Sure, the snow is still coming down and winter is officially here but every few days it seems we get a taste for what warmer days are like. And, for good reason! Spring is truly just around the corner. The promise of warmer weather and sunny days has us planning our summer weekends in advance and at least a few of them are going to include this beach bar.

Bernie’s Beach Bar will make you feel like you’ve somehow transported yourself to spring break, but in the most lovely and full-of-beautiful-views sort of way.

Located in Hampton, this is one of the only places on the New Hampshire beach where you can find great food, cool drinks, lots of music and views.

The rustic, beachy feel makes this the perfect home base from which to enjoy a warm summer day.

For one, the deck is gigantic which means you’ve got plenty of room to dance to the live bands that are almost always playing during the weekends here.

Second, the views are second to none. Look out over the waves from afar without having to worry about getting sand in your food.

Healthy, fresh local recipes are used to make everything on the menu. They even have an entire menu for those who can’t eat gluten!!

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a bar without the drinks. And there’s an extensive menu featuring everything from local craft beers to these festive options.

And, if you just can’t wait until the summer to enjoy the beach head for this indoor version. It might make you think you’re in the Caribbean.
