Nutty Irishman — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

I am utterly disgusted by the situation myself and my friend were put in last night by the staff of The Nutty Irishman. Upon entering the front of the bar was empty except for one other person. The back was semi closed off to an event going on. The woman’s room in the front was closed so I was told to use the bathroom in the back, through the party (which just happened to be a police precinct party). After getting one drink each we decided it was time to go and had to use the bathroom again. As we are walking to the back bathroom, because once again the front one was blocked off, we were stopped by security and told we could not use the bathroom due to a private party…the bathroom I just used. He then proceeded to escort us out of the bar and into a closed bakery next door. All the lights were off and the chairs were up on the tables. I was directed to the bathroom in the back corner of the restaurant. As I exited the bathroom I demanded to speak to a manger because that situation is completely absurd. I was then told they weren’t sure she was there when I knew she was because this decision was made in about 25 minutes from when I used the bathroom prior. When I was greeted by the manager, Catherine, she approached me smiling and laughing as if my concern was crazy. I explained to her that in no circumstance should a male security guard be escorting two woman out of the open bar and into a closed down bakery to use the bathroom. I was laughed at and told that I could have turned the lights on and that nothing would have happened to us. What a privilege to have no understanding of the horrible things that can and have happened to woman in similar situations to this one. When asking for the number of someone above her I was told this was public knowledge and once again laughed at. I looked at the security guard and told him he should have never allowed himself to be put in that position and I honestly feel he did not want to do it and felt pressure from the manager Catherine. All she needed to do was be a little understanding of the horrible situation that had just went on but she was nasty and unprofessional.

With this being said after my anger passed I was incredibly sad because I am a strong willed 31 year old who was not drunk and all I can think is if this situation happened to a more vulnerable girl and with a security guard that had bad intentions things could have went so differently, in the worst way.

Do better as not only a business but as...

First time there. Nice atmosphere, fun live bands inside and outside. Outside was a nice setup and extra cool being outside. Went to see a friend’s band for the first time and brought some people with us. We were having such a great time, friendly staff and bar service people. We were very hungry and ordered some food - Pastrami egg rolls, chicken nachos and a large hot pretzel. The pretzel was hot, soft and fresh-the best part of the food. The pastrami egg rolls were hot and fresh and their appeal started out good. Then the nachos with chicken, well, we were trying to figure out what was in it. We were so starved we scoffed up half of each item between 4 people and we got so sick. What’s up with that? We wanted to have a couple more drinks but couldn’t because of it. We stayed a couple more hours to hear our friend play in the Lucky Stiffs and left when they were done for the night. We were then planning on going inside and grabbing a table to hear the inside band but couldn’t. It was a not so pleasant night sleep because of the food. I’m better this morning but my wife is still not great. A lot of heartburn which I also had. It’s such a shame with such a nice location on Main Street in Farmingdale. We might go back again (maybe) to see the bands and have some drinks but will eat elsewhere before we arrive after the night is over. Didn’t try a dinner or anything else on the menu and would be afraid to. For such a prime location, the food should be top notch right down to the smallest thing. No animosity here it’s just that it would have been nice to have a complete night out at one place. Horrible food quality still wouldn’t have ended the night but to actually get sick with heartburn and uneasiness so fast right there just put it over the top. They’ve got to get the food...

If your looking for a great place to have a party this is the place!! I had my nephew's 40th birthday party this past weekend and people are still talking about it. We had the entire back room and were over 90 people. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was a very causal party (bar atmosphere). From the start of planning the party with Katharine, she made the whole process so easy to plan. Very helpful and her suggestions worked really well. When I arrived at the party, Katharine had made sure every decoration and table was set up beautifully. The perfect party planner and very attentive. I couldn't have done it any better myself. The catering menu had plenty of food options to choose from. Everyone raved about the food, especially the penne vodka, chicken francaise and what there known for, Nutty Irishman barbque steak. The 2 bartenders Anthony and Kristina were great. Very attentive and personable. They handled the party with such ease. As far as the servers, we had Joanne, Eileen and Katharine. There work was incredible. Always had a smile, very personable, very attentive and making sure everyone had food including making sure the couple of lil ones we had got there chicken tenders delivered to them personally. I've had many parties before ie catering halls and restaurants but this one was by far the easiest one yet. The staff at the nutty irishman are truly...
