2025 Best Place to Grab a Drink, Martha's Vineyard

Beach Road

On an island where G&Ts are about as complex as cocktails get, the libations at this Vineyard Haven spot are a seriously delightful surprise. Standouts include the “Mad Men," featuring strawberry-black-pepper-infused Herradura reposado, celery, Ancho Reyes Verde, and lemon; and the cheekily named “Fowl Play," which blends duck-fat-washed Eagle Rare bourbon, maraschino, Amaro Nonino, and orange. If you consider yourself a cocktail connoisseur, picture yourself here as the sun dips below the horizon over Lagoon Pond; it’s pretty much the perfect ending to a day.
