Buckle up, Patchogue. The “Barn” is back, and you’re in for a ride.
Boardy Barn Sundays — the beer-soaked, smiley-stickered, singalong bash that once defined summer in the Hamptons — is making its way to downtown Patchogue.
The legendary party is popping up at Blue Point Brewing Company for four blowout Sundays this summer: June 1, July 6, Aug. 3 and Aug. 31.
Expect everything you remember: live music, beer specials, dirty water dogs, smiley stickers and the kind of barely-contained chaos that made the original Boardy Barn so infamous. Doors open at 2 p.m. and the party runs until 8 p.m., just like old times.
This will be the second sanctioned Boardy Barn series since the beloved Hampton Bays bar shut its doors in 2022. Last summer, Houston Hall, a giant beer hall in Manhattan’s West Village, hosted Boardy Barn Sundays in July and August.
Boardy Barn was once a rite of passage for twenty-somethings across the tri-state area, drawing thousands every Sunday during its summer season at 270 Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays.
A party palace from May to Labor Day, Boardy Barn was known for its cheap beer prices, dance floor singalongs, smiley stickers and an unmistakable odor of spilled beer. And who could forget this ritual: guys — and sometimes gals — sitting in gutters of beer swill, mock-rowing to the theme of “Hawaii Five-O?”
Boardy Barn is coming. Will Patchogue ever be the same?
