Things To Eat, Drink & Do
Red 36
If the sun is shining, the deck at Red 36 is the place to be. A short walk from the center of town, Red 36 is our go-to for dockside dining in Mystic. Grab some oysters, a glass of rosé, a lobster roll and enjoy some boat watching.
Sift Bake Shop Mystic
If you don't mind a line, Sift has the best pastries in town. We love their award-winning cronuts and coffee.
The Shipwright's Daughter
One of the New York Time's top new restaurants of 2024, Shipwright's Daughter is the star of Mystic's culinary scene. Serving equally delicious brunch and dinner menus, Shipwright's has something for everyone.
Oyster Club
Another one of Mystic's best restaurants, Oyster Club is a short walk from our welcome party, and boasts one of the best happy hour deals in town. Check out Oyster Club for their raw bar, dinner, or their outdoor bar Treehouse.
The Port of Call
A sister restaurant to Oyster Club, Port of Call serves some of the most creative cocktails in town, in a beautiful setting that evokes the interior of a ship. Be sure to try an order of their famous beef empanadas.
Captain Daniel Packer Inne
Take a step back in time at this historic 250-year-old inn. A local favorite, DPI offers elevated pub fare and one of our favorite clam chowders.
Abbott's Lobster In the Rough (Noank)
You'll find a quintessential Connecticut lobster experience at this rustic, no-frills eatery. Pack a bottle of wine and enjoy some lobster with a water view a short drive from Mystic.
Mystic Seaport Museum
Mystic boasts the largest maritime museum in the United States and has preserved a number of sailing ships, such as the whaling ship Charles W. Morgan, as well as a re-created 19th-century seafaring village. Guests of the Delamar enjoy free admission to the museum.
Stonington Borough
If you enjoy New England charm and water views, take a stroll through the picturesque streets of this historic fishing village. A 10-minute drive from downtown Mystic. We'd recommend parking near the square and taking the half mile walk down Water Street to the point. In the Borough, we love Noah's for breakfast and the Dog Watch Cafe for a waterside lunch or dinner.
Mystic River Cruises
There is no better way to enjoy Mystic than from the water. A Friday afternoon cruise on Captain Eric's antique picnic boat with a cooler full of Fisher's Island Lemonades is the perfect way to start the weekend.
