    a person holding a drink on the beach
    Christine H.

    We came to this bar because a server at another restaurant said drinks are good There's indoor and outdoor seating The view is awesome Drinks were ok but pricey Not well presented Bar/restaurant isn't too clean Staff are not too friendly I wouldn't feel comfortable eating here I wouldn't come back

    Bay view

    The past reviews on here about Houser's crack me up. If you came to this place looking for a Michelin star meal, you're a true cidiot on Fire Island. For those of us that grew up across the bay frequenting these haunts, we know the drill. This is a bar bar. A seafarers bar. A dingy place to slam Zippys, laugh with friends, play pool, hang out on the sand, and wait in lines for bathrooms. If you want to eat, there are options here. The lobster dinner is a go to, best price point for it in all of OB. Apps are decent enough. But if you're trying to have a sit down with friends, do your research and go somewhere else. If you're looking to have a rip-roaring late night fun time, you've found the right place. To those that gave this place one star, my suggestions is that Housers isn't the problem... your expectations are. I bet you complain about swinging the lights at the albatross too lol .

    We weren't planning to come to Housers but the music playing grabbed my attention. The signs advertising the specials sealed the deal. We sat out back with a nice view of the early night sky changing colors. Ordered some drinks that were made well. The waitress was awesome and I wish I knew her name to give her credit. She informed us that the shrimp was sold out. So we're done other items. It was the last day before the place was closing for the season. She stressed that there were lobsters and they were fresh. I asked about the mussels and she said they were awesome. So, I got the mussels and she was so right! I also got the lobster and it was so perfectly cooked! The waitress suggested that I dip my lobster in the left over mussel sauce and that was a great idea! So good!!!! My friend got the burger special that was advertised. Delicious!

    The Good. -Zippy Coolers. -A pool table. -Off nights when you have the freedom to move around. -Sunshine and sand at the tables outside during happy hour. The Bad. -On the weekends, the bathroom line will be longer than my....well, long, anyway. The Ugly. -My brains being scattered all over the bathroom floor. You know, after my mind was blown by the graffiti that read, "My ass is my dick." I'm still trying to figure it out.

    $16 for two terrible tacos

    Food was terrible and a rip off. Ordered shrimp tacos from the specials and it was two soft tacos with lettuce, tomato and onions + cold shrimp. Garbage. The sauce they gave was sour cream and salsa. Probably the worst tacos I've ever had. Guess how much for two tacos?! $16! Rip off. If you do come here, skip the food + just save yourself, get the drinks. The service was slow and had two ask for water twice. Check took about 10 min longer than it should've.

    One word: Zippy. This place has the BEST zippys by far in all of ocean beach. There's a really fun, big bar on the inside with darts and a pool table. There's music at night-- beats range from pop to throwbacks -- with people dancing and chilling. Outside there's open table seating with a gorgeous view of the bay, so you can grab a drink and sit outside with friends. They have food, but I haven't tried it. It's not fancy, overly clean or pretentious, but this is the perfect beach town bar & night scene.

Not even ten minutes after entering, a friend of the security team was allowed inside with a fire extinguisher and began spraying it throughout the bar--including directly on people who were eating and drinking. This behavior was not only reckless but incredibly dangerous. Fire extinguisher chemicals are toxic when inhaled and can cause serious respiratory issues. Our drinks were completely ruined, and we were forced to leave immediately while covering our faces for safety. When we confronted the security team about what happened, they laughed--showing no concern for the health and safety of their customers. We will never return to this establishment. Attached is a photo of the individual in the white shirt responsible for spraying everyone.

As soon as my friend walked up the stairs we were confronted by Phil who after hearing our explanation of why we walked up grabbed my friend by the neck, tried throwing him down the stairs and kicking him relentlessly while calling for backup and the security pushed us with no regard to our story. We definitely will not be coming back here this behavior is truly disgusting and i think Phil was on drugs or had drugs upstairs definitely shady.

I had a caesar salad with lobster which was so delicious. The lobster was already shelled out so no need to worry about cracking lobster! Tasted so fresh and hit the spot. My husband got a burger and fries and no complaints there. Me and my daughter tried the fries and they were so good. My daughter inhaled her fried calamari either the cocktail sauce. Nice presentation too. I got an Arnold palmer and it was pinkish due to the pink lemonade. I am not a fan of their pink lemonade and feel regular lemonade would taste fresher and better. The service here was so on point again. Please give your Tinker Bell waitress a raise she was so great with us! I don't know her name but she was adorable and very accommodating to our table. Explained what they were out of and knew the dish well when I asked if the eggplant with the penne alla vodka was breaded. It was breaded by the way and eas delicious. It was nicely cut thin and came with this sourdough bread that was toasted and spiced so good. Not sure what the spice was but it was a warm toasty flavor. I noticed the waitress was doing a lot of work the restaurant was pretty full and she was the only waitress we saw there. Excellent job she does keeping up. If I could have left her a bigger tip I would have. I think the restaurant needs at least another waiter or waitress because of how crowded it can get. I would dine here again if I am on the island again. It's great for families and get togethers!
