Coming Soon: Station Yards Steps Back in Time with new ‘Artemis’ Speakeasy

Ronkonkoma, NY – 04/26/2024 – A speakeasy is joining the long list of incoming retailers at
Station Yards in Ronkonkoma. Ed Fabian of Billie’s 1890, Brendan Mooney of the Fire Island
Ferries and Shoreline Trading Company, and Anthony Vero of Aurora Contractors have teamed
up to create the new speakeasy-style bar, Artemis.
Artemis will open a 2,081-square-foot space set to provide craft cocktails to the vibrant
community growing next to the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station. Artemis is designed
to be reminiscent of the secretive speakeasies of the 1920s and 30s, a homage to an era where
cocktails were an art form and conversations the main entertainment. The leasing brokers for
Station Yards were Maria Valanzano, Steve D’Orazio, and Jake Horowitz of Colliers. Artemis
was represented by Allen Boulos, Richard Cardona, Scott Schneider and Mathew Sullivan of
Evernest Realty.
“We aim to delight with our artisan drinks and complement the experience with delectable light
bites and unparalleled ambiance, perfect for a memorable date night or an evening out with
friends or colleagues,” said Ed Fabian, co-owner.
Maria Valanzano of Colliers said “We are thrilled to announce the addition of Artemis Speak
Easy to Station Yards in Ronkonkoma. This unique venue brings a vibrant, creative energy that
perfectly complements the innovative spirit of our community. Artemis Speak Easy is not just a
place to grab a cocktail; it’s a destination where history, culture, and hospitality meet. We
believe it will become a cornerstone of Station Yards, attracting both locals and visitors to
experience the best of what Ronkonkoma has to offer.”
“We are extremely excited to bring this unique business to the heart of Ronkonkoma’s bustling
new landscape. Within Station Yards Artemis will be a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, a
speakeasy, where whispers of the past mingle with the vibrancy of the present, offering a
timeless escape from the ordinary,” added Allen Boulos broker and Founder at Evernest
Commercial Real Estate.
The speakeasy is set to be a seated room only, encouraging conversation and offering a
mixology experience of the highest quality. The menu will feature both alcoholic and non-
alcoholic creations, along with member liquor lockers, special access, private events, cocktail
classes, tastings, and special events.

The name Artemis comes from a prohibition rumrunner that was a common sight along the
north and south shores of Long Island as it was ferrying spirits from Rum Row. The vessel met
its demise in a high-speed chase with a Coast Guard Cutter Black Duck off of Orient Point, a

story that ties into Brendan Mooney’s involvement with the Fire Island Ferries and Ed Fabian’s
connection to Port Jefferson.

“Speakeasies often incorporate classic and innovative craft cocktails, and their secretive and
exclusive nature creates a buzz in the surrounding community. Bringing Artemis to Ronkonkoma
is particularly significant for TRITEC because it taps into historical aspects of Long Island,
specifically in destinations where TRITEC has helped to revitalize,” said Jimmy Coughlan.
Executive Vice President at TRITEC.

Anticipation is building as Artemis prepares to open its doors in September, promising patrons
an unforgettable journey into the past.
