Cafe Oasis — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Came here in 2015 and have been coming sporadically since. It's now 2019 and not much has changed. Which is a good thing.

On my first visit, patrons told me the Oasis' new chef is a recent graduate of some top of the line culinary school. After tasting his food I believed them. Don't quite believe him though. Like what is he doing here?!?! Never mind, I had a taste of the softest, tastiest calamari ever! His buffalo wings? To die for! He better be getting paid! PLUS he sometimes serves and busboy himself. What a humble, talented, handsome soul!

As for the spot, it's the divey-est of dive bars. The Cheers Bar of this area so to speak. More like community center meet frat house. The men were extremely loud as they played their numbers and favorite tracks on the juke box. We segued from rock, to rap, motown hits (hey En Vogue), and love ballads. I didn't know if to fist pump the roof or cry.

I love dive bars but it took a while for me to reach my level of comfort at this one. I'm happy I did, I always walk away with some laughs, a good time, great food, some knowledge of the area, invitations to "come again" and a few pals. Even with the arguments that may break out at the drop of a coin, I still love this joint! Not bad for the girl who wrinkled her nose right?

The female staff is mad sexy and cool and I won't say in this review where a lot of them come from but take the word of this straight woman, they're HAWT! MamaMia!

On weekends and some special occasions, the "in house" band rocks and the dancefloor is crowded.
