Drinks and Nightlife
The Marsh Pirate Taproom, Marina and Outfitter Store
Located on the Darien River with a covered dock and a laid-back coastal vibe, Marsh Pirate has quickly become one of our favorite places to catch a spectacular Darien sunset. Whether you need fishing gear, coastal apparel, a quality cigar, a place to dock your boat, or a brew from one of their 24 taps, you'll find it here. Tell Chuck and Christina we sent you. And if you see Christin behind the bar, be sure to tell her who you are. She loves meeting visitors and our guests.

Second time here. Love this place. Easy access to what I need, quiet, and clean. My go to spot in Darien.

Such a terrific spot to stay in Darien! The house itself was lovely, the location was very convenient to downtown, and the views of the marsh were excellent. Would recommend overall!

We truly enjoyed our second stay at the Saltmarsh Cottage. Just as when we stayed a couple of years ago, the fresh smell of the home greeted us upon arrival. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. We loved the view of the marsh from the side porch. We definitely look forward to returning again soon.

My husband and I recently returned to the Saltmarsh Cottage for a few days of relaxation and to enjoy the great seafood in the area. The cottage is spacious, beautifully decorated in beach decor, and always impeccably clean. Everything is provided to ensure a perfect stay. The views from inside and its porches provide such tranquility! Kevin and Christin are always very responsive and such gracious hosts! This time we had somewhat of an emergency during our stay, and they were so kind to help us work through the situation. We hope to return soon!
