27 Best Bars near Whitman

“I tried the Venus Cafe for the first time today for takeout. I ordered a green pepper onion and mushroom pizza. I got there early and got it as soon as he popped it into the box, so there was no time for it to steam in the box. I usually have my dog with me, so that's why I get take-out a lot. A little bit of flop at the beginning due to it being piping hot and loaded with toppings. Tasted great, and the price was good. This place is one of the goats of this style of pizza, ssbp. The only complaint is that they use sliced toppings, not chopped. And that's just a personal preference due to years of thinking I took a clean bite of pizza, and then a chunk of blistering topping comes with it and tags me on the chin. Lol. I went to the takeout side and dealt directly with the cook, and he was very nice. I have no clue about the bar area, but friendly kitchen staff speaks volumes for a place. I'm slowly trying all the places that do this style of pizza in the area, and this one did not disappoint.“

“My fiancé and I moved to Weymouth a few months ago and one of the first places we went to eat was Johnny Kono's. At first, we were thrown off by how few tables there were, but once we settled in and the food started coming, it has become one of our favorite places to eat. The El Chapo wings are some of the best we've ever had, great spice and flavor with a some acidity to tie it all together. The burgers are incredible, even the Louis lunch burger, which although very simple, always is delicious. They really live up to their claim of being a "Five Star Dive Bar." We're excited to keep coming back and trying more menu items.“

“You can never go wrong at any Burton's! We celebrated a milestone birthday the night we went and our meals (filet and haddock topped with crab) were simply the best! Gary, our server, was just the right mix of friendly and timely! What a great time - can't wait to return. Thanks again!“

“We sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable on gluten allergies. The food was very good. The Italian chicken wings were amazing. We also got a surf and turf special, and lamb chops. My steak was cooked perfectly. The homemade desserts are so good. We will definitely be back soon.“

“Food, drinks, service good!!!!Damn Christmas music, too much.All patrons complaining and they still won’t change it… been going on for days!!!!Still way to early for that in a Tavern!!!And Lindsay is a great bartender..If u have her, tell her David sent you!“

“My family and I went to the Riv last night to celebrate my late father’s birthday. We ended up having a much larger group than anticipated and our server Heather handled it like a complete professional. She went above and beyond in every way and made for a very special night. Thank you so much to Heather and the entire staff.“

“Love the pho noodle bowls here. Takeout from this location is also excellent. The broth, noodles, veggie and meat are all packaged separately to be easily combined once home. It makes for the perfect meal on a cold winter night, which I love! Service is always very friendly and prompt. The spring rolls are also excellent, as well as the alcohol mixed drinks. Love that this location has a full bar and excellent mai tais.“

“Our group had our own room and we were early the bartender was extremely cheerful and attentive. John Brown handled our buffet which was wonderful chicken Parm, noodles and red sauce,Lasagna and sausage and peppers along with rolls and antipsto salad and all the condiments. John was attentive to our beverage and all our other needs and provided us with food take home containers. This is a great place for a family gathering and Blanchard Funeral Home had recommended and we highly recommend both of them also!“

“I don’t post a lot of reviews but I’m sitting here eating my dinner I just picked up for takeout and it’s deserved. I haven’t had a bad meal and I’m absolutely loving the specials! Also have been there for two private functions recently and the quality was top notch. They’ve done an amazing job with everything since the reopening“

“Food is amazing seriously Chef shawn Bumpus is a fantastic cook the food is always perfect, we dealt with him directly when we got our takeout tonight the place was busy and he was so calm and kind and willing to help. Please go visit and enjoy his food I personally recommend the honey sriracha steak wrap 10/10“

“Fabulous Brunch. Excellent clam chowder to start. Gluten free rolls available. Had Scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, and cheddar biscuit. Husband with Celiac had Halibut with tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Outstanding service from Brian and other staff. Very busy with large groups but we still had attentive service. Will be back. Yummy Bloody Mary.“

“My kids love coming here. There's a good variety of arcade games - many are fun, some give out a good amount of tickets. The claw machines are a little stingy so we pass on those. You've got to win a lot of tickets for the prizes, they're a bit over priced in that way so we mainly just come for fun and walk away with a piece of candy or small toy. The food is decent, but the service could use some help. Overall we enjoy it every now and again. The arcade is half-off on Wednesdays!“

“Small tavern style restaurant/bar. Servers were very friendly, quick and attentive. A little disappointed in the foods but the service made up for it. Plenty of tvs throughout. I would say it is probably a nice little place to go for some drinks and watch your favorite sports.“

“We had never been here before, but I am so glad we gave it a try! The service was quick, super friendly, and went above and beyond. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the seafood platter and it wasn’t the slightest bit greasy, also came with a TON of food! We will definitely be coming back.“

“Second visit to this restaurant on my business trips to Boston. You can't go wrong with this place. The atmosphere is relaxed, but elegant. Each dish I have had has been phenomenal with even more phenomenal service. Price's are fair but are what some would consider high. If you're in the area, would highly recommend. Ask for Brian J as your server. He's been my server both times and is so professional, personal, and offers wonderful suggestions!“

“Really loved this establishment. The service was outstanding. One of my recommendations is the Steak and Cheese Egg Roll Appetizer. The quantity of food was perfect. I would definitely recommend this establishment because I will be going back.“

“Food and service was great! We ordered our own version of "family style dining", 2 of the cheese burger pizzas, steak and cheese egg rolls, and buffalo chicken rangoons. All super good!! Drinks were good too! ? Kind of a sports style bar that you can also do down and dine in.“

“Nice neighborhood place along 53 in Hanover. Visited on a busy Saturday night. Stuck mostly to drinks and appetizers. Calamari and chicken tenders were better than expected. Buffalo chicken flatbread good as well. Definitely worth checking out.“

“I just ordered the best ribs I’ve ever had. They melted in your mouth and marinade was amazing. I have had barbecue down south : GA; TN; AZ… absolutely none even hold a candle to this. If you don’t believe me… please try it out… and btw Tracy Denise and Sharon are awesome too!“

“I haven’t been there in over 20 years. Stopped in for lunch. Had the best Clam Chowder ever. The fish Tacos were awesome! The onion rings were freshly made and delicious. I love critiquing food, but I don’t have enough space to explain how my I enjoyed my lunch there. My wife had just the onion soup. She said that it was delicious! You can bet I’ll be going back real soon. Ps. Also very clean and Joe the bartender..very friendly Alan Menz“

“This is our Friday spot! We love the staff, the food and the atmosphere. We watch all our favorite sports on the TVs and play a few board games while waiting for our food. We love the food. They always have new specials. They have my favorite cut of fries! Always a hit here.Kid-friendliness: We go earlier in the night and love bringing our 5 year old. We come every Friday. We play the board games and golf arcade game.“

“Family owned local businesses that puts many Italian restaurants to shame from the moment you walk in. Fresh pasta and superb choices of seafood, chicken and beef . Great atmosphere and a nice wine selection- save room for desert. I've eaten here often while on business and this trip brought my wife; she did not to leave. Get there early - this is a local gem !“

“Neat little bar. They have a limited bar menu but they also had a "specials board". It's one of those nice community joints where everybody is nice.Also, at the bar next door, a patron stated that Lynch's has a steak dinner special on Monday nights. Since I am not there at the time of this post, I can not corroborate; call ahead. Special is supposed to include steak (different cuts vary) , spuds, veg .........and one adult beverage for under $13. Again, don't hold me to this special info, it's 2nd hand info.Visit, enjoy.“

“My wife & I had dinner tonight, she had baked haddock, and I had the baked scallops. Both were exceptional! Best scallop dinner ever! I have a culinary background and I am not sure what they add to make their scallops & breadcrumbs so succulent, but I recommend this dish! Great service and prices!“

“Went to JST on 3/30/24 with large party. Server, Antoinette, who we learned has been there 20+ years, greeted us with a smile that lasted through her entire attentive service to our experience. With a new owner, the newly done decor would make TLC’s “Restaurant Impossible“ proud.The bar was full, but separated from the dining area, so that ambiance was alive but not overwhelming.Everyone at our table complimented the food presentation, flavor, and amount on their plates (Yes, doggy bags were requested at meals’ end.),The 2 plates of Calamari were golden in color and cooked just right. The accompanying tomato sauce was thick and hearty (“Just like Momma makes.”). We did sample each other’s plates (From their presentations, how could we not?). The meatballs were flavorful with the right hint of sausage. Spaghetti cooked to our discerning Italian Uncle’s complete approval. Salmon was generous and baked just right showing visual succulence, steaks tips were many and juicy. And the sausage cacciatore was so flavorfu, consumption only ended when the doggy bags arrived.We sampled and really enjoyed almost all of the decadent desserts including Crème Brûlée, Tiramisu, and Chocolate Lava Cake.Anthony, the manager, checked in with us more than once. He was affable without the overbearing of Artie from The Sopranos.We’ll definitely be back next week. The pricing was more than fair, and we can’t wait to try their breakfasts.Definitely recommend you go. You’ll be more than satisfied and happy and probably leave wondering “Why can’t they be open on Mondays?”“

“I really enjoy Middle Ground. The bartender that served us couldn’t be stumped by our drink requests. Friendly and accommodating. The food is very good. Been here 3 times so far and haven’t had a bad meal. The atmosphere is comfortable. Definitely going back. And soon..“

“When I went there, it was my 2nd day in the US ever. This place did not disappoint. Very authentic, very American, I loved it. All the screens showing different sports, the pale ale beer is extremely tasty, and the food was also very good.The staff was also friendly and attentive.“
