In 1881 there were 48 bars in Rockaway Beach [a small section of Rockaway centered around Beach 102nd Street], most of which were operated by Irish owners…After World War II, Old Irish Town had a marvelous rebirth. In the 1950’s, Playland was the center of attraction. The main attractions in Rockaway Beach now were the many bars in the area. These included O’Gara’s Sligo House, The White House, Harbor Rest, Maher’s, Smyth’s, the Park Inn, the Mermaid Inn, Boggiano’s and McWalter’s, the Last Stop Inn, Riordan’s, Gildea’s, and the Irish Circle. In the name of civic improvement, less than a decade later, most of the section was torn down. However, our sister restaurant, The Irish Circle, was saved. After Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Rockaway peninsula a local family purchased the property and restored it. 2 years later, the adjacent property was purchased

and the first Liquid Bread Beer Garden was born.

Our second location is located within the grounds of Randall's Island Golf & Entertainment Center. Beer lovers can take a few swings in the adjacent batting cages, play 36 holes of miniature golf, play sand volleyball, ping pong, cornhole, bocci ball or hit golf balls on the double decker golf range.
