Iconic Boardy Barn Listed For Sale In Hampton Bays

HAMPTON BAYS, NY — The iconic Boardy Barn, a nightspot that's been a popular destination in Hampton Bays for years, has been listed for sale at a currently undisclosed price.

According to a post on Loopnet.com, the 12,194 square-foot retail building, built in 1984 and located at 270 W. Montauk Highway in Hamptons Bays, is on the market with Jones Lang LaSalle.

The property sits on a 2.6 acre lot in Hampton Bays only minutes from New York State Route 27, the listing said.

"While the property offers investors the opportunity for redevelopment, the site can also remain as one of the East End’s premier hospitality destinations. The property can be delivered vacant at closing, offering a tremendous end user / development opportunity," the listing said.

According to JoLopresti of JLL, no further information was immediately available.

"It is true that after 51 years of making memories, the Boardy Barn property is now listed for sale with JLL," owners Tony Galgano and Michael “Mickey” Shields said. "We are amazed to see the amount of interest. More importantly, we'd like to say 'thank you!' Words could never convey how grateful we are to our loyal customers, friends and family from over the decades who make The Barn such a special place. All of that said, in the words of Yogi Berra, 'It ain't over 'til it's over.'"

A Facebook post by the Boardy Barn on Sept. 15 read: "The Boardy Barn is now closed for the season. The summer of 2021 went by fast! We want to thank all our wonderful customers that came to the Boardy Barn during the summer of 2021. You made our summer a very special one, and we all had a great time. Memories were certainly created this summer . . .Think about the summer of 2022!"
