The Broken Down Valise - Mattituck

After 24 years at North Fork and past this place hundreds of times we fell for a quick drink tonight. This is the epitome of what an old local pub should be. Do you want me to say dipping? Without disregard, it is, and one of the best iconic diving barriers. This place has no accusations. They enter and feel welcome, entertained by all tchotchke hanging, the real local atmosphere and the warmth of the friendly locals. From the LIRR station there are probably millions of stories from commuters, locals and visitors who have fallen in. Karen, the Barmann, greeted us and made us feel right at home, joked as she saw us and how our first drop was. It's nice to meet the friendly girls. I'm sorry we waited so long. This friendly place and its patrons is why we love the North Fork.

Great small town vibe...everyone is friendly and shows respect. Good drinks!! And plenty of parking

Fun evening, bartender could have been a little more friendly. Been going to the Valise since I was 17 and never didn't get a buy back after 3 or 4...accept this night. Hasn't changed much.

Great Dive Pub Let's start with the funny friendly clientele. What a find! Just got off the ferry and was driving into Long Island and we came upon this spot. A real old school pub with rabid older sports fans that aren't afraid to voice their opinion. They have some very good craft beers on tap. Dark wood, dark bar, plenty of character. Great place to stop and grab a cold one and shoot the s The regulars will welcome you in with open arms. Thanks

I love this place. It's right by the train so you can grab a drink or three while you're waiting. Better yet just stop inwhile you're in the area. The locals and staff are friendly.
