Tucked into the heart of Greenport, Black Llama Cocktail & Oyster Bar is a sultry, stylish spot where expertly crafted cocktails meet the freshest oysters on the North Fork. With its moody lighting, marble bar, and intimate lounge vibe, Black Llama instantly sets the tone for a night of coastal indulgence.

Start your visit with a signature cocktail—the Black Llama namesake drink blends smoky mezcal with bright citrus and herbal depth, making it an instant favorite. The cocktail list leans creative yet balanced, with everything from spirit-forward classics to playful seasonal infusions.

As for the food, the oyster selection is the undeniable star. Served on crushed ice with house-made mignonette and a kicky horseradish, these local beauties are impeccably fresh and briny. Pair a dozen with a chilled glass of white wine or a crisp spritz for the full effect.

For heartier fare, the lobster roll—served warm with butter on a toasted bun—is rich, decadent, and worth the hype. The crudo plates are also standouts: delicately sliced, perfectly dressed, and plated like art. If you're sharing, don’t skip the charred octopus or the crab-topped deviled eggs—both are small bites that pack major flavor.
