About Toomey's Tavern

Toomey's Tavern offers decent bar food, including baked clams, and benefits from a great location on the pier with water views. Customers can enjoy good views from various spots around the restaurant. The place is popular among locals, and staff often know customers by name, creating a friendly atmosphere. The main seating area features outdoor tables along with a small covered dock section, as well as an inside bar and dining area. The vibe is fun and lively, especially on weekends, making it a good spot to grab a drink and some appetizers.

However, service can be inconsistent and slow. Drinks (beers) are sometimes flat, and staff may not notice this or other issues, such as receiving the wrong dish. Food is mostly good; for example, clams oreganatta and fries are well-liked, but the "famous" fish sandwich is considered embarrassing by some, described as four fish sticks on a bun with tartar sauce, and not recommended. The staff often seem overwhelmed, especially when busy, leading to long wait times and a lack of attention to customers. The bill can be hard to read and understand, reflecting a chaotic experience. Despite these issues, many visitors enjoy the lively environment, music, and reasonable prices.
