Murf’s Backstreet Tavern

Known For

Dimly lit corner bar where conversations actually go somewhere

Murf's Backstreet Tavern leans fully into its moody atmosphere — low light, golden hour glow through the windows, and a bar crowd that actually talks to each other. It's the kind of date spot that works precisely because it's not trying to impress anyone.

🕐Best time to visit: Friday evenings after 8pm

64 Division St, Sag Harbor, NY 11963, USA

Our Take

Murf's has the lived-in, low-lit tavern energy that's increasingly rare on the East End — no design budget, just genuine character built over decades. It's a nearby-worthy stop for anyone craving something unpretentious amid all the polish.
