Things to do in Greenport at night: Restaurants, bars, music, more

Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market

INFO: 37 Front St.; 631-477-6992, littlecreekoysters.com

At Bootlegger’s Alley near Mitchell Park, follow the narrow little street around to the back and you’ll find a small restaurant with an even smaller bar, plus a courtyard with picnic tables. Its structure was once the cabin of a ship, since repurposed as a year-round opportunity to hang out, eat oysters (including learning how to shuck your own), grab a beer and even play games. Blake Dowling, a 44-year-old Greenport native and shop owner, says, “What they’ve created, it’s good for the summer crowd and for locals. You can come here, even bring your kids.”

American Beech

INFO: 300 Main St.; 631-477-5939, americanbeech.com

Head to Stirling Square, a passage between buildings decorated with strings of bulb lights, to the back end of a former carriage house that now serves as an inn with an upscale New American restaurant. Popular with the night crowd: a courtyard featuring couches, a fireplace and a bar constructed around a real tree. Hotel guests and casual patrons mix it up here, moving between the patio and a second, indoor bar and the dining area.

Brix & Rye

INFO: 308A Main St.; 631-477-6985, brixandrye.com

Look for a weathered doorway marked by a carriage insignia. Never mind the old windows, dark vestibule with candles and a vintage shuffleboard table — the main fun is in the basement. Head downstairs to a narrow speak-easy that serves a frequently changing menu of craft cocktails and beer. Weekends evenings often extend well past midnight; closed Wednesdays.

Lucharitos Taqueria & Tequila Bar

INFO: 119 Main St.; 631-477-6666, lucharitos.com

It's a busy bar and restaurant with decor dedicated to images of wrestlers and a drink menu including creative margaritas, mojitos and sangria. Watch on Saturday nights for a dance party that runs between 10 p.m.-1 p.m. featuring pop hits from the ‘80s and the ‘90s.

Stirling Sake

INFO: 477 Main St.; 631-477-6782, stirlingsake.com
More than a dozen sakes and other Japanese-based beverages and food, there’s a patio, indoor bar and dining space that shows animé movies on the rear wall. (Pictured: Yokohama gyoza filled with pork and vegetables.)
