I like to drink. I've been going to the Duck Inn and its prior namesakes for many years. This is a bar where I can go and not feel judged. I'm a very fair tipper because I know bartenders have to put up with a lot of crap, including my occasional nonsense. But I'm bothered by the behavior of the owner of this establishment and felt it was time to voice my opinion. A few years back a very nice woman who hailed from Ireland that was delightful to speak with was at the bar and I asked the owner to buy her a drink. His response ~ "You don't need to buy her a drink, she's got cancer". Meanwhile, the woman was spending her time having some drinks as she enjoyed the the social atmosphere of an Irish pub. Shortly thereafter she succumbed to cancer. I never saw her again and thought who would want to deprive a dying person of any form of happiness, and who on this Earth would verbally shred any part of that person's dignity by making such a uncaring statement as such. Secondly, I have also caught the owner attempting to charge me for a bar tab that I clearly paid. What bothers me even more is that all drinkers ultimately form a bond with whoever serves them, and in this case, it was the owner who has a vested interest in his business. The bond is a relationship of trust and anyone who violates that trust has insulted or exploited someone who might not be thinking clearly. This man should not be running an establishment like this because he has taken disrespect to a new level.

Some of the other reviews on this page make me smile. Opinions about this Mamaroneck institution are as strong and mixed as their cocktails, but as various bars open and close all around it, this place stays true to itself. It's a neighborhood dive bar of the sort that are ubiquitous in my native Wisconsin, but rare gems in the NYC metro. Craft cocktails and small batch IPAs will not be found here, but simple mixed drinks and domestic drafts are always on hand. Darts and a few other bar games are cheap or free, and the beautiful original window storefront opens up wide to let the warm air in on summer nights. I have had some great memories here and it always feels like a sip of home.

This was my first visitand I was glad to see the noise level wasn't over the top. However the sound system is, when you play the jukebox get ready for some good sound and it's linked to TouchTunes app thankfully. There are approximately six or seven TV'S. A multitude of beers on tap. The bartender Jimmy is an awesome guy and you can tell he cares about your experience there, he also mixes a good drink. Clientele are quiet, not rowdy, and best of all the prices are right! Highly recommend!

We were there in early April in 2013 on a Saturday night. The young lady bartender with dark hair, seemed more interested in talking than serving me and my group. And if we were able to get our orders in she had too much trouble getting it correct. We had to leave when it became only moderately busy. It was too much for her to keep up with the clienteles orders.

While sitting at the bar here one evening, an extremely offensive anti-homosexual song was played (entitled "That S*** Ain't Right). As I looked to see which small-minded individual had played such music, it turned out to be the owner himself. I asked if he had played it and he affirmed my suspicion. I asked if he could skip the song as I found it inappropriate and distasteful. I was told that I was being ignorant and that the owner could play whatever music he wanted in his bar. Of course he can. He can play any music he wants and deny service to whomever he pleases.
I understand that other people have different beliefs than I do. However, as a patron of this establishment, I was asking the owner that he not make me feel uncomfortable and simply pass on to the next track. I was asking the owner himself to not be forced to listen to anti-homosexual propaganda as I enjoyed a drink in his bar. I was then told that if I don't like it, I can leave. The owner looked right at me, and shook his head in definitive agreement.
I am not contesting the bar owner's rights to do what he did. My point in sharing this is to make others aware of how I was treated at this place. I find the owner to be quite disrespectful, as he is clearly more interested in his right to play offensive music at his own bar than catering to his customers. He purposely created a hostile environment. And finally, he made the clear implication that his bar was not friendly to the homosexual community or those who support them.

Ahhh, the Duck Inn... Talk about the sweetest little bar in town where you can still chill out to tunes on a Juke Box, grab a brew. Paul, the owner, is very nice and doesn't hesitate to make sure you are feeling at home and has a story or two to share. It's a great bar where the "Pour" is respectable and the price tag is very reasonable.

It's like a Mamaroneck "Cheers".

So, if you're in the Mamaroneck area and just want to get away... don't forget to "Duck Inn".
