10 Places To Grab Drinks with Friends

It's cold outside, and if you're looking for a warm spot to seetle in with some friends or family during the holidays, we know a few places you can go:

Tap And Barrel: With a rotating menu of fifty two beers on tap, plus bottled brews and free food on Tuesday nights (like waffles made with beer), This Hauppauge bar's offerings always have something new to try.

: A great place to stop any time of the day, Applebee's after-10 p.m. menu features half-priced appetizers and twofers on a selection of beers and mixed drinks.

Dave & Buster's: Relive those college days of late-night drinking and marathon Halo/Super Mario Bros./Pong sessions with a modern twist.

Changing Times: A quintessential sports bar, complete with TVs, wings, TVs, different beers, and even more TVs.

: Typical barfood not cutting it? How about a fresh sashimi platter to go with a tall Sapporo? Nisen transforms from a chic restaurant to transplanted-from-Manhattan club on weekends.

The Lark: If microbrews are your thing, The Lark is a destination to check out, featuring plenty of small-batch specialty beers.

Nappertandy's: Tandy's has DJs, drink specials and a party atmosphere, making it great for a fist pump or two.

: Jackson's doesn't have the biggest bar, but the combination of drink specials and well-above-average food make it an ideal destination.

Chili's: Come for the margaritas and expansive mixed drink menu, stay for the boneless buffalo wings.

Dublin Jacks: Dive bars have their own niche appeal, and for the dive bar crowd on Long Island, Dublin Jacks is the place to go.
