I went to this place with my boyfriend and a bunch of our friends.  The music is too loud to talk plus it isn't that kind of environment. .

They had 3$ beers and shots until midnight.  There are absolutely NO hats allowed or jackets with hoods so you have to use coat check and you have to pay which is a bit of a rip off.  There is also a 5$ cover charge.  

There were a ton of people there and the place was huge.  It was more like a club then a pub.  

Good place to go if your looking to meet people and dance up on people but not great when you have your partner there.

Overall I liked the place but I probably won't go back for a while.

Am I a traitor to Long Island because I hate this place so much?

Terrible music.
Loud, terrible music.
So loud that you can't even yell to the person next to you.  
Crappy beer.
Seemingly underage crowd.
Some nights, they even enforce a dress code and a cover charge, yet they call themselves a "pub".

Could be a two-star place if your favorite cover band is playing, but that's a stretch.

I totally forgot about this place - mostly because I do not bother going there much anymore.  

Mulcahy's has been a huge party spot for a long time.  I remember it from back in the day when it was half the present size.  

To me, the place just has too many people and I am not into crowds.  Definitely a place to go watch the games or to listen to great tunes at night.  They do get very good bands there.

Overall a fine enough place to grab a few beers but if you don't like mobs, go earlier in the night.

Parking around the area.

It was decently crowded, but Mulcahy's is so big that you never have to feel anyone's sweaty body touch yours unless you want to.  It has a huge dance floor and three bars around the perimeter -- translation: drinks ready from any angle while dancing the night away.

I also thought the Bart Simpson laser projection was a nice touch.

It's a hike from where I am on the island, but I thought it was worth it.  I definitely had a good time.

I've seen some good shows at Mulcahy's, but I don't really like to come just for a night out with friends, mostly b/c it's always so crowded and the drinks can be pretty pricey. I also don't like have you HAVE to use coat check. But it usually turns into a fun time, so it's worth trying

I've only been here like twice (unwillingly, of course) and not in at least 8 years, but that being said, I only have one word to describe this place: GAY.

Want to sit with friends and talk?  Want to watch sports?  Want to listen to live music?  Want to dance your ass off?  Want to drink good drinks and flirt with good-lookin happy bartenders?  Then go to Mulcahy's for happy hour and for weekend good times.

The front bar is for mingling mostly and watching sports.  The back bars are for flirting and dancing.  The dance floor is roomy and security is always nearby in case a bad bad dancer gets a bit too hands-on with everyone else.  

The live music is mostly local bands who play their own stuff and some covers too--Pete Moss and The Fertilizers have made their home there for over ten years.  A lot of tribute bands also play there--from Bon Jovi to Van Halen, they rock the casbah.  

Drawbacks--the bathrooms get a bit heinous towards the wee hours; the cover which starts at 7 and then goes up at 9

Ohh Mulchay's.........

Its one of those places that you love to hate and hate to love.  

We always wind up here at one point or another, but it is ALWAYS a good time...

Huge space.  3 very large bars.  Tons of bartenders.  Televisions throughout the place.  DJ & Live music most nights of the week.  Very large dance area.  Security and bouncers.  They also have a 4th bar, located outside - the outside has a very large space too - seating, standing, dancing, smoking etc.  They also have speakers outside so you can hear the music from inside and they have televisions at the bar out there as well.

Every Friday they have happy hour from 3-8.  They do 2 for 1 beers, and have a ton of food.  They also have a live band and inbetween sets a dj. Admission is free until 7pm.  After that its a ridiculous $10 cover to get in.  

Saturday nights they have "dance party".  A DJ spinning everything from rap, R&B, hip hop to pop, rock and house.

Monday nights during the summer they host "Out of the Weeds" party.  $10 cover charge, unless you have a free admission pass.  They give these out usually a month before the summer season starts, typically you can just ask the bartenders or bouncers for them and they will give you a bunch.  These cards get you in free every Monday night for the entire summer.

The drinks are over priced and watered down most of the time and they NEVER do buybacks, however Mulchs is always a fun time to dance and hang out with friends - you will always run into someone you know at this place.  

It is also located right at the Wantagh train station so you can take the train (Babylon line) directly here.  If you drive, there are tons of spots to park in (train station parking lots).  Just be careful, cops are ALWAYS in the area.

24 hours McDonalds across the street and a 24 hour diner opposite Mulchay's on Sunrise Highway (walking distance).

Everyone knows of Mulcahys, it's a great bar to watch live music drink some beer and dance.  I've seen rusted root here, and it was a good time.
