Long Island’s popular Great South Bay Brewery has officially opened its doors in Ronkonkoma, marking the brewery’s third location and signaling a fresh new chapter for the massive Station Yards complex.
Situated within The Core at Station Yards— just across from the Ronkonkoma LIRR station — the brewing company’s outpost is the very first bar and restaurant to open at the sprawling, 53-acre mixed-use project.
Founded in 2009 and owned by the Davis family, Great South Bay already operates a large brewery, tasting room, and events venue in Bay Shore on Drexel Drive, just west of Fifth Avenue.
The company opened its first restaurant location earlier this year in downtown Lindenhurst.
The Ronkonkoma location spans 8,400 square feet with a maximum capacity of 355 guests. It features a 90-foot bar with 24 taps — 20 showcasing GSB’s signature brews and four highlighting local favorites. Scroll down for a complete photo tour.
