Boutique hospitality combining fine dining and lodging in the Hamptons

Where tavern comfort meets historic speakeasy charm

Step into our colonial tavern where one of New York State’s last remaining beehive ovens anchors a cozy space welcoming guests since 1770. This beloved downstairs haven offers our widely-acclaimed burgers and homemade meatloaf in addition to our main dining room menu, with a more relaxed ambience. Open year round, The Tavern is where fine dining meets old-world comfort, especially during colder months when the historic setting feels particularly cozy.

Authentic Colonial Character

Dine in an authentic colonial tavern with a working fireplace and intimate proportions that create a setting like no other – offering a Hamptons experience impossible to replicate. The cozy atmosphere and exposed historic elements transport guests to a bygone era while enjoying signature modern cuisine and service – truly one of the Hamptons’ most unique dining experiences.

Legendary Signature Dishes

The Tavern showcases two beloved favorites that have earned devoted followings: our custom-blend burger featuring locally raised beef and our infamous meatloaf. The burger represents the pinnacle of elevated comfort food served on elegant Bernardaud china. The classic meatloaf, praised by Ina Garten on The Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” features a perfect blend of pork, veal, and beef with roasted garlic jus that keeps guests returning year after year.

Year-Round Local Favorite

Rich with local character, The Tavern is East Hampton’s gathering place for both locals and visitors, open every day of the week. Whether seeking a casual weeknight dinner or a special meal in an unpretentious setting, guests are offered the same exceptional food and wine program as the upstairs dining room. The flexible menu accommodates everything from quick bites at the bar to leisurely multi-course dinners, making The Tavern perfect for any occasion.

“The tavern downstairs is such a beautiful, cozy spot, and they make an excellent martini.”
