    I feel like SINGING!

    A really fun and friendly piano bar. Great crowd. Lots of loud singing. Bring friends. Great for bringing your girlfriends.

    Great Lunch

    They changed chefs this year and she is AWESOME! There were 4 of us and all our (warm) sandwiches (with fries) got rave reviews. The service was ok, but the food more than made up for it. Prices are average for Fire Island; but the value is high.

    Great underwear party

    Went one night in matching underwear with my friend. The staff was awesome and waved us in with our Belvedere bracelets. The staff/bartenders were attentive (and I'm picky because I am a bartender). We had a LOT of fun. lol.

    Good, but not NYC pizza.

    Stopped in several times. Great for a lite lunch or a bite before going home. Staff is efficient, friendly, and cute. Definitely hit the spot. Recommended. Review #2. Ate here again in June 2010. Not good. Pizza was dry. Also had a bowl of bland lentil soup. Canned would have been better, I would recommend the pizza after a night out drinking though.

    Lots of nooks and crannies!

    The place is relatively inexpensive, has a bar, and always some cute guys. There's lots of rooms, big and small, but watch your head though, some of the cielings are low.

    Sunday Sunday Sunday!

    Lots of punters start with an early stop by (2-3p) to get a wrist band and avoid the line later. If it's a nice day, grab a pint and enjoy the outdoor area. If not come back in time for S.L.A.G.S and the Dame Edna Experience. The show is great and the live choir (you'll be part of it) inspriing. Stay later when the lights go low and the music gets pumping. Awesome.

    Ol' faithful

    This is a great place for some simple pub grub. I always go for the burgers so I can't really comment on the other dishes. They are big enough to split. It's a perfect place to stop for a reasonably priced meal in an expensive neighborhood.

    BIG food!!

    This is big home-style southern food. Big portions, great selection of sides, and on Tuesdays they have specials on drinks and food at the bar. It's a great place to go when you are HUNGRY.

    Centrally located

    I loved this hotel. It is on a busy bus-heavy street, but is quiet inside. The rooms are large. The breakfast is decent (eggs, picco gallo, fruit, juice, coffee). There's a pool. Some bird watching in the early am. Patios allow smoking.

    These other reviews must be written by friends.

    This place sucked. Yes, it is upscale, but the fun stopped there. The service was slow, the bartenders pretentious, and the regulars unfriendly. The bartender actually yelled at us for trying to order drinks at the bar because there is (supposedly) wait service! Well, our waiter ws spending his time chatting with friends at the table next to ours and didn't even ackowledge us when he saw us sit down. He finally served us and then took someone elses order between serving us and giving us change! I will say it's probably fun if you go with friends, drink martinis, know the bartenders, and don't mind waiting a long time for drinks. With all the other bars with efficient staff and friendly clients why waste your time and money?

    narrow but cute

    I liked Stir. Really nice decor. When you first walk in there's a room with a bar that is way too big. It's hard to get by There's another room further on that is more open. Cute seating on one side with toilets with frosted glass doors on the other. Further on still is another (more appropriately sized) bar and a little dance floor. Crowd was festively dressed. It's on a small side street off 17th, a little hard to find at first, and off the beaten gay path, but worth a visit. Check it out.

    This place has a cool happy hour, excellent DJs, and great shows. PLUS, they change the decor every month or two completely changing the feel of the place and making it feel like a brand new venue. The bartenders are also nice to look at. Good place to meet new friends too.
