Another craft beer week stop. I had been in here before, but never long enough to merit a rating. This time I heard a bunch of beer geeks were going there, so I decided to join them. This might be my favorite place of all of the Patchogue hot spots. And it's close to my favorite beer store too.
I had a sampler plate of BBQ stuff which was delicious! The bartenders (who my only beef with is that they seem to spend too much time with the folks they know, and not enough with us newbies) were helpful in suggesting beer to go with my food. The food and beer were served up fast. The tap list made me wish I had a DD! I had some great stuff (they let me have small samples before I bought) and hung out for a while. Very welcoming, great tap & bottle list, good food, if this place was closer to home, or DWI's didn't exist, I'd be here all of the time.

Have passed this place many a time and as a craft beer nerd on LI it is impossible to have never heard about it. Was feeling in the mood for bbq for lunch today and this.place pops up at the top of the list for bbq in the area i work. Had some time and headed out for lunch. Really nice draft selection (started with a lagunitas sucks ($3 mug!)And ordered some ribs.

The place had opened not long ago and already a few people in. Service was fast. Ribs were tender and tasty. Not the best i had but good enough that i would get then again without hesitation. Proved reasonable for the quality and the fact that they are a craft place. Worth a stop if you dug bbq, i plan to return again and again

The place that made me love beer! This was the first real spot on the island that allowed me to get into rare beers and craft beers. One of the best things about this place is the taps are always clean and rotating. The place in general is very clean and well run. One of the funny things about my experiences here was I never really got into the food because I was too busy trying the beers. I think I talked Brian the bartender's ear off when I first started going here about the beer. They do events occasionally and have meet the brewers nights. That's how I got to meet a lot if brewers in the area. Definitely check this place out it's great.

THIS PLACE ROCKS.

great little barbecue joint on main street in patchogue, i didn't expect much when i first walked in this place but after seeing the draft and bottle list i was pleasantly surprised. They had plenty of local offerings such as blue point sixpoint greenport harbor and great south bay brewing. the staff had a very basic knowledge of the beer they served. they also had a reserve bottle list with some pretty big name beers such as black ops and sam adam's utopia. the prices on beer were very fair and i think the do something like 4 dollar taps on thursday night.
The food was outstanding great southern barbecue i got fried pickle chips which were amazing and a rib platter that had a whole ton of food on it and it was right around 20 dollars. They had a great live blues band playing and a very friendly mixed aged crowd, i highly suggest stopping by if you are ever in the patchogue area.

Excellent place on the island if youre looking for great BBQ, nice atmosphere, and of course craft beer. The food is top notch and there is always entertainment on the weekends. They frequently have beer pairing dinners and then theres the beer list; They must have over 200 bottles here. A great place to try new beers and they even have DFH 120, but a about 20 bucks a bottle you will pay the price. They have about 10 beers on tap and always a tasty Cask or two. Its right down the road from Blue point brewery so they almost always have a few beers on tap and even a cask from them. Must check it out if you love beer and/or BBQ and Blues.

Exceptional! I have been to several BBQ joints and have experience in places like this, this may have been the best overall BBQ/Blues/Craft Beer joint I have been to. Went with a buddy. It was not crowded but people were filling in. I was so impressed with the craft beer selection that I almost called my wife to ask her if she could drive me home later in the night. I would have liked to have sampled many on the list. Opened up with a ST APA and was even more impressed when the young man asked me if I wanted a glass. That does not happen all the time. The service was superb. Ribs were great, dry-rubbed. Chicken wings, sublime. I had the beans and cole slaw for sides and loved both. I am going back next week with my wife who doesn't drink so she can drive. Wow! Awesome place.

I love this place.

I've been going here every now and then for about six months and it seems like it was built specifically for me. They have some very good BBQ. Their pulled pork is what I usually get and its some of the best pulled pork I've ever had.

Their beer list is very expansive and there are frequent changes so you'll be able to get new things every now and then. From the looks of things, they also seem to have a good variety of bourbon though I haven't paid much attention to that.

The atmosphere is great. It feels like a bit of a dive bar from Texas but its exactly what I like. They also have live music, which, if you like blues, is really good.

One of my favorite moments came when I was walking in and someone was bugging the bartender to find out what the lightest beer on tap was and she's yelling back something about Captain Lawrence.

The staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. They've been able to answer every question I've had about whatever beer I was ordering. They are also insanely fast with getting you your beer and food.

Its also a very good place for watching football games. During football season, draughts are $3 and that's pretty nice. They also have the Sunday ticket so you can watch all the games playing at once along with two projectors that show the New York games. Its also not that crowded during the day games so its a nice place to relax, watch the game, and enjoy the company of fellow football fan/beer geeks.

Definitely check this place out if you enjoy good beer, good music, and good BBQ.

I was in Patchogue for two days tagging along with my wife on a business trip. Hotel was 4 miles north of downtown Patchogue, across the street from the Brickhouse Brewery and around the corner from Blue Point.

I usually hit up brewpubs when I'm traveling but opted for Bobbique before the Brickhouse after I received several nominations from local beer geeks at Blue Point down the street.

It was seriously a good choice, this place is phenomenal! Very nice bright signage in front, can't miss it. Open floor plan, take out register in front right, bar on the left with a ridiculous tap and bottle selection. Tall tables all the way down the right side of the building, low picnic tables in front of the stage in the back. I think there was even more seating in the far back past the restrooms.

Let's see, the waitstaff was incredibly friendly with looks to match, the smell of smoke ringed meats dominated the atmosphere. Framed photos and records of blues artists all over the walls. Interesting elements of decor placed to give you the vibe of place in the back woods of Missouri, but way nicer and less bible thumping sodomy.

The food was awesome, perfect bbq arrived on metal trays about half the size of a cookie sheet. We started with bbq chicken wings, which were whole wings slathered in bbq sauce. They were fall off the bone delicious. My wife had pulled pork sandwich which contained enough pulled pork for at least four sandwiches. Awesome pulled pork!

I had a two meat combo, beef brisket and St.Louis ribs with side of fries, cornbread, and the best baked beans I've ever had. They didn't over sauce so the flavor of the meat took center stage. Beef was really fatty almost making it tough to chew. Ribs were awesome.

Blues band playing, I think they have live music every night.

Ok now the beer which was on par with the food. First of all, they had Ballast Point Sculpin on tap! I can't find it in bottle let alone on tap this far from San D! I also had a Goose Island IPA, another brewery I can not get in Connecticut. A few other really good taps (check the website, it seems pretty up to date.) Bottle list was stupid which included Goose Island Beers, Stone vintages, Black Ops. Their vintage selection was pretty pricy.

This place is awesome! I have to check out a noon and catch the 4:30 ferry back to CT, maybe I'll go back for lunch!

Cheers!

its very rare for a place to do two things exceptionally well and to impress geeks of different schools, like say BBQ & Beer.

Like Pizzeria/Bierria Paradiso in WDC, Bobbique does BOTH food and beer exceptionally well.

its also very rare in suffolk county(NY) to have a cool place to DRINK great beer and EAT great food TOGETHER AT ONE PLACE, and when you throw in the wild card of weekly entertaining blues based live music for atmospherics well its a truly rare and cool dining and imbibing pleasure to find round these parts.

very frequently here at Bobbique ive got the this is so yummy face going simultaneously with the cool back of the tongue aftertaste of a great ale kicking in while im rocking out to a live toasty version of an old blues/rock chestnut by some band ive never heard of and would clap my hands from sheer joy for but im sure my hands would probably stick together, cause theyre slathered like ribs with gobbs of leftover bbbq sauce.so i howl like a wolf and risk choking.gladly.happily.appreciation all around.

maybe ten beer taps and the selection rotates seasonally-always well thought out fine selection/cross section of draught beer focusing locally/usa-but a few international stand outs usually pop in-a few casks also i think-a massive bottle selection of maybe 60-80 containing many hard to get & rare beers which they usually have in stock and not just on the menu.as i said the tap selection is very good and frequently i can go 4-5 new beers deep in it. i come here maybe once a month or so-

theres also spirits, think requilas, single malts, whiskys, bourbons.i recently had a patron coffee infused tequila shot and it was delicious.dangerously tasty for a tequila. the sweetfireyness blended right in with the bbq smoke and beer hop and could lead to massive brain cell depletion, and other adverse effects, in large amounts.be responsible, drink like a big boy.

the bbq is smoked in the memphis style id say and is almost all very very well done. bbq ribs,chciken wings, brisket, pulled pork stand out and most sides are really well exceuted. sweet potato french fries-macncheese-salads/slaws-being real pickyaune maybe the corn bread could be steepped up a notch, maybe thats cool though, more room for the amazing chicken wings.and these wings go so great with beers.all beers.every beer.

most nites chef eric rifkin comes around the floor checking out the house and how the patrons are doing when it slows down a bit, slap him on the back and thank him for doing two or three things really well. BBQ,BEER, BAR. he'll even go all geeky with you about beers bbq or music.he enjoys all these things himself.

while some may argue that the beer menu or food is a bit expensive, personally i feel that BOTH the beer and food menu are a great value when weighed against quality, i might conceed moderately priced(maybe) but would not say pricey ever.quality vs price= true $$$ value.

im a local and a regular.probably no better testiment than that needed here.
