Patrons of Middle River's Sunset Cove, a dockside staple known as the area's original Beach Bar, have encountered unexpected news on social media. According to a Facebook post by the establishment, Sunset Cove has shut its doors permanently. The brief but heartfelt message thanked its faithful customers and employees for their support. "It has been an amazing run with many fantastic memories," the post read, signaling the end of an era for the local hangout.
Having been under the ownership of Dave and Scott Steele, Sunset Cove earned a reputation for its laid-back atmosphere and wide-ranging food and drink offerings. The bar was a go-to spot for festive gatherings, with game day Sundays, 4th of July extravaganzas, and even summer Halloween celebrations listed among its many themed events.
Despite a detailed explanation for the closure, tiny nuggets of appreciation have been directed toward the team and customers who helped define the Cove's character, as reported by WMAR-2 News.
