Experience the dramatic presentation and flavor of a Flaming Coffee at Hotel Manisses.
Block Island offers many unique experiences for both first-time visitors and those returning year after year. After a long day spent exploring the island and having fun, head over to the Hotel Manisses Lobby Bar for a festive way to end the day. The Flaming Coffee has been a hotel Manisses tradition for years. One of our bartenders will put on a show as he or she prepares the Flaming Coffee.

Flaming Coffees are typical to Spain, but you don’t have to cross the Atlantic to experience this flaming beverage. Like the Hotel Manisses, this drink has a rich history.

Thankfully, guests of the Hotel Manisses Lobby Bar get to drink this blazing treat in a beautiful, relaxed setting, and need only muster enough courage to experience the bold flavor.
