Rare Olive Lounge
(631) 423-3444, Huntington
http://www.rareolivelounge.com
Meatpacking District meets Suffolk County at this sleek, two-leveled hipster haven. Serves as a perfect alternative to the casual-dressed, monotonous bar scene on the Island of Long.

Port Jazz

Variety of live musical acts ranging from Beatles tribute bands to soul/funk jam sessions. If you’ve ever strolled past the Starbucks downport on a weekend evening and heard a party above, well, now you know.

Instant Replay Sports Bar
(631) 673-6161, Huntington Village
Despite its recent popularity, there are still a limited number of bars that offer monthly Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events. Luckily, this Huntington Village watering hole knows exactly what we want—caged brutality. And plenty of beer as we watch it unfold. Also offers 2-for-1 drafts during all Mets and Yankees games.
