Barnacle Bud's – Seafood
Tucked away along the water’s edge, this rustic riverside retreat captures the carefree spirit of a coastal getaway with its weathered wood accents and sun-soaked outdoor seating. Guests toast to the afternoon with vibrant, fruit-forward punches and zesty margaritas, or craft their own savory masterpieces at the legendary, spice-laden Bloody Mary bar. It is a spirited sanctuary where the breeze carries the scent of the water and every clinking glass signals a slow, salt-tinged escape from the city bustle.
