Greenport’s waterfront has welcomed a bold new addition with Common Country East, the restaurant that has taken over the dockside spot once home to Crabby Jerry’s. Managed by the Gansevoort Street Hospitality Group, the team behind Claudio’s properties, the space combines luxurious seating, a lively bar scene, and a hint of Wild West style, creating what feels like SoHo House on the water.

The transformation was a risk, but one that pays off. Guests still enjoy the breezy dockside setting, views of the boats, and the casual charm that made Crabby Jerry’s beloved, but now with a more elevated approach. Plush couches, inventive cocktails, and a menu that mixes seafood classics with modern twists make this a destination that feels fresh while staying rooted in Greenport’s spirit.

The menu offers plenty to come back for, with dishes like jalapeño poppers large enough to share, a hot lobster roll brimming with meat, and lobster rangoon that fuses local flavors with New York City flair. The blackened fish sandwich, made with tilapia and Old Bay remoulade, stands out for its kick, while staples like fried calamari, wagyu burgers, and tuna poke round out the selection. Drinks also shine, with creations like the Common Country Bev, a surprising blend of mezcal and aperol that captures the restaurant’s mix of old and new.

More than just a new restaurant, Common Country East represents a new chapter for the Greenport waterfront. It embraces the laid-back dockside vibe that locals and visitors love while offering an atmosphere and menu designed for today’s dining scene. Whether it’s for cocktails at sunset or a full meal with friends, it’s a spot that feels poised to become one of the North Fork’s defining destinations.
