My first review of 2024 - and a bucket list item checked!
-have a drink at the aquarium bar at Seafood Bar at The Breakers
I have written about this bar for so long, and it definitely falls in the 'unique dining' category. And I finally made it! Yes, I sipped my cocktail on top of the aquarium that comprises the bar top, watching fish swim under my glass of deliciousness, next to a window with a gorgeous ocean view.
To end up in this spot, my friend and I drove to the iconic Breakers Hotel. I parked myself (free) in the parking lot next to the guard house. The guard was very helpful and nice (thank you!). The journey from parking lot to Seafood Bar is epic in itself. From the epic fountain in front of the hotel to the stunning architecture, ceilings, and furniture in the lobby, I was definitely enchanted. I have been to The Breakers before, but it's been a few years. We had to ask a front desk person for directions to the Bar, then look at signs to find it, as it is at 'the back' on the ocean. I already knew that the kitchen was closed, so we could only order drinks from the bar, which is where we wanted to be.
The aquarium is beautiful and epicly clean - not an easy task! It was fun to watch little fish swim, though there were hardly any in view on our end, which was a tad disappointing.
My friend ordered the pomegranate martini and I ordered the Strawberry Ginger Mojito. I loved the strawberry bits and huge mint leaves inside. Afterwards, we walked right out of the back hotel doors to enjoy the ocean.
Thank you to our kind bartender who told us the gratuity is included in the bill, and served us graciously and with a smile, even at the end of the night.
Next time, I will order an alcohol-free drink, which I did not realize they had til now- and the options look awesome.
So glad I checked this off and I now feel much more comfortable about returning to The Breakers in the future. win win!
