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.
Get excited to dine in our restaurant, on the Porch, or in the newly expanded Phinney’s Pub, where our culinary staff works hard to deliver the freshest ingredients and finest cocktail options Cape May has to offer.
