    Walking into the former Public House was WILD! It literally caused a flashback of me dancing right where the Pac Man machine was about 20 years ago. We walked in to grab a night cap at the bar after our amazing concert at the Patchogue theater. Only to find ourselves in the middle of a Love Island watch party. The energy was tense, but the vibes at the bar were chill. I had a blueberry mule, while we chatted with the bartender at the bar. He crushed my drink and it was very refreshing. I would come back to see what they have to offer for sure. The vibes looked fun so why not?

    We were looking for a kid friendly place for a Friday night dinner so we figured we would give Standard Rec a try. It is definitely kid friendly and there were a lot of families so we felt right at home. Our server was very friendly and the place has a cool vibe although the furniture was uncomfortable and the table was too small to be really able to play a game and also have food on the table. We were a little underwhelmed by the menu option but we were all able to find something to order. Our main issue is that our food across the board was pretty bland and the portions were small for the pricing. The breading on the kids chicken fingers was coming off when we tried to slice it and my mac and cheese desperately needed salt.

    *"The" best bartender I've had the pleasure to be served by, Joey Standard Rec, I've been patiently waiting to sample your finest! My friends, since Junior High no less have become, I'll be nice, more reserved. We all had a chance to go out and they all choice Ruth's Chris. Fun? Yes but I want a different vibe as I get older. It's Saturday night, gimme a cocktail! And a well crafted one as well. Looking at the cocktail menu, I see Standard Rec is mixing up some incredible drinks. My wife and I had a half day on Friday. I said let's grab a cocktail and lunch in Patchogue? I set the navigation system to Standard Rec. Walking up to the bar, I ask if we can sit here rather than a table. Not a problem sir. So far so good. I ask Joey the bartender to make this Gin Cocktail with Tanguay 10. He laughs and said we don't have that here but let me make you an off the menu cocktail, Bees Knees. We start talking about cocktails and he is a true mixologist. Very impressed so far. We started with the homemade fried mozzarella. Freshly made cheese in a tasty red sauce. This starter is amazing. Good for sharing, I highly recommend it. My lunch comes, my wife & I both ordered chicken sandwiches, I had the Korean Style chicken. Look at my picture: freshly baked ciabatta bread with chicken coated in Korean style sauce. Mmmm mm! My son said Standard Rec has a younger crowd on the weekends. Excuse me, my wife was Ms Pac Man champion in 1986! Young is a state of mind. Standard Rec, from the amazing cocktails to the great bar food, Keep rockin'!

    Great drinks, games and food looks great. We went for cocktails and games, but will definitely eat next time. The atmosphere is fun and casual. It's a large place so able to handle a crowd, bring all your friends. They have all kinds of games from board games to pinball to Jenga. They do host private parties as well. There was one going on while we were there and the food looked really nice. We were just coming in for drinks and to hang out a bit, but I will definitely keep them in mind for the next time as a great place to get a bite.

    Me and my girls went out for my birthday dinner and this place was amazing! Shout out to my server Taylor M! She was so attentive and made sure our drinks were always filled and our bellies were happy! It is a perfect spot for a date night, birthday celebration and great for kids! It's hard to find a restaurant in Patchogue that gives the energy of a bar yet child friendly!! I got the steak and frites and it was cooked perfectly! The prices are reasonable! At the end of our time our waitress gave me a birthday bag that had goodies in it! I felt so special! I recommend going and will rate standard rec 10/10 the vibes are vibing and I hope it stays around the Patchogue strip for a while!!

    This restaurant is so cute! It has a great atmosphere, adorable menu, and really friendly service. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the chicken on top of our nachos was cold. Would like to return and try other items!

    My favorite patchogue spot. Drinks are fantastic, bao buns and disco fries are perfect. Trivia & drag brunches always a hit. My old lady back hates the chairs, but the vibe is worth it. Love it here.

    I cannot say enough about the brunch at standard rec!!! Obviously the first thing I have to say is that Ivy is absolutely amazing without her. I certainly wouldn't have gone for the brunch at all. But now that I have, I am hooked! The food is fantastic and you can't beat the Unlimited mimosas!!! A Great vibe and an amazing staff just make it the perfect time!

    Amazing food and drinks and such a cute ambience! Great place to go with a group of friends.

    All kinds of amazing beverages including a disco ball cup!

    So good, ate here twice in 5 days! Saturday drag brunch with Ivy Stalls! For a one person show, she did it all, DJ, host, trivia, dance dayummm she was fabulous! Drinks were also amazing so many options and a special menu for the Lady Gaga theme! One of our friends went for the unlimited espresso martini, our waitress was on point as soon as one was almost finished we thought we'd have to call her over and she was already there with a new full glass in hand. That is what service should be! I also love how their menu has variations in it. Several moments later ... we came in for Taco Tuesday! Another unique menu to choose some specialty items from. All superb and as suggested from other Yelpers we had the general tso's cauliflower, zero disappointment. Note the Crunchwrap's are filling. Two of us ordered individually and both took a half home. As far as decor and ambiance I want to say it's retro, but really 90's themed with a touch of elegance. Check out the deep colors and pineapple wall paper.

    This was the brunch menu they had .

    Great place to go for some food , drinks , the service was great . They have games if you like games to play . They also do drag shows which I went for and a time was had . If you never went to a drag show here and seen ivy stalls you are missing out on everything . This place is a must go .

Although there was a wait the service was great. They are able to accommodate anyone from large groups down to a single person and it's the perfect family/friendly get together spot for breakfast/brunch. The real home run, though, was the bacon and peanut butter pancakes. Such a great combination of sweet and savory, and the fact that they were able to prepare them gluten-free without sacrificing the taste or texture made them even better. You'd honestly never know they were gluten-free. Great breakfast/brunch spot with creative options and food that actually delivers. Buttermilks is definitely worth a visit, and we'll absolutely be back!

I love this place the vibe is everything, a Caribbean island vibe when you want to feel off the island. I had some family driving in come Nassau/queens and this was the first place I thought of. Great service and spectacular food. Waitress was patient and kind to my grandpa so I appreciate that. I got the veggie/bean patty amazing voted best on island for a reason. Eat strategically though bc it will start to fall apart. My aunt got some shrimp tacos and potatoes (aka papas bravas) with a sweet drizzle on them.

Price - ~$75 (appetizer, entree, drink, tip) Food - 2/5 - lacking for the price. Drinks were lacking. Service - 4/5 - friendly and on point. Ambiance - 4/5 - cool vibe inside with rooftop. Overall - 3/5 - did just about everything right except the food. Service was great. Waitress was very friendly, gave recommendations, and fun to have around. Inside of restaurant had a cool vibe and was nice to be in. Rooftop was awesome and the highlight. Unfortunately the food fell short. For the price, it was pretty lacking in taste. Portion were ok but the food was all pretty lackluster. Mussels had curry in them but could barely taste it. Tacos were pretty bland. The drinks barely had alcohol in them? They tasted fine but had 2 drinks and barely felt a thing (I know my tolerance). Unfortunate on the food when it came to here. Likely would not return. Best Dish - None to note Would Return - Probably not

Food: 2/5 - food was not as good as the last time. Pretzel bun sliders last time were significantly better, also messed up the cook on them (ordered well done, received medium). Had the Tuscan Panini and was 80% bread with a thin chicken cutlet. Very disappointing food this time around. Fries were definitely frozen with some seasoning sprinkled on top. Service: 2/5 - for a place being pretty much empty, you would've expected things to be quick. Not sure if short on staff but took us nearly 40min to get our food. Two couples received their meals before us after seating after us. Honestly did not have great vibes at all. Ambiance: 2/5 - inside itself was fine, cool things hung up and sports bar vibe but just felt lifeless inside. Hard to describe but you can feel it. Overall: 1/5 - despite the 2s, just can't help but give it a 1. Was fine the first time, definitely not returning back after second time. Not to mention tried to get into this place one other time besides the first time but there was nobody to seat us so we just walked in and walked right out.
