From a farmhouse to a legendary eatery in the Hamptons, here's a brief history of Old Stove Pub, as told through media write-ups.

Hamptons.com – "Originally constructed in 1820 and utilized as a farmhouse, the property became an Irish pub in 1967. It then transitioned to a Greek restaurant and steakhouse in 1969."

Dan's Papers – "[Old Stove Pub] became a weathered but comfortable fixture in the community over the decades, with late-night karaoke accompanied by an out-of-tune piano and A-list clientele — including Billy Joel, Ralph Lauren, Larry Rivers, Andy Warhol and John F. Kennedy Jr. — piling into the rapidly aging farmhouse."

East Hampton Star – "Closed for renovations in 2018 [Old Stove Pub] reopened [in 2020]."

The New York Times – "The piano has [now] been moved to the porch, and the menu travels memory lane with a Greek salad, saganaki, half-roasted chicken and Sagaponack steak."

HAMPTONS Magazine – [Today], “the iconic Hamptons haunt, perhaps best known for its glowing neon sign, bucking horse statue, front porch piano and the slogan ‘When you’re fed up with chic, come to the Greek,’ remains true to these classic charms along with Leroy Neiman’s signature artwork in the indoor dining room. ‘The Old Stove Pub holds a special place in the hearts of Hamptonites,” notes [Joseph] DeCristofaro [the restaurant’s new owner and operator]. The history of the Pub is so rich, and restoring this property was a true labor of love.”
