Does Lemaire have a bar menu?

  1. The bar menu offered at Lemaire is the same menu offered in the main restaurant, so you won’t find a smaller menu only served at the bar. We’d highly suggest arriving early for the happy hour specials, including $2?house and $4 craft and import beers, $5 glasses of featured red and white wine and three appetizers for $20 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily, and three courses for $30 every day from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. So if you’re looking to try the food at Lemaire but in a more casual setting, head to the bar to get these great specials. Additional featured cocktails are available on a nightly rotating basis. Lemaire’s cocktails change seasonally, but standouts include the Garden Martini, (Hendrick’s gin, cucumber water, rosemary syrup), the refreshing Ginger mojito and the Franklin Street Sparkler, which combines pomegranate juice and Moscato d’ Asti. Our Forbes Travel Guide editors agree that the bar menu at Lemaire is pretty great.

  2. The Lemaire bar menu offers a unique selection of small plates perfect for sharing and sampling. The menu features the same fresh, local ingredients and Southern influences of Chef Walter Bundy that are seen in Lemaire’s dinner menu. With items starting at just $5, the menu allows guests to explore a variety of seasonal tastes that can be perfectly paired with wine, beer or a handcrafted cocktail. From 4 to 7 p.m. and again from 10 p.m.-11 p.m. daily, guests can enjoy three appetizers from the bar menu for just $20.

    While the offerings on the menu change seasonally, a few guest favorites can always be found on the menu, including: a local charcuterie platter featuring grilled Surry sausage, caper berries, “Surryano“ ham, Grafton cheddar; pimento cheese with white cheddar, olives and toasted sourdough; Rappahannock River Oysters on the half shell; house-ground filet mignon burger or jumbo lump crab cake sandwich (for those wishing to enjoy a more traditional bar fare).
