Since 1970, this summer hotspot has gained a reputation as the only place to be in the Hamptons on a Sunday after a tough morning of tanning or as a hair-of-the-dog antidote to a rough Saturday night. The crowd is a mix of summer-sharers and locals in a high-energy, alcohol-fueled atmosphere at both the indoor bar and outside the barn, where cheap beer and a rotation of DJs keeps everything copacetic. Longtime patrons should know that the bar has sobered up a bit, instilling a new set of rules that prohibits, for instance, the time-honored tradition of pouring beers on "Barn Virgins." It's still a fun place to people-watch and get a little rowdy and in general burn off the steam that a summer Friday drive to the Hamptons engenders. You can certainly try to enjoy the Boardy Bar experience on a Saturday night (they're officially open), but if you want to party like it's spring break, you'll be sorely disappointed. -- J.

Yahoo! 360° - Cowboy's Loon Lake "mountainman" blog "Thank You ALL" for being such "Prayer Warriors for Christ.." we are sure "Farther God is SURE Proud of each and everyone of us!!!" blessings david mark www.cowboy4christ.com Today's thought from Hazelden is: Reflection for the Day I'll begin today with prayer - prayer in my heart, prayer in my mind, and words of prayer on my lips. Through prayer, I'll stay tuned to God today, reaching forward to become that to which I aspire. Prayer will redirect my mind, helping me rise in consciousness to the point where I realize that there's no separation between God and me. As I let the power of God flow through me, all limitations will fall away. Do I know that nothing can overcome the power of God? Today I Pray Today may I offer to my Higher Power a constant prayer, not just a "once-in-the-morning-does-it" kind. May I think of my Higher Power at coffee breaks, lunch, tea time, during a quiet evening - and at all times in between. May my consciousness expand and erase the lines of separation, so that the Power is a part of me and I am a part of the Power. Today I Will Remember To live an all-day prayer. You are reading from the book: A Day at a Time (Softcover) by Anonymous

If you want to go to one place and see everyone you know (if your a local) or meet crazy long islanders (if your an out-of-towner) then the "The Barn" , as we all call it is the place to go. But just know that after standing in line for up to an hour (on the slow weekends) and after soaking up the sun and cold beers all afternoon that you will leave The Boardy Barn singing Neil Dimonds "Sweet Caroline" trying to find your sober ride and drenched in beer, barely walking in shoes that will be completely destroyed from the pool of beer you will be walking in, and your entire outfit will be completely destroyed by careless fellow drinkers who pour pitchers of beer on you while the bouncers in their notorious orange shirts are turned away for a moment. And beware- there are the crazy few who will pull your string of your halter-top bathingsuit as they root you on while chugging your budwiser .... but all in all even if you might regret going you still go again the following sunday just like an avid "church goer" as some say, and make memorys that last the whole winter, so be prepared with a camera because stories of the Boardy Barn will last forever!

Old Cranky Dicks...
By vibes7403 on 08/14/2006
Let me tell u, i have been going to the Boardy Barn for almost 18 Years and I know how it goes....long lines and drunks....expect it. I brought my sister and friends for her bachelorette - 17 girls total. The bouncers REFUSED to do anything for us, so we waited patiently for 2 HOURS to get in. The whole time the bouncers were huge dicks....letting people cut right in front of us, telling us it would be only 5 minutes more, making fun of the moms in the group...saying how expensive babysitters must be these days. Just all in all, a huge bunch of cockey, old, cranky dicks. I will never go there again - and I was embarassed in front of 16 other girls - WHAT DICKS!
