Connolly's Bar

Connolly’s - Review - Rockaway Beach - New York - The Infatuation

"Connolly’s is an Irish dive just half a block from the beach. Depending on your mood, you can either sit in their charmingly dank basement with a TV playing endless episodes of Baywatch, or on the sunny patio. What doesn’t vary is your order. Virtually everyone who comes here gets the iconic Rockaway beverage that is Connolly’s frozen piña colada, and so should you. Garnished with a radioactive-red maraschino cherry and served in a paper cup, this thing is creamy and dangerous. A standard piña colada will run you $10, but for what it’s worth, Connolly’s offers not just $2 floaters of spiced rum, but also "sinkers" (rum poured on the bottom of your drink) and "swimmers" (a layer of rum in the middle). Choose your own adventure. photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick" - Molly Fitzpatrick
