Often times there's no better place to sip a cocktail, eat lunch or simply take in panoramic ocean vistas than in the comfort of your own room. Fort Young Hotel's room service menu offers the best of our on-site cuisine, and can be ordered throughout the day (from 7am to 10pm) to be delivered right to your door.
Built within two separate but connected cells, which were once prison cells, the Rum & Wine Cellar will offer tastings of local rums and wines, along with the option to purchase other specialty rums and wines from the Caribbean and the world. This includes the hotel's own ocean-aged rum, which is based on the local "BB Rum" - a unique blend from the extract of the bark of the Richeria-Grandis (locally called Bois Bande) and exotic Caribbean spices. Interestingly enough, this stimulating elixir is widely held for its aphrodisiac properties!
A narrow passage, which features newly rescued stone walls exhibiting a historical timeline of the Fort, leads to this intimate and sunken café. Embedded into a historic area of the old fort, the Museum Café will feature local Dominican coffee and freshly baked pastries for guests to enjoy as a dine-in experience, as well as for grab-and-go.
Beneath the Palisades Restaurant, with a view to match, Warner's Bar combines a relaxing and casual seaside setting with cocktail sophistication. Warner's Bar's staff offers five-star service and a range of signature cocktails, inclusive of our legendary rum punch-a prized recipe that's always on tap.
Located in what was the troops' barracks within the original fort walls, including the musket holes which were used to fire on invaders coming from the rear, the Marquis Bar & Lounge provides a unique and historic ambiance. Open throughout the day and evening, guests can enjoy natural light and ventilation provided by the opened walls leading to the covered pathway and courtyard.
