This summer the Hamptons nightlife continued to move east, away from Southampton and with more action in Montauk. We had a tough time narrowing down the list to 7, so here are 10 of our favorite spots in the Hamptons.
The Surf Lodge
Montauk
Trendy hotel, restaurant, and bar with a whimsical surfer vibe is the hot spot of the year, attracting live music ranging from Capital Cities to impromptu performances by Hamptons resident Jimmy Buffet. Randy Scott runs the door and carefully curates who comes inside.
