Toomey's Tavern - Amityville, New York

They have a new bar outside! Say goodbye to the boat. This new bar has 16 new barstools. Been going here for years. Place is solid and on a Wednesday we even got to park in the parking lot. Place usually has a great band.

Came here on a cool summer Friday night with a group of 10 for dinner and some drinks. No issues getting a table in the covered tent towards the back. That being said, parking around here is generally not great and make sure you look out for a few scattered no parking signs!

Wait staff was friendly and very helpful, although a little bit slow to get us our food it seemed.

Getting to the food though, we had the soft pretzel, beef nachos, and mozzarella sticks to start. Nothing that would blow your socks off, but good quality bar snacks for sure. As for dinner I had their signature which is LARGE and IN CHARGE while my girlfriend had the all dya egg sandwich, each with a side of fries. I think everything could have used a bit more salt, and that is coming from someone with a salt sensitive pallete, but also shockingly, I think the oddball of the egg sandwich was actually the star of the show, but maybe that is just the Long Islander in me talking. Although I just stuck to tried and true coors light, the cocktails looked good and didn't skimp on the pours, which is always a plus.

The real attraction of this place though is the nautical charm right along the canal. Hell, if you have a boat, you can even dock right on the premise and likely have a better shot of finding a spot there than on the street for your car. The vibe was chill with some live music playing too, but not too loud where you wouldn't be able to just chat with friends comfortably.

Definitely a place I'd look to come back to for hanging out, especially if you've got a nice day on your hands.

Great location on the pier and water. You can see good views from a number of places. It is clearly a super local and popular place. Most people seem to know the staff and they know clients by name.

Drinks (beers) were hit or miss as some were on a flat side, yet the bartender didn’t even notice.

Food is mostly good. Ordered clams oreganatta, but received stuffed clams, once again the staff didn’t even notice. They were good nonetheless. Fries were good as well.

The “famous” fish sandwich is embarrassing but edible if you are hungry or drunk enough. It was basically four fish sticks on a bun with tartar sauce on the side. These fish sticks looked like they came out of some COSTCO frozen box or something. Do NOT order it under any circumstance!

The staff were too overwhelmed to check in with you or notice that the beer is flat or that they served you a different dish. Generally, the place seemed understaffed for when it got busy. The bill was actually illegible and incoherent, so you wouldn’t know what you paid for.

Nice little nook of a spot. They have live music and events sometimes. The main seating is outside at tables along with - small covered dock section and the inside bar and eating area.

Service, food and drinks can take a very long time so be patient and don’t come if you might need to rush!

Went there for lunch. Got there at noon and placed our orders at 12:20. 1 hour and 15 minutes later we got our food. My wife said hers was tasteless and warm. Mine was tasteless and cold. So was my brother’s ( we got the same) the fries tasted like they were left over from yesterday. My wrap was lukewarm AT BEST. We were here a couple months ago and weren’t happy but we attributed it to the place being extremely busy so we tried again today. I/WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. Fool me once shame on me fool me twice…never going back

Love this place! Great food and drinks on the water at a reasonable price, unheard of around here. Quite a few spots for docking a boat but must get there early, they do fill up. Love the love bands during the summer.

Fantastic service. Great food along with huge portions. Extremely long wait time until appetizers and meal came out.
