I have been a customer of this bar for only the past year myself but my boyfriend had been a loyal customer who frequented this bar often. Regardless of the dirty tap lines, we all had previously enjoyed ourselves here. However we, and 8 other people, spent our new years here. As midnight came and passed we celebrated by sharing two beers we personally brought with our exclusive group. This act might have been distasteful but the owners reaction was even more so. Instead of having a member of his staff approach us and ask us to get rid of the beer, not to do this ever again, and giving us a chance to apologize, he attacked the post (on an app called untapped). He aggressively attacked these posts, from his professional @black sheep ale house account and stated that we had "untapped ourselves right out of his bar". We apologized to the bar tenders and attempted to reach out to Vince through facebook only to find that he had also blocked my boyfriend on that network of social media, eliminating any chance at attempting to mend this situation. I would expect this kind of passive aggressive and sarcastic attitude from a high school girl not a full grown man with a professional persona to uphold.. I am severely disappointed in the ways that this situation was handled and can honestly say I, and many others who witnessed these events as well as people who had found out after the fact, will no longer be making the trip to this establishment nor will we provide any referrals.

I decided to visit the Black Sheep two weeks ago. A friend had recommended it as one of the go to craft beer bars on Long Island. After leaving, Id be hard pressed to say I disagree. A gorgeous bar with endless good beers on tap and in bottles/cans. It started getting busy around 10-11, and the patrons are fantastic. Talkative people who have world class beer knowledge. The owner isnt too bad himself: spent more than enough time talking to me about every facet of the craft beer scene from his experience. Cant wait to come back!

Hands down one of the best craft beer bars I have ever been to in USA. Was very surprised when every draft beer I tried was not only good but great. Then I found out from one of the regular patrons that the owner carefully selects each craft beer featured at his bar to make sure its the best of the best and not just another beer. That alone should be enough reason to go there and try one of their beers. Seriously, if you are in the area and u love craft beers, this place is a MUST TRY!!

Best place to get a drink in the entire tri-state area hands down. Phenomenal beer selection that changes daily, awesome atmosphere and amazing bartenders who love beer and want to share their knowledge with you! They also have solid craft cocktails that change seasonally but the real star here is the beer. They have a stack of menus to order in food or you can bring in your own!

Awesome spot. Almost seems like an endless selection of quality craft beers and theres free Hotdogs! Its a cool spot to make a regular hangout place, not the kind of spot you have to worry about where 10 guys try to hit on your girlfriend while you go to the bathroom. Only downside, mens room can be scary.

Great atmosphere. Amazing selection of beer, that rotates weekly(?) Music is always great. Wednesday night trivia can be a little crowed but alot of fun. Liam and Ian behind the bar know their beers like the back of their hand. Walk in and asked for a recommendation. They never dissapoint.

If youre into beer, this is the place to be. Its a true to heart bar. No dancing, no club music, nothing fancy, just great beer, great pricing, great service and free hot dogs. The beer selection is one of the best on Long Island and they always have something unique on tap.

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.

Best craft beer spot on Long Island by far with constantly changing taps of a wide variety of brews. Phenomenal bartenders with endless knowledge and helpfulness. Oh, and the games, darts, and free hot dogs are truly the cherry on top.

The Black Sheep is for castaways, locals looking to find a great hideaway and a bar filled with as many taps as your are going to find in the area. Excellent service and indulgences of even the most bizarre ; )

Large selection of craft beers. Cozy and inviting atmosphere. The availability of board games is a nice touch. Great place to grab a drink with friends. Looking forward to coming back for trivia night.

Huge selection of beers! Bartenders are awesome and will give you a sample before ordering. There is no kitchen but as long as you clean up after yourself you can bring in your own food.

By far the best bet menu, and it changes so often that I am always getting something new. The bartenders will always help find the right beers for you as well.

Was not impressed by the service, the college dive bar condition of the place, and the pricing of the beers. The selection of beer was exceptional, though.

A great selection of beers and fits the bill as a hole in the wall bar. With no kitchen it loses a point as Im a lover of bar food with my beer.

Good neighborhood joint with the best beer selection on long island. Taps are switched out daily. Minus 1 star for not serving any food

Nice bar with good selection of alcohols. Unfortunately they do not serve pints, and it can get hectic on weekend night hours.
