Enjoy waterfront dining at 34° North Restaurant
The Premier Dining Destination on the Crystal Coast
A quick getaway to paradise is as easy as breezing into 34° North Restaurant & Bar. What remains consistent is the emphasis on high quality—both in terms of the food, drinks and the service— all in the relaxed atmosphere of your room.
Try the convenience of our in-room dining service! We serve breakfast and lunch from 7 am – 5 pm and dinner from 5 – 9 pm.
Our own Maker’s Mark Private Select® Bourbon
The Beaufort Hotel has partnered with Maker’s Mark to create our own bourbon. One of only a handful of locations to feature a custom barrel, the hotel’s 34° North Restaurant is a first for the Crystal Coast. The one-of-a-kind bourbon is the product of a custom finishing process applied to the legendary Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
Members of the Beaufort Hotel’s management team traveled to Lorreto, Kentucky, to partner with master distillers at Maker’s Mark. Ask for it by name, Maker’s Mark Private Select® Bourbon. Don’t forget to sign our barrel.
