Black Whale
Beach Haven's Neighborhood Bar
Prior to the Black Whale, we did fish. Opening the Black Whale wasn't just an exciting new foray into running a local watering hole – it was being part of the thriving Queen City, just far enough off the Boulevard, easy to duck into just off the beach. Today, we are Beach Haven's neighborhood bar, open for family lunch and dinner right through late night high balls of fine whiskey.
