I've been here several times. The small venue ambiance is great. The ONLY drawback is the standing room on the main floor it can get somewhat tedious, especially with an opening act playing. Count on almost 3 hours of standing in one spot (if you choose to), but that's the price you pay to be up close and personal to the act on stage. The balcony has some seating and one of the bars and appears to be open seating at least when I went. There is adequate seating in the downstairs lounge with piped in music feed if you must rest. 3 bars are strategically placed throughout, and prices are VERY reasonable with a great assortment and quick and capable bartenders to boot. It's a great place, and they have maintained the feel of an early 20th-century ballroom.

Teddy Roosevelt Park and Marina is a great place to visit. The entire park is always clean and well maintained by the town of oyster bay employees. The views of the bay and harbor are fantastic. There are numerous paved paths to get your walking or jogging in. There are a number of courts open to the public, including basketball, tennis, and volleyball. There are playgrounds on the premise also. The marina is well maintained, but slips are only available by lottery I believe, to town residents. In the off-season, residency is not checked so anyone can come and enjoy the park. The downtown area of oyster bay is a "stone's throw" away, so you have everything from breweries to high end restaurants available after your visit to the park.
