This is one of our favorite spots for drinks and dinner. Ask the server if they have the Tuna special on the menu that night (it's a bit of a local secret that even when they don't say they have it, they will make it when asked) --- it's a serving of incredibly fresh (usually local) tuna server barely cooked with a huge salad. This is one of the only places open LATE on Cape Ann.

You can see Roy Moore's bustling deck full of tourists eating THE BEST lobster rolls in the area from our deck. It is ALWAYS busy. The lobster is fresh off the boat from their own boast and is always local. Also try their fresh fish, cherry stones, oysters and crab cakes --- all served up with no frills (and a cold one if you like) for dining on their deck or take out and enjoy on our deck. This is the place to go from fresh steamed lobster too.

This is the place all the locals go for great music, stiff drinks and, surprisingly, pretty decent bar food...The crow varies by the night of the week but there is music 7 nights a week with acts ranging from nationally known to super local. The drinks are HUGE and strong! Open year round.
