The Black Sheep Ale House

Great beer selection, awesome bartenders, and cool trivia Wednesdays.

The Black Sheep is for castaways, locals looking to find a great hideaway and a bar filled with as many taps as your are going to find in the area. Excellent service and indulgences of even the most bizarre ; )

Large selection of craft beers. Cozy and inviting atmosphere. The availability of board games is a nice touch. Great place to grab a drink with friends. Looking forward to coming back for trivia night.

I have been a customer of this bar for only the past year myself but my boyfriend had been a loyal customer who frequented this bar often. Regardless of the dirty tap lines, we all had previously enjoyed ourselves here. However we, and 8 other people, spent our new years here. As midnight came and passed we celebrated by sharing two beers we personally brought with our exclusive group. This act might have been distasteful but the owners reaction was even more so. Instead of having a member of his staff approach us and ask us to get rid of the beer, not to do this ever again, and giving us a chance to apologize, he attacked the post (on an app called untapped). He aggressively attacked these posts, from his professional @black sheep ale house account and stated that we had "untapped ourselves right out of his bar". We apologized to the bar tenders and attempted to reach out to Vince through facebook only to find that he had also blocked my boyfriend on that network of social media, eliminating any chance at attempting to mend this situation. I would expect this kind of passive aggressive and sarcastic attitude from a high school girl not a full grown man with a professional persona to uphold.. I am severely disappointed in the ways that this situation was handled and can honestly say I, and many others who witnessed these events as well as people who had found out after the fact, will no longer be making the trip to this establishment nor will we provide any referrals.

I decided to visit the Black Sheep two weeks ago. A friend had recommended it as one of the go to craft beer bars on Long Island. After leaving, I'd be hard pressed to say I disagree. A gorgeous bar with endless good beers on tap and in bottles/cans. It started getting busy around 10-11, and the patrons are fantastic. Talkative people who have world class beer knowledge. The owner isn't too bad himself: spent more than enough time talking to me about every facet of the craft beer scene from his experience. Can't wait to come back!
