Where Craft Lives After 9pm

Rob Morton brought big-city training, whiskey knowledge, and real kitchen standards to a beach town that was lacking that in its nightlife. Paul’s is the result. The night here stays alive even after 9pm when the rest of the island goes to sleep because someone who believes in better refuses to phone it in.

Epic Smashburgers. Honest Seafood.

This is a kitchen that treats bar food like a craft and seafood like a responsibility, pairing real sear with consistent handling so the smashburger, pot roast mac, and mahi plates land hot with the consistency locals trust.

Nights That Actually Stay Alive

Date Night, After Dark

Garage doors open, TVs humming, plates landing with the kind of pacing that lets you two stay in the moment. Grab a smashburger, share a mahi plate, and let the room carry the night past 9pm without forcing the ending.

Private Events at Paul’s

Two sides. One point of view. Book the garage-bar energy or the restaurant side with chef-driven pacing, plenty of room for groups, and a team that knows how to run a night without overcomplicating it. You bring the people. We’ll handle the rhythm.

Smash patties crackle on the flat-top, fries hit the window steaming, mahi gets its blackened edge, arcade lights glow, and late-night toasts catch the garage-door breeze while the kitchen calls the fire.
