"Nothing bad to say!!"
Great bar. Awesome selection of micro-brewed beers on tap!!! Food is also delish. Half price apps during happy hour. Great place to watch the game. A small TV in each booth. Definitely recommend this place!!!!!

"This place is my automatic, go-to pub when I'm on Long Island, especially on weeknights. The beer selection here is fantastic - somewhere around 80-90 bottled beers with an emphasis on Belgians and exotic imports; there's also at least a dozen brews on tap and they change them up a lot. Like, every couple of days. Very decent liquor selection too. Unlike other beer-centric places on Long Island (Effen Gruven and Croxleys, looking at you), they actually have your usual American macrobrews, so I can still take my loser Bud Light-drinking friends here."

"Great staff, friendly place. Felt like regulars the first time!" -Ann M Restaurant.com
"The interior of the pub is very well done -- a true beer palace. Whoever designed this place sure knew how to make it feel homey. Redwood and brick, comfy bar seats, an impressive bottle display, and best of all spacious English-style drinking alcoves. We settled into one of these alcoves and made ourselves at home."

 "Always "Hoppy" at T.J Finley's T.J Finley's is a real pub for real beer drinkers. If you are a genuine beer enthusiast you will love this place. They stand true to their "No Crap On Tap" motto and very often will have beer samplings to introduce new, respectable beers to those who appreciate them. You mainly go for the beer, but the pub menu is by far better than most regular pub food. All their food is made with beer as well. My personal favorite is their Stout Chile. All their food has beer suggestions listed next to them so you can match you brew with your food. There is also a "Cheers" quality to the bar where all the staff get to know the names of their regulars and are all super outgoing and nice."

"A must visit for beer lovers This pub-slash-restaurant (in that order) is by far the best stocked beer bar in the area. With a beer list more than 100 items long (including 20 or so on tap) and a selection of beer-themed and above average tasting pub fare, it clearly lives up to its motto, "no crap on tap".

"Games on Tap, Along With the Beer On a quiet Sunday afternoon on East Main Street here, a raucous cheer erupted from the open door of T. J. Finley’s Public House, followed by hoots and laughter. “I can hear you way down the street,” Janine Goetz, 23, of Islip, shouted over the din as she entered the pub. The Jets game was on two of six screens above the bar, where the crowd was five or six deep. Small groups of young people at several booths watched additional televisions tuned to N.F.L. games across the country. “Sunday is a sports day,” Ms. Goetz said. “I come every Sunday to watch the game and hang out.” At T. J. Finley’s, established in 2006, the beer-marinated steak sandwich is king. “People come here just for that sandwich,” said Jason Janawsky, the owner. The skirt steak is grilled, topped with melted mozzarella cheese and served on a toasted garlic baguette with onion rings and fries. Other offerings include Bavarian fondue, a mix of bock beer and melted Brie, served with pieces of soft pretzel for dipping; and a chicken wrap sandwich dressed with cherry wheat beer aioli and caramelized onions. Each menu item includes a suggested beer pairing."               - Susan M. Novick  NY Times

"T.J. Finley's boasts more than 85 selections, in addition to weekly cask ales, which are unfiltered and contain unpasteurized yeast that conditions the brew - the real stuff. As the menu states: "Try something different." Nibble along with an order of "mini bottle cap burgers."  -Peter Gianotti Newsday
