Everything is good here! I love the photos the nude ones like an art are amazing the environment the live bands the atmosphere the pool table everything reminds you that you are on vacation! Love it!

Bill O'Leary

Perennial go-to late night spot . Hugely crowded in the summer so pretty unpleasant unless you are a horny 20 something. In that case the lines , overpriced drinks and crowding are totally worth it.

Andrew C

This place was so much fun... bars are both inside and outside + live music stage in the middle, plus a patio to hang out and get fresh air !!!

Hotel Indigo

It’s the best place in the Hamptons for a good time listening to cool music while enjoying the local scene, dancing or just chilling with a cold drink.

Nikki Bogopolskaya

Hopping the fence to avoid the $30 cover here is super fun, until you get caught and shamed in front of every single person you went to summer camp with.

Diplomatico Rum

Come down on Reggae Sundays and enjoy special Diplomático Rum cocktails at the bar starting at 10p.m. during summer months .

The Corcoran Group

Amagansett Staple of the East End Night life – be up close and personal with name recognized entertainers. You never know who will show up from famous or locals jamming .

Doug Wampler

Relax outside at the tiki bar during the day or catch a great band at night.

Steve Coleman

The Talkhouse crowd would be unbearable if not for GREAT BARTENDERS and often great music . Just ignore the cityots stalking around on the weekends.

Travel + Leisure

The Hamptons nightlife scene is a mixed bag, but this one of the few places that are worth the effort. It hosts acts like Jimmy Buffett .

Patrick Barch

$30 cover is really stupid, but it's the Hamptons , and the Hamptons are generally stupid. The music and dancing is good. Bland crowd.

Richard Stevenson

The pictures on wall tells the story about the great live music there!

Pir Granoff

Serious cover.. But the live band makes up for it
