Since 1965

A neighborhood institution
with a salty soul.

Three generations of families have crowded around our paper-covered tables, mallets in hand. We're a tavern first — loud, warm, and a little weathered — but the seafood is taken seriously.

Come hungry. Stay a while. Leave with butter on your sleeves.
