Cocktails & Small Bites

There isn't a more sophisticated way to wrap up your day in Cape May than an evening at the Brown Room, a stylish lounge occupying the same spot as Congress Hall's first legal post-Prohibition cocktail bar.

Please note that the Brown Room does not accept reservations.

Wine List

Our selections highlight premier vineyards worldwide, with a particular passion for California and Western Europe. Occasionally, a wine from beyond these regions captivates us so much that we feel compelled to feature it. We hope you find these choices as exciting as we do.
