About Smugglers Waterfront Bar

Smugglers Waterfront Bar is a lively spot with a young crowd and a beach bar vibe. While some menu items may be unavailable, the food is adequate, with options like fish and chips, boom boom shrimp, and fish tacos being highlights. The bar has multiple screens with games on, though it’s not fully set up as a sports bar. Service can vary, but the staff work hard and are always very nice, with bartenders like Ethan being cool and attentive. Despite some drawbacks, like the lack of free tap water, the bar is a great place to enjoy games, darts, and pool while taking in the incredible harbor view from Adirondack chairs or along the rail. It’s a chill, local spot that’s not too touristy, perfect for a casual drink.
