Cheers to Summer: Unwind with Happy Hour at MiraMare

If you’re the type who appreciates golden-hour views, flavorful bites, and a good cocktail without committing to a full dinner, then you’re going to love what MiraMare has going on this August. Their daily Happy Hour from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM in the bar area is more than just a few discounted drinks—it’s an entire mood. Set against the stunning backdrop of Venetian Bay, this experience blends small, flavorful plates with an impressive selection of drink specials that make you want to linger just a little longer.

So whether you’re kicking back after work, meeting up with friends, or simply treating yourself to a quiet moment, MiraMare’s Happy Hour offers that perfect balance of ambiance, bites, and beverage bliss. Let’s dive into what’s on the menu.

Small Bites, Big Flavor

Happy Hour at MiraMare isn’t just about sipping—it’s about savoring. The small bites are thoughtfully designed to deliver bold Italian flavors without weighing you down. You can snack, share, or piece together your own personal tasting menu. And trust us—there’s no wrong way to do it.

Start things off with the Buffalo Mozzarella Caprese, a fresh take on a beloved classic. It features creamy buffalo mozzarella paired with heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and a balsamic glaze, finished with a touch of truffle oil. It’s a light, refreshing way to open your Happy Hour experience—and it pairs beautifully with a crisp house white wine.

From the Sea: Mussels, Clams, and Carpaccio

Seafood lovers, take note: MiraMare has some standout options that shine during Happy Hour. If you’re in the mood for something cozy and satisfying, the Steamed Mussels or Clams are a go-to. They’re simmered in white wine, garlic, olive oil, herbs, and butter, then served with toasty crostini for soaking up every last drop of that incredible broth.

Prefer something lighter and raw? Try the Salmon Carpaccio. This dish features thinly sliced salmon topped with capers, dill, a lemon-dill vinaigrette, truffle salt, and a side of crostini. It’s elegant, flavorful, and refreshing—perfect for those hot summer afternoons. Plus, it pairs perfectly with a cold $11 martini (yes, really) from the Happy Hour drink list.

For the Flavor Chasers: Stuffed Mushrooms & Montanara Pizza

Looking for something a bit more comforting but still shareable? The Stuffed Mushrooms hit the spot. These roasted mushrooms are filled with lemon herb oil, creamy ricotta, and fresh basil, then topped with a thyme cream sauce that’s rich without being overwhelming. They feel like a bite-sized comfort food hug—and they’re just right with a glass of house red wine (only $6 during Happy Hour).

But the real hidden gem might just be the Montanara Pizza. This isn’t your typical pizza—it’s fried. Yes, fried. The dough is lightly crisped, then topped with pomodoro sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella, and fried basil. It’s like everything you love about pizza, with a little added crunch and flavor that makes you go, “Wait, why haven’t I had this before?”

Meaty Favorites and Calamari Two Ways

Sometimes you just want something hearty—and MiraMare delivers with their House-Made Meatballs. These are tender, flavorful, and served in a pomodoro sauce with melty mozzarella and crostini. Whether you’re sharing them or hoarding them all to yourself, they’re the kind of bite that goes down easily with a cold beer in hand.

Speaking of beer, MiraMare’s Happy Hour selection includes 16oz cans ranging from $5 to $7.50. You can choose something light and crisp or go for a richer brew—either way, the pairing possibilities are endless.

And we can’t forget about the calamari. MiraMare offers two options: fried with zucchini, lemon, and pomodoro sauce, or grilled with a garlic and herb marinade. Both are fantastic, but if you’re in the mood for something smoky and savory, the grilled version might win you over. Add a Bellini, spritz, or $9 mixed drink and you’ve got the makings of a pretty stellar evening.

The Drink Lineup: Cocktails, Martinis, Wine, and Beer

A good Happy Hour is only as good as its drink menu, and MiraMare delivers. Every day from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, you can enjoy:

$9 mixed drinks (perfectly poured and refreshing)

$11 martinis (from classic to creative)

$6 house wine (both red and white)

16oz beers ranging from $5 to $7.50

Whether you like your drinks spirit-forward or light and fizzy, there’s something here to match your mood. Kick off the evening with a chilled Hugo Spritz or a simple gin and tonic, then switch to something bold like a dirty martini or a Negroni as the sun starts to set.

Looking for recommendations? Pair that Montanara Pizza with a martini for a little Italian-American flair, or sip a glass of chilled white wine alongside the mussels or clams. If you’re in it for a relaxed night with great bites and even better drinks, you really can’t go wrong.

The Bar Vibe: Intimate, Inviting, and Just Right

Let’s talk atmosphere. Happy Hour at MiraMare happens exclusively in the bar area, which means it feels more intimate and social—perfect for unwinding after work or catching up with a friend. You’re tucked away just enough to feel relaxed, but close enough to the waterfront that you still get those beautiful views and breezes.

The staff here are pros—friendly, attentive, and happy to recommend the perfect pairing or let you know what’s new. You’ll never feel rushed, even if you end up staying the whole six hours (hey, it happens).

Ideal for Date Nights, Solo Sips, and Everything in Between

One of the best parts of MiraMare’s Happy Hour is how versatile it is. Meeting a date? Order a few small bites to share and split a bottle of wine. Catching up with a friend? Grab a couple of beers and nibble on meatballs or calamari. Just stopping in after errands or work? Slide up to the bar with a martini and a plate of stuffed mushrooms—you’ll feel instantly at ease.

And because the Happy Hour window is generous—3:00 to 9:00 PM—you’ve got plenty of time to make it work with your schedule. Whether you come early for a post-beach drink or late for a nightcap, MiraMare’s bar is always a good idea.

Don’t Sleep on the Combos

Here’s a tip: turn your Happy Hour visit into your dinner. Order a few small bites, pair them with your favorite drink, and you’ll leave full, satisfied, and with zero regret. A sample trio might look like this:

      • Buffalo Mozzarella Caprese

      • Montanara Pizza

      • Chocolate Swirl Martini

    Or maybe you’re in the mood for something from the sea:

        • Salmon Carpaccio

        • Grilled Calamari

        • House Pinot Grigio

      With flavor-forward plates and low-key pricing, there’s no pressure to over-order—but it’s also easy to try something new every time you visit.

      Why You’ll Keep Coming Back

      Sure, the menu is solid. The drinks are great. But what keeps people returning to MiraMare’s Happy Hour isn’t just the pricing—it’s the experience. You’re sitting in a gorgeous setting, eating thoughtfully crafted food, sipping well-made drinks, and catching some of the best sunset views in Naples. It’s casual but elegant. Social but never loud. Special, but approachable.

      This August, there’s no better place to beat the heat, celebrate summer, or wind down your day than the bar at MiraMare.
