Canal Lounge

This bar is simply stunning. The venue is a repurposed boat with a gutted inside to offer ample seating. They have a dozen or so tables along both sides & a bathroom at the back of the boat near the bar. When you're sitting down, you can feel the boat swaying back & forth. You can also open the windows & say hi to people passing by on paddle boats. This bar has two outdoor seating areas; one at the front, which can be challenging to get to as you need to swing around the side of the opening into the bar, & another one at the back, up a ladder. Personally, I preferred the front outdoor seating area, as it offers a gorgeous view of the canal & has gorgeous flowers to admire. Be aware that you are exposed to the elements outside of the boat & it can get quite chilly. The chairs are also not affixed to the boat, so one slip & you might end up in the canal. The rear outdoor seating is just a set of cushions in a wooden box, but it feels a lot more secure. The outdoor seating areas fill up immensely quickly, so you have to be lucky to get one, but the other tables indoors are gorgeous as well. I ordered La Bouee, which was a delicious drink, & a Perfect Storm, which I enjoyed mixing to my taste. My friend ordered a Malibu Seabreeze & said it was absolutely delicious. We also got chips to share, but I thought at $7 it was quite overpriced. Do note this bar has a 2 hour limit on stays, but this wasn't a problem in my experience. We weren't asked to leave, but also went on a weekday when the bar was nearly entirely empty. Keep it in mind if there's a line waiting on the pier.
