From first coffee to final cocktail, Boardwalk Bar is in step with the guest's entire day. This indoor-outdoor bar just off the Boardwalk is designed as an all-day amenity. It's an easy stop from sunrise to sunset that keeps a property active around the clock. By serving every daypart, it extends guest engagement well beyond the evening rush and turns a single space into a consistent driver of traffic, revenue, and atmosphere.

Boardwalk Bar is designed to carry the full day. A menu of signature cocktails sits alongside a curated wine list spanning crisp coastal whites and rosé to bold Napa cabernets, plus local drafts, craft bottles, and hard seltzers. Easy shareable bites like citrus-marinated olives, truffled potato chips, spiced crispy chickpeas, and zaatar pita round out the experience. From a midday break to a sunset nightcap, the program is built to draw guests in at every hour and keep them lingering which turns a well-appointed bar into a genuine destination.

Boardwalk Bar is more than just a standard lobby bar. We designed an open-air waterfront destination that draws the surrounding community in, extending the property's reach well beyond its rooms. It's gathering place on the lake where locals and travelers converge. Live music, an approachable food and beverage program, and an unhurried setting position Boardwalk Bar as a community anchor — driving repeat local traffic, building the property's profile as a destination, and creating revenue that isn't tied to occupancy alone. The result works on every level: a differentiator for the hotel, a draw for the neighborhood, and a memorable sense of arrival for guests.

The Cocktail History Bar Ritual is a short, theatrical moment at the bar — a bartender sharing the story behind a classic cocktail while crafting and serving it in a signature way. Part storytelling, part performance, part living history, it turns an ordinary drink order into an experience guests remember and return for. It's also a small example of a bigger philosophy. We don't just program our bars and restaurants — we bring them to life. Ideas like this show how we think creatively about food and beverage, designing signature moments that build atmosphere, deepen guest loyalty, and give a property a personality all its own. A weekly ritual becomes a reason to come back. That's the kind of thoughtful, differentiated programming we build into every space we create.
