seafood right on the water. this is probably why you came here, right? tiny waterside bar hidden in a corner of this place is where you can hang until the table is ready. you'll probably meet someone since space is tight and people tend to be friendly.

Don't Miss
Our favorite city in New Hampshire. Beautiful, vibrant, friendly, cultural....a true New England gem. Wander down to the waterfront bars and restaurants and watch the boats come and go (just ask a local if you can't find them, they are hidden off Bow Street) peruse the local independent shops, grab a delicious lunch or homemade breakfast pastry at Ceres Street Bakery, or learn about the history of the area at Strawberry Bank. Picnic or catch a show at Prescott Park on the waterfront. All walkable from where you are staying.
