There are a limited number of vegan options available at this restaurant. We opted for the pizza, which was quite enjoyable. The hand-cut chips were also delicious. View all feedback.

What CetaceanRave dislikes about Harbar Beachbar Kitchen:
As of March 2023, the only choice available is fries. However, I was pleased to find that they offered vegan spiced mayo and vegan sriracha mayo as dipping sauces. View all feedback.

This bar is fantastic! It's a wonderful spot to relax, especially when the sun is shining and you can enjoy the beautiful sunset views. The atmosphere is so peaceful and the food is delicious. The drink prices during happy hour are very reasonable. I highly recommend trying the fish tacos - they are absolutely delicious and one of my favorite dishes there. The staff are all very friendly and provide great service.

We went to this restaurant on Sunday of the Labour Day weekend and received great service. The food was amazing, especially the fish tacos which I highly recommend. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the sun and overlook the water, making our day even better.

There was no menu available online. When I mentioned that I couldn't find it anywhere, their response was simply to "come down to HarBar to see it."

Not as impressive as it was when it was the Waterfront Eaterie (and I assure you, I have no bias as a former staff member). However, the service is excellent, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is wonderful.
