South County Just Got More Delicious

Mother Nature hasn’t been kind to the Ocean State over the past year. Between Superstorm Sandy ravaging our coastline to Winter Storm Nemo turning everything into a frozen wasteland, it seemed like we just couldn’t catch a break. That was especially true for two beloved landmarks: The Coast Guard House in Narragansett and Tara’s Tipperary Tavern in Matunuck. Sandy turned the CGH into a pile of rubble last fall, and the subsequent renovations lasted all winter and spring. Tara’s, after repairing all of Sandy’s damage, caught even more trouble from Nemo and had to do an especially difficult second round of repairs.

But, there’s good news. Both places are back up and running, and just in time for summer. Tara’s reopened in early May, serving delicious Irish and American favorites which taste even better in sunny weather on their expansive deck. The Coast Guard House opened at the end of the month. For now, only the outside deck is open, but an oceanfront cocktail sounds perfect right about now. Cheers to perseverance.
