Had a party in the back room to celebrate a 30th Birthday! Amazing time - easygoing, helpful and accommodating! Olivia was great and super helpful with the DJ setup! But the night goes to our bartender extraordinaire Aaron! (Hope I'm spelling it right!) unbelievable service!!! Not sure how he managed to memorize the drinks of 30 people, and have your refill ready as you walked toward the bar, but he did!!! His friendly outgoing personality just made the night that much better!!! Thank you for making our night Epic!!!! read more

Repeal XVIII - Bartender Aaron!! Thanks for a great night!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Huntington, New York

The drinks are always delicious and well made, the music is really good, and the atmosphere is welcoming and fun. What really stands out, though, is how kind and friendly the staff are. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure everyone has a great experience. We always enjoy coming here and will definitely be back! read more

The drink I had was good, but the service needs a little bit of help. The bartender never asked me if I wanted anything to eat, but when I finally asked for the check 30 minutes later, he told me there's a minimum credit and debit card charge. I asked him if he can just charge me a credit card fee he said no . I asked if I can get a drink to go. He said they have no cups. I said can I get some food and they told me it'll take minimum 30 minutes for pretzels. You should have a sign up that says that you have a $25 minimum credit and debit card charge. If someone's going in there for one drink and feels like they need to order more or be overcharged, that feels really deceptive. The best thing I had was a conversation with other people at the bar. read more

Me & my husband had our 50th & 60th Bday bash here. We had such a fun time & the staff was so helpful. They really made our night so speacial. I would highly recommend throwing an event here. The ambience was amazing & staff was super plesent! read more

I came here for Major League Trivia, which is always a blast!! I honestly prefer this venue over Industry, since the back beer garden area with the tables and stools is a perfect spot for trivia teams to hang out. The place itself is very nice and has a cool feel to it. It goes really far back and has two bars, with a little stage in the middle for local musicians and performers. In terms of the drinks they serve, they have a lot of good canned craft beer options (not sure what's on tap), that are served in a nice chilled glass. Their cocktails are very creative and taste delicious. My friends got an East meets West (Mezcal, mango puree, fresh lemon, basil simple syrup with tajin chili salt rim & basil leaf) and a Main Squeeze (Blood orange vodka, passion fruit nectar, aperol, elderflower liqueur, lime juice, thyme simple syrup topped with citrus foam & dried rose petals). The east meets west was really good, and the basil really complemented the mezcal in an unexpected way. The main squeeze was also really delicious and tasted like candy, except for a perplexing smokey aftertaste that we couldn't quite figure out. Overall though some very creative and potent cocktails that we definitely want to come back and try more of! My only issue was with how slow the service at the bar in the front was. I feel like those two cocktails shouldn't have taken 15 minutes to prepare (not an exaggeration). Maybe this is an issue with understaffing? read more

We had my daughter's 40th birthday party last Saturday at this venue. The owner Michael , manager Olivia and bartender Andre were fabulous. Very easy to work with. Treated the party as if it was for their own family. They gave us a lot of choices as far as menu, drink packages and times for the event. The venue was perfect for our Gatsby theme but honestly would have been perfect for any theme. We ordered the food from one of their Vendors and it was beautifully displayed and delicious. The drinks were great as well, well crafted and a huge selection. Olivia ran the party and was very competent and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this space for your next event. read more

Still the best cocktails in Huntington... This time I tried the superlative Honey Nut Old Fashioned and it was a definite wow.

We stopped at this bar for a drink while visiting family in Huntington. It had a casual, friendly bar vibe, with a slightly older crowd. There was a band playing that evening, so they do have live music, however, we left before they started playing. The bartenders were friendly and welcoming. Overall, the drinks were just so so. I ordered one of their pumpkin seasonal cocktails, and despite watching the bartender shake it, it arrived looking unmixed. The mixture just wasn't great as it was separating on its own. My wife got their version of a French 75. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, again, just so so. read more

The setup of the place is really cool. I just don't get the tie of Halloween and prohibition... it's also pretty cramped. When I was there, there were only 2-3 bartenders helping a packed out bar...Service was pretty slow, staff wasn't that friendly, and not so professional. I would say that the drinks and shots are a tad overpriced, but tap beer is on point and fairly priced. As for food. They have "bar snacks" I wouldn't call them snacks. My friends and I got the mini hotdogs and mac & cheese bites. Both were close to inedible and totally not worth the $9 I also checked in with Yelp and receive a $3 off coupon to which they blew off and said "oh no that's only for happy hour" which it says nowhere on the coupon. If you're in Huntington I would skip this place. There are so many other places worth going to. read more

To order of $30 to close a.single credit purchase despite inflation is crazy, no hat backwards as per my date for no valid reason (after only finding out in person) this bar should of closed down despite Jon Taffer saving it years ago. come here if you want expensive cocktails and un reluctant bar staff willing to do their job read more

Drinks are okay but expensive. Bouncers are stuck up and snooty. They walk around correct men for a backwards hat????? I'd give 5 stars to the band Yesterdays News for being the only good part about the experience. read more

Repeal is a very well-decorated fun place. The drink menu alone is enough for me to go back for! The vibe is the prohibition era. The DJ played something for everyone. I went to a private party so I can't comment on service at the moment. If you want to have a good time make sure you go to Repeal! Enjoy! read more

Repeal XVIII - pool table, TVS, bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Huntington, New York

I really wanted to like this place, but I will never go back, and I feel the money I spent there was entirely wasted. My wife and I went here tonight during happy hour; it was empty, which should have been all the signal we needed. I ordered the 21st Amendment Mule (100% agave silver tequila house infused with fresh pineapple & chipotle pepper, with a touch of fresh lime juice, basil simple syrup & ginger beer garnished with infused pineapple & basil leaf). My wife ordered a spicy margarita, which was not on the special menu. After a few minutes, I received my drink, but the bartender said he needed to go in the back to get jalapeño for the wife's drink. This was, of course, not a problem. What was a problem was when the bartender made drinks for a party of 5 that came in before going to get the jalapeño for my wife's drink. We contemplated leaving at that point given that it had been 10 min since I received my drink, but decided to stay. Next, the bartender told us that they had no jalapeños. I thought this shouldn't be a problem given that my drink was supposed to have Chipotle-infused tequila (presumably spicy, right?). The fact that the bartender was seeking a jalapeño at all should have been the second sign. My wife pivoted to ordering the Lucky Luciano (House infused cucumber gluten free vodka, fresh lime, simple syrup, club soda, cucumber, salt & pepper). This drink came to us a few minutes later, but by that time, my drink had been there for almost 15 minutes. This all would have all been fine if the drinks were any good. They were not. My drink did not taste like tequila in the slightest, certainly not spicy pepper infused tequila. I feel very confident in saying that this bar does not have Chipotle- infused tequila despite their drink menu's description. The overpowering flavor was simply ginger beer and lime. My wife's drink honestly tasted like rotten cucumber and lime. It was not good. At all. I'm guessing the cucumber infusing in that vodka were very old. Assuming the drinks were what they purported to be, the prices ($13) would have been more than reasonable. The atmosphere in the bar was a cool, dark, speakeasy vibe. Looked cool. But 100%, we will never step foot in there again. There are too many better options for mixed drinks in Huntington. Prime, Crabtree's, Shed, just to name a few. I'm not necessarily blaming the bartender. I just don't think the management equipped him with the products he needs to do his job. I personally worked in restaurants for over 10 years and bartended for 5. My wife worked in restaurants as well. I take no joy writing this review. Again, I really wanted to like this place, but it was a very disappointing experience. read more

Wow!!!! My husband and I hosted our daughter's surprise 30th birthday party last Saturday at Repeal XVlll. It was everything and more that we hoped it would be; and we were thrilled with the service, food and the incredible ambience of this establishment. The owner, Michael, was so easy to work with. Any questions we had were always responded to very quickly. The food that was brought in through this venue was out-of-this world. We actually discovered places in Huntington that we had never dined in before and we will now go to in the future based on the food we had at the party! The service was incredible, one bartender would see my husband and I with an empty glass and remedy the situation very quickly...it was unbelievable. Everyone at the party had a great time. This venue has such a cool vibe. I highly recommend this wonderful place if you want to have a special gathering whether its a milestone birthday or a welcome party for a wedding. I think you be so happy with your decision just like my husband and I were and most important, our daughter, the guest of honor LOVED her party! read more

Cool prohibition vibe. Good, hand-crafted cocktails, and experienced bartenders. Live music on the weekends. We had a passionfruit tequila drink that was really good, and one with a cool foam top, I think called Giggle Juice (not on the menu), that was really good. Totally recommend. Tried two drinks: (1) the Mezcal Dragon Foam - Mezcal, dry curacao, ginger root simple syrup, lime juice topped with dragon fruit coconut orange blossom foam garnished with dehydrated lemon & mint sprig - wow; gorgeous, and delicious! And then (2) The Goon Passionfruit - tequila (or you can opt for spirit of your choice), Passion Fruit, Lime juice, Aperol, Amaretto, Dry Curacao, shaken with muddled strawberries and garnished with strawberry & Mint sprig. Wow! Amazing. Check it out. read more

The cocktails here are top notch! The bartenders here are top notch! They know how to make some high quality cocktails. The live music on a Friday night was awesome. My husband and I were truly enjoying our time here. However, at 9:22 P.M., the vibe was killed. The security dude made a point to come up to my husband after we were on our second round of drinks to tell him that his backwards hat was no longer welcome in their establishment. He reluctantly complied and conformed to their new pop-up rule. We weren't aware that the feds monitored hat wear during the prohibition era as well. . Unfortunately, this little interaction persuaded us to leave instead of staying for another round. read more

I will go back for sure read more

Repeal XVIII - Cabernet - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Huntington, New York

If you're not dressed for a wedding, go elsewhere. This bar, neatly tucked in the heart of Huntington has recently decided to play fashion police and refused entry to patrons for otherwise normal evening attire. Are you a male with a hat? You're not allowed in. Are you a female with the exact same hat? Step right up! Do your pants have more than the normal amount of pockets? Better go home and change! Is your v neck t shirt too deep? Sorry boss, can't come in. BUT if you happen have a set of visible breasts and two X chromosomes, you're first in line girl! Essentially, if you're wearing anything other than business or formal attire, you'll not only be criticized by the door staff who are repeating the words of the owner, you won't be let in. My friend was lambasted by the security guard who insisted he was wearing sweatpants (denim cargo pants) and refused to allow us into the bar. In other instances, I have seen men denied entrance because of a hat, but a corral of women in hats permitted to enter. Strange how that works! In our requests to speak with the owner or manager, we were told to "call him" as if that were a viable option. Let me just grab his number from my imaginary Rolodex and phone him up! Trying to see the positive side and patronize a local business, this has turned into some sort of power trip by the owners who quite frankly, seem to turn away thousands of dollars in patrons night after night. It makes you wonder based on the other reviews how this place meets their numbers if nobody is allowed in and the staff pays as little attention to you as possible. I wonder if the drinks are watered down to increase margins to offset the lack of customers allowed in. Makes you think. Oh and the kicker? This was HALLOWEEN WEEK. Imagine that! "Hey let's promote the holiday! Come in dressed up and see all the decorations we have up. And the costumes! But not the costumes with cargo pants. Or sweatpants. Or shirts that aren't specifically in the taste of the owner. OR anyone from any movie, show, or pop culture figure/character who has ever worn a hat in character. But make sure to look at all the decorations that include those elements from the sidewalk as you're lambasted by security. I promise we're such a cool bar once you get in!!!!!!!!!!!". But hey, just listen to their website and "Don't just read about us, come on in and enjoy the ambiance and a cocktail!" I guess do that -- that's IF you're deemed worthy of entrance. In sum, there are phenomenal staff members, more room, better prices and MUCH better atmospheres in virtually any other Huntington village bar than this one. And you might actually be let in to enjoy it! read more

Repeal XVIII - Fixed that for you! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Huntington, New York

A cool bar just off the main Huntington strip which attracts a smaller but still sizable crowd. Drinks are decent and staff is friendly and generally pretty attentive. Bar area is a little narrow, but plenty of space in the back to hangout and dance should you so choose, they have either have DJs or bands play on most weekends. If you're looking to get out and party a bit, but don't want to deal with the insanity of the more popular bars around, this a great option. read more

Vibe was ok. Drinks just ok they charged for a big ice cubes which is nonsense. Im not going back for overpriced drinks then up charging for ice on top. read more

I LOVE speakeasies and prohibition vibes and this is just that! On google it comes up at P&Q's but it's actually Repeal. We went in not really knowing what to expect but we're so happy we went! The place is MASSIVE - with a lounge, pool table + beer garden in the back! When you enter, you see small tables with like checker boards under the glass, and then the massive bar. Walking pass the bar, there's more space to sit and hang out, a swing and even a Photo Booth. Behind that is the lounge + garden. Now - the bartender John Kraft is an AMAZING bartender. We all had 3 different drinks from him - our first drink was off the menu then the next two were ones he thought of based on what we like. I started with the crusader's movement (vodka) and it was amazing. I think that may have been my favorite one but honestly they were all so freaking good I can't even tell you! The next one was their cucumber house vodka mixed with a lot of great things and if I remembered what was in it I'd tell you - I think it was mixed with Violet de crem but I might be wrong. I don't even remember the last drink's name but I think he named it the scorpio cancer because Zodiacs duh! It had the orange botanical kettle vodka, lots of other great things, a spritz of rose water and garnished with orange peel and basil. Everything here is amazing and I say order what you like and also stay for a bit, and let John make you a speciality handkrafted cocktail (his last name is Kraft and I'm trying to be witty) ALSO ALSO ALSO Their Pineapple Chipotle Pepper infused Tequila is AMAZING. We took shots and didn't need any chasers. SO freaking good! read more

Absolutely love Repeal! My sister had her 40th birthday in the back room that has a beautiful beer garden that is outdoors. We stuck around for the band after the party ended, hung out and danced much longer then we anticipated being out! Was really a great venue overall and good crowd. The manager Olivia was amazing and took good care of us, Aaron was our bartender and he was fantastic! Great place for a party, excellent staff, creative cocktails. Definitely go for the live band!! read more

Repeal XVIII - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Huntington, New York

One of the few places in Huntington with life music. The bands are typically good. However, the service was horrible. The bar was not crowded. We waited for a drink when we first arrived for at least 10 minutes while 3 bartenders talked amongst themselves and texted. When someone they knew came in they greeted them. We finally had our drinks and waited longer, trying to order another. Again we were ignored when we asked for another, as the 3 bartenders huddled together on their phones. We actually had to flag them down just to get a check. All 3 were completely oblivious. As a lifelong resident of this town, I found this behavior rude and unprofessional. We would have stayed longer bringing more revenue to this establishment had we not been ignored. read more

Fun place to go on Fridays and Saturdays to let loose with friends. DJ plays great music all night until 3am, sometimes 4am. Bartenders at the front bar, are beyond experienced and friendly. Also very easy on the eyes. Drinks taste good and it's not difficult to get a drink at the front or the back of the place. The back bar is a bit more relaxed. It has TVs and pool tables. There's also an outside patio for the smokers. Dress nice and act right or access might be denied at the door. Always a great time when I go. This review is for Friday and Saturday nights. Haven't been there on any other day yet. read more

Wouldn't let us in because our friend had on sweatpants. We'd been here before and he wore the same pants. He had a nice shirt on though. Just pathetic to turn down a group of 7 people willing to spend money. Every other bar in Huntington let us in. read more

Way too overpriced, hipster and pretentious. They just changed over from the failed speakeasy concept and now they are trying to pair Prohibition with dance and hip hop. We went on a Sunday night and it was deserted and they were blasting hip hop. They charged a $3 "prep: on the rocks" for two giant cocktail ice cubes. The bar tender was nice and the drinks tasted good, but not a vibe we wanted to stick around for. read more

Repeal XVIII - Prep: Rocks $3 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Huntington, New York

Stopped by here for the first time last Saturday night for pre-dinner drinks and I am most gratified we did. What a great space to come and have a drink. We really got a kick out of the false garage wall entrance and it's "speakeasy" atmosphere. Where the hell else can one find a Gin Rickey on a drink menu anymore? The cocktails were superbly executed and well worth the $12 per drink price tag. I'm hearing a lot of complaints about this, but this is what one would expect to pay for a fine cocktail made with top grade ingredients and boutique-style spirits. Hellfire bitters, mescal, and fresh lime juice?? I'm in! The space itself is pretty sleek. Dim lighting, sofas, and soothing live entertainment makes for a romantic setting and a great place to bring a date. Would definitely return here if in the area for a pre or post dinner drink. Top notch! Highly recommend.. read more
