Whether you’re seeking a pre-dinner cocktail, a post-dinner nightcap, or a late afternoon libation to enjoy wherever you wish, it’s time to go see Harry. Tucked away around the corner from our reception area, Harry’s Bar offers a curated list of classic cocktails from simpler, more elegant times. The décor of Harry’s Bar is a tribute to Southwest Harbor’s maritime past. Featuring rich, painted wood and antique nautical accent pieces, you’ll feel like a guest in a sea captain’s home.

Batson River Fish Camp
Perched on our private dock with the closest views of the lively boat scene just beyond our shoreline, Batson River Fish Camp is your mid-day small plates and pre-dinner cocktail headquarters. The menu features light bites, burgers, salad, and our “soon to be famous” lobster roll. Featuring the easy-going aesthetics of a vintage fishing camp, there’s no better place to be on a sunny day when the winds are steady and the sea is gentle.
