From the Gold Coast’s Gatsby-esque mansions to Montauk’s laid-back beach bars, Long Island has a private venue for every kind of celebration. Some private bars here have secret back rooms, accessible only with a whispered password or a nod to the bartender. Others offer cocktail flights inspired by local history—try a drink infused with honey from Long Island’s own beekeepers or a gin distilled just a few miles away. And if you're feeling adventurous, ask your bartender for a "Long Island Special"—you won’t find it on any menu, but locals know it well. Check out our top bar picks right here on Tagvenue.
