Nala's Beach (Closed)
Nala’s Beach Bar & Grill at 14 Folly Field Road has closed for good. It opened in June 2025 in the building that used to be Lucky Beach Bar + Kitchen, and it closed in fall 2026, when its owners said goodbye to their guests and staff. It did not move to a new location.
What Nala’s Beach Was
A mother and daughter from Costa Rica ran Nala’s and named it for the family dog. The big, colorful room had a covered patio with seating for around 300, live music and a DJ outside, and dogs were welcome on the patio. The kitchen cooked American Caribbean: tacos, pizza, burgers, fish and chips, ceviche, and a Sunday brunch led by the Pura Vida plate of gallo pinto, plantains and eggs.
