Your Favorite Bar and Nightclub is Destined to Become your Favorite Restaurant with its Footlong Sub Offerings Available from Noon to 1 a.m.
At 7 p.m., the sun has begun to set and a family sits on the deck of the Lampost watching the diverse crowd meander down Circuit Avenue. Many are perusing for places where they can eat or drink. The family already settled on the Lampost’s deck is among the first to know that you can do both right here.
The busy bar and nightclub located in the heart of Oak Bluffs has been offering a new menu since April. The menu debuted with four different footlong subs: Italian, meatball, hot roast beef and turkey bacon ranch. Also featured are traditional hot dogs and steaming soft pretzels.
But preparing a delicious snack wasn’t enough. The Lampost’s new late night menu, which is now available all day long, has additional perks. It is inexpensive, and you can dine in or grab it to go. That means you can enjoy a $9.95 sub when looking for a quick lunch between shifts, or at night after a few drinks. And when you are in a rush, call ahead and order for quick pick-up.
“We figured that if we were going to do it, we decided to do it big,” explains co-owner Jamie Hayes about the choice to offer footlong sandwiches. “We wanted people to think that if they wanted a big sub, they would go to the Lampost. We’re just trying to get some good, quick food out there.”
All the subs can be ordered hot or cold and are accompanied by a side of chips.
In Hayes’ opinion, order the subs baked so that the bread gets crispy and the heavy heaping of cheese melts. Without question, the melted cheese mixed with a rich red sauce on top of the meatballs, as well as the sweet taste of pale provolone cheese that tops off the marinated roast beef sub, adds an extra something that guarantees you will finish every single bite. The crisp strips of bacon on top of the turkey bacon ranch, meanwhile, are mouth-watering. And the Italian sub, a costumer’s favorite, is described by Hayes as “the best on the island”.
Our tip: try them all and check back often because Hayes promises The Lampost will be adding more items to the menu soon.
The Lampost has long been a hot night spot on MV thanks to its sparkling libations, dynamic dancefloor and live music. Now, the Lampost is on its way to becoming a very popular dining spot during the day and at night.
