The Oar is a legendary spot that offers delicious mudslides and incredible views, making it a must-visit destination on Block Island. The restaurant accommodates large parties with fabulous food, particularly the sushi, and features a unique atmosphere with decorated oars that add to its charm. Located in New Harbor, The Oar has a rich history, evolving from a casual spot for boaters in the 1960s to a popular destination today. The area is steeped in maritime history, with New Harbor being one of the island's busiest ports.
With seating options both indoors and outdoors, including a deck overlooking the water, The Oar provides stunning views of the harbor, enhancing the relaxed vibe that attracts both locals and visitors. Guests enjoy the laid-back island lifestyle, whether they are there for a casual drink or a full meal. While some mention the prices as a downside, the overall experience and unique ambiance make it worth a visit. The Candy Cane Roll and Tuna Nachos are highlights, and the Jameson cold brew floater adds a fun touch to the menu. This is definitely a great family-friendly spot that offers an unforgettable Block Island experience.
