Fodor's Expert Review The Ritz Cafe

Islanders, wash-a-shores, gay, straight, whatever—all are welcome at this unpretentious dive bar/rock club featuring live music year-round. There's been a bar at this spot on Circuit Avenue since 1944; these days, it draws a mixed crowd for live music, karaoke, pool-playing, and dancing—lots of dancing. There's live music nightly in season, and on weekends off season.
