I suppose I'm not a "local". I suppose my kind isn't "welcome here". I went with a HUGE group of people that basically packed out The Liar's Saloon. We were all dressed up since we just left a rehearsal dinner for a wedding and we definitely got some "why are they all here" looks.
The Liar's Saloon is a spot where the locals of Montauk go when they're done with their day. It's a dive. When we all came and packed the place out, I don't think too many people were too happy. Yes, they have cheap beer and cheap liquor drinks. Yes, it's on the water. However, that's where it all stops. One bartender leads to everyone waiting for a while and when I'm getting harassed for my drink order, it makes me NOT want to go back inside for some more.
It was good for the occasion, but I wouldn't go back even if I was a local. It is what it is and I know this review won't stop it from being what it is. A dive for locals. I know they all enjoy it.
One of the divey-est of dive bars I have ever been to, so I love it.
Grabbed a mudslide and couldn't have been happier. Â $11 for pure joy served with a smile. Bar was littered with locals so I stuck out like a sore thumb.
And for you cheap bastards or budget conscious hard working folk ....$1 Draft Buds...
Have fun at this place...
You can completely lose an entire evening, wake up (with no money) in someone else's clothes under a bush or a boat that hasn't seen water in a decade. Â You will most definitely have a headache like someone is trying to stuff an electric toothbrush in your ear, be so hungry you consider snacking on the dead seagull you've been using as a pillow and smell like a combination of cigarettes, beer, marsh gas and urinal.
You'll probably think to yourself, "Why does this always happen to me at Liar's?" Â Well, son, I'm glad you asked...
You see Liar's is the perfect dive bar. Â It's got amazing pictures of fish and fishermen back when there were real fish around and when it took a lot more skill to catch them. Â It's got beer (lots and lots of beer) and every other libation. Â It has outdoor decks, darkness, moonlight, wicked crowds and some crazy-ass locals who seem like librarians compared to the crazy-ass visitors. Â Somehow all of these people get frigging destroyed over the course of the evening. Â They dance, they sing, they toast, they trade rounds, they smoke all kinds of stuff (probably for medical purposes) and by the end of the night, someone like you is passed out under a bush. Â Your friends, who could barely see at that point, didn't even realize you weren't in the pink taxi that took them back to wherever you all started the evening. Â They are probably still sleeping. Â Good idea to stagger out to the road and see if you can find your way home yourself.
It's another Liar's morning. Â We all recognize the look. Â We're not letting you in our cars. Â Just keep your thumb to yourself and keep walking. Â You did good to get this far without a felony!
Great dive bar in Montauk. Â Nothing pretentious about this place.
The crowd is fiercely local- but they were VERY friendly to me and my friend when we arrived.
$1 draft Bud  - the cost of other beers was $5 for Bass on tap - $5.50 for Amstel Light bottles - so stick to the $1 drafts if you are watching your wallet.
The place has a honky tonk type vibe - folks were dancing to the juke box, coming up to us to ask us where we were from - before we knew it, we knew practically everyone in the place.
Our Bartender was very nice - but the one drawback - we were there for over 4 hours, brought folks there when we ran back to our hotel to freshen up, but we never got one buy back - hence the 3 star rating.
I will make it a point to stop by the next time I'm in Montauk - we had a blast there.
Cheers!!
1. Navigate the sea of horrible humans on the LIRR on a Friday. Politely tell the woman using the seat next to her to house her purse that there are no seats left. Ask her to move her purse. When she refuses, get the conductor involved.
2. Find Tim, the best cab driver in Montauk.
3. Get your party to Liar's Saloon. Point out the bachelorette. Proceed to become very popular.
4. Count the mullets.
5. Marvel at the older man using the pole for dancing.
6. Leave feeling like rockstars.
A haven in an area filled with pompous dipshits. Â Come here and see 50-something men singing karaoke to Kelley Clarkson drunk off dollar beers and whiskey shots.
This shack is right on the harbor, which you can gaze at from the back porch while sipping very cheap beer. Â Inside, the floors are dirty and the bar is tended by an angry woman who walks away if you take too long to order.
Not for tourists or people on their way to Gosmans - bring some friends with you and watch the parade.
Quintessential Dive Bar - Seedy waterfront ambiance. Gotta love it! It's Montauk-
Everyone should go here. It is a rinky dinky pub with a few tables on a chilly dock / boatyard.... Its tucked on the side road just south & east of the main Gosmans dock restaurants.. Â Go here.. and order $1 beers. Then admire the boats parked at the dock if the boat owner is there waiting for some attention. Then proceed onto Gosmans.. but first stop here .. a not touristy locals place which gives you a briny feel for the day...
When you get there.. if your hesitant to drive in - just do it... and if you dont like the inside pub.. go to the window.. or send your friend in to get two beers and drink outside. btw this reccomendation is for daytime only.. I have no idea what this place is like at night.
