HAMPTON — If you haven't been in to the Atlantic Grill, located at 6 High Street in Hampton, you're in for a treat when the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce holds the July "Business After Hours" event there on Wednesday, July 21, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. VIP Mortgage of Hampton is the co-sponsor for this event.

Atlantic Grill owner Scott Eagleson, Operations Manager Adrienne Jimoulis, and Chef Jean Jozepaitis, along with the friendly Atlantic Grill staff, will be your hosts along with President & CEO Greg Deschenes and Vice President Michael Behan of VIP Mortgage, welcoming you into this restaurant that has been described as many things: An eclectic restaurant, a surfer's hang out, a wine and beer bar, as well as "that other place over by the Old Salt".

The Atlantic Grill may best be described as "A casual, laid-back local watering hole." The truth is the Atlantic Grill is simply different. It doesn't fit any standard mold nor does it attract a certain clientele. You notice as soon as you walk in the door. On any given night the bar crowd will consist of local business owners in suits enjoying martinis conversing with some of the local surf crowd enjoying an ice-cold locally micro-brewed draught. The dining area may consist of families with children as well as couples on dates and local soccer or softball teams in for a bite to eat and a "cold one."

The Atlantic Grill is known for their vast variety of draught and bottled beers, and the specialty margaritas, along with a full cocktail menu. The food menu changes daily, with specials that are never boring. Check out the entertainment on Thursday and Saturday nights.

Join the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce for the July Business After Hours networking event, do some business, meet new friends, and catch up with your colleagues in a comfortable setting. Complementary hors d'oeuvres will be offered, with a cash bar. Bring your business cards for networking.

Business After Hours is open to Chamber members and those interested in the Seacoast business community. There is no charge and registration is not required. Call the Chamber at 926-8718 for more information.
