★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Chickering · Jan 2026

Highly recommended, approachable classic pub food and drinks with a local twist and exciting weekly specials to keep you coming back. My last visit I got the fish and chips, clam chowder, and a pint of Guinness. Phenomenal food and Perfect pour! The new head chef is taking a comfortable local spot and bringing it up to the next level. The next time you are downtown, I highly encourage you to stop by. It was a great way to end the work week.

Nice spot in the whaling district of New Bedford! I was there last night with some friends and we were all very happy with our night out. The restaurant wasn’t busy even though it was a Saturday night. The menu isn’t large but that’s never a bad thing- quality over quantity. The restaurant itself has a large bar and a nautical theme, which makes sense for the area. My friends had drinks and were happy with them. We also started with the nachos. I found the addition of scallops in them to be an interesting but not unpleasant choice. I ordered the fish and chips and they were great! Fries were standard but the fish was flaky and the breading had an excellent crunch. The portion size I felt was reasonable for $24 but some of the prices may have been expensive. Our waitress was attentive bu

This is a cozy bar that serves delicious food! I always get the monster lobster roll for $40, but this year they doubled the price at $75 with French fries.... And $9 for a quahog??? I go to this place once a year but this time my lunch totalled $100.... No alcohol either. Probably won't go back. Sad

Loss of words it was so good. The staff was lovely. Packed Friday night. Made the magic happen with the food. Best lobster roll I’ve ever had. Will definitely be back. Don’t even think twice. If you’re looking for a lobster roll. RUUUUN! Just stooooopid good!

Unable to sit outside on a beautiful summer day because they don’t have umbrellas?! Food was below average and overpriced for the area. Calamari was overcooked, fish and chips were average, Cuban wasn’t good and the chourico melt was lacking in every aspect. Will not be returning!!
