Locally brewed beer and soda
The establishment does not include a kitchen or food menu, so customers are encouraged to bring snacks and meals into the tasting room, so make sure to grab a bag of your favorite chips or pretzels. Boasting no less than 2,000 square feet of inside space and a large outdoor covered biergarten, this speak easy offers the full set of Cape May beer choices in pints, flights, and growlers. For those who wish for non-alcoholic options (e.g. designated driver’s and expectant mothers), the tasting rooms also offers its own in-house brewed root beer and ginger ale. It is a gem.

Cold Spring Brewery
733 Seashore RdLocal eateries
The restaurant is very boisterous, but the food is definitely worth the hustle and tussle. The portions are huge and the prices are good too. You could easily transition from shopping on the same block to eating a "uniquely American meal with upscale atmosphere." There are vegan and vegetarian options also! They have live music and entertainment inside, and a balcony outside to get the most of those summer nights.
