Side Street Dive shifts to events, moves brunch shows to Smithtown

|

Side Street Dive in Patchogue has ended regular restaurant service, with its live entertainment brunches moving to Bull Smith’s Tavern in Smithtown.

The space at 11 Railroad Ave. will remain available for private events and select pop-up parties through the end of 2026, according to an announcement shared on social media this week.

โ€œThe Side Street Live experience will be moving to Bull Smithโ€™s Tavern, and Side Street Dive itself will remain open for private events and some pop-up parties through the end of the year,โ€ a spokesperson told Greater Long Island.

Bull Smithโ€™s Tavern, at 155 W. Main St. in Smithtown, opened in 2024 in the former Croxleyโ€™s space.

Owner Max Feinberg said the pop-up shows will include its โ€œGrease,โ€ โ€œFrozenโ€ and โ€œGeneric Broadwayโ€ experiences. A start date and performance schedule for Side Street Live at Bull Smithโ€™s Tavern were not immediately available.

Feinberg introduced Side Street Dive in February, taking over the downtown Patchogue space previously occupied by Burgerology and Sneaky Peteโ€™s.

The concept paired pizza and cocktails with a pop-art look inspired by the 1950s and โ€™60s.

โ€œI always feel that fun is undefeated in this industry,โ€ Feinberg told Greater Long Island ahead of the opening.
