The Black Sheep Ale House

"Amazing bar with the best beer selection in Mineola and surrounding towns by a long shot. I'm a hop head and my partner is not, and we can both consistently find draft beers here that we enjoy. It's a wonderful dive (my favorite type of place), with incredibly warm and knowledgeable manager Bob and the bartending staff. My brother, a huge beer head, visited a few years ago on a slow Saturday afternoon and the Smiths were playing and we were surrounded by Radiohead and Nirvana posters. A perfect experience in my book! Their food selection has changed over the years and I haven't checked out Ike's yet but can't wait for it."

"Very chill, no food yet but I hear they're working on their license. Pretty good service. No complaints. Fair price as well."

"La oveja negra has been a staple in my life for the past 10 years. It doesn't get much better than this if you're a fan of high quality brews, they also have board games, a wide selection of wines, spirits and every craft beer under the sun in a rotating basis plus they're open until 4am every single day. If you're in the area this place is an absolute must."

"Wow1 Went there for a local fundraising event. The amount of beers available was unbelievable! Tried many! I'm going back. Drank more beer than I ever did and wasn't even bloated or drunk. Nice buzz---good stuff! Delirium and Purple haze. LOL Oh and continuous tunes-nice variety!A diamond in the rough. This place is an awesome spot for a laid back drink. They have an excellent selection of beer and a great staff that is very friendly and informative when it comes to picking out what beer you want to drink. I only came here for drinks on a sunday night so I could not tell you much about the food or the crowd. It seemed to me like most people that I was sharing the bar with were locals from the area but they were friendly and easy to have a conversation with. Beware of parking in the area. If you can park behind the bar along the guard rail. During the weekend you may park anywhere in the parking lot but if you come here during the week do not park by the houses in the lot as those spots are reserved for the law office that shares the lot. The bathrooms are really cool in this bar, they are painted with chalkboard material and you can write all over the walls if you wish. i would recommend this place if you are looking for a bar that doesn't have that typical long island vibe."

"The tap list in this classic pub style bar is one of the best around. Friendly atmosphere with board games available for a mellow time. No kitchen but free hot dogs if your stomach is crying out for something solid. Parking is pretty tight but not the end of the world."
