Jue Lan Club
Best Place To Spot A Real Housewife: Jue Lan Club
Nope, that’s not just any fifty-something cougar dancing next to you--the new lounge at Jue Lan Club Southampton is a mecca for Real Housewives. Before you hit the dance floor, make a dinner rez so you can try the Drunken Sea Bass.
268 Elm St., Southampton; 631-353-3610 or juelanclub.com
Most Convenient: Southampton Social Club
After the sun sets, the back patio of this restaurant morphs into a lounge and nightclub. The outdoor spot also gets major brownie points for its location: It’s right near the train station, and there’s free parking (yessss, no valet charges).

AM Southampton
Best Music: Am Southampton
This new nightclub launched by 75 Main owner Zach Erdem has become an instant Hamptons sensation. The lineup includes hip-hop Fridays and a house DJ on Saturdays. Bonus: If you have one too many negronis, there’s a designated-driver service available to take you home.

Most Fun: Ruschmeyer's
There’s something for everyone at this laid-back hotel, whether you’re looking to dance on tables or play an epic Ping-Pong match.
