9 of us including two children ate on the rooftop here last night. I had the chicken special which was pretty good. However, seems this place is not yet "qualified" to properly prepare seafood. My girlfriend had the tilapia which was fishy tasting and VERY overspiced, to the point that it was difficult to eat. My sister had the scallops and actually left a couple over because they were so under-cooked and she couldn't stomache them. Wait staff was okay, mostly attentive, although they forgot to bring out a couple drinks we ordered and had to be reminded. Live music was nice to have in the background and sounded great.

Ahh Summer.
Welcome to the Rooftop at Kasey's. Â You have to enter from the rear (ZING!) of the club. Â The atmosphere is really chic. Â There is live music and something cool about being on the roof a building and having dinner or a drink. Â The crowd is....how do I say this without offending anyone.....um....elderly? no.....Over the hill? Â that's not it......I GOT IT! Â Mature.
So the crowd is VERY mature if you go after work. Â The bands cater to the audience's musical needs so how about another Springstein song, lead singer guy? Â 2..3..4...(insert band frontman here). Â This is Lite FM at its finest....since it is live. Â
The bar is always packed and the drinks pack a punch. Â You can always walk down to the bar in the Main room if you want the selection from the tap. Â Beers are $6.50....mixed drinks are $10 or $11. Â The Menu is online.
Food is good but over priced for the dishes. Â Again, check the menu online. Â Fresh pasta? Ok....Boxed pasta and store bought sauce? Not paying $17 for that.
When the sun goes down, make your way into the main dance floor to hear the latest tunes from the DJ and get your drunken fist bump on....or your reggae grind.
One word: Racists.
I've been here before, and this place always struck me as a go-to place for the partiers that flock to RVC. Kasey's isn't top on my list, but it's always been on my radar. On this last visit to Kasey's, I went for the sole reason of dining at their rooftop restaurant, which has its own separate name, Rooftop 32. That experience was just fine, but it was the experience in Kasey's that was horrific.
At Rooftop 32, I enjoyed the sliders (yummy caramelized onions) but not so much the fries. The fries are basically potato chips in the form of french fries. Not good. I happily sipped on white wine, but once the rain started coming down, we decided to go back inside.
Once inside Kasey's, we saw that the crowd had grown quite a bit. Lots of younger folks, many of whom were playing top 40s/pop songs on the jukebox. Using my jukebox app on my phone (yes, that's a thing), I played a few songs that I wanted to hear. Namely: hip hop.
When my first song came on (a new Kanye West song), it played for about 30 seconds, and stopped. I looked around, confused. The next Kanye West song came on, and played to completion. I figured it was just some sort of glitch. A few other songs played. Then my next song came on (an instrumental/electronic song) which again played to completion. But then my next hip hop song came on ("Pop That") and this time, it played for about 15 seconds. I looked over, saw the male bartender slightly shake his head, and magically, my song turned off. That's when I knew the songs were being skipped to this guy's liking.
I promptly asked who turned the songs off. The female bartenders (in their booty shorts) very reluctantly answered me, pointing to the guy. I said that I deserved a refund, because that song costed me $2, and this guy decided it wasn't to his liking. I got up, approached him, and asked if he turned the song off. He smugly said he did. I demanded my money back, and he slapped the $2 down on the bar.
The girls gave me the excuse that since people were eating dinner, they didn't want to play those songs.
EXCUSE ME? Then don't have a jukebox. If you have a jukebox, then you have to be ready for someone to play any random song they so desire. And guess what? Everyone has to hear it. If I am spending the $2, I expect to hear my song all the way through. My song choices should NOT be subjected to some smug douche-nozzle who clearly doesn't like any music that doesn't fit his taste (namely, Kanye West and any other hip hop song).
It's a sad, sad day when this kind of not-so-hidden racism is thrown in your face. I guess it's to be expected in a place like Rockville Centre, but it just disgusts me that this type of white ignorance and close-mindedness is still so alive and well, especially in a place where people come to eat, drink, and have a good time.
Kasey's -- what a disappointment.
I have never eaten here but Kasey's is a staple in local nightlife. If you are in your mid 20's and are looking to get sloppy with the bro's this is the place to be. With reasonably priced drink/shots and a plethora of inebriated college girls ready to make bad decisions makes this place a "win" for Saturday night. dress code (for night time) is no hats, hoodies, or jerseys.
PS: i have never been here for dinner but i hear the burgers a good.
I actually really like Kasey's. My friends usually choose McFadden's but I prefer here. The atmosphere is better and to be honest the music is pretty good. Unlike other DJ's that interrupt every song or cannot play one song at least halfway... this place knows what the crowd likes. I mostly prefer house music and a mix of pop.
There is a coat check which is great. You have to pay I think $2-3 but it's worth it especially in the winter time when you're waiting for your train in the freezing cold. They also have a decent bar area with tv's and comfy booths to sit in. I am always on the dancefloor so I haven't really sat down but it looks nice! The drinks are pretty reasonable and of course bottom shelf. We don't really need top shelf stuff. It's a very loud place and I will often go home with that ringing in my ears. But sometimes I'll call that a fun night. The dancefloor is pretty big and there's plenty of room to do your thing. But I think from now on this is one of the places we'll go!
I've been coming to this place for 15 years. Â The first 10 years was mostly to go out at night, and food was an afterthought. Â Most recently though I have been there on quite a few occasions over the last five years or so to dine. Â My experiences vary, but the food is always a bit above average for catering, and just average/a little below average for your everyday ordering. Â Food was good every time I went to a party, and have another party there in a few weeks so will update as needed. Â My most recent time here though was on the new rooftop dining area. Â Here is goes...
First off, they need an escalator or something, or an elevator...and not for us, its for the people bringing the food! Â By the time they get the drinks or food from the kitchen, out to the alleyway, and up the 90 steps to your table, the ice is melted and the food is already cooled off a bit! Â All joking aside its not that bad, but I think anyone showing up for the first time may have a similar impression as I did. Â
Ok food, appetizers overall were good. Â Spinach dip was actually terrible though, boo on that one. Â Asian calamari was good and other apps were very good...just that spinach dip...ugh... Â
Entree's were just poorly prepared in every sense. Â Six diners ordered four burgers, a crab cake with lobster risotto entree, and penne ala vodka. Â Every burger was overcooked, not even pink. Â one asked for medium, all three others rare and medium rare...they were all charred. Â The penne ala vodka was just horrible, i'm talking canned penne sauce would have been better, and the crab cake was what I got with the lobster risotto and just not that good to be honest. Â The risotto was like paste, and the crab cakes although not bad, were just not great. Â They had a very strange consistency, like a veggie crunch to them as if they put cole slaw in them. Â I was not crazy about them at all. Â No good sauce for the cakes either...boo. Â
The atmosphere is good though, which is why it gets three stars because if it were just on food i'd give it a 2.5 at best for my last particular sitting. Â I will update this in a few weeks after my next visit here.
Highway robbery on the roof!
Lets start with the good stuff
Beautiful rooftop setting and a nice staff
Now the pilferigazation story
Pretty safe bet this is the same kitchen as the bar food downstairs so why are
quesadillas $14? salads $17? chips w dip $13 andskirt steak $27?
and no french fries they give you these burntly fried crisps that taste like tooth piks!
asparagus/ sweet potato hash looks and tastes like something from Trader Joes.
oh and lastly $6.50 for a can of beer?
big bucks for mediocre fare
I tried Kasey's for the first time last summer and found a chopped fly in my salad. I recently had the courage to go back and found the service, food, and drinks expensive and significantly underrated. The food was not fresh, plates were dirty, and given the city-esq prices this place boasts, I would expect A LOT more. A customer no more.
Review Source:It's your standard pub on a Saturday.  What I like about the place, is the fact that it's very large and you do not have to search for a location to chill.  Also, being that you it's a big place, the bar is also big and you  can usually find a way to wiggle in to order drinks.  The bartenders are really nice and so are the bouncers.  The drinks are also decently priced too.
Review Source:WIsh there was a 'no- star' option.
Came here for a friends birthday - from Manhattan. After trucking out to LI, arriving to the back entrance (which already seemed like a joke)-- I was turned away at the door by two rude doormen. Not to be pretentious, but  I was WAY over-dressed for this place. I was in Marc Jacobs from head to toe. I'm used to a city crowd, and city clubs- since thats where I'm from . I was told I wasn't allowed in because I was wearing BOOTS.
Really???
I'm sorry but that's complete bull. They were dressy boots, as we are approaching WINTER. Come to find, there were guys who got in- who were outside smoking cigarettes in dirty white sneakers, t-shirts, and jeans. I'm totally offended, and I know this is because of something more. I would never want to be caught dead there in the first place, and this was an obvious discriminatory move on the bar's part. There was no professionalism in the staff- and the bouncers wouldn't even give me an explanation. I'm a publicist in nyc, and i can have a story written up about this in a second.
I should have stayed in the city, as there are way better quality parties -- and no covers! I'd never travel out again out to party with white trash.
Sat on the rooftop for lunch.. food was pretty good and the cocktail selection was great! Nice atmosphere and good music... staff was a little young and rowdy, I would suggest some older staff members to rein them in when they get out of hand but over all I had a very nice experience! At night however the crowd is a tad young and rowdy.. I mean 21 year old pukers in the bathroom...not cool!
Review Source:I went here for drinks with a few friends and it was decent. Â The place is set up with the bar in one room with some booths, and another room cleared out for dancing. Â We had to pay a $5 cover which was lame. Â The drinks were strong which made me quickly forget about that, though.
I think I would enjoy this place during the week more than on a Saturday night. Â If you are the type that sports a blowout that is suitable for nesting a small bird, then this might be the place for you. Â
Seriously, this was guido central and after a couple of hours I couldn't take it anymore. Â The menu looked good though and the bar was nice, I will probably come back another time during a big game to take advantage of their numerous TV's.
It's now called Kasey's Kitchen and Cocktails (recently renovated), and I just came from there this evening pretty satisfied! I was looking for a place that my meat eater mother and health nut father (and vegetarian me) would all like, and there's everything from soups, sandwiches, burgers, salad, seafood, steak and an impressive drink menu... 8 pages worth, I believe. Pricing is decent, and there's even a special menu for finger foods available until 3am when they close. It's a casual spot, jeans and nice top, off of Park Ave in Rockville Centre which is a pretty happening/trafficky area. There's a large bar area, patio seating, booths, tables, and a private area for parties and such. Our food came out pretty quickly and the portions were pretty generous. It wasn't too loud for a weeknight evening and there's six flat screen tvs above the bar playing sports and such. I really liked it, considering I pulled the name out of a hat. Kids and adults alike were in and about, so overall - there's something for EVERYONE. I would recommend this place!!
Review Source:So this past Tuesday I went to Kasey's with my family. We all started off with the Cream of Chicken soup and the fried ravioli. Both were very good. For my entree I chose the Parmesan Crusted Chicken, which was served over linguine. The presentation was very nice, and the food while it wasn't the best I've had was still very good. My mother and brother both had the pot roast, which they ended up not liking very much. I guess it can't all be good. I heard from a friend that they have awesome burgers there, so I might be tempted to go back just for that (I'm a sucker for a good burger!). The waiter was super nice and comped one of my Guiness' as well. They had a pretty good deal going (buy one entree and get one free) so when all was said and done, we ended up paying just under 60 bucks for 4 entrees, 4 cups of soup, an appetizer, and 2 beers. While I wasn't completely wowed by Kasey's, I would say that If you're in the area on a Tuesday you should give them a shot. A good deal on some good food can't be beat.
Review Source:The good: I can't comment on the food so that's why its getting 2 stars and the renovations are a nice improvement for decor, the back bar is easier to get a drink at, few couches are available.
The lame: $5 cover.. plus a coatcheck charge..ok.places in the city with better quality crowd, music and space DO NOT EVEN CHARGE. It makes me giggle when I see people decked out to go to this place. So get off your high horse and rippping off people because you are not THAT TYPE OF ESTABLISHMENT. Drinks.. are watered down.. just get your beer. Music is your typical Z-100 type of crap.
I bump into this while chilling in Rockville Centre a long time ago. Had dinner and it was a chill spot! Nice feel, but the other night I when to another spot next door and walk by an this spot was like a night club! Packed with women drinking up a storm. Go expirence it yourself...Rockville Centre Is becoming the Mini-Manhattan! Â Just in my opinion...lol
Review Source:This place has multiple personalities.
If you go on any day before 8ish, It's really really good bar food, and nice servers. Â I mean REALLY good barfood. Â
There are a lot of tv's, so it's a great place to go and watch a game.
If you go after 8 on a weekend, you are going to be hanging out with Eya'Tony and Snookie. Â If you have a blowout, come here and party with paulie D and talk about how much black corvettes rule.
The drinks are pricey too.
blegh.
Best Tuesday Twofers(buy 1 get 1 free) . Applies to full menu (includ apps and desserts)not just selected few entrees like others.The Marinated Skirt Steak was excellent, cooked perfectly, very lean esp. for skirt steak, good assmn't of fresh mixed vegs. and a perfect baked potato w/ butter and sour crm on the side, as requested. Â However, others ordered the Shrimp Monachino and it was so salty it was inedible, This also being unhealthy is a pet peeve of mine and I think any good cook or chef should be aware of the natural saltiness of prosciutto and adjust the dish accordingly. Â Maybe taste it before u offer it. Unfortunately my friends did not send it back so they were stuck with it and filled up on the great bread/flatbread baske tand some of the generous steak portion others shared.
Review Source:I don't like when you pay for a drink and it's not a flat dollar. Â $5.50 for a beer means a $1.50 tip. Â Uh, no thanks.
Also be prepared for blow outs and fake and bake tans left and right. Â This LI crowd tends to attract some older guids and guidettes. Â This translates into a night of people trying to recapture their youth and generally trying a little too hard.
