Famous for Seafood
Since 1917

Established in 1917, Bahrs Family has been serving the finest lobster on the East Coast for over a century. Located at the entrance to Sandy Hook National Recreation Area in Highlands, N.J. (not to be confused with Atlantic Highlands further west), we are one of the oldest restaurants in the United States, known for our lobsters and seafood dishes—both cutting-edge and traditional—caught locally and sustainably. Our menu features clams, oysters, scallops, steamers, flounder, monkfish, as well as prime seafood from distant markets. For landlubbers, we offer prime steaks, chicken, German specialties, and vegan options. Don’t miss our popular tiki bar and Diver Dan’s Lounge. During the off-season, we also have private dining rooms available.
