Bourbon & Brews — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

So, long story, but….

In the quaint village of Merrick, two courageous bartenders, Kira and Jenna, discovered a dark secret threatening their home. A mutant lion, terrorizing young villagers, emerged from the shadows. Determined to protect their community, Kira and Jenna traded their cocktail shakers for weapons and embarked on a perilous quest.

Armed with makeshift swords and unwavering resolve, the dynamic duo ventured into the dense forest where the mutant lion lurked. The air was thick with tension as they navigated through the twisted paths, determined to face the fearsome creature head-on.

As they approached the heart of the forest, the mutant lion leaped from the shadows, its eyes ablaze with an otherworldly glow. Kira and Jenna stood firm, ready to confront the beast. The battle that ensued was a symphony of clashes and roars, echoing through the ancient trees.

Jenna, with her agile moves, danced around the lion, diverting its attention away from the vulnerable villagers. Meanwhile, Kira utilized her sharp instincts and quick reflexes to strike precise blows against the mutant creature. The bartenders’ teamwork was a testament to their bond and the strength of their friendship.

Despite the ferocity of the mutant lion, Kira and Jenna fought valiantly, refusing to let fear overtake them. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the forest, the tide of the battle began to turn. With a final, coordinated strike, Kira and Jenna incapacitated the mutant lion, freeing Merrick from its menacing grip.

The grateful villagers emerged from their homes, cheering for the brave bartenders who had saved their lives. Kira and Jenna, exhausted but triumphant, returned to the village as heroes. From that day forward, their tale of courage and camaraderie became a legend in Merrick, inspiring future generations to face adversity with bravery and unity.

Also, the bourbon burger was phenomenal, and the whiskey selection too notch - only made better by the amazing service! Can’t wait...

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I went there last night. The bar tenders have zero personality (Friday night). Well, if you don’t go to a bar for good service and go just for the food, well don’t go here for that either. I ordered chicken tacos and I almost died. The second they placed the plate down it smelled like something rotten. It was an absolutely awful smell. I tasted the white sauce that was drizzled on top thinking it may be the sauce I’m not familiar with but it wasn’t. I picked up the pieces of chicken and smelled them and holy s$$t I thought I was smelling dog s$$t. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t even have the plate near me anymore. When i told the waitress she had nothing to say. No apologies, nothing. And it so happens the table behind me heard me and said “your chicken too?” They had ordered a salad with grilled chicken and their chicken smelled the same. They gave it back. I just cannot believe a restaurant who is there to feed people can serve rotten chicken. It truly boggles my mind how they are still open. Their cocktails are awful tasting too, they just look pretty. I will never go back and warn others to stay away. I would never want any local restaurants to suffer but when you open your doors and serve awful smelling and rotten food to people, you should not be...

Came here for trivia night. There was a burger on the menu for $20 that said it had a waffle as a bun, sounded delicious so I ordered it. I thought it was a joke when they brought it out and it was a legit frozen toaster waffle. How embarrassing. The burger itself tasted more like a meatloaf and was way overcooked considering I ordered it medium rare. The drinks were good and the bartenders were really accommodating and friendly. The owner checked on us within 2 seconds after our servers did every time. It was overbearing and a little weird. I would not come back here for food. I passed the kitchen on the way to the bathroom and it looked absolutely disgusting.

UPDATE- What an arrogant and condescending response from the owner. I never complained about the SERVERS/BARTENDERS checking on me. They were a delight. I said it was overbearing how quickly and frequent the owner came over after his servers. Also didn't even address my other concerns. This is not the first time I've been to this establishment. I came last summer and it was boiling hot and the beers were warm. I gave it another chance but not worth $20 for an off brand eggo waffle on a half pound flavorless meatloaf and...
