The Clam Bar

As a relic of the past, the Clam Bar is a diminutive red and white-hued roadside shack—decked out with plastic outdoor furniture—serving soups, salads, and all the seafood classics from Local Steamers and Clam Strips to multiple preparations of lobster like the Lobster BLT, Lobster Salad Roll, or Two-Pound Montauk Lobster served with corn. With 41 years under its belt, the spot has solidified itself as a culinary fixture along the stretch between Amagansett and Montauk. And while the summer season draws tremendous crowds, note that happy hour tends to be the busiest time of day.
