You can hear live rock, jazz, and blues music, including many well-known acts, nearly every summer night and most off-season weekend nights at the Stephen Talkhouse. Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, and Jon Bon Jovi have played there either spontaneously or for charities. With two bars, a small stage, and a dance floor, it's usually a laid-back scene, but the place can get packed on weekends. Open mike nights and karaoke allow everyone a share of the spotlight on designated nights. Cover charges start at around $25. Sign up for their email list for promotions and free tickets for some shows. Doors open one hour before showtime, usually around 6 or 7; arrive early for the best spot.

Whatever you do, don't ask the bartender for an iced tea at this bayfront bar, famous for having some of the best cocktails on the island. Here, it's about drag queens, D.J.s, and some of the wildest parties, all under the famous red and white-striped big top. The crowd is predominantly gay but everyone here is welcome, as long as you're happy. Get here by ferry from Sayville.

For true local flavor, head for the Corner Bar. It's not fancy, it's not trendy, and the locals love it that way. Open when everything else has closed for the night, it's ideal for a late-night snack; the burger is known to be one of the best in town. This place also packs a good lunch crowd for un-fussy, unpretentious, and reasonably priced food.

This Fire Island institution, steps away from where the ferry from Bay Shore docks, overflows with not-long-out-of-college singles enjoying drinks and live music. If you want to skip the scene, come for lunch. Their dinner cruise (July and August, Tuesday–Thursday, departing at 7; $39, plus $14 for the ferry) includes a big buffet of seafood, sliced roast, ribs, and all the fixings, and attracts people of all ages.

Famous for poolside drag-queen shows (with some of the most beautiful queens anywhere), this is one of Fire Island's most famous gay bars, but it's something that anyone with an open mind and a wild sense of adventure should experience at least once in a lifetime. Grab a cocktail, lounge by the pool (or buy a day pass to jump in), and enjoy the show.

Legend's is a casual yet classy sports bar and restaurant in tiny, nautical New Suffolk village, a few miles south of Cutchogue.

Listen to live music and catch your favorite sporting events on more than 20 flat-screen TVs.

The locals will tell you that this is "a hidden gem," "a kind of a secret around here." Chances are, they would prefer to keep it a secret. They come here for one reason only—to watch the sun lower in the sky, lighting up the bluffs surrounding beautiful Fort Pond. You'll meet nice people at the outdoor daiquiri bar, and even sometimes see kids running around the bar or playing horseshoes. If you want to have a meal with your sunset, a variety of options includes jerk chicken wings, salads, wraps, seafood, and lobster entrees.

This is the locals' beloved neighborhood dive bar, tucked away behind Main Street in a small 1790s saltbox home that was built entirely out of recycled whaling ships back when resources were tight. Crowds pack in for cheap-ish beer, darts, and ring toss, and pizza if they get hungry.

If you're looking for a chic beachy bar with a hipster young crowd, this is definitely not the place for you. This is your friendly neighborhood watering hole with a game on the TV, a jukebox in the corner, a pool table, and bocce ball out back (with tournaments). The beer isn't fancy and there are no "signature cocktails," but if you hit it at the right time, you might get complimentary hot dogs fresh off the grill or free pizza. Bring cash—that's all they accept here.

With drink specials and fun events throughout the week—like carnivals and parties with lawn games and goldfish races—and an occasionally raucous post-college crowd, this place has been compared with the Jersey Shore. With its beachfront location and ocean views, it's got a laid-back beach-party vibe and frequently has live bands. The food (lunch and dinner) gets high marks.

This is the place to come to if you want to be part of the Hamptons "scene." Although dinner is served here, the party doesn't really get started until 11 pm, with live music or DJs, and goes until the wee hours Thursday through Saturday. Come early—around 10—to have a drink at the bar and a (pricey) bite to eat to avoid lines. Make sure to dress your best. Although it's mainly a summer spot, it may be open Saturday nights fall through early January, and hosts special events throughout the year.

With a loungy-chill vibe, this quaint neighborhood bar is a great place to grab a beer and bite to eat (like the popular avocado fries) with friends. The crowd is friendly if a bit loud, and the Friday night live music always good.

On scenic Lake Montauk this place is part bar/lounge, part restaurant, part hotel, but the real draws are the young, hipster vibe and über-cool indie bands that play here. The cocktails, like Brazilian-style capirinha and ginger-mint lemonade, are pricey but delicious. Get here early, especially when a popular band is playing; the place packs out to capacity, and you could get turned away. If you want to guarantee your spot, you can reserve table service for a minumum of $1,000 for 6 people or $1,800 for a group of 8; if you stand in line, the price is considerably less (ticket prices vary per event).
