Fresh Seafood & Exceptional Service
“If you enjoy music and a bar that’s always busy Harry’s is the place for you. The food is good. The oysters were great. I had the seafood chopped salad which I enjoyed. Our server was named Dushica, and she could not have been more friendly and professional.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Ultimate Dog-Friendly Destination
“Harry’s Ocean Bar & Grille is one of the most fun and happening dog friendly places we have been to in our travels and we highly recommend visiting for a great meal, fabulous drinks, and oceanfront views! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed in the tented outdoor patio area and the rooftop! We were so fortunate to be visiting during the fall and got to experience their ‘Boo Bar,’ a Halloween themed pop-up experience with specialty drinks, spooky decor, and guests wildly dressed up for the costume contest. It was so much fun!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
