Cristen Motty, co-creator of the Off Hampton Film Festival and co-owner of Hampton Photo Arts, lets us in on her favorite hangouts.

A Star Dive Bar

There's another great bar that we love to go to during Bills season called Tidewater. If you're on Montauk Highway, right before the entrance to the reservation, it's there. It's a little dive bar, but their food is killer.

They serve burgers. And their wings are some of the best wings you're going to get out here. 

In Todd We Trust

Todd, the owner, is awesome. He makes you feel at home any time you go – no matter what team you root for. 

We just happen to be Bills fans that go with other Bills fan. But every game there is a fun game. Head there.

It's local and it's small and the crowd is always fun. 

Off-Season

Going in the wintertime is particularly wonderful. I love the old bar feel, the Christmas lights, and it's just old wood. A good place to go.

Inside Tip 📌

Their burgers are fresh, and they're from another local family place called Catena's, which opened in 1923. It’s a local market – with its own butcher – right here in Southampton. 

[And yes, they have Bloody Mary’s.]
