New Bay Shore Whiskey Bar And Grill To Replace Corks and Taps

BAY SHORE, NY — A new restaurant is coming to Bay Shore.

Costa Verde Hospitality told Patch that a new business, American Standard Whiskey Bar & Grill, will replace Corks and Taps, located at 53 W Main St in Bay Shore.

Its menu will focus on American whiskeys and bourbons, as well as serve an extensive cocktail menu. The restaurant will have 24 draft lines to serve "typical favorites" plus local craft options.

Burgers, wings, apps, sandwiches and entrées will also be featured with a "southern flair" spin.

Patrons can expect a happy hour Monday through Friday, and eventually Sunday brunch.

Anthony Tartaglia, president and founder of Costa Verde Hospitality, told Patch that he wants it to "feel like a nice restaurant mixed with a bit of a honky tonk / live music bar."

The sale of the restaurant was finalized on Friday, Tartaglia said. American Standard Whiskey Bar & Grill is expected to open sometime this spring or early summer.

In a social media post, Corks and Taps thanked its customers for almost a decade of business.

"Thank you so much for everyone who has visited us the past 8 years," the post said. "We really appreciate all the support you have given us, but our time in Bay Shore has come to an end. We will miss you!"
