“This is a local institution for seafood of all kinds. The bar is a favorite waterhole for many local fishermen, and it often has live music. There's a no frills dining room, but the best part is the roof deck for drinks, music, and a more limited pub menu than in the main dining room. Haddad's is about a 5 minute walk from Heart Song Cottage. Take a right out of our front door, walk down to The Esplanade in Brant Rock Center, and you'll see Haddad's on the right, after the strip of stores and the laundromat.”

Just be aware that on weekends after 9pm they have live bands and it gets loud so if you are looking for a quiet place don't go when the bands are playing. The Jetty is about a 5 minute walk from Heart Song Cottage. Take a right out of our front door, walk down to The Esplanade in Brant Rock Center, and you'll see The Jetty on the left, about halfway down the Esplanade.”

At night they often have DJs or live music. The Venus is about a 5 minute walk from Heart Song Cottage. Take a right out of our front door, toward Brant Rock Center.
