The Penny Pub

This Bay Shore institution has been pouring drinks since 1908, evolving from The Veterans Bar to today's neighborhood pub with serious late-night staying power. The kitchen runs until 3am serving pub classics with creative twists like fried mac and cheese with chipoodtle ranch, while the bar pours what locals call the best Guinness in town. Monday trivia packs the place, and the recently added backyard patio gives regulars another reason to settle in. It's the kind of spot where first-timers are treated like family and the bartenders know your order by visit three.
