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.

Recent reviews highlight that Toomey's is a great place for a quick bite and easy to bring kids. The outdoor area can be noisy when a band is playing, requiring some yelling to be heard, but the music is good. Many visitors mention having a good time with good bands and good food. When crowded, staff like Casey go out of their way to help find seating and make sure guests have a good experience, which can make the night even better.

The restaurant also recently added a new outdoor bar with 16 barstools, replacing the boat. Parking can be easier on weekdays, and the place usually has a great band playing. Despite some issues with service being inconsistent and slow, many enjoy the lively environment, music, and reasonable prices. 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. Overall, Toomey's remains a popular spot for casual dining, drinks, and entertainment.
