One of those downtown spots in New Bedford you have to try. More of a bar not too many tables to…read moresit. Great beer selection on tap from ipas to ciders to whatever mixed drink you are looking for. We were taken care of right away by the bartender and later on another. The mozz sticks were great, nice cheese pull, the Reuben was the clear winner, not too salty at all, good flavor. The brisket was a little dry for the cheesesteak, and the burger was undercooked (asked for medium well got more of a medium rare), the bun also didn't hold up that great, but the fries were excellent good salt levels crisp and crunch. Would definitely come back for a Bev and a bite!

Solid bar-style pizza (good grub overall), a killer beer selection, and a staff that's not just…read morefriendly--they make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The whole place has that genuine hometown vibe that's getting harder to find, plus consistently great live music (Sundays especially). It's on the smaller side, but they somehow pack the place without sacrificing service, which says a lot. When the weather warms up, they open up a large alley next to the pub for live music--and that's where this place really shines. On a crisp fall day? Forget about it... that's exactly where I want to be. Good food, good people, good music--what more do you need? Enjoy the good times ahead.

She and her boyfriend were verbally assaulted and threatened by the female bartender after a small misunderstanding. She followed them out to the car, was banging on the window and had 2 men with her, blocking the car from the back so they could not leave. She and both guys did not have a mask on and were in close proximity to their faces. Awful customer service by this girl. Not only was she uncouth, she was also not following the guidelines of the state. We will not be recommending bitter end to others while someone so rude and volatile is employed there.

Honestly my only issue here was the amount of help there on their phones and sipping on their water bottles. It was a Saturday and I was there during a lull, but I did roll my eyes once or twice. That said, the location is awesome in downtown New Bedford, right by the whaling museum and amazing NHS site. I really did enjoy the flight (even without the clever names or its cool shape), and that cod fish dish was very tasty--nice unique meal for a brewery, in fact. Would I go back? Absolutely.

Moby Dick Brewing Co. - New Bedford, MA Had a great lunch at…read moreMoby Dick Brewing Co. in downtown New Bedford. The vibe is cool, and they serve up some solid food alongside a great craft beer flight. The Food: Pan Seared NBMA Scallops ($24): Served with linguica, summer corn succotash, and harissa aioli. This appetizer was very fresh and exceptionally good. Beet Salad ($15): Whipped goat cheese, roasted beets, blood orange, toasted pistachios, pickled red onion, arugula, EVOO, and balsamic glaze. My wife loved this salad--it was packed with fresh flavors and textures. Lobster Truffle Grilled Cheese ($32): Made with Gruyère cheese, fresh-picked lobster meat, truffle oil, and toasted sourdough. While it tasted good, the truffle flavor was very light, and there wasn't as much lobster as I would expect for a $32 price tag. Ultimately, it was good, but not really worth the price. The Drinks: We also grabbed a four-beer flight, which came on a fun whale-tail paddle with a handy menu card: 1. Raz Sour 2. Blueberry Ale 3. Capsized IPA 4. Colonial Ale Overall, a fun spot with great starters and a cool flight setup. I'd definitely go back for the scallops and drinks, though I might skip the lobster grilled cheese next time.

It has a great vibe! The staff is friendly, and we were seated right away. We skipped drinks and went right to the food. We had fries, tuna nachos and deviled eggs. All of the food was reasonably priced and it really hit the spot. This was a quick visit that was absolutely worthwhile! If I'm back in New Bedford, I will definitely return here to explore the menu a little further.

Terrible service here. Highly recommend South Coast instead they're great customer service!…read more We have been coming here for many years visiting on vacations to see my dad who has a home here for 20 years and never had an issue. My son was in this store and carried things for grandpa last summer with NO ISSUE. We travelled 3000 miles and arrived today and stopped in. We brought our kids in and the tasting guy was so nice! However the store manager (I'm assuming that's what he was as he was overdressed in a suit) followed my young daughters around eyeing them making them uncomfortable. At one point he told them to not touch anything and they told him they'd not touched anything! The man in the suit was also eyeing another customer across the store and after staring him down aggressively asked him what he needed as well. Then he approached me and I said no we've been many times but thank you nicely. I had our sons grab a couple heavy items and put them in my cart. We grabbed a couple other smaller things. I walked up and another man didn't even greet me as I began loading the cart. He abruptly said I need your ID! I finished unloading and he repeated himself and I said yes I heard you I will get it. They then demanded everyone's ID's. I said these are our children. Do they need to step outside or something? The manager became very hostile and rude. He said he would not sell to us because my son had one of the heavy cases in the cart and he did not have his ID with him. I told the manager I had triple arm surgery and my husband also cannot lift heavy things )he had carpel tunnel surgery recently) so we had asked him to pick it up for us. I said if that was an issue, do we need to leave and then come back or what to do? The manager refused to sell to us and I said at what point are we able to buy? Is this like an indefinite thing or something? He pretty much said not at all. A lot of our friends are law-enforcement at home in our state and I said well if I was to ask the police or if I were to contact the Massachusetts liquor commission, what would they tell me? Then he finally admitted I could come back the next day at that point which obviously we will not be doing. We went to South Coast and had no issue there at all or hassling. I do not usually leave poor reviews but this entire experience was embarrassing and I'd like to note it for future customers. I have a serving license at home and this was over the top and power trip feeling. For reference my husband and I are almost 50 it was very evident we were of age.

-ONE PARAGRPAH REVIEW!!-…read more Ok, a bar scene is all about its atmosphere. And this place has it in spades. I came on a July night. The "garage" is practically an outdoor bar, and the inside is just as warm, fun, inviting. Dan was our bartender. He's the man, and that's not just cause it rhymes. He's the man, and with more bartenders like him this place is the place I want to be when I'm looking to have a good time. Oh, and the tuna tacos was to die for. I know it cause I'm dead!!!!

There was live music playing, which was such a nice touch for a laid-back holiday Monday while my son played corn hole. They have food trucks, although the sushi and taco truck was closed today since it was a Monday holiday. We ended up getting the fish and chips, which had a really light, crispy batter, and the clam chowder was possibly some of the best I've ever had! My son really enjoyed the chicken tenders too. Customer service was good at each of the trucks we ordered from. The bathrooms deserve a shoutout too--they were extremely clean and easy to get to, which is always a plus. They also have a full restaurant that I'd definitely like to come back and try another time. Overall, a really nice outdoor spot to grab some food, listen to live music, relax, and let the kids have some fun. Definitely worth checking out! The only reason I'm giving a four star is because I wish they were better with their advertising. We went on a Monday holiday which their hours say 3-9 but they opened at noon. If they had advertised hours and the fact certain trucks weren't going to be open- we would have planned accordingly.
