Here’s what your next celebration could look like: Private Cocktail Classes – Learn, shake, and sip your way through one of our themed classes like Tequila Sunset, Espresso Me, or Around the World in 80 Proofs.

 Personalized Wine Pairings – A curated tasting for up to 15 guests with Kendall-Jackson’s Donna Schlosser-Long. You choose the vibe, we bring the wine.

Bourbon & Whiskey Tastings in The Bradstreet – Explore rare pours and smooth finishes in our intimate speakeasy with a tasting experience that’s as bold as it is refined.

Candle-Making & Craft Classes – From spooky season scents to beachy vibes, leave with something beautiful (and handmade). 

 Paranormal Investigations  – Yes, the building is haunted. Yes, the spirits are real—both kinds.

 Psychic Gallery Readings – Gather your group for a night of intuition, connection, and a little cosmic clarity.

History Happy Hours – Drink in the past with stories from Sea Breeze’s colorful (and sometimes ghostly) past.

 Creative Workshops – Manifestation art, seasonal crafts, and more for a therapeutic twist on your night out.

Lake Effect was formed on the belief that most really good songs hold up well even if stripped down to a basic acoustic version. That’s what they put out there; acoustic versions of a variety of music with all three voices working together. The bulk of their set lists come from the 70’s through the 90’s but they like to sprinkle in some newer songs as well as a few older classics along the way.

Since 1994 Steve and Lisa Lowden have been playing music together as a couple - creating Nightfall Duo. An eclectic Musical Journey from the 60’s to the 80’s. Come for a great dinner, apps, cocktails and some cool tunes from Nightfall Duo! They  have so many songs to share with you all! Make sure you make a reservation! This is a free show

Benefit for Kym — Saturday, November 22 | 2PM–10PM  Join us at The Union Tavern as we crank up the good vibes and come together for one of our favorite people — our beloved Kym Stratton — for a 60’s & 70’s Beach Party Benefit! $15 Admission — every dollar goes directly to Kym Your ticket includes:   Beer, wine, and spirit tastings hosted by Kelly   Live music all day (beach tunes & karaoke), Nightfall Duo, and Nuthin’ Fancy   A Steven Tyler & Kid Rock Karaoke Contest — because if you know Kym, you know why! Bring your best vocals and biggest personality — whoever earns the most tips (for Kym!) wins an awesome prize.   A Limbo Contest — because what’s a beach party without one?   Incredible raffle prizes donated by our generous community The kitchen will be closed that day, but we’ll have plenty of delicious food available throughout the event. All tips, raffle proceeds, ticket sales, and a portion of bar sales go directly to support Kym as she faces a long road of treatment and recovery. She likely won’t be back at work for a few months, so let’s rally together and give her the peace of mind she needs to focus on her health. We’re currently collecting donations for raffle prizes and could still use a few more! If you or your business would like to contribute, please drop items off at The Union Tavern or contact us to arrange pickup the week before the benefit. Your generosity helps make this event even more special. If you can’t make it but would like to help, you can donate directly to Kym’s GoFundMe (https://gofund.me/c29d0a40d) or message Kelly for her Cash App info. Every bit truly helps. Come dressed in your favorite 60’s or 70’s beach attire — think flower power, board shorts, flip flops, and good vibes. Let’s fill The Union with laughter, music, and the same kind of love and energy Kym gives all of us every single day. Let’s make this the biggest, most badass, beachiest benefit ever — because that’s exactly what Kym deserves.

Monthly on every second Monday

We are soooo excited to have Chelsey Barry and Mark Cellura play at the Union on the 2nd Monday of the month! Join them and join our Sea Breeze Supper Club. A comforting night out that won’t break the bank. Enjoy a rotating menu of craveable dishes, served with care and priced with the times in mind. Great music. Small menu. Big flavor. Real value. Because Mondays deserve something special, too.
