Aside from its main waterview dining room it also features 'South', an indoor-outdoor room with moveable doors which creates an airy ambiance along with 'upscale/casual' dining.Īnother feature is the 'Loft' on the second floor which is ideal for private parties and, at a height of over thirty feet, has even more incredible views of both the Shrewsbury River and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It took over three years to complete the new building but the results are even more spectacular than the original. The McLoones decided to rebuild and were the first to do so in the boro. Twenty-Five years later Superstorm Sandy devastated not only the Rum Runner but also a significant portion of Sea Bright. It was immediately known for its spectacular views, terrific cuisine, and live music. Tim McLoone and his investment group purchased the Rum Runner on New Year's Eve in 1986 and reopened it the following October as 'McLoone's Rum Runner'.
