What makes it special: Seasonal, pet-friendly pier bar with seafood baskets, cocktails, and front-row views of the harbor and tall ships.
Who should go: Groups seeking casual seafood, drinks, and space for dogs.
When to visit: Warm weekend afternoons or sunset for maximum pier energy.
What to order: Calm Seas lobster roll, fish tacos, Cobble Fish + Chips.
Insider tip: On busy days, order at the counter first—then grab a couch or high-top with the best skyline sightline for you and your dog.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking along South Street and nearby garages at Pier 17; fills fast on sunny weekends—plan extra time.
Dress code: Casual pier attire—shorts, tees, and sandals are common; layers recommended for breezy evenings.
Noise level: Lively to loud—live music and pier crowds make quiet conversations difficult at peak hours.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes on warm, sunny evenings due to walk-in crowds.
Weekday lunch: Typically minimal wait—ample open seating unless a private event is running.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—expect fries, salads, and snacky sides rather than strong mains.
Vegan options: Very limited—may rely on sides and drinks only; verify daily offerings.
Gluten-free options: Some seafood and grilled items can be gluten-free with modifications, but fried items share oil.
Best For
Better for: Open-air dog-friendly seating, casual cocktails, and waterfront music vibes that feel more like a pier party than a sit-down meal.
Skip if: You want quiet dining, strong vegan/vegetarian selection, refined service, or weather-proof seating.
