Country Corner — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

Go for the wing, stay for everything else. I got to hang out with my son tonight and have dinner with him. What a great time.

I picked him up from a place in Stony Brook and tried to figure out somewhere to go for dinner when I remembered a country corner. It is a local unassuming bar in setauket.

When I was a kid I watched a show called Cheers. I really have a feeling that this place would be cheers. Just a very cozy warm location in the heart of setauket and the bartender was friendly with a smile.

When we walked in it wasn't very crowded and we got a table right away. The boy obviously ordered wings. He said they were very good and the sauce had a little bit of heat. Him and I eat fire so these would be good for the average human but when you've got lava tongue next to me you understand that they're not hot enough. They were meaty and delicious.

I talked to the bartender. This guy Joe recommended an A1 Burger. He said it was really good. I trusted him he had that kind of face( picture to follow later). When the burger arrived I ordered it rare and honestly was excited that it actually came out rare. The burger was full of flavor thick cut and delicious.

For those of you that are beer drinkers, the beer wall was huge. They were changing names as I was going to take pictures so I think these are the newest ones.

I had a stout tonight that was phenomenal. I like my beer thick and this one I felt like I could cut with a knife. I never got its name but I will definitely be looking for it again. I have to ask Joe the next time I'm there.

I'm definitely adding this to my list of places to go. What an awesome time...

When I review places like bar, I try to disclaim what style of establishment it is. A good 5 star dive bar and a high end posh 5* rooftop bar are clearly different categories. Country Corner is difficult to put your finger on. At first appearance, the corner is a dive bar at face value. Showing wear and years of business as well as alow budget feel, especially the bathroom. However, the corner has fresh micro brews on tap, not just a few, alot. There is an elevated bar menu, which isn't gastropub, but also isn't a menu reminiscent of a bar with 1 fryer and a toaster in the back. Priced in the range of places a little higher end for food and drinks, it makes you feel this could be a lot fancier than what it is. Is it a dive bar with great stuff, or a swanky place in dire need of a makeover? I've rated it 4* as a dive bar with great stuff. A nice place to have a few drinks at with tables and a bar (no wait staff). Staff is friendly. Beer lines are discernably clean. There are 2 dart boards and a small stage for bands and events. Atmosphere was fair for my visit (approx...

I had a great stout (caramel fudge), super yummy. The burger was ok but it came with a very good mac n cheese. Service was very good. Customers were very nice. Laid back atmosphere, has a throw back charm to it. I like the view out the main windows. The menu was very varied, pub food like. The craft beer selection was good. I will go back. You can park In the lot behind it. Lots of parking with a short walk. Prices were fine. There is a happy hour. They have nights with events such as...
