Cape Might’s bars and nightlife scene had been bustling, even within the offseason.

When my aunt and I arrived in Cape Might on the primary evening, I anticipated to have a quiet night, assuming the city’s nightlife scene could be lifeless in early April. I used to be sorely mistaken — my aunt knowledgeable me that we had been going out. 

Our first cease was The Ebbitt Room, a farm-to-table restaurant inside The Virginia Resort, a 24-room boutique property that was in-built 1879.

It obtained crowded round completely happy hour, so we needed to wait a couple of minutes for a spot. After we lastly snagged bar seats, we drank lemon-drop cocktails and listened to a pianist taking part in outdated jazz requirements. 

From there, my aunt took me to Congress Corridor, a landmark lodge that was in-built 1816. Apart from lodging, this beachside property has a number of bars and eating areas.

In the summertime, folks sit exterior on the Grand Garden & Veranda Bar and soak within the ocean view. However when it is too chilly, the indoor choices are simply as nice.

My aunt was keen to search out some dwell music, so we went downstairs to a pizzeria referred to as The Boiler Room. I ordered a Cape Might Brewing Firm beer, settled in, and listened to a neighborhood band play classic-rock covers.

As extra partiers trickled in, we each admitted we had been prepared for mattress and left. However if you happen to’re on the lookout for a spot to bop on a Friday evening in Cape Might, The Boiler Room has you coated. 

The following evening, after my associate arrived, we went for a predinner drink at Congress Corridor’s The Brown Room, a small, cozy bar with velvet chairs and a wood-burning hearth. After one spherical of drinks, we determined to guard our wallets and headed house.
