“ Cannot imagine rating The Shack poorly. Where do you think you are, the Waldorf?? Skilled bartenders pouring great drinks (rocket fuels with the actual correct ingredients, unlike other establishments on the island!) Fun environment with live music on the weekend. Just steps from the beach too! Nothing better on a hot beach day! ”

Probably my favorite spot on Fire Island. The staff is super friendly and it’s a very chill atmosphere. Great spot for morning coffee and egg sandwiches too. ”
