Order a NBPT beer on draft . The Grog pours all 3 brews, which is unheard of elsewhere exposure-wise for this new keg and can brewery , launched circa May 2013. Try the Plum Island Belgian White first.

Ryan Daniels

Great New England pub atmosphere with 30+ beers on tap ! The grog burger is a great go to; fried oyster BLT for the adventurous. Try to get a seat near the fireplace .

Kim

Amazing gluten free menu ! Get their boneless buffalo chicken and a small basket of truffle fries . And if you can eat gluten, don't leave without eating their fish and chips !

Scott Boyages

Nice pub atmosphere, 30+beers including some local brews and food really good. Staff is great too. If you're into pub food and beer definitely check it out.

Karolina Sadova

Great kids menu for those who tries to challenge their kids to eat smth except mac&cheese and French fries&nuggets

The lobster bisque is awesome. The rest of the food was good, but not anything I'd do backflips for. Will be back just for the bisque!

Lobster roll is 3-4 bites, and $19. Not worth it.
