Speakeasy-Style Cocktail Bar, Fried Chicken Opens In Bay Shore
Goldy's Gems is the latest incarnation of the Southside Hotel building, with craft cocktails and an outpost of Lessing's Lucky Clucker.
BAY SHORE, NY—A new cocktail bar has opened in Bay Shore, but if it's hard to find, that's somewhat by design. Goldy's Gems took over the former Southside Bar, a historic building at 5 Third Ave., with a speakeasy vibe.
The cocktail bar, owned by Lessing's Hospitality Group, also has an outpost of Lessing's pop-up style friend and hot chicken menu, dubbed Lucky Clucker.
The bar opened in mid-December in a space that's been a bar since the 1930s and still features an original bar from that era. The exterior of the long-standing space, once part of the Southside Hotel, has been updated, and now sports the new name in a retro-style font. Inside, a disco ball and a DJ booth add to the atmosphere.
