Timeless Elixirs

The South Lounge at Chatham Bars Inn offers a distinctive beverage experience centered around handcrafted cocktails, exceptional wines, and regional craft beverages. At the heart of the program is the Cape Cod Sling, presented through the rare Crawley's Imperial Shaker, a Victorian-inspired mechanical cocktail machine that turns mixology into a captivating live performance.

Guests can explore a diverse selection of signature cocktails, thoughtfully curated wines by the glass from celebrated wine regions around the world, New England craft beers, ciders, and sophisticated non-alcoholic selections. Together, they create a beverage program that balances innovation, tradition, and a sense of place on Cape Cod.
