Sapsuckers

Stopped by after dinner on a Saturday night. Smallish space right on Main Street in Huntington, about 5min walk from Nags Head. Nice space, dark wood, upscale feel. Tap list was very solid, including a few more obscure breweries that Nags Head would never stock (Grimm, Carton, etc). Didn’t try the food, but I most certainly would. A bit higher priced than other spots in the area, but you’re paying for quality. Good bartenders.

A small, and I mean small, restaurant in downtown Huntington. On a Saturday evening, it was packed and there was a wait for a table. The beer list (when I was there in early 2012) was largely regional but a recent peek at their draft list includes Dark Horse, Bear Republic, Founders, Goose Island, etc. The food menu is slightly upscale (most entrees $20)- I got the shepherd’s pie, which I was a little disappointed with, but my husband’s lamb meatloaf was tasty. Overall, definitely a great craft beer list for the area. Slightly pricey (I guess not that out of line for the area), food can be hit or miss. Get there early for sure.

Awesome service, great food and a stellar beer selection. For Long Island this place is a rarity and as a recent transplant from New England I’m not biased. The owner has been in house talking to customers each of the three times I’ve stopped in. Look forward to at least 1 Long Island brewery on tap, 3 or 4 from NY state and the remainder all craft breweries.
