and quality. I have skipped beers for cocktails here and have been fully satisfied. Constant rotation of taps and craft cans... Tap take overs as well! Interior decor here is fun with a mixture of sailor Jerry, copper ceiling tiles, a lot of wood, and a lot of plants. Staff as everyone has stated already is very pleasant, personable, and passionate in their craft. Food options vary a bit but I'm not coming here for a filet mignon-- I'm here to watch a campy movie, a beer, and some cheeseballs. Covid-19 details-- Was happy to build a 4 pack of beers pre-phase 2 and support this business. Phase 3- they put 2 tables that seat 4 out on the side walk and have strategic spacing inside. Staff is respectful with masks and order. Again, Terrence the owner here has made great efforts to follow protocols and rules with the state. Overall, I highly recommend this as a secret spot though I feel like the last few times I've been here it's been picking up. I do like that sometimes it can be quite quaint in here. It is off the town strip but it's definitely a great vibe for someone that doesn't need the assortment of dudes in black express polo shirts and khaki shorts and blasting EDM songs. P.S. - If you make a scene and try and throw a human through the glass front window like a boomer, you get 7 years bad luck. Good vibes only! read more

Greats South Bar is the place to go to escape the unbearable patchogue bar scene. Best vibe. Best staff. Best beer. Best cheezeballs. Best bar in Patchogue. read more

The place is OK. A little disappointed since I went here on a Monday night - expecting to get some bar snacks and maybe a cocktail but they only had beers and no snacks. It's got your typical old town dive bar feel, which is fine and cute, but again more disappointed with the lack of snacks and drinks that I had thought would've been available. Maybe I'll swing by on a more happening time? But if the kitchen closes at a certain time or whatever - I'd like that info to be available somewhere. read more

This is the epitome of a chill enjoyable bar. Tucked a little off main it has Great beer and cocktail selections, beautifully decorated, attentive and engaging bartenders, one of my favorite places in patchogue read more

My favorite spot in patchogue. You can actually hear yourself talk there unlike most bars in patchogue at night. I grew up just south of the bar in the village, this place brings the authentic south shore vibe like none other. Great beer, chill environment and James and Terrance are super chill guys. read more

Super fun place to go with a young but mature crowd, without the yelling and fuss that some of the other places on the strip offer. The bartenders were fantastic at their job and the cocktail menu was something special. Didn't find a bad drink on that. Good vibe, nice interior design. read more

Had a great time here a few weeks ago during the day and lastnight with friends for after dinner drinks. The aesthetic inside is really neat with tons of cool artwork and plants. They play old movies on the TV by the bar. It reminds me of a place you'd go to in Brooklyn or LES. I've only ever had the old fashioned there so can't speak to anything besides that, but the drinks are always great. Came in last night and got the last table available as it was very busy. The staff was concerned about reaching capacity and turned some people away, which was nice to see them being careful about covid still. Even though the bartender Terrance was swamped and clearly very busy he took great care of us all night. Before we left he even came to the table and took a free shot with us. This is definitely our go to spot for late night drinks and would recommend read more

Awesome place! Great beer selection! Love that they offer nice sour beer options as well . Happy hour is fantastic . It's Quiet, off the path of village . Perfect ! Supreme friendly service. Live music on Thursday's ! I also enjoy the selection of board games available to play. The apps and snacks are of good choice and delicious homemade hummus is on point. Had a great time here last night with a table of friends. I really enjoyed the music especially last night thanks to the GRATEFUL GIRLS! :-) I will definitely be back soon!! read more

Great South Bar is one of the newer bars that creates craft cocktails and small plates that's off the Patchogue strip. Sincerety and kindness goes a long way, this place employs wonderful caring people which attracts good customers here ,which makes the bars atmosphere one of a kind type of place. The establishment is ran by a few veteran bartenders who create seasonal drink and food menus. One thing you'll never have enough here is Fernett-Branca! make sure to ask them about it. They'll often have different wines, beers and spirits from cool breweries and wineries. They also have music on certain nights. The place is small but very cozy, it sort of has a West Village type of vibe to it. The bars decor and theme is based heavily on film and movies so there's always something interesting playing. The prices are fair and the bartenders are wonderful, there is plenty of street parking available as well. There are plenty of good bars in Patchogue, but if you're looking for a one of a kind bar that pours some craft cocktails where you can catch a movie this is your spot. read more

Easily the greatest bar in patchogue. Terrance is the best bartender!! I tell him to surprise me every time I go and he has never disappointed. read more

Do you ever lay awake at night, wondering what all the cool people are doing while questioning your existence and whether there is something out there, more meaningful that can give you not only fulfillment, but a sense of purpose? That was me before Great South Bar opened. Since inception, my social life has improved and I now receive phone calls from real people instead of the original spam calls from robot solicitors. Great South or GreaSoBah as I've come to know it by, has the best beverages and staff of any bar in the Milky Way. Keep doing what you're doing y'all - it's because of you that I'm now comfortable using southern slang. read more

Great South Bar is fantastic. It is not as large as some of the other places in Patchogue, but they boast an impressive drink and tap list. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The place has a great atmosphere, always has something entertaining to watch on the television when you come in and is just plain awesome. read more

Wact, 15 dollar beers and man buns, bella vino was way better. No good dive bars left down there.

Awesome place, awesome drinks, awesome pizza and movie selection. Go here and give them all of your money.

This is the type of place I've been looking for! A very chill vibe with knowledgeable staff. My husband and I came here for puppy bowl- wouldn't have known it existed except for an ad on Instagram. I'm glad we came in! Since Mondays are our night out, it's hard to find a place that's open. Luckily GSB is! They have some light food like sandwiches and hotdogs, but I just stuck to the beer. read more

Excellent beer selection!! Wonderful knowledgeable bar staff and the cocktails are on point !! Bartenders nah..just family that's the vibe

This is the best new spot in Patchogue. No BS - just great drinks, good tunes and a solid crowd. The beer selection is well curated even though I don't drink much beer anymore. Be careful, this place doesn't have a sign outside (too cool for a sign?). This is where I come when I need a break from Main Street. read more

This place is the tits! ( . )( . ) everyone here is a joy and a pleasure to be around!

Perfect place for a relaxing time at a bar with great beer and wholesome music. Hands down the best spot to come with friends to hang out, relax, and talk. For someone who is not about club life, I'm definitely happy to have found this gem of a bar. read more

My husband and I love this spot. We are Patchogue regulars and I have to say this is the kind of place we really needed. Every little hideaway bar we have turns into an overcrowded nightmare filled with frat boys. It's nice to step away from that have some great drinks in a chill bar. The staff is cool and they always have great movies playing behind the bar. read more
