Harbor Pines Golf Club is proud to announce the opening of The Roost, a pub and grill located inside the legendary golf club. To the delight of locals, The Roost is not only open to golfers, but also to the public and ready to welcome patrons.
With a backdrop of dramatic views of the golf course and lake, The Roost is a chic venue named for the many turkeys hanging out around the property. Hip and sophisticated, The Roost features a warm and inviting rustic vibe that’s perfect for fun days and unforgettable nights.
“After being on the property for 25 years, we know how to take advantage of the views,” says Mitchell Gurwicz, owner of Harbor Pines Golf Club. “The Roost promises to be your go-to spot to enjoy delicious and hearty pub food, cocktails with friends and of course, post-round drinks. It’s pretty spectacular.”
The Roost offers guests indoor and outdoor dining experiences. The interior features bar, table and high-top seating. Guests who enjoy dining in the open air can step out on the new deck and chill in Adirondack chairs with umbrella covered tables, along with a fire pit to kick back and enjoy with friends, giving the al fresco dining experience a festive feel. The Roost also has direct access to a fully covered patio, providing another option to enjoy the fresh air. Together these multiple dining spaces offer various seating options to take in those breathtaking views overlooking the spacious vista of the 1st tee and 9th & 18th greens, along with the course’s lake and gazebo.
The delicious menu of imaginative and freshly prepared food includes sharable appetizers, such as sliders, wings, flatbreads, chili lime shrimp kabobs and tater tots stuffed with bacon and cheese. Of course, a pub must have classic American fare — think unbeatably juicy burgers, mouthwatering dogs, towering sandwiches, hearty chili, tasty soups and healthy salads, all available for lunch and dinner. The evening menu has something for everyone, including pasta, steak, chicken and fish dishes and even a cauliflower steak for vegans.
The bartenders are ready to pour a selection of beers on tap and wines to suit all tastes but have also created an inspired cocktail list featuring the Bloody Mary Martini, Crawford on the Green, and Spicy Margarita. The experienced and friendly bartenders and wait staff are always happy to share their knowledge about the delectable drinks and dishes.
The restaurant is open year-round and is expected to quickly become a locals’ favorite to quench their thirst and enjoy savory bites at the beautiful bar, indoor tables or outdoor dining experiences.
The Roost is part of a three-phase expansion project at Harbor Pines which began at the end of 2021.
“Last year, we celebrated our 25th anniversary,” says Gurwicz. “We used that as our jumping off point for the next three phases. We opened a brand-new pro-shop, and now we’re expanding with this brand-new pub and next up a beautiful new events space. It’s all a part of the next great version of Harbor Pines.”
The Roost Pub & Grill is located at 500 St. Andrews Drive in Egg Harbor Township. The hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Reservations are not required.
