Classic hotel bar with exposed brick and old-money Cape May energy

The Brown Room at Congress Hall wraps exposed brick and moody atmosphere around one of Cape May's most storied hotel bars, giving cocktail hour a genuinely theatrical quality. Cozy nook seating near the back is worth waiting for.

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.
