Cover Story: Haven Harbour South's Admirals Club Beachside Bar opens

Haven Harbour South's Admirals Club Beachside Bar opened today! As with its sister location Passages Bar & Grill at Haven Harbour Marina, the Admirals Club team will be led by in-house Food, Beverage and Events Manager Thomasine Dolan, and – also like Passages – will be donning an entirely revamped menu, full of fun and flavorful food and drink offerings.

"Tikis and tapas are taking over our South location," said Thomasine. "Between the beach and new sunset deck [at Haven Harbour South], Admiral’s Club will fit right in with the tropical vibe. Guests can customize their dining experience, pick from a selection of boozy beach-themed cocktails, listen to local artists for live entertainment and admire the greatest sunset views of any of our restaurant properties."

New items on the maturing menu this season will include shrimp sautéed in a citrus brown butter and skewered, crab dip served in an Evergrain sourdough bread bowl, as well as vegetarian options like the Asian slaw tacos and grilled corn and feta beans.

Hours open, which will grow in the coming weeks, will be (for this opening weekend) 5:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. today and tomorrow. Live music will also be provided tomorrow, May 14, from 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m., courtesy of Rick Sommers.

A limited menu will be offered this weekend, but will change and grow periodically throughout the summer. Check for updates to dishes and drinks, additions of seasonal specials, operating hours and more by visiting havenharbour.com and by liking Admirals Club Beachside Bar on Facebook.

Fitness Frenzy: Additional classes now offered to Haven Harbour community

In addition to Saturday morning yoga sessions, which was first announced in last week's issue of this mailing, we are now offering complimentary fitness classes to those slipholders, transient boaters and resort guests who may be of interest.

Be on the look out for more dates and hours – including the addition of personal training and nutrition coaching next month – right here in News @HHMR, as well as online at havenharbour.com. Questions may be directed to Vanessa herself by phone at (215) 520-9594, or email at vgiangi@yahoo.com.

When visiting Haven Harbour Marina, please use only our main entrance and exit found to the east of our marine store and office on Rock Hall Avenue, near the primary "Haven Harbour Marina" sign. Please do not use the service roads that are located to the west of this entrance. The reason for this change is to ensure the safety of employees and patrons, as we have had several close calls with vehicles speeding through service roads and lots, generating dust that hurts our ability to ensure a quality finish on projects; among other concerns.

Passages Bar & Grill at Haven Harbour Marina is now open! Check out what's new on the menu.

DJ Nate Walbert will be in the house tonight, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. Keep up-to-date with events and the latest specials by liking Passages Bar & Grill on Facebook.

This season, we have partnered with Delmarva Craft to once again be stops on their Rock Hall shuttle bus service. A round-ride in Rock Hall is $5.00 per rider. Day Passes are $10.00 per rider (pay once, ride all day). Season passes are also available, selling for $100.00 per rider (on sale May 13). Shuttle will begin service on Friday, May 27, and go until Saturday, October 8.

Get stocked up on locally-grown flowers and vegetables, on sale this weekend and next at Haven Harbour South's pool picnic area.

We have recently adjusted the configuration and location of the trash and recycling dumpsters at Haven Harbour Marina. Where two trash dumpsters originally sat next to the travelift, there is now one dumpster for trash and another strictly for recyclables. An additional trash dumpster is located against the north wall of the paint shop. Please dispose of your trash in the trash-only dumpster, and not in the recycling. Thank you.
