Okay, so there's designated bike parking out front, bras decorating the place and "check it out" message board posts on biker Web sites all over the world. But ask owner Greg if Jugs and Strokers is a biker bar and he'll set you straight. "This is just a fun, friendly, diverse atmosphere. There's something for everyone. We have bands that play alternative and K-Rock type stuff. It's a terrific crowd. I don't even need security here -- it's that cool."

Similar to that of a Hogs and Heifers or Coyote Ugly, this Sunrise Highway hangout is unique among the Island's preppie, frat-ridden bar/club scene. Load up the jukebox with your favorite classic or modern rock favorites and challenge your friend to a mean game of pool. If it's live music you dig, be sure to check out Fallout or Hardcopy on Friday and Saturday nights. Scarf down good old barbeque on Sunday too. Bring extra cash -- the drinks ain't super cheap. -- Allyson Azzarelli

    The crowd at Jugs & Strokers says it all. Great people, great vibe and as relaxed as it can get. Greg, the owner, is always around to make sure the party is running at full tilt. He'll go out of his way to make everyone feel welcomed, comfortable and in a secure safe enviroment. Beautiful women? Bring your neck brace. Your head will be spinning. Guaranteed. The music rocks and check out the Jug Gear. Very cool T-Shirts and other stuff. Clean, well kept and just the best place on The Island. Nothing else comes close. Thanks Greg, and you're right. J&S does rock your world! Love those Sunday Bar-B-Q's!

    I have gone to Jugs for about two years. I can even count some of the bartenders as friends. It's a friendly place, where you can meet just about anyone and find something in common with them. I haven't been able to go there as often as I would like to, hopefully, I will get there more often this year.

  • ABSOLUTEDEMO's Review

    Review rating : 3out of 5   absolutedemo - 03/01/2003

    Not at all like Hogs and Coyote Ugly... Not at all like walking into a Hell's Angels bar as stated below by someone. It's just a regular local bar that happens to draw in a crowd of people that ride. In my opinion, Hogs is way too crowded and filled with tourists and onlookers. This is just your "average Joe" bar. Would I go back? Sure, if I were in the neighborhood. I have been a few times and I can say my experiences have been fine. Not wild and not boring... it depends on your company. it's no different from any other local bar where the people all seem to know each other. The jukebox could stand improvement but the staff is very nice.
