Tonight was St Patty's day. Obviously people are out drinking. And I don't want to bad mouth Obi too hard, but he was looking for someone to kick out. Even had the audacity to charge at me a second time, when I was outside the bar talking to friends, to continue his power trip. I'm "not allowed back", but after tonight's experience, I wouldnt recommend this bar to my worst enemy. The last thing anyone needs is a bouncer trying to come at you after you've already left. Totally unnecessary and I hope the Whale figures this out. Great establishment, great staff, but a bouncer should never charge at a guest trying to fight them, especially when the guest is on their way to their car. Please get your staff in order.

No frills but great food that is hard to beat. Service was on point at atmosphere of an old English pub. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

It's a bar, no theme or pretension, a bit dive-y, kind gentleman behind the bar, place smells like years of spilled beer and a hint of mop water. I didn't try the food but I bet it's perfect. I'll pop by this bar anytime I'm in town

Stephanie was the most hospitable bartender I had the pleasure of meeting during my travels along the east coast. Thank you for the advice!-From the 406, Alex with the U-Haul

We loved the food here for dinner so much we came back the next day for lunch. Lobster roll is good, but the blackened haddock sandwich and clam chowder is the best I ever had.

This place is actually pretty cool. Vintage style, good service and accommodation is excellent. To the person who wrote nasty reviews, were you too drunk on the right location? Stephanie is excellent at keeping her business great.
