The Horseshoe Bar
It's intimacy. It's happy hour. It's interaction. Nine beers on tap. Local artwork on every wall. Crafted cocktails made with recently picked ingredients — watermelon, ginger, mint, basil. The Black Whale IPA brewed by Cape May Brewery, poured cold. And sometimes, it's all about the conversation.
Craft Cocktails
Made with ingredients picked recently. Watermelon. Ginger. Mint. Basil. Drinks we found traveling the world, poured two blocks from the beach.

Three Nights a Week.
All Summer Long.
We've been committed to local musicians since before it was fashionable. Artists who started in our kitchens. Who put demo tapes in our hands. Who built careers on these stages. The Black Whale is where they come home to play.
