16O9 is open for lunch and dinner service 11:30am – 10pm, 7 days a week
1609 takes its name from the year that the Sea Venture shipwrecked on Bermuda’s shores and the first colony was born. We celebrate that sea-going spirit in our menu, which stars fresh local catch prepared in a fusion of island and Latin flavours. Enjoy fresh and vibrant ceviche, golden fried shrimp, a wide selection of tacos, flatbreads and much more.
We’ve also put together a spirited cocktail menu like our Mango Sriracha Margarita and One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila. You’ll also find plenty of island and southwestern flavours in our Pineapple Crush, Hand-Shaken Bartender’s Colada, and Zero Proof drinks – the Spicy Matador and A Perfect Summer. Once you’ve chosen your favourite, the scene is set for a perfect evening spent watching the sun go down over Hamilton Harbour.

Located on Bermuda's North Shore, Seaside Grill specialises in seafood, including some supersized fish sandwiches.
If your fish tastes especially fresh, there's a good reason: owner Tonka Simpson may have caught it that very morning – he also happens to run a fishing business. Feeling famished, but don't want to make the trek? Seaside will also deliver, with no minimum order. Fish sandwich nirvana is just a phone call away.
