Best Long Island Mom's Night Out Spots for Food and Drinks

1. Bistro 72 – Riverhead

Located right on West Main Street, Bistro 72 is in the heart of Riverhead. The restaurant offers small plates like crab cakes, white jumbo shrimp cocktails, and chicken wings. Entrees include filet mignon, rack of lamb, and local duck. Happy Hour is from 4pm-7pm every day except Saturday. They also serve brunch daily. 

2. Dirty Taco – Multiple Locations

The Dirty Taco is margarita heaven. Specialty margaritas change occasionally, but some customer favorites include the spicy blood orange, strawberry kiwi, and blackberry walnut margaritas. While the dirty taco is known for Asian-inspired street tacos, there are plenty of other delicious menu items to try, such as dirty wings and quesadillas. 

3. The Library Cafe – Farmingdale

Book-loving moms won't want to miss a night out at The Library Cafe, which was formerly the Farmingdale Public Library. The unique and cozy atmosphere makes for a perfect mom's night out. We recommend starting the night off with an order of delicious hot spinach and artichoke dip.

4. The Onion Tree – Seacliff

You'll want to make advanced reservations to visit this delicious Indian restaurant. Start off with the Voodoo wings with honey BBQ sauce, which will not disappoint. The pizza oven is right in the dining room, so it's hard to resist ordering a signature pie as you watch each being made. There are so many to choose from, you may want to order a few and split them with your group. 

5. Takumi – Bay Shore

Mom's night out is a party at Takumi. The hibachi chefs put on a great show, and the food is delicious. If you're not into the sake being shot into your mouth, opt for yummy cocktails.

They set up the canvases and paint in a designated space, and you can order from the menu at the restaurant. The same company offers a plant night in which you can build a terrarium.
