A rotating list of Prohibition-era pours, changed every month and shared only with those who know the secret phrase. Don't be left out in the cold... grab the phrase and come have a drink.

THE SECRET MENU

Thirsty Sailors · Ferry Scragglers · Deckhands · Wharf Rats · Dock Walkers · Landlubbers · Stowaways · First Mates · Greenhorns · Castaways · Regulars · Night Owls · First-Timers

For good food, cold drinks, live music, and staying well past last call.

the joint gets loud sometimes

Between the band and whoever's telling stories at the next table over, silence isn't really on the menu here. Check the schedule, grab a seat, and plan on staying past the set you came for.

Music is part of the deal here.

We were visiting Yarmouth for the night from Halifax and felt incredibly welcome and made to feel at home by the servers and musicians alike, the thursday night jam was a true kitchen party, and the happy hour is a great deal. Will definitely be coming back!
