My husband and I came here on a Saturday night after going out to dinner elsewhere. What an awesome spot! Quirky and fun! The decor is super sci fi and the staff friendly. We weren't pressured to order food. I got the adventure consultants as a mezcal lover, and really enjoyed the milkiness of it when I normally don't like milky drinks. It was so different and interesting with the smoke of the mezcal and the creme of the cacao. My husband got the old fashioned which was a larger portion and very boozy, exactly what my husband loves. Will definitely be back! Didn't try the food but the poutine and burger both looked really good that the table next to ours ordered. read more

Drinks are good, service is good. However the pack and play behind the bar isn't appropriate for a bar. Young kid walking around barefoot with dirty feet, who knows what she is walking on that's being dragged in from outside and from the bathrooms to dinning room. Crying kid and the pack and play probably turns people away. read more

First but not last time coming here. Toni was great my husband LOVED the martini she made for him. Will definitely be back. read more

Hunter & Thief - Old Fashioned done right - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

This place is a true diamond in the rough that is the growing Lindenhurst downtown. From their carefully curated adventure seeker décor, to their friendly welcoming small town bar service. We started our night here, to give our tastebuds their full range to experience the craftsmanship that follows their mixologist Jon. Their "Almost summer" margarita is a masterclass in balance and flavor, with just the right amount of sweet and tanginess combined with a pineapple garnish topped with toasted coconut that elevates the experience. But the real showstopper is the espresso martini - rich, smooth, and velvety, with a depth of flavor that will leave you wondering how they managed to pack so much complexity into a single glass. The attention to detail, decor and craftsmanship at Hunter and Thief is unparalleled, making it a must-visit destination for any cocktail enthusiast. read more

Went there again for the second time with the party of 14 for my wife's birthday the service the food atmosphere was all out outstanding!! unbeknownst to me or anyone at the table, including my wife they made a homemade birthday cake that was gluten-free and not free. I thought that was super special and that they went above and beyond and all I did was mention that it was my birthday when I called like a reservation. It's that kind of service in this day and age places like this apart. Food is fun and interesting and delicious and the drinks all the drinks. We love this place. Kudos to our waitress, just Jessica. She did an outstanding job waiting on 14 people without missing a beat. Love this place not sure why there's bad reviews. If you are not into the unique experience just don't go. I hope to see this family continue to be successful and prosper. read more

Atmosphere: Saturday night ..music was over the top loud so patrons had to yell to hear each other...waitress was asked to lower the music which she obliged but it was still loud for this pretty small place Tables too crowded together. Service: waitress was excellent...she was the only one taking orders but she was not riled at all...and attentive. Limited food menu... Burger was good and so were the onion rings and French fries. Drink menu extension and very good. The atmosphere is the only thing stopping us from returning.... WAY TOO LOUD. Especially if you're going with friends to catch up.... Can't hear each other. Oh and one of the employees shaking up drinks walked by us and his body odor almost knocked me off my chair. read more

Id love to share some food pictures of the amazing meals I've had here but, unfortunately the food doesn't sit long enough on the table to get a picture...it's that good. I've been here countless times and I swear it gets better each time. I've been for dinner, karaoke, a work happy hour, psychic night-there's always amazing cocktails on brand with the theme! If you don't know what you want to drink, ask Jon the bartender and he'll come up with the perfect recipe for you! My best friend and I had the BEST old fashioned here in the summer. read more

Nice addition to the Lindy scene. Good atmosphere and strong drinks. For food get the bread and butter and for drinks I recommend the Reflection of Natural History. Slightly pricey but so is everything now. At least the quality is high so I'm ok with it. Park on the side street next to it and enjoy. read more

Seemed like a cool spot with cool drinks and food so we stopped into check it out. The space itself was amazing to look at, it even had a Photo Booth. I could see their vision immediately. Drink menu was as eclectic as the decor but not fairly balanced. 1/2 the menu was Old Fashions and the others were well curated but extremely tequila heavy. Im usually a vodka drinker when I go out but the more interesting drinks were the Old Fashions and the ones with tequila so I chose the most fabulous sounding drink on the menu which was called Reflections of Natural History (their version of a spicy strawberry margarita) I liked it, I didn't love it. I wasn't getting strawberry at all and was disappointed because the ingredient was supposed to be a fermented strawberry which I was looking forward to. Let's move on to the food. Again, on paper, eclectic and intriguing in theory but a little different in practice. We ordered the toast with peaches and ricotta, it had a nice smoky flavor but the peaches were not ripe so had no taste and the chili part was missing. It would have been perfect had the peaches and chili been right and where was the honey? We also ordered the empanadas which were ok, nothing special, and the zucchini. The zucchini, I don't know what they were thinking, it was just slightly grilled zucchini with a few tomatoes & onions with some whipped ricotta on the plate. The zucchini pissed me off a little bit because I could have thrown some zucchini in my air fryer and it would have been better than that. I can't believe we paid for that. This place has so much potential because it can be a whole vibe but the food needs work. They can keep the menu as is but they need to upgrade their ingredients in a major way. read more

Second time here and it just keeps getting better. The poutine was awesome--the fries were loaded with gravy and cheese but still had that perfect crunch. Kinda wish there was a little more protein in the mix, but no complaints. The drink was so good it had me wondering why I don't come here more often. And our waitress was super friendly, really attentive, and even helped me figure out the menu around my food allergy. read more

Wasn't sure whether to not or to like. It's a small cozy bar in the Village of Lindenhurst with an eclectic ambiance inside . I loved the various Old Fashioned variations but I might a little too old for the vibe of the crowd they are attracting.

Consistently excellent, I'm not sure how they manage to make every visit a masterpiece in modern entertaining. This is a place we go when we need comfort food and uplifting & inspiring drinks. It's not so much a bar-restaurant as it has the feel more of a very cool person's extended living room cluttered with antiques, oddities, art and fresh flowers. A must go experience with standout burgers, fish & chips, fried chicken sandwich and delicious vegetarian options as well. read more

I attended Hunter & Thief's Spooky Paint Night on the second evening they hosted it. I was able to get 4 of my friends to join me as we had seen this trend on the internet and were interested in checking out this new establishment for some Halloween fun. I RSVP'd on Instagram via messenger and they were quick to reply. We did not have to pay the $50 ahead of time. They also called me the day before to confirm our attendance. We were very excited. Upon arriving I spoke to the man at the hostess station (I think he's the owner I'm unsure) and I said we were here for the Spooky Paint Night for a party of 5. The man acted all confused as if there wasn't a spooky paint night happening that evening, when behind him I can see all the artwork and the paint. I laughed it off because I knew he was making a joke but he continued to tell me that there was indeed no spooky paint night that evening. At this point we almost turned around because we hadn't given them any money yet, and honestly, we should have left. He eventually dropped his charade and told us to pick a thrifted piece of art to use as our canvases and find a place to sit. We had arrived on time and at this point the entire establishment was almost full. We assumed that since we had booked as a party of 5 that they would have reserved a table for us, but no. When we asked the same man said "You guys can all sit at the bar if you want". I took it into my own hands to ask the other customers if they could adjust their seating to accommodate my party which they graciously did, with no help to the employee that kept giving us attitude. This was the SECOND time they were doing this paint event and it was so chaotic. The station where we got our paint was not lit and we were using our cell phone flashlights to see what colors we were picking. There was also a child (maybe around 6-8 years old, I think an employee's child) at the paint station refusing to move shouting "This is my table!". We worked around him. In addition the instructor spent almost an hour to CUT all of the thrifted artwork out of their frames. The instructor seemed surprised that a majority of us started painting without his direction. They also were playing what could be compared to elevator music. My friend asked the same employee if they could put on Monster Mash to which he replied "Only if you can name the artist". At this point my other friend had about had it with his attitude and told him to stop mansplaining and just to play the damn song. The mood of the whole place lifted with the fun themed music we suggested. Also the cocktails did not have much variety. Everything was an old fashioned or a tequila based drink. No good options for vodka or rum. And you would have thought they would have had a small Halloween themed menu for the evening. You would think for the $250 PLUS TIP we paid we would have had a better experience. We were overall so disappointed and we will not be back. read more

We are in Lindy and Hunter and thief has NEVER let us down. They are Easily the best cocktails on the south shore and I mean it if you're into mixology, THE BEST. They know what they're doing and appreciate the art of cocktails; it's not a front or fad. The owner has a well known reputation in competitions and is familiar with spots like death and co. etc. not to mention serves drinks by well known bartending gods such as the Jeffrey Morgenthaler. Anyways I drank a few old fashioned variations, especially the milk and honey WOW. The their amazing BUTTERBEER, as a die hard potter fan, it truly is an amazing version of universals. My husband had their classic natural history, and it always tastes like an upper class margarita. Not to mention he switched to their mystery beers which were so fun and different! Lastly the food has been upgraded.They have their own version of what feels like a classic Italian carbonara with guancaile in egg yolk. It's truly amazing and one of my husband's favorite plates since we visited Italy in 2022. I couldn't be happier we stuck with being local for our 3 year wedding anniversary, almost went to the green door... But MAN IM HAPPY WE DIDNT. In comparison Hunter and thief are far superior. Don't forget their adorable decor! Feels like in back in the city or at a bk speakeasy. read more

Keepin' it simple: Old school bar feel, with a modern twist. Large list of specialty drinks. The food is of 5star quality and presentation all while decently priced The staff was friendly and professional. They also were playing a ton of 2000s dance and emo music which is more than okay in my book. If you're in the area I say stop in! read more

This place is cute! The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and patient. Didn't have any food but the drink I ordered was delicious! I got the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and my husband got extra fancy old fashioned! Everyone should give this place a chance. The only thing that disappointed me slightly is that they didn't have that many options for vegetarians. But they did have gnocchi, whipped humus, and a couple of other options. Still, it's a great place to check out. read more

Came back for another round on a Wednesday night for dinner, and somehow managed to be even more impressed than I was the first time! I had made reservations, but they weren't needed plenty of tables to choose from, although we were only a party of two. Decided to go for the fried chicken sandwich this time after seeing my friends get the delicious looking meal last time. It tastes just as good as it looks and is as fresh as can be, and they do not skimp on your chicken! Also got the extra fancy old fashioned this time to go with it and was pleased with the choice. Music choice the whole time was exactly my vibe, emo and pop punk, even from some LI native bands had me hankering for a karaoke night. But the volume was perfect for it, didn't have to yell or strain to hear to talk to my date, which plenty of places could certainly learn from H&T! This place is quickly climbing to be one of my favorite places in Lindenhurst, and I can't wait to see what else they come around with. read more

Decided to take the Wife out for drinks on Saturday night and we stumbled upon this place Hunter and Thief.... Wow the place has such a hipster vibe to it from the moment you walk right thru the wooden front doors to the fire place in the back which by the way is such an elegant touch imo. So we were seated right away despite it being pretty busy and we started off with drinks i had the milk and honey old fashion which i was told was one of their most popular old fashion they have even tho they had so many different versions of it, The Wife had a passion fruit Negroni and it was remarkable. We enjoyed those drinks until it was time to put in our order the menu was small but had great options, let's remember this is not a restaurant but a cocktail bar so most of the food is a little on the lighter side. The wife ordered a Cesar kale salad and i took a stab at their chopped cheese with their homemade potato chips with a side of sour cream and onion dipped all made fresh and in house, everything we ate was great i couldn't help but want to get another chopped cheese lol but i controlled my urges. I highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a relaxed/ lounge feel to come give it a try you wont be disappointed. We sure weren't!! Also the prices are very reasonable so enjoy!!! Sorry for the pics it wasn't very luminous next time i go ill get better pics for you guys!! read more

Loved this place. From the super professional, friendly hostess, to the totally unique vibe, great drinks, food cleanliness and service. I was looking for something different that checked all those boxes and this place does that. Will absolutely be back with friends to spend time at the beautiful bar. Also, I appreciate the small things like actual real candles, books in the bathroom, cool water glasses, plants on the table. Bonus is the parking lot around the corner. I hope this place continues to thrive. You can tell it's run with love and a desire to provide a unique, fun night. Great time! read more

This poor place took forever to open, and I hope for the sake of the owner that they are very successful, and last a very long time in our town. I love the eclectic Decour, and the set up of the entire place. They have tables, bar, seating, and window seating. We chose to sit at the bar on a Friday night because we like the experience of interacting with the bartender. Unfortunately, we did not find the mixologist to be all that friendly in this establishment, and the hostess wasn't willing to ask someone to move over so that we can sit The owner, thankfully did come over and take care of that for us and we were able to fit in just fine. The drinks are excellent. Well crafted. They do have a local brewery on top. Actually, I think it's cans not on top because they drop fresh cans off while we were sitting there, their food menu is minimal but definitely constructed with thought. We didn't plan on eating, but decided to try the regard to toast and it had fresh peaches on top. It was absolutely delicious. There are a few items on the menu that I would like to go back and try perhaps this time I'll sit at a table and see the difference. Overall a good experience. read more

I really enjoy this place and think it's a fantastic addition to Lindenhurst! I've been twice for drinks and apps. First time with my girlfriend for wine and we had the ricotta peach toast. It was fantastic. The second time I went with my boy friend and tried a cocktail similar to a margarita. It was the waitresses recommendation as I was undecided. On the menu it is called Holy something (I forget the full name) but so good! We also got the homemade potato chips with a homemade sour cream and onion dip. Delicious! The vibe is chill. Candle light and indie music which I LOVE. The decor is eclectic and fun. Best of luck to the owners . We'll definitely be back for drinks and a full meal! read more

This is one of the best bars in this location. It has an awesome vibe, a bit of 00's indie rock band nostalgia. The drinks are superb. I am a picky person and I love this place and the owner is there and greets everyone and is very attentive. The food is equally amazing. If you want to vibe out, listen to good music, be able to have a conversation with the person you came to bar with or just come solo and hang and drink and listen good music, this place is for you. It is a calming, chill, fun vibe. I expect to become a regular here at this establishment. I want this place to be successful but not too successful that it'll ruin the vibe of the place. 10/10. read more

Complete gem that checks off the full list when looking for a nice evening hideaway. The burger is one of the best I've ever had and hit the spot. The bartender informed me they only get pat la Frieda patty's, as far as old fashioned go. I'm a professional and this legitimately is now my top old fashioned spot. Try the Oaxacan Old fashioned, the flavor is par to none. This is a neighborhood gem and should be blasted to the public for what it has to offer. read more
