The Cove Lounge is the perfect place to relax and enjoy yourself. Our custom built wooden bar offers an inviting, comfortable, and fun
atmosphere, while tables allow for sit-down style dinners or drinks. 

Our experienced bartenders can suit all tastes; Seasonal cocktail menus featuring balanced drinks made with love and house-made syrups are available year-round. Carrying 12 beers on tap with seasonal rotations,
an extensive wine list, and a private cellar, if you’re into wine or beer, we’ve got you covered.

The Cove is open year-round! Open to resort and non-resort guests.

Our full restaurant menu is available from 11:30 AM -9:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and until 8:00 PM on Sunday. Pizza is available daily until bar close.
