New life is coming to the former Lobsterville Bar & Grille space in Oak Bluffs this spring.
On Memorial Day, a new restaurant, raw bar and cocktail lounge called Jetty Beach House is expected to take over the teal Victorian overlooking Oak Bluffs Harbor.
The venture is spearheaded by Jordan Wallace, owner of Midnight Taco and Midnight Mediterranean, and Mike Tierney, a co-owner of Washashore Laundromat.
“We built the restaurant to feel like a perfect summer day [or] night at your best friend’s beach house, easy and ethereal early in the evening, then gradually more lively as the night goes on,” Mr. Wallace wrote to the Gazette on Monday.
Former Lobsterville owner-operator Leslie Graham still owns the building. She told the Gazette she sold the business last year and now leases the space to Mr. Tierney and Mr. Wallace.
The Jetty Beach House menu will spotlight craft cocktails and local seafood, from Island oysters to seasonal Vineyard catches. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., guests can enjoy a casual atmosphere with a raw bar and cocktails. From 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., the new owners will mark “golden hour” with music, and at 9 p.m., a DJ will take the stage.
“We want it to be a place where you can come for lunch, a relaxed dinner at sunset and end up staying for the full night without it ever feeling like a different place,” he wrote. “The experience will naturally progress from golden hour … into something a little more social [or] cocktail bar-coded as the night unfurls.”
Renovations are underway in the space, which Mr. Wallace said are designed to reflect its new identity as an oyster and cocktail bar.
“Think lots of mirrors, [a] gorgeous new oyster bar, [a] brass-wrapped bar [with a] marble bar top,” he wrote.

“menu will spotlight craft cocktails and local seafood, from Island oysters to seasonal Vineyard catches.”
The owner of Midnight Taco and Mediterranean is taking over the Old Lobstervile space. HIs other two places are great! We found him when he first opened at Midnight Taco. Great food, drinks and staff! The fish at Mideterranean is literally a whole fish off a BBQ outside the shop that tastes like you are in the Caribbean. So looking forward to trying his new place but will miss Lobsterville.
Yes, a little interesting that the published menu as being described in the article is not “Mexican” Plus American “Mexican Cuisine” is TEX MEX…….
The first 2 comments obviously didn’t read the whole article
