Harry’s Side Bar
7.9
Harry’s Side Bar is the more intimate, cocktail-focused sibling to Harry’s, set just off Stone Street with a polished room and concentrated happy-hour menu. It’s where people go for Champagne, high-end spirits, and bar bites when they want to stay close to the street’s energy without sitting at a picnic table.

Martini with East Coast Oysters, Steak Tartare Toast, Truffle Fries
