The Lobster House has been on Cape May Harbor for four generations, which by itself makes it worth knowing about. But the reason the Beach Bar Bum sends people here specifically is the Schooner American — a 130-foot authentic Grand Banks sailing vessel moored dockside that operates as an outdoor cocktail lounge. You sit on the deck of an actual working vessel, watch the yachts go by, order from the full bar, and eat lobster in a setting that took about 80 years of maritime history to create. The fishing fleet that supplies the restaurant offloads right here. It doesn’t get more honest than that.
