NEPTUNES

 

The Big Fish Sign Welcomes You

Sitting beside the club Summers and across the street from the Drift Inn, Neptunes Beach Club stood for decades as everyone’s go-to club for PAR-TAY music!  Situation right on the ocean, it had two huge outdoor bars and it played party music from the 60’s through the 2000’s.

It had a reputation for being the Boardy Barn on the water.

Some dudes just going nuts on the dance floor.   And yet, some more dudes going nuts on the dance floor.   And one more dude tearing it up.

The lines of cars waiting to enter Neptunes along with other noise problems by Karen neighbors made the town of Southampton crack-down on the paradise club.

 

 

 

The club had gone to court several times, but alas, politics in the Hamptons killed yet another tropical nightclub on the ocean.  But not before a big legal fight.

Save Neptunes! Please

The pleas went unheard as Neptunes Beach Club has now become a museum.  Wanna meet me at the “museum” and sneak a drink in while we silence disco the good ole’ days?
