They also have a limited selection of food to pick from, such as Chips, Personal Pizza, Burrito, Corn Dogs, BBQ Rib or Chicken Sandwich, and a Grilled Chicken Sandwich. They offer an ATM, Arcade Game such as Cards, Dart Board, Happy Hour, Multiple TV's, Pool Table, and Touchtunes, with separate restrooms for men and women.

Depending on your timing, you can park in the available lot on site or even in the LIRR station across the street. On a saturday night, me and my friends ended up waiting 30 mins for a table which wasn't terrible! To start, we ordered the Capri Sun, a seasonal Mango 2 Tango cocktail and a spinach artichoke dip to start. The Capri Sun was phenomenal . A perfect blend of Pacific Cooler and vodka served in a cute lil pouch. The Mango 2 Tango had a good jalapeno kick and the spinach artichoke dip was torn into with an extra serving of tortilla chips. Once we got our main courses though, that's when things started to go downhill. I ordered the hot honey fried chicken sandwich and was underwhelmed. I was expecting a craggy hunk of chicken but, it was just a chicken cutlet surrounded by ciabatta. No hot honey taste, and I had to utilize the ketchup to give it some moistness. The seasoned fries were good though. Around our table, everyone was kind of whelmed with their entrees as well. Even the desserts, deconstructed brownies, were a let down as well. Dry brownies with too much plain peanut butter to make it palatable. Overall, I appreciate the mission. And maybe for drinks alone, this place is excellent. But maybe, pass on the food.
