First and South
Lively Greenport gastropub with a wood-fired oven, craft beer list and a year-round local crowd.
First and South sits a block off Main Street and skews more neighbourhood than special-occasion. Pizzas from the wood-fired oven, sharable mains, mussels and burgers paired with a strong craft beer and Long Island wine list make it a go-to for early dinners after a tasting day. The vibe is loud and friendly, families and groups welcome, and the bar fills with locals in the off-season — usually the best sign you've found the right room in Greenport. Open year-round, which is rare in the village.

Location and structure

Booking and dining club

A raw bar offers local oysters from Yennicott, Peconic Gold, Oysterpond Shellfish Co. and Eel Town Oysters, sold by the half dozen ($22) or dozen ($39), plus Oysters Rockefeller and saffron mussels. 2 Dinner plates include honey miso Faroese salmon with bok choy and jasmine rice ($36) and a pasta pomodoro with garganelli and toasted pine nuts ($26).
Happy hour and Sunday brunch
First and South runs a happy hour Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon to 9pm, and serves Sunday brunch from 10am to 3pm. 2 The restaurant also keeps a group price-fixe menu on offer and a separate kids' menu, and has been covered repeatedly by Northforker and Dan's Papers for community events such as its Land and Sea Gala and pig roasts. 3
