Fadeley's Deli Pub

Best pub ever.  I've been going here since I was old enough to have a drink legally.

I stumbled upon this place randomly. My girlfriend saw it on yelp (and that they play Grateful Dead music, etc) and that the beers are plentiful. I no longer live on Long Island but have ran or drove by this place a million times. Well, we've been visiting for almost a month and have been there about 5 times so far. It is probably one of my favorite places. Period. I've been in and out of bars from the East Coast to the West Coast. Steve the bartender (and owner) is one of the nicest, laid back guys I've met behind a bar. It's nothing fancy but it's exactly what I look for in a bar. Cold beer and plenty of it. The name Deli Pub is deceiving, there's no food but who needs food when there's a ton of beers to try? For as long as I come back to Long Island to visit family and friends, I will regularly make the trek over to Fadeley's.

A story about my first encounter with Steve at Fadeley's: My girlfriend and I take a bike ride up to the bar (maybe around 1pm on a Sunday) to find the door locked. As we were sitting there on our bike's a man walked up and said "hi." We said "hello" back. I asked this man, "are you the owner?" He said, "I might be..." I asked "are you open?" His response: "I can be." So, with all that said, we had ourselves a great first time at Fadeley's. We pulled our bikes in the bar, took a seat, drank some beer and made a new friend. I highly recommend this place.

Okay, if you like the dead, German beer and a laid back atmosphere, this is your place! There's no deli in the deli pub and if your looking for a mixed drink or liquor, don't look here. With that said if you like great beer, music, people and overall entertainment and atmosphere this is the place. Yuppies be warned: this is not your place (Para Belle down the street is great though, seriously I was yuppish at one point and Para Belle rocks!). If you're a dead head and you don't stop here for a visit;  One day you'll hear about how great this place is and unfortunately, you'll feel nothing but shame.
