    If you like wings and a large selection of brews, this is the place for you.  They have a wing special almost every night for 10 cents per wing.  Their house beer, the Croxley Blonde, is brewed at Blue Point Brewery out in Patchogue.  

    I have almost nothing bad to say about this location.  My only qualms would be that sometimes your waitress disappears, but I have just notified another waitress and the issue is immediately rectified.  

    This is seriously one of my favorite places to eat.  Very casual, clean place to enjoy food and drinks with friends.

    Mon-Thur .10$ wings can't beat it

    Always a good time

    Get the Stella flowing and fill me up with cheap but tasty buffalo wings and I dare you to get me to write a bad review.

    Billy from Croxely reached out to me after the first part of this review was posted. There seemed to be some confusion that night, and he didn't understand the request at the time. He apologized and also offered our group a gift card to make up for it. I appreciate the gesture and will give them another try.

    It gets packed out and really loud but hey its a bar after all. You go for the amazing beer selection and 10 cent wings. The beers are pricy but then again most are imported and you have probably never heard of it until now.

    25 cent wings Monday and Tuesday, nice. There wings are made the  way wings should be made, no batter or breadcrumbs just deep fried butter hot sauce. If you get them the hottest it's like chowing down in Buffalo. . They also have a huge selection of beers. Their dinners and sandwiches are ok. The atmosphere is very cool. Large  TV's  it is a sports bar!

    Went here last night for a friend's surprise birthday party. Ordered the chicken fingers. They arrived really dark and one was pretty much burnt. I asked the waitress for a replacement and before I finished my sentence she asked if it was because they were burnt.

    Second plate arrives, it's much lighter like they should be. I tore a piece apart to find it pink inside. I didn't want anything else or a replacement so I was stuck eating curly fries since I had filled up on those waiting for my food.

    Nothing too special here. Pretty good wings, a very good beer selection.
    Noisy, no atmosphere, a big open space.

    Good place to stop, have a couple of beers and a plate of wings, then move on.

    While a 2nd chance worked out good for Buffalo Wild Wings, it did not for Croxley's. When we walked in the door, the hostess tries to seat us in the middle of the restaurant. I asked for a booth and she then proceeds to seat us right next to a party of 10. I ask for the booth in the corner and she gave it to us but was so hesitant. I don't know why this was such a problem as we were a party of 4. However, the waitress was beyond nice. She gave us recommendations about everything and was very friendly.
    We came for 10 cent wings and we ordered almost every flavor of course. The Korean chicken flavor disappointed me most because it tasted exactly like the honey bbq flavor, when it was supposed to have a garlic taste. I asked the waitress if it was possible that they brought us out 2 honey bbqs and she gave me some Korean sauce which still tasted the same as the honey bbq. Thankfully the honey bbq was very good though. I'm pretty sure my bf ate a plate by himself. We agreed in the end that all the wing flavors (chili powder, honey bbq, korean) in general just had such a sweet taste and that their very small in size. We didn't order the fighting Irish because the waitress said that was also sweet and the thai peanut had a peanut butter taste which the guys didn't want. They thought the hot tasted like medium, which I thought too.
    Soo, that was it for the wing flavors. I was very glad that the sides were still as good as last time. The Irish nachos and onion rings were really yummy. The onion rings were so huge that I was only able to eat 3 or 4 of them after the wings and beer. Speaking of, the beer menu also had a nice selection which was to be expected. I agree with other yelpers that the beer menu was more impressive than their food one. Overall, I think the bf and I enjoyed Buffalo Wildwings more which works out because we get to save on gas. I'm really glad we got to do wing night though!

    I went here with my girlfriend. Good selection of beer.  I went on wing night and the wings were ok. It's definitely a college atmosphere.

    I'm in between 3 and 4 stars for this place. From what I saw the inside was surprisingly nice and clean. TV's all around to catch your favorite sports team (watched my knicks play :) ) My waitress was friendly. I ordered medium boneless wings and although they are better than most places because they aren't just chicken nuggets in hot sauce (they are chucks of chicken)..the chicken was really dry and just didn't have flavor. I also ordered a Pear cider which was good light and refreshing I would get that again. Took forever to get the bill/pay, boneless wings were nothing to rave about. But I will come back to try out other drinks on the menu and to hang out with friends.

    Best beer food around - if they don't have it you don't want it.
    Only thing is... if you go with someone that will only drink a Bud, its not here.

    Food is very good and the wings are excellent.

    Lets start with the bar, we have luscious Chris, always eager to take away your empty glass and fill your day with smiles.  Lets not forget about daytime bartender Jess, never letting you down filling your finest bear mug with the warmest cat piss around and last but not least we have Adam, slinging shots like a cowboy from the Wild West wearing assless chaps never afraid to take his shirt off and rub canola oil all over his nipples while always keeping a professional demeanor

    Croxley's Ale House has earned its well-deserved reputation as the go-to franchise for a massive beer selection and endless plates of chicken wings. Its locations in Franklin Square and Rockville Centre are highly successful and have perfected the formula of beer + food = good times.

    But something has gone horribly wrong in the world of Croxley's ... and that something is the Farmingdale location. Situated next to the railroad tracks on the town's popular Main St., this particular Croxley's welcomes customers in with the stench of stale beer, the derisive glare of an inattentive staff and food salty enough to kill a room full of 4-ton elephants.

    As a bar on Long Island, the Farmingdale Croxley's is what one might expect. It's loud, crowded and packed to the gills with 'bros' and 'hos.' It's hard to get a drink at the bar and it's even harder to have a conversation with anyone unless they are speaking directly into your eardrum. There are numerous TVs playing whatever sporting event is most popular that night, but there is also a completely useless and inept DJ spinning Coldplay/Jay-Z mashups out of his three year old Macbook. Do they pay this man? Is he the owner's nephew? Does he work for wings?

    Now onto the food. Each and every time I eat at the Farmingdale Croxley's, something makes me want to go outside and stuff a handful of cigarette butts in my mouth. On a recent night, I noticed they had added new wing flavors to their menu. Looking for something besides the usual buffalo and BBQ standards, I ordered the Thai peanut wings, thinking I would receive an Asian-inspired spicy plate of wings with a hint of peanut. What I got was a gloppy mess straight out of the dungeon of rejected Jif recipes. The only thing 'Thai' about this dish is that it made me want to "thai" a noose around my neck for ordering it. The nasty sauce slathered all over these sad wings was pure peanut butter - and as the wings got colder, the sauce got grosser. Seriously, avoid the Thai peanut wings, you would be better off going outside to the railroad tracks and licking the third rail just as the next train rolls in.

    As for the Farmingdale location's other wings, they are dry, sour and don't even come with carrots and celery. The rest of the food does not fair much better. If you want to end your miserable life with a salt-induced heart attack, order the nachos. Your lips will literally burn from the amount of salt. So much so, that you will need a keg of beer to keep your mouth moist.

    But good luck ordering that beer, because the staff at Croxley's in Farmingdale is about as focused as a troupe of syphilitic chimpanzees. My last lovely waitress would not look any of us in the eyes and didn't clue us into the $4 beer special. Waiting on tables is a tough job and I prefer to give restaurant staffers a major break, but Croxley's in Farmingdale is a repeat offender.

    What angers me so much about this location is the success and positivity I've experienced at the Franklin Square and Rockville Centre locations. Where those two succeed in atmosphere and consistency, Farmingdale fails miserably in every conceivable way.

    Take the extra time to get out to the other locations. Or just stay home and empty a salt shaker and jar of peanut butter into your mouth. At least it won't be as loud.

    Awesome food!  The beer selection is HUGE. I wish they had more big brand domestic beers though. TV's all over the place in here.

    Some of the best wings on Long Island. What makes them better is that they are only 20 cents on Sunday. Just a great place to hang out

    No, No No.  This place used to be okay at best when it first opened and the only thing it has going for it is drink selection.  

    This place may be spacious but I feel like I walked into a wet warehouse when I walk in this bar.  It smells like stale beer.  They rarely ever play music and always have on several tv's featuring sports and various activities involving bloody men beating each other.  

    One time when we came here later in the night there was no one sitting in the seating area and the place was dead, the security guard "warned us" that we weren't allowed to sit there since we didn't order food.  I said we would move and he said no it's ok we could stay. Oh thank you so much.. how kind of you.

    Another night we came here there was a guy who I had seen at another bar who was  a bit of an oddball and then I also saw him walking on the sidewalk near us mere minutes before we came in here.  When we arrived the bouncers at this place were dragging this guy out by the neck and had him in a choke hold.  They then proceeded to throw him hard to the ground causing him to hit his head on the ground.  My friends were alarmed by this and asked him if he was ok, he seemed injured and we argued with the security that this was wrongful treatment for a bouncer.  They were acting like law enforcement!! They nearly choked this guy for doing nothing.  If he was so drunk and unruly why did I just see him walking totally fine minutes before.  He was just an oddball and they wanted him out. Sorry but you have no right to put anyone drunk or not in a choke hold and or possibly give them a head injury.  Call the cops if you have to, you are not the police!!

    In the summertime the patio is open and it opens up into the bar itself so it's like being inside a bar that allows smoking.  I don't know how they get away with it but it's gross.

    I hate this bar it's awful all around, the atmosphere, the bartenders who don't wait on you, the bouncers that think they can strangle people, .. ugh stay away!

    I can't get enough of this place. Amazing amazing amazing hot wings. I go to Croxley at least once a week, it's an absolute must and I'm completely obsessed with their wings. Croxley offers a wide variety of things on the menu as well, and they're delicious. I haven't had a bad experience at Croxley, a well deserved five-star!

    I come here every chance I get. My bf introduced me to this spot.  Of all places to find the best chicken pot pie, it was in Long Island that I finally found what I was searching for.  If 20 cent wings wasn't an incentive enough, they also make great burgers.  We got the chicken pot pie as always and a buffalo burger.  Did I mention they also have beer specials for $5?

    Love the wing specials. The wings are very good too. Of course they make up a bit of the $$ on the beer. But definitely a great spot with a good atmosphere.

    Croxley's is getting 3 stars from me as an average of what i consider to be a 4 star beer list and 2 star food menu

    let's start with the beer list - if you want it, chances are croxley's extensive beer list (68 taps + a seemingly endless array of bottles) has it, but at a price - i know craft beers are not priced like 7-eleven stock, but I've seen alot of what they have here at other establishments for considerably less $$ - to be fair, the taps are semi-reasonably priced, the bottles are where they go a bit overboard price-wise

    on to food: croxley's does have a very wide variety of bar food type offerings, and their wings as many have stated are outstanding - when its a 10 cent wing day, home run...when wings aren't on special they suddenly only come in orders of 10 and the price jumps up to over a dollar per wing (seriously?)...other offerings are decent but not on par with other similar establishments in the area

    overall not a terrible place, but for my $$ either Republic Pub across the street from here or Corry's Ale House in Wantagh are way better foodwise, and the beer selections are almost as good at and less expensive too

    Looks like my 200th review is going back to my old stomping grounds on LI, for Croxley's Ale House!  Along with The Library, this is one of my favorite bars in Farmingdale, and for that matter, in most of Nassau County.

    The interior is laid out very well.  There's plenty of counter space for patrons to grab one of Croxley's 68 tap beers, and lots of tables and chairs (most easily moved when it gets crowded at night).  When the weather gets nice, they open up these two "garage door-esque" windows, providing an uninterrupted outdoor/indoor space facing towards the rest of Main Street.  

    'Tis the season for Pumpkin beer, so I grabbed one of their house specialties, rimmed with cinnamon & sugar....delicious! (pic: <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mVA9u1mMyPWf4aJnGpFstw?select=dkqJmMYw-q9Gd4jYeU0c_w#PTICa48cqepqjyKPIf3b2g">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>)  Bartenders are friendly and prices are reasonable, with a couple of buybacks to be expected every now and then.

    I haven't eaten here, although my friend once ate someone else's unattended wings and ended up getting kicked out...I'll come back to Yelp and comment on the food eventually.

    Everything else considered though, Croxley's is definitely worth a beer drinker's patronage!  They've also got locations in RVC, Franklin Square, Smithtown, Brooklyn and Manhattan.

    Sunday tipster for the hipsters.... $.20 wings (all day) orrr.....

    Brunch (12-3pm)...
    $12.95 for many breakfast specials including an omelete of the day (it was western), potatoes and TWO drinks.

    So... you can get two drinks at the bar and five wings for $13 OR an entire breakfast and two drinks for $12.95. Win. The drinks are pretty good too. House branded blonde brews or bloody mary's.

    Besides that ramble the eats here are good, but heart attack worthy. Bacon on everything (not that that's really an issue). They have all the games scattered on different TV's amongst the place so you're bound to find a good angle to watch your game. The crowd comes late here, so if you show up 1245 or earlier you can sit where ever your little heart desires. The crowd roots for the home team and gets lively when the Jets start to stink (most of the time). Zinggggg. Def my new Sunday spot!

    Hands down best wings I've ever had, and best part about it? 10 and 20 cent wing specials! The wings are nice, meaty, juicy, and filled with excellent flavor. Their grilled chicken sandwich is also top notch, filled with flavor and awesomeness. Honestly if you even remotely like wings, GO HERE!!!

    I love the beer selections as has been said ad naseum by every reviewer. Here is the real secret to Croxleys... Hoegaarden Mussels. Hands down as good a dish you can get for 12$.
    And I love the day bartender Jess. She definitely takes care if her guests.

    Have to judge a bar on its beer selection.  Its my job.  If that is the case, Croxley's may be one of the best around.  

    A menu that covers a few pages of everything from seasonals, IPAs, stouts & porters, lagers & ales, anything you could possibly want.

    The food side is essentially just regular fried bar food.  Even if it says they have a shrimp Po' Boy & a Maryland crab cake sandwich, make no mistake about it, there is nothing special about it.

    The appeal here is the beer.  Plain and simple.  A wall of taps, a knowledgeable staff, and a menu that could keep you busy all weekend.

    Clearly, they have an awesome selection of beers. It's one of the few places I'm actually excited to drink beers at. And, they have outside seating which usually (surprisingly) is quite empty and quite. This is good, because I generally don't like the noise or the behavior of the other people who frequent Croxley's. They're loud, they rude, they seem like the should be drinking Budweiser and Milwaukee's Best. It's a great place to hang around when you can find a quite place somewhere, but when it fills up its a great place to run from. Unfortunately, they're usually very busy or about to close (and they close far too early for my liking). And, I'm annoyed by the thousands of T.V.s they have everywhere.

    Croxleys has a GREAT beer selection.

    And apparently good wing - $0.10 on certain days! But I don't' eat wings, so I got boneless and I did not like them AT ALL. They were TOUGH.  

    I would try Croxleys again and just not get the boneless.  Seems like a great place to hang out drink and socialize, just don't expect a five star meal. Expect bar food.

    The beers will get me back.

    Croxley introduced me to many beers, and helped to increase my appreciation for the good brews.

    I appreciate the establishment for that. I don't think it's a matter of outgrowing the place, rather I've come to find other locales with awesome beer as well, and taps that change over time.

    Also, the wings. They're pretty good. Most of the menu is decent. The service often leaves me tapping my fingers though, which is a deal breaker. I have found other real beer bars in the area with a varied selection, more interesting food (and I love Irish & British fare), and much better service. I still stop here from time to time, but less frequently because there's better out there.

    This hurts me to do, it really does

    Croxley's (RVC location) was the first bar/pub that introduced me to craft beers and what good beer drinking is all about. It started a love affair that continues to this day. Their wings for me too, were something I craved and would seek out

    I have been coming to the Croxleys in Farmingdale since it opened and especially after my last visit (Last Tuesday) I don't know if I will be eager to return.

    First the positives-
    This is a great bar to go to if you want to taste and try a whole bunch of different beers, they have a huge tap selection as well as a very large bottle selection, they have seasonal taps that rotate as well, so always take a look at whats new and in season.

    These are seriously some of the best wings I have every had, I get them mild when I just want a light bite, and I get them with the super hot and gimme some on the side when I need something particularly spicy.

    Wing nights are a GREAT deal currently you can get 10 cent wings Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with 20 cent wings on Sunday and Saturday until 5PM.

    And now why I question going back anymore. . . .

    The service is terrible here from start to finish
    The hostesses always look at you like they can't be bothered finding you a seat or a table

    Once you so sit down you will now wait anywhere from 5-15 min just to see a waitress and if your lucky you will see a busboy whom if you ask about 3 t times will at least get you some water,

    The waitress are hit and miss, some are really friendly and knowledgeable about the beers and make you feel welcome, then there are a few that seem to act as if they are doing YOU a favor just by coming to take your order. I rarely get anything additional without asking for it at least 2 times (blue cheese, extra napkins, water, the check!)

    If I didn't love the wings so much I would never come back her to send them a message. The few times I have been just at the bar the service is pretty quick and attentive, just consider yourself warned if you sit down for food.

    Without a doubt my favorite place for wings for almost 15 years since being introduced way back when in Franklin Square.  The Farmingdale location is their newest which opened 2 years ago and the one I've most recently frequented.  When I was living in Long Beach my roommates and I would go almost every other Sunday to Crox for their 20 cent wings.  We would plow through plates of them.  My favorite are mild, honey with extra blue cheese, but all styles are excellent.  No matter how you order 'em you won't be disappointed.

    Not only are their wings famous, but they are almost as famous for their beers on tap.  About 50 on tap from all over the world.  Make sure you check out the paper beer menu before you make your choice.  They also love to brag about the fact that they don't carry any Bud or Miller.  Their burgers are really good and the sweet potato and cajun fries hit a home run.  The Ale House Burger is like a gourmet Big Mac with1000 island dressing.

    I almost forgot to mention their brunch.  The Monte Cristo is insane served on french toast with melted ham and swiss.  I drown it with maple syrup and wash it down with the unlimited screwdrivers.  

    Great place to meet up with friends and watch a sporting event or even a date destination even though it can get really loud .  All Long Island locations are 5 stars with Farmingdale my favorite because it's so big.  NYC Crox is a bit questionable although I hope they open a Crox in Astoria.  If the owners are reading this you are sitting on a goldmine if you bring one to Queens.

    I've been to the Croxley Ale at the Franklin Square location before, and from what I can remember, I thought the food and service was better there.

    This location was ok. The place is huge (way bigger than Franklin Square) and they had tons of tv's but I think that was the only positive.

    I tried the Croxley Blonde ale and thought it was good.  Food was very "meh".  The fried calamari was very plain. I'd give it a 2 star. The popcorn chicken was better, but by a slight margin, so 2.5 star there.

    Now the main reason for going to Croxley's (well besides the beer) -  the wings. Man, I remember them being so much better, but boy were they bad! Very dry. No flavor. I'd give it 1.5 or 2 stars. Had I come on 10cents wings night, I still would have been paying too much.

    The service wasn't that good either. The waitress barely cracked a smile and had a terrible attitude as if I shot her brother or something.

    I don't think I'll be heading back there anytime soon.

    Going to avoid a narrative review here and just do one "category style"

    Beer - 5 stars: The selection is almost too big, but the prices are not jacked up into the stratosphere.

    Decor- 3 stars:  clean, but nothing special.  The bar set up is not ideal, you need a beer menu to navigate the brews here, perusing the tap handles isn't really an option.

    Crowd- 3 stars: pretty cool, but douche-baggy people piling their coats on stools that they're nowhere near is a full star minus.  There are coat hooks everywhere, dickheads.  Stop monopolizing prime real estate with your big ugly coat.

    Food- 2.5 stars:  Granted we only had appetizers but the Nachos were AWFUL, and the "hot" wings had a sauce on them that only met the absolute minimum requirements for a hot sauce.  The calamari wasn't bad but would have benefitted from a few more minutes in the fryer.  The sweet potato fries lacked flavor, but the Brooklyn Brown infused gravy they came with was very good.  The chicken fingers were chicken fingers, but a very small portion for the price.

    Service- 5 stars:  Bartenders were quick, friendly, and bought back at least 7 beers for our party.  

    Location- 5 Stars: A very short walk from the Farmingdale train station.  It felt great to not have to drive home from a spot so far away from my house.

    4 stars total because of the beer, the service, and the location.  I may jack this up to five should I try some grub that is a bit more pleasing.

    I like beer.  Beer likes me.  Beer makes me happy on Friday and/or Saturday nights.

    I'm glad I finally went here.  We went on a Friday night and expected it to be packed but it was not.  It had a decent crowd but we soon realized for a normal-size bar, that crowd would symbolize being packed.  However, this space used to be The Downtown *tear* and without the former stage, it's a huge open space to socialize and drink.

    The beer selection is ridiculous (in a good way).  They don't sell your every day, normal, let's stop at 7-11 and get a 6-pack kind of beer.  They also have booths where you can sit and eat and a small outside patio with tables for you smokers out there.

    Why 4 stars instead of 5?  The crappy jukebox.  $2 for an internet song?  Ridiculous!  Also, the selection of songs is mediocre.

    Great beer selection, plenty of room, and enough to TVs to make this the best place for watching seven football games at once on Long Island.

    Yeah, beer first - this is why you come here. Great selection, skewed more towards the domestic micros than imports (though your usual Heineken/Guinness/Coronas are all here). They have multiple Goose Island pale ales. Kyle is in his happy place. They explicitly don't serve Bud/Coors/Miller, which is funny elitist touch until your loser friends won't go there if there's nothing they like. As far as the menu goes, it's pub fare and pretty good, though a little expensive without seeming worth it. Mondays and Wednesdays are 10 cent wing nights -- and the wings here are good, if a little vinegar-y sometimes.

    Unlike their Long Island beer bar niche competitors, there's plenty of space - it used to be a live music venue. The bar area might actually be larger than the whole of Effen Gruven, and there's fifty or so tables plus a cool outdoor patio for people watching on Main Street. (Warning: it's right next to a train station. Trains are loud.) There are flatscreens everywhere, too -- you won't be at a loss for games to watch.

    Downsides: They hardly ever change up their draughts. So while it's unlikely you'll every tire of the 70something beers they have on tap, if you're an alkie like me.... Plus while they have several dozen TVs, hopefully what you want to watch is already on. Because to change any of the channels is some kind of crazy rocket science that none of the staff knows how to do.

    Also and this can't be expressed enough how annoying this is because I never carry cash -- they ONLY take American Express. Lord knows why, probably to save money on processing fees, but if I'm paying $10.50 for a hamburger do you really need to make me walk over to the mid-80's ATM hidden in the corner at the end of the night and spend an extra five bucks in bank charges? This actually does come into play in the "where do we go tonight" decision-making process for my group.

    I came here a few years back when it was still called The Downtown. Since then it has been bought by the Croxley Ale House people.

    The bar are is small but nice. They had plenty of tap beers and enough room to be comfy while sucking down some booze.

    I did not try any of the food, but it did look delicious as the waitresses carried them by our table. Located right by the LIRR and has a decent amount of parking outside. Good Thai joint next door.

    I had a pretty good night catching comedian Jim Norton live. It was a few days before Christmas and other local comedians had stopped in to see Norton perform as well. Some of the famous names included Patrice O'Neal and Rich Vos as well as Norton's radio partners Opie and Anthony.

    Nothing to go out of your way to see, but if you are in the location and need a spot to down some frosty beverages, then I would recommend checking it out.

    I am big fan of the Croxley's in RVC.  When I realized that they were opening one in Farmingale I could not wait will they opened.  

    Upon grand opening it seems that they still have the huge BEER SELECTION as well as the same menu.  

    Atmosphere is a bit different from RVC .  Farmingdale has more of a bar atmosphere where RVC has a old pub atmosphere.

    Food is good with an English/American style menu that consist of brats, meatloaf with mash, burgers, wings, etc...

    What I do like the most about this place is in the summertime where they open the front area into a small patio for some outdoor fun.

    What a surprise when I came here and the bar was filled with New Yorkers visiting their parents in Long Island! I knew there was a good beer bar in Farmingdale, the land of the Nutty Irishmen.

    The bar is loooong and there are many seats. The beer list is extensive and wonderful, and the bartenders actually know what they're talking about. Sadly, like most good LI beer bars, Croxley's gets packed with cranberry/vodka and corona drinkers by 10:30 pm. Go early, get a seat at the bar, and put the blinders on.

    Beer Palace

    I have to admit this place is way too sterile for me.  I love the Croxley location in Franklin Square- it is dark and looks like a pub should look.  This place looks more like a cafeteria painted black.

    The bar is sterile- just a wall full of beer taps - nothing to make it seem like a cozy spot to drink a yummy brew.  Instead it feels like you should grab a tray, put a beer on it and move down the line - blech.  

    The selection of beers is fine enough- there are plenty to choose from.

    Another odd thing- for a place that specializes in beer, the mens room only has two urinals... go figure.  It would seem to me that you would have more of those available...

    Average place, I doubt I'd go back

    Parking on street and in the back.

    This Croxley's is very different from the other Croxley's if you have had a chance to visit them. Located on the corner, this ale and eatery wraps around with several black metal tables stationed outdoor. Inside, there are about another 30 tables. This Croxley's appears more like a restaurant than the expect bar. The bar area has the ~60 taps all stretched against a metal wall. The beer selection is the expected selection you would find at other bars, Brooklyn Lagers, Blue Point, Dogfish, Sam Adams, Stella, and lots more. Sorry Budweiser and Coors Light fans. There is none of that in this bar! There are about 15-20 seats by the bar and throughout the restaurant there are about two dozen flat screen TV's. The ambiance of this Croxley's is more hip and modern than cozy. I kind of like the one in Franklin Square more.

    The specials are the same as other Croxley's, the best days being Monday and Tuesday when 10 cent wings and $4 blondes are available. There are the usual specials each day, which can be viewed on the website. The bartenders were pretty new and some were not aware of the specials, $1 off on weekdays, and wound up charging quite a few patrons until one of the other bartenders asked what she was doing. We were one of the victims, but disregarded it since she didn't know better.

    We ordered some wings and beer, and then the burger and ale for $10.95, which was anything from amazing. The burger was very typical and boring, cooked to my liking, but nothing to rave about. The sweet potato fries were delicious as always. Definitely get those if you haven't tried them yet.

    The men's bathroom was pretty small with 2 urinals, 2 stalls, and 2 sinks all in a very confined space. They could have done a better job with the spacing, because I can imagine this bathroom getting very very cluttered when people are trying to walk in and out.

    In all, Croxley's has some great specials, but this was not up my alley from what I was expecting at the usual Croxley's. It was very nicely laid out but felt empty somehow. I would have liked for it to be a little more cozy. Beer selection may be very unusual if you are not from the New York City area, but otherwise, very typical for the locals.
