Since opening as The Sag Harbor Motel and Inn in 1958, Baron’s Cove has played host to many notable guests including Sag Harbor’s most celebrated author, John Steinbeck. He visited Baron’s Cove frequently throughout the late 50’s and early 60’s, often visiting with his wife Elaine. The couple named the bar among their favorite spots in the village. To this day, we still make Steinbeck's favorite cocktail, the “Jack Rose.” History is part of our DNA, and in honor of John Steinbeck, we want to offer you the chance to go back in time with us.
Join us Memorial Day or Labor Day weekends for a chance to visit John Steinbeck’s home, originally bought by the writer in 1955, which is now a literary retreat. As part of Baron's Cove 65th anniversary celebration, Cape Resorts is supporting the Sag Harbor Partnership, which recently dedicated the John Steinbeck Waterfront Park and purchased the author's home to preserve it for generations to come.
