After traveling down the row of historic Victorian homes on Patchogue's North Ocean Avenue, the sight of the turn-of-the-century brick building on the corner of Lake Street is as inviting as meeting an old and familiar friend.

Step through the green door of Reese's 1900, and the atmosphere embraces you. A brass-railed oak bar, glistening mirrors, the warmth of dark, paneled walls and an intricately patterned pressed tin ceiling sweeps you back to the days when the last century was young and trolleys rumbled down the avenue outside. Places such as this were for meeting friends new and old, enjoying good food and drink, or to simply bask in the conversation and ambiance of the evening.

Today's, Reese's 1900 has lost none of that charm of days gone by, and continues to provide fine American pub fare in the style recalled fondly by many from the old Irish neighborhood public houses of New York City, yet found so rarely today.

Established in 1971 by well know Patchogue publican David Reese and operated for years by Ken and Ginny Russell the baton has been passed to two longtime Reese's employees Matthew Lowe and Patrick Palmeri. Together they have continued the tradition of providing delicious meals, a comfortable bar, and an aura of well being and a sense of belonging found in few public houses. Whether it's an afternoon corned beef sandwich accompanied by a handsomely drawn pint of Guinness or a marinated NY Sirloin and a class of cabernet on a cozy midweek evening - Reese's 1900 has been a favorite gathering place for people across Suffolk County for more than 35 years.

Centrally located in the village of Patchogue, Reese's is within walking distance to many shops and attractions, such as the Patchogue Theater for the performing arts and both the Watch Hill and Davis Park, Fire Island ferry terminals. So stop in, tip a pint and relax while soaking up some of the ambiance of days gone by.

Patrick and Matthew, the friendly staff of Reese's 1900 Pub welcome you!

As the sign behind the bar says…
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again, may God
Hold you in the palm of his hand."
