Lights, Camera, Cocktails! Step back in time and relive the golden days of Friday night movie rentals — but with a delicious twist. The Block-Bar-Ster Pop-Up Bar has officially landed on Long Island, transforming Nostalgia Bar & Lounge in Bethpage into a retro wonderland where VHS vibes meet craft cocktails.
A Throwback Experience Like No Other
From the moment you step behind the bold blue-and-yellow entrance, you’re immersed in a set straight out of your childhood. Instead of renting a movie, you’ll be sipping on inventive, themed drinks while surrounded by aisles of cinematic-inspired fun.

Snack like it’s movie night with buttery popcorn and small plates inspired by theater favorites.
Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the cocktails, or just a good time, this limited-time pop-up is designed to hit all the right notes.
