  I'll always remember this place as the bar my cousin took me to when I was 18. We wanted to play darts and of course, drink. Somethings never change as me and him still come once a couple of months usually a pregame dart session before we go elsewhere. Beer is priced good and 2 dart boards a long with pool tables. Most recently had a not terribly bad, more of an annoying experience while playing darts and 2 hideous broads who were clearly obliterated kept trying to dance on us while we were playing darts. Not to mention that I was only a beer deep so there was no way in hell I was going whale hunting. A lot of good memories here especially from when I was under 21 but definitely not a hang out spot for me

  This is probably the most unusually located bar I have come across on LI.  It is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Holbrook, seems like the person that did this zoning is the one that zoned all of New Jersey.
  
  Inside, it is a typical bar that is square in nature with a bar on the left side, and a pretty decent sized area with tables on the right.  All the typical dive bar staples like darts, golden tee golf, jukebox, and nut dispensing machines.  
  
  Unlike most of the other dive bars on LI, this one has decided that a bud bottle should be $3!  I am sick of going into crap bars and paying $5 for a 40 cent bottle of bud.  Yeah if I am in some swank lounge or something I will pay more for drinks, but I do not get where these places get their prices from. So for this another star.   Seems to have all walks of life around in there.  Parking is limited on the lot, so you will probably have to park in front of someone's house.
  
  So overall a decent place that is decently priced.
