“What a treat to find a spot that does ALL of it right. I hope other restaurants will follow! Dining out should be an experience and one that includes more than excellent food. Bar25 nailed it! Fun and well made cocktails, chef driven creative tapas, cool vibe & outstanding service, including a follow up email from the management the next day!“

“Look this is an old school bar with fair prices and probably the only true bar left in town. It's not fancy but it's a lot fancier than it used to be. The food was alway ok but this new guy knows how to select and fry a piece of fish you will be hard pressed to find a better piece of fried fish in town. Sorry I lready had a bite“

“Freshest fish i’ve ever had on the island!“

“We have been here before but only for a cocktail and snack. This was our first dinner.

I’m super happy to have a new place to add to the rotation. Our meals were delicious. I opted for the Steak Frites and he got the Pork Saltimbocca, our son (5) had the chicken quesadilla. We were all really happy with our choices. The steak was cooked perfect (I get medium) it was a nice pink and the flavor packed in each bite was so good. My husband couldn’t stop praising the pork and even said “it’s the best I think I have ever had”…of course I didn’t take offense. My son and I also loved the fries served with our meals, they are like steak fries but way better.

For drinks my husband got his usual martini (and he loves places that make it right…no vermouth!) and I had a black and tan (but with the Cider Donut cider beer from Boston’s own Downeast Cider)…nicknamed the Snakebite or Black Velvet.

The location off Bay Road was adjacent to the train station, so this will be a great meet-up location on my late voyages home when we are too tired to cook. It’s got a great bar (which we visited in the past) and was comfortable with the glow of a cool fireplace in the dining room.

We parked on the side street but there seems to be ample parking all around.

This dinner definitely did not disappoint, and we will be back!

Kid-friendliness: Booster seats and kids menu available.“

“Love this place. Although my burger was well done and I asked for medium rare, but no restaurant ever gets it right. It is a little pricey but expected these days. Service was great. Food was excellent. Will return.“

“Excellent food with tons of choices. The managers and staff are personable and overall very helpful. I love bringing my kids in for food and live music (they love the rolls). Chowder is fantastic my favorite starter. You can’t beat the views and the atmosphere overall.“

“I was just there tonight which is Boxing Day 2022. I am giving black cow a a 3 because I was shocked at the prices. We had 1 sushi roll,1 shrimp app and 3 drinks ..90 bucks. (Don’t forget a Jim bean rocks with 1 good cherry 14 dollars) and about 1 1/2 fingers of amaretto straight)for 11 dollars) You’re better off spending your money somewhere else.. honestly. I’m a chef and understand rising costs however this is crazy however the service was pretty solid.“

“The waitstaff are SO accommodating! The bar staff beyond efficient. There was LIVe music, a local professional who made every song come to life and provided such an inclusionary atmosphere for the audience! A GRAND time!“

“A must visit for those that need to eat gluten free. Gluten free items are clearly marked on the menu. Large selection of gf options, which is greatly appreciated. They take gluten free very seriously and I felt safe eating here. I got the fish and chips with tartar sauce. The breading was top tier. Very crispy and hearty, great flavor. And the portion was very generous. I very impressed with how much food came in my meal. It is a pricier restaurant but the quality and the portion more than make up for the higher price tag. My family doesn't have any food restrictions, and they loved their meals too. Everybody was super happy with our visit. Highly recommend!“

“Great place to relax and have a ice cold beer, plenty of beer taps to choose from, mixed drinks are excellent, huge food menu, daily specials everyday, live music on Fridays, awesome wait staff and bar tenders.“

“Food is really good, staff are nice but not attentive, you have to search for them because once they give you your food they disappear, so I gave service three stars.The bathrooms and dining area are really clean !The bar area is really relaxed and bartender is friendly.
