Long Island, Whiskey & soda, a Gold Marg, Silver marg

What drew us in was "The Perfect Storm" but what made us stay was the friendly bartender, the welcoming folks sitting at the bar, and of course, the tasty drinks! At its heart, this is the best kind of dive bar: the kind filled with heart and colorful locals. The photographic homage to sea-faring folk shows none are forgotten while the laughter keeps the joy of camaraderie in the present.

Okay, besides the part that it is associated with a movie, this really is a locals pub and they made us feel right at home. The beers were reasonably priced, the people definitely like talking to the visitors and it takes you back to the old school pub atmosphere. I doubt much has changed here in a long time, which is what makes it perfect! Love that they really do want the memory alive of their lost loved ones and make an effort to talk to anyone that comes in. What a great remembrance and love to a great town and people. Thanks for making us feel so welcome!

I stopped by because I wanted to know about how was the place from the Perfect Storm. I was disappointment no menu therefore no food. So I took some pictures then we left. I thought it was a regular bar with food.

Came here with a friend because he knew about the movie history. It's a good dive bar. The people are friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced. If you're looking for a place where the beautiful people go, this isn't it.

For me, this was a dive bar. Sure, it's the bar from "The Perfect Storm" and it was cool to get here but it's a dive bar. I landed here during some sort of celebration and since I'm not involved with whatever that was, I enjoyed my cold beer and headed onwards. The bar has photos and tributes to the locals who lost their lives at sea. If you're a fan of the movie, this is a must see. [Review 18592 overall - 1174 in Massachusetts - 2114 of 2022.]

Came here because this is the bar of the move "Perfect Storm". Very interesting to see people drinking at noon. lol. It is Boston though. Just came inside to see the cast members photos on the walls along with the people who lost there lives at sea. Highly recommended

Stuffed clam

Famous for movie buffs . Stop by and see the great photo albums . There are many locals inside , they don't bite , they are actually extremely pleasant . Typical bar atmosphere with nice cold beer . I recommend trying the stuffed clams , they are very flavorful and full of real clam pieces .

Great establishment. Wonderful mix of locals and tourist visiting due to the film, The Perfect Storm. The bar pays tribute to the locals that have been lost at sea with pictures on the wall. Atmosphere is great.

Bar tender on right really nice

We had a great time at The Crow's nest. Great fun with locals at the bar, Keno. Had a reservation for a nights stay. Bar tab and room included in one tab. : ) Def will be back.

As a female, not a place I'd feel safe at. They prioritize regular satisfaction Instead of costumer safety. Avoid.

I just met her, but I felt like I was coming home. I waited for my friend to arrive & a couple bar seats to open up, and there were about two dozen people who came in after me while the wait was predicted to be an hour since most had just been seated, so they left. I wish they waited because it did clear up after about 30-40 minutes, but it was hard to predict on a Thursday at 7:30pm during a random downpour. I would encourage anyone to try The Burn, and to wait if needed. It's updated nicely, a bit cozy yet spacious when you're seated. Jess, our bartender, is also very welcoming and hospitable. I ordered a Gold Rush: ghost tequila, cointreau, pineapple, jalapeño & lime; I recall telling my friend, "this is exactly how I wish all my drinks tasted." I ordered the meatballs appetizer, and they got the haddock sandwich. The fries were excellent, and the meatballs were great. My friend loved their sandwich, fresh local haddock of course. Jess helped me make my decision between 3 options and it was perfect for my tastes and appetite of the evening. gold rush 10/10 meatballs 10/10 The Burn has excellent food & service, an elevated casual vibe, and warm, welcoming service.

Great location right by the harbor…read more I came in for a quick drink, and the service was great. They have a great selection of craft beers and a beautiful spot on the water.

Ambiance 7/10 Food 7/10…read moreStaff 10/10 I got married in Gloucester a couple months ago, and we hosted our welcome party at Minglewood Harborside. As far as events, I would give HIGHLY recommend hosting here. The cost for the area was unbeatable, and the food and service was excellent. Let me break it down. We visited beforehand to try the food to make sure it was good to serve to our guests. We tried the bang bang shrimp, chicken tenders and calamari which were some of our potential options. The bang bang shrimp and the chicken tenders were absolutely delicious, but the calamari had absolutely no flavor. We were glad we tried it beforehand so we could make an informed menu decision. We reached out to begin booking about a year or so in advance. I will say, there were times throughout the planning process where my communications and emails went unanswered and I would have to send follow-ups to nudge for a reply. Other than that, our party went fantastically. We had about 120 people which was definitely maximum capacity. Its not the most visually pleasing room or lighting, but it did the job for what we needed. It got very hot in the room but we were able to open the windows which helped. The food was excellent and we could easily order more throughout the night if we needed it. We had cocktail shrimp as one of our items and the shrimp were enormous. We also had salads, charcuterie, bang bang shrimp, sliders, tenders, and more. The drinks were great and the bartenders and staff were so nice. Our party ended at 9 and most people left but we stayed until 10 with some of our friends to drink and dance and they didn't seem to mind at all. Overall it was a wonderful experience and the perfect start to our wedding weekend.

This review is specifically for the Oceanfront Breakfast Cafe…read more While we have stayed at the Inn several times, we continue to come back for the Breakfast Cafe. When they say the best breakfast in Gloucester, it's not an exaggeration! The couple that owns the Inn/Cafe are very hospitable and welcoming people. I've been visiting for the past 15+ years and every stay and meal has always been exceptional. Additionally, the staff they hire and employ is equally committed. It is truly a five-star operation. We were recently up in the area visiting Gloucester and Rockport. As always, one of those mornings meant we had to stop at Atlantis Oceanfront Cafe! It is a MUST. I almost hate letting this gem/secret out. It is the best place for breakfast with the very best view. It is post-card perfect. Your window table overlooks the rocks+water and you can visually see and hear the waves crashing against the rocks. It doesn't get much more picturesque or scenic than that! While the menu has changed a bit since my last visit, the quality has not. The breakfast portions are very generous and everything is of the highest quality. Our favorite is the eggs Benedict. Those perfectly poached eggs resting on top of those bakery-quality English muffins. The tender Canadian bacon. The perfect amount of creamy, perfectly seasoned hollandaise sauce. The side of tender and perfectly seasoned breakfast potatoes. It doesn't get any better than that in my book! Another favorite of mine is their GIANT Fresh Blueberry Pancakes. They remind me greatly of every childhood trip to the Atlantis and Gloucester. I've always told my family if I had to have one last breakfast, let's hope Atlantis Cafe is in season! I am not joking either! Service is always top priority. Friendly and expeditious. The kitchen is open to the dining room and their culinary takes true pride in every plate they put out. If you're looking for the best breakfast with the best view in Gloucester, Atlantis Oceanfront is the place. I did notice the secret has gotten out as of late! We did have a short 15-minute wait this last visit. Parking can also be challenging given the lot size and guest/staff vehicles parked for the Inn. The patience is worth the reward! Best Breakfast in Gloucester. Period. Wonderful, Involved Owners.
