Food Scene

This is one of our favorite places. It's focused on local, has a decent selection of local beers and wine, and makes a great haddock burger and veggie burger. They don't take reservations and can get really busy. If you have to wait for a table, go next door to their “Bars and Bites” for a drink, or to Obladee if you’d prefer a glass of wine.

Outdoor beer garden. Great place to go if you’re lucky enough to be here on warm sunny day. If it’s a rainy day, go to their original bar location on Barrington.

The other beer garden in town. Right on the board walk, so you get wonderful views of the harbor. Bring a sweater, because it’s always a little chillier on the boardwalk

One of the newest micro-brewery in town. Also one of our favorites. You can also buy tall cans or fill up growlers. Good place to stop if you get thirsty after walking around citadel hill.

Sightseeing

If you want to see the iconic light house and rocky coastline this is the place to go. Don't go to close to the edge of the rocks or you could get washed away.
