Neighborhoods value their pubs as a place to socialize, just as they value the ends of their rainbows as a place to find extra parking-meter change. Enjoy camaraderie at close proximity with today's Groupon to Liquid Bar & Lounge in Valley Stream. Choose between the following options:

Liquid Bar & Lounge’s menu of small plates puts a tropical twist on classic pub fare. Duos or quartets can sip on a revolving daily soup, such as pumpkin (Tuesdays) or pepperpot (Mondays), or weigh down flighty tummies with wings slathered in buffalo, barbecue, garlic-parmesan, jerk, spicy, or chipotle sauce. A cadre of island-influenced fare includes conch fritters, fried calamari with cherry jalapeño, and shrimp riding a wave of guacamole on a corn-chip surfboard. Once small plates have sated their stomachs’ appetite for savories, diners can break promises to the tooth fairy with desserts such as bread pudding drenched in rum sauce, sweet spanish fritters, or slabs of red-velvet cake.

As they eat, patrons can sidle up to the long wooden bar for a gander at one of the flat-screen TVs, or lounge on a soft suede couch to get in touch with their inner potatoes. Pick and choose from live events such as Sunday jazz performances, karaoke on Wednesdays, and live DJs who spin remixed Sesame Street sing-alongs on weekend nights.
