The Watering Hull in Stone Harbor mixes up new cocktails, Ott's expands into Voorhees and a Burlington fire company space has new service on tap.
Craft cocktail lovers need look no further than The Watering Hull, in Stone Harbor, to satiate their cravings. Sip one of the hand-crafted libations -- maybe Walking on the Beach, made with Hendrick's, sauvignon blanc and cucumber, or a Blue Raz Mule that adds berries to the traditional Moscow version -- and watch the sunset on the restaurant's open-air deck. The food's good, too. Sweet. Located at 261 96th St., Unit 202, Stone Harbor; (609) 830-3106; thewateringhull.com.

Ott's, the family-owned chain of neighborhood sports bars and restaurants, opened a new location in Voorhees in March, occupying the space that was formerly Friendly's in the Ritz Shopping Center. Donald C. Bigley founded the popular concept when he took over the old Ott's Tavern in Delran in 1987. The restaurant has outlets in Delran and Mount Holly; others in Washington Township, Medford and Berlin have different owners. The late Bigley's legacy is being carried on by his sons, Craig and Todd. The Voorhees spot seats 150 hungry sports fans and offers walls of flat screens, lots of beer on tap and a menu that includes wings and burgers, as well as flatbread pizzas, fish tacos, stuffed long hots and a home run of a prime rib sandwich. Located at 890 Berlin Road, Voorhees; Facebook page.
