We absolutely love this place and have been going for a few years now. I was introduced to this place from my brother and his fiancée. Her cousin is a regular here, and I can see why as everybody inside is always nice and friendly. The bartenders are very friendly and treat you very well. The food is delicious too! We have never had a problem or issue here. Even the outside area in the back is spacious. We just had my brother’s engagement party here over the weekend and all the guests were very impressed with how the staff at Farrells handled everything. They were accommodating to all of our needs and even let us stay past our reserved time. Farrells has fun event nights during the week like Bingo nights every Wednesday and usually a live band for the weekends. Check them out and give them a chance, it may become a new regular place for you.

While Windsor Terrace might be lacking in its culinary and late night bar experience, Farrell’s is thee hidden gay bar you’ve been looking for. Into Firefighters? they got em. Retired cops that won’t cuff or kink shame you (unless you’re into that) got that too. If you’re in keeping American conservative with a side Adam and Steve THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!

Farrells, West islip
03/13/24
Found myself meeting someone at Farrells, in West Islip, this evening..
They called and canceled while I was waiting for them to show up, so I ate alone 🤷♂️
I ordered the burger my usual medium rare, with cheddar, the bun toasted, and fries extra crispy..
Holy Moly, was I surprised about how good this burger is.
My surprise came from me never hearing from anyone that Farrells had a good burger!!! I think Gerry Ryan let me down on this one.🤣😎
And, I asked for an Old Fashioned, and was told " "they dont make them"😎Irish bar, so I'll cut them some slack🍀☘ Fair enough, I had a Harp, which I thoroughly enjoyed, cold, crisp, and fresh
The burger came to me a near perfect medium rare. Kudos to the Chef!
The taste of the meat hit all my tastebud cylinders.
Salty, earthy, unctuous tastes, were all there.
I'm not sure what Brand Angus they use, but it's a definite winner, in my mind.
You could tell they "hand press" this hamburger, in house; just from seeing, and tasting the loose structure of the meat as it sat in the bun.
Not Top 5, but definitely a "Top 10" on my Burger scale👍 Excellent burger.
Good price, as well, $15.25, with fries
I think they need a new pretzel bun, but that's just one man's opinion. It wasnt bad, but...
The hand cut fries were also really good...Very crispy on the outside, pillowy soft, and a prominent potatoy taste, on the inside.
The service was excellent, with the busy bartenders being very efficient with their movements.
Most of the tables were filled, and more than half the bar stools were filled, when I was there at 6pm, and service did not falter.
Parking was relatively easy this evening at 6pm ish, as there is a parking lot behind it, and there is street parking..I have passed there when the lot was filled to capacity, and most of the close street parking was taken, and have had to park a distance away.
As I was paying the bill, and complimenting the burger to the bartender, she shared that Burgers are 1/2 off on Mondays and Thursdays😎
They also have a lot of Happy Hour Food specials, that are on their website, like 1/2 price wings one day, $4 Taco Tuesdays, and other things I didnt pay attention to, but noted, for future reference 😎

First time here I came for the 1/2 price wings, they were ok nothing special small order included 10 came with Bleu cheese and a tiny bit of celery for $8.75 ok at that price would never order them again at $17.50 regularly. I ordered a Reuben for dinner $19.99 included fries , coleslaw and pickle chips. The bartender asked if fries were ok I asked if I could have a baked potato instead he said ok, never indicating an up charge of $2.50 and nowhere on the menu did it indicate an up charge. The odd thing is a potato by itself is $4.99 and an order of fries is $8.99 but I did not ask for a refund. Such a small thing leaves a bad taste in people’s mind not so much because of the money but not informing your customers . The Reuben was ok nothing special. What I liked most was the atmosphere and the feel of the bar it was like going back 20 years in time. The service was subpar at best one bartender was slightly friendly after being asked by a girl that worked there if he would finally help me, the other bartender was put out by my every request. I was not offered one refill without asking.
