Vibe is cute, nice customer service, however I did not enjoy the ice latte. I work in coffee and…read moredecided to treat myself but it was not great. The order is completely wrong by ice first- then thick mocha- then pour shot over ice to add a splash of milk..? Eco-friendly by not having straws (cool!) but then offer stir sticks that are too short that it is not possible to mix the bottom. Bitter sweet experience- if the order is store guidelines then please mix for the customer.

I guess you could say we did the full Locals experience: a surf lesson at Locals Surf School…read morefollowed by a meal at Locals Collective, which shares ownership with, and is only a block away from, the surf school location at Beach 69th. Locals Collective is such a sweet l'il cafe. The vibe is relaxed and lovely, with friendly, helpful staff (especially the woman wearing the ramen cat shirt, whose name I didn't get, unfortunately). The menu is small, but includes some healthy options like the breakfast sammy (with two eggs, avocado, sprouts, tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, and spicy aioli on whole grain toast), acai bowls, wraps, overnight oats and that sort of thing. The breakfast sandwich wasn't very big -- or rather it was a normal size, well filled, but made with commercially standard-size sliced bread, not a hero, sub, or roll -- and was perhaps a touch spendy at $12. The Progeny inhaled the sandwich after snarfing down a sushi roll we'd brought -- and still wanted two large protein bars, after. (I guess surfing cultivates a good appetite.) He said he enjoyed it, though. My iced coffee was a touch weak, but serviceable. There's pleasant seating indoors and out, with a few folks working on laptops. There are quite a few dining options on this particular block, including burritos, pizza, ice cream, and a few full-service restaurants -- but in terms of aesthetics and overall look-feel, Locals Collective takes the win. Surf boards (I think soft tops only) are available for rent at Locals Collective, for $35 / 2 hours. Prices are a bit higher than at Breakwater Surf, which rents for a jaw droppingly low price of $5 an hour -- but Locals does offer additional amenities like changing rooms and a shower, which I'm prima-donna enough to think is worth it. You can also rent a wet suit, which you'll probably want if the air temp is anything cooler than 75F. Waves at Beach 68 are fairly small, but reportedly consistent. We'll be back for more, I'm sure.

Batesys is a barbecue restaurant in Rockaway Beach, just a few blocks from the beach. I stopped in…read morewith a few friends after a beach day on a weekend, and it was a great spot to grab some food and drinks. We started with the Henny Colada, which is an excellent spin on a piña colada. We got the regular size ($13 each plus tip and tax), but you can also get a 25 oz. version packaged in a can to take to the beach, which is a fun option. For food, we ordered a few sides to share: the cornbread, coleslaw, and potato salad, along with a pound of brisket ($32) and a brisket sandwich. The brisket was very good, flavorful and tender, and the barbecue sauce was also very good. The sides were well-priced, enjoyable, and easy to share, and they complemented the brisket nicely. We sat outside, and the service was quick and friendly. If you are in Rockaway, Batesys is definitely worth a stop, especially after a day at the beach. Very much recommend!

There wasn't that many options for what we were looking for so we ended up here. We wanted seafood specifically, but when we asked they did not have what we wanted available even though google maps told us they would. Sad. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the brisket and shrimp skewer. The bathroom always has a line. People come in regardless if they're customers or not to use the restroom. The whole time I was inside (45-ish minutes) at the restaurant there was a line. I gave up and just ended up using baby wipes on my face instead of washing it.

If you love a good marg without as much sweetness, I highly recommend ordering a Skinny Margarita here. The bartender did a spectacular job. All of our drinks were quite strong and very delicious. We had Corn Nuggets as an appetizer. The nuggets were crispy and came with a lovely dipping sauce. The portion was great for 2 people (who aren't super hungry). Given the nuggets were only like $7, I'd say that's a pretty great deal. I also ordered the Tofu Poke Bowl. The tofu in the bowl was the perfect texture (not mushy) and was cooked in a delightfully sweet teriyaki sauce. I would 100% order it again. I couldn't have asked for a better post-beach meal. Con: they only have one bathroom. The line was insane. Other than that, 10 out of 10 would recommend!

It was a little far for me but parking was easy and it was a nice night out . They have a parking lot but I usually go for the street when I can . As we approach you can hear the music see the locals having fun and it was fairly busy . TV's everywhere ! Every sport you can imagine . My daughter and I shared some apps and had a beer or two and some soft drinks . The pretzel was just ok nothing to really rave about . The chicken quesadillas was really good enjoyed that the flavor was robust . The nachos my daughter mostly ate that's what she wanted most . She said they were good maybe just a little heavy on the cheese ? The service was good she was very nice and checked on us a few times . Noise level is high so not a place for conversation but that's ok it's a sports bar pub type so it was expected. The prices were fair and overall it's a good joint . I imagine a hot summers night and kicking back with some cold beer and some nachos or wings . Good location could be a bit sketchy but the clientele here is def all rockaway and I mean all rockaway ! I would give it another try in a setting as I mentioned a Hot summers night !
