Katie Donegans

A nice simple place.

Bar with live music.

Finding decent bars with live music seems to be getting harder these days and finding decent bars with live music that is good is even harder.  

Katie Donegans fills the bill on both.  A no frills place but not quite a dive bar, they serve up decent drinks in a fairly large room with a stage as its centerpiece.  As others have said - there is an upstairs, downstairs and an outdoor area - but it was cold so we didn't try out the outside.  

The band commanded a $5 cover and frankly, I'm not a fan of the cover charge but I have to say, this was $5 well spent.  The band playing was a Zepplin cover band and frankly, they were pretty damn good.

Drinks came in pint sized glasses to get you in the mood.  Decent sized crowd - with all generations represented so you won't feel out of place.

Parking is on the side and at the LIRR station behind it.

Katie, Katie, Katie, you have so much potential, but fail miserably. You have a great stage, two story bar, location is right by the LIRR, a great outside patio, but how come every night its dead unless there's a fundraiser happening? Because your specials suck, you don't utilize the stage, you never ever change your tap, you are out of pumpkin spice on a friday night in october and you always close the downstairs. I still go here for the summer because there are only a few bars left in the area that has a sit down place outside. I want you to succeed Katie, please change for the better
