Hammerhead's Bar & Grille

Though the sun has set over the tranquil waters of Horseshoe Bayou, guests continue to pour into Hammerhead’s Bar & Grille, their flip-flops clomping against the rustic wooden dock as they make their way to their tables. A musician grabs ahold of his guitar, calling for his bandmates to do the same. Soon the air is filled with lively music and the animated chatter of friends. Strings of Christmas lights cast a colorful glow on the faces of servers, who carry buckets of spicy boiled lobster, platters of crispy fish, and baskets of oyster po-boys out from the kitchen. Bartenders, meanwhile, uncap bottles of rum as orders begin to flow into the bar, nimbly mixing up potent hurricane cocktails with pineapple and lime. Customers recline on their patio chairs and enjoy the restaurant’s bayside setting, which affords them scenic views of boats, seabirds, and rubber duckies fleeing tyrannous toddlers.
