This place is the quintessential "local" right off the beach place for happy hour. Go to the back area to order steamers, 1lb lobsters for 12$, snow crab clusters, lobster bisque, peel and eat shrimp and mini burgers. There's another area near the bar where you can order 25 cent clams and a variety of oysters on the half shell. Reggae and other local bands, great drink prices. Super casual. Around 3-5 the place is hopping.
