Bartini Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in Town of Babylon

I went to this place around 6pm on Thursday, July 27, 2023. The bar is VERY tiny and the seats were all taken, but a couple was leaving when I came in so I got a seat immediately. The PROBLEM was that the barmaid passed me by at LEAST 5 times over the next 7-10 SOLID minutes. One of those times she even CURTLY said "hello", but she just kept going. So she KNEW I had just come in and was obviously waiting for her to serve me. And it wasn't like she had others to serve. She served one person and then went to the other end and hung out gabbing with some people there. I sat there a couple of more minutes and then a guy at my end called the barmaid ("barmaid!), waited a minute and called her again ("barmaid"), but she ignored him too, still gabbing at the other end!!! I had enough of this nonsense and walked right out. And do you know, she never even noticed me leaving. In all my life I never had such a disrespectful experience like that from a bartender. This moron needs to be FIRED because she's completely...

I had my first experience at Bartini's and the drinks were made very well. The Karaoke night host was very fun and interacted with all of us very well and entertaining. 5 stars service.

Seeing Degeneration X live was a once in a life time experience, I have never seen something like it. The way the two gentlemen danced had me entranced in their performance and I couldnt help but want to drink more alcohol to forget what I had just seen.

The all time high of the night is when a gentleman was telling 3 military members how he served in the front lines of walmart security and the head of the Department of Defense sent an army major give him a letter of acknowledgement for his service. He really made sure to police everyone throughout the entire night even though he does not work there. It was really brave of him to not let a gentleman dance with his own mother. His reciept checking skills came in extremely handy when he demanded everyone to tip more. I never felt more safe in my...

It is what it is!

If you're sick of the new, hip, fancy, overpriced bars full of over-groomed/dressed judgy people who make you feel like you don't belong...this is the bar for you. Don't let the fancy sign out front fool you, this is a dive bar. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. I believe another reviewer referred to this bar as the CBGB's of Long Island. I can corroborate that. This is an unpretentious laid-back local bar; something that is disappearing in Babylon Village. Thank God that places like this still exist!!! Open mic nights, live music and cool people who aren't peacocking for the girls or playing mind games with the guys. I've spent some of the greatest nights of my life...
