Last week, GreaterPatchogue published a story about a Ping Pong bar that could possibly come to Patchogue. Facebook commenters responded positively for Ping Pong —  yet some cried out for a bocce bar in the village. Sal Martinico asked, “How about a bocce ball bar too?” Nat Scaccianoce wrote: “Yes on a bocce bar … “

Well, Patchogue already has a bocce bar — sorta. 89 North Music Venue began hosting indoor bocce nights in October 2016, when Chicago-based American Bocce Co. came to town. “Unfortunately, that league only lasted a few seasons, since running a for-profit league from 850 miles away proved unsustainable,” said Richard Migliaccio.
