Dublin Deck Tiki Bar & Grill is opening for the summer of 2018 — and just in time for temperatures in the 80s.
Dublin Deck’s 20th season on Patchogue River kicks off Wednesday when the doors open at 11 a.m.
That night is also the year’s first installment of the Hump Day Hoe Down Country Nights with SouthBound LI and $5 Corona Lights. (There’s no cover.)
“It’s only fitting we kick off summer with Country night because although it’s very popular now [on Long island], we’ve been doing it for a long time before it was mainstream,” he said.
There’s also a Kentucky Derby party on Saturday, May 5, which will be combined with Cinco De Mayo reveling.
The Deck has come a long way in its two decades on the water.
“It was as little seafood shack,” Miller previously GreaterPatchogue “Scottie [Campbell] and I were bartending nearby and we reached out to buy it. We always had the idea of bringing a little vacation destination, Jimmy Buffet-style, right here to the shores of Patchogue”
“After all these years, Scottie and I, once in a while we get along,” he said.

The two have since expanded into the neighboring, full-service marina, and with that, took on partners Frank Mills and Kenny Becker, who manage Dublin Deck’s 250 boat slips, GreaterPatchogue has previously reported.
In total, the complex at 325 River Avenue now stretches over seven acres on land, with another four in the water.
“We try to offer something for everyone of all ages and walks of life, from volleyball, to paddleboard rentals, to live music, or just an afternoon lunch with family and friends outside under the palm trees with the boats in the background. When you’re at Dublin Deck you feel like you’re on vacation in the islands and not in the middle of Patchogue.”
