🕐Best time to visit: Rainy evenings when the room earns its moodiest atmosphere
Our Take
The Brown Room inside Congress Hall has the kind of exposed brick and moody atmosphere that a grand historic hotel does well — unhurried, slightly theatrical, and very Cape May. It's a solid charming wine stop with more personality than your average hotel bar, and worth knowing about if you're staying nearby.
