Village Idiot Pub - Patchogue

Came with a group here for a friend 's 21st birthday, excited to celebrate and buy plenty of drinks. However, we were then quickly denied service at the bar because we looked too young, as the bartender told us you guys are definitely not 21, refusing to provide service to our group. We would have gladly all pulled out our ID 's to confirm we were all at least 21. However, the bartender did not even ask a single one of us for some ID. What was supposed to be a night of celebration quickly turned into feelings of frustration and disappointment. We expected better from a location with decent reviews. I guess I gotta wait 5 more years until I can get a shot at getting drinks at this place.

Recent review regarding denial of service is disturbing. If Identification was not checked to verify age, why would you be denied service? If you’re of age, behaving in adult manner, dressed appropriately, and the establishment is not at capacity, what grounds would an establishment have for not serving a customer or customers. It sounds like a determination was based on appearance which is a dangerous practice. Definitely worth more discussion and investigation. For an area that thrives on diverse young urban professionals and College students entering the workforce, this is an interesting way of growing a customer base.

The bartender/manager is the rudest person I went in there with some friends one night and ordered drinks that were discounted on the website and also advertised on Instagram, when the check comes he charged us full price. When we pointed out on the website that it said a different price he said that discount doesn’t exist and that he won’t honor it and started calling us cheap and making fun of us. A few days later we came in again willing to give the bar another chance and as soon as we walk in we see the same bartender fighting a younger bartender behind the bar so we immediately walked out. This bartender/manager should not have his job he has no business being in the service industry I wouldn’t be surprised if he couldn’t even run a hotdog stand. If I could give a negative star I would, I’m definitely not coming back and advise other people to avoid this place at all costs.

Wilson is amazing. We will 100% coming back to see him behind the bar! Easiest the best bartender I’ve had in a long time

The server was waiting11 tables all alone not much help , no refill on drinks..Food came out 25 minutes later for 3 apps. Absolutely disappointing . Flat bread was a wet dough with ragu sauce and melted cheese, the pretzel seemed as if it was from Costco and the chicken bites were disgusting..
