Liedy’s Shore Inn

One of NYC’s oldest gin joints, with an antique oak bar and tin tile ceiling. If there’s no band playing, you’ll probably share the place with just a few locals. Great Rock n Roll juke box and friendly bartender. But the place fills up and rocks when the live music is on — classic rock, local acts. Just plain old fun.

Liedy’s is just an Old Bar
No Fancy Martini’s
No Food
However, it has uncommonly Good Live Music!
Stop by for a Cold Beer or a Shot.

love this place. great old time atmosphere. great jukebox. the best in live music several days a week. you gotta love larry the owner!

hold the phone.
i went to staten island.
only took a year. granted, it was for a good cause. picture it. birthday party for a friend’s dad. complete with live music, food and drinks on the house.
i remarked to my friend, before i got to sauced on $ 1 pbr (which was sometimes $ 1.50 and other times $ 2, but mostly $ 1) that this bar is straight out of wisconsin. interesting regulars, great juke box and cheap drinks. a gin and tonic was $ 2.50.
so now you know. if you want a taste of the midwest, just take the ferry. to liedy’s shore inn.

This is a great authentic old bar, with great live music. Crowd seemed to be older and there was lots of dancing to the live music. Location was cool, and beer was cold. This is a cool place to try out.

Great bar — cold beer and good people.

This super pub could almost be classified as a «dance club» or «music venue», since there is live music on Wed, Fri and Saturday nights with a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on ! Sometimes «Bette Midler» and other luminaries visit.
Several of the talented musicians who play at Liedy’s are quite accomplished, including the legendary Jimmy Mack («when are you comin’ back?»). Also entertaining, Larry Liedy, the owner, has been known to treat the audience with his powerful renditions of Blues Brother’s classics.
The atmosphere is terrific, from the friendly biking and sporting regulars, to the authentic metallic textured walls and tin ceilings, to the interesting collection of Staten Island-​related music memorabilia and artwork. There is even one of the last (if not THE last) authentic telephone booths, which was used by Madonna in making her video for «Papa Don’t Preach», that was before Madge owned a cell phone.
This establishment has been in the same building, owned by the same family for 101 years and is a MUST for anyone interested in the history of the Staten Island or New York City music scene, or who just enjoys dancing to live music. Outdoor seating for smokers and ample parking in the corner lot (by the boulders) on Lafayette.
