Recently, my husbandās cousin, Roger and his business partner opened Brewology, a gastropub located in Speonk, NY (Hamptons). Although interested in the restaurant industry for years, it was only less than a year ago that Roger took the idea seriously. The day came when a vacant spot emerged near Rogerās route to work. It was the perfect spot for a new restaurant ā his restaurant. Together with his business partner, through direction of industry specialists, Brewology first opened its doors this past June.
3 Things To Know
Beer ā Brewology got its name from the actual term ābrewology,ā which refers to the study of beer and beer-making. Over at Brewology, they focus on small-batch, craft beer. Their beer menu is ever-changing along with the seasons. For example, pumpkin beer is currently available.
Food – Executive chef Lia Fallon (identified as one of Newdayās 2014 all-star chefs), leads the team with an expertly prepared menu that utilizes fresh, local ingredients. Like the craft beer, Brewologyās food changes along with the season. The one constant is that the food menu pairs well with the flavors in the craft beers available.
Decor ā The interior design falls under theĀ āFrench Industrialā theme. Brewologyās furniture and most of the decor were hand built by local craftsmen using recycled steel and reclaimed wood. The end result is an inviting space with a chic and modern ambiance.
I had the pleasure of visiting Brewology a few weeks ago, resulting in a happy stomach and plenty of photos. The photos, Iāll share in this post.
FOOD & DRINKS
1) Oysters on the half shell. This platter was screaming my name. The oysters were cold, fresh, and clear (exactly how they should be). The homemade mignonette sauce was also delicious. Bonus: Our own Tabasco sauce bottles!
2) Charcuterie.Ā Serrano ham, Tuscan salami, Duck pastrami and mousse. (Duck pastrami ā how clever and unique! Tasty too.)3) Sweet and SassyĀ Shrimp.Ā This was gone in 30 seconds. So good!
4) Deep Fried Ribeye, Smoked Pork Belly, and Chicken and Waffles. Comfort meal never tasted this good. The smoked pork belly made a big impression on me. You can definitely taste the smoky flavor infused into the pork. Deep fried ribeye? You had me at deep fried.
5) Craft Beer Sampler. I wonāt even pretend I know anything about beer. Iām a wine and cocktails kind of gal (I had a refreshing watermelon cocktail). But how cute are these beer samplers? Ties in with the theme of beer as a science. Beer lovers, this is for you!
THE FRENCH INDUSTRIAL DECOR
1) The Entrance. Yes, very French industrial.
Ā 2) Details, details, details. I love them! They are important to me. Imagine as a female diner, how lovely it is to receive something to hold your handbag? Oh, Iām sure it works for man-bags too.
3) Dining Room 1. When you enter restaurant, this room will be to your right. Love the chalkboards and the bright, glossy chairs.
4) Main Dining Room. Notice the famous scientists on the wall. They were painted by a talented friend of the owners.
Needless to say, I fully enjoyed my recent dining experience at Brewology. Please know that credibility means the world to me. I may not know much about beer but when it comes to food, I canāt say my taste buds have ever failed me. Living in Manhattan all the years before moving to the āburbs in my mid 20ās, Iāve had my share of dining at some of New Yorkās best eateries. They ranged from hole-in-the-walls to restaurants where a meal can set you back the cost of a dining table (sorry, furniture enthusiast here)! Itās safe to say thatĀ Iām not drooling over Brewology because I know the owners. Iām drooling over this place because Iām a piggie I love food and itās a big deal to me.
This was such a tasty visit at Brewology. I have no complaints other than wishing I lived closer. Well, there is always hope for one opening in my neck of the woods. Until that happens, I cannot wait for my next visit! If youāre in the area and are looking for a great dining experience, check out their website here.
Have you been to a gastropub before? Like this post or have a comment? Hope you have some GOOD EATS over the weekend! Xo, Tee
Looks yum and I love the idea of a beer sampler!
Love it!! I gotta go there!!
If only I lived closer. This restaurant looks great and the food look even better.
I was actually in the Hamptons last month. Too bad I didn’t know about this place! Looks like a great place with a good atmosphere.
The place sounds really amazing! And I love the decoration. But the food wins it all, I really want to eat all that! Right now, lol
I love microbreweries! The tiny tobasco sauce bottles are a nice touch and I love the beer sampler but the chairs need to be changed. They don’t look comfortable at all.
I didn’t sit on the metal chairs. They have wood benches along the wall too. I personally prefer cushioned seats. Maybe the idea is to not have seating too comfy that patrons stay there all day. ;). Thanks for commenting.
These seem to be popping up everywhere! The food looks delish!
What I fab place just so nice.
I don’t really get into beer, nor does my husband, but I know that my brothers would love this place.

I recently went to a gastro pub in Quebec and it was so good. I love that these places pair the food to the beer and that they use local, seasonal ingredients. Love this review. Really well done.
Thanks so much for your feedback, Margarita!

The atmosphere looks really nice there. I love the lil’ bottles too., Whenever I go to a hotel and see the mini Tabasco bottles, I always have to get a couple extra. Over the past couple of years, I have started liking a nice beer with a steak meal. Tasty combination.
The food looks awesome. The decor fabulous. If I am ever up that way I have to stop by.
That place looks awesome. I love the shape of that light fixture.
What a nice place. Would love to stop there sometime.

The food looks SPECTACULAR. This is the kind of place I would want to go if I was visiting New York.
Right off the bat I can tell my husband would LOVE this place! I just googled it and it’s like a 2.5 hour drive from us =( We might have to take a road trip!
This is a great eatery for any foodie and or craft beer lover. What an amazing job you did revealing one of Long Islands new treasures. Bravo!
Thanks, Jay! Wish it was closer to our house. š

I love the industrial look – I’m so glad it’s becoming more popular.
I like to try the different beer samplers here. Their food looks really tasty too.
I don’t drink alcohol, but I wish your family the best in this new endeavor!
Looks like a fun place to go on a date!
Wow, what a restaurant! I’m dying for a night out and I even see wine. Like above, if I only lived closer. At least I am in NY.
Yeah, at least you’re in NY. Hopefully, you can make the trek one day. š
That is totally my kind of restaurant. Man, I wish I lived closer – I would be there in a heartbeat.
I hear you, Robin š
