Cherry's Pit, Fire Island, New York

With a breezy deck strung with hundreds of festive, little red lights, Cherry's Pit (631-597-6820) is one of The Grove's great little hangouts, its back deck overlooking the Great South Bay and the community's main dock. The bar attached to the complex that includes the Cherry Lane restaurant and Bay Gulls cafe. Cherry's receives a steady flow of traffic from morning well into the evening, and it's a bit more guy-oriented than the other nightlife options in Cherry Grove.
