Outdoor Bar – Cape May Area Restaurants and Dining

Outdoor Bar
These Cape May restaurants offer outdoor bars in-season! Some may extend into the fall depending on weather. Give them a call before you go to make sure the outdoor seating is available. We’ve included outdoor spaces with a sun/weather structure that is still open air, and those with a walk-up window for bar service from a porch.
