The aquatic theme is apparent as soon as you step inside: There’s a gigantic fish tank behind the bar and a mermaid mural on the back wall. The undersea vibe continues in the spacious enclosed backyard, with its large koi pond. Take a seat at a wooden bench and sip one of the 20 beers on tap, such as Smuttynose Summer Weizen ($6). To soak up the suds, try the clam roll ($12), packed with fried Ipswich bivalves and homemade tartar sauce; if you prefer your eats from dry land, the burger ($6) is simple and satisfying.
Bar food is no longer limited to stale pretzels and limp burgers—there are plenty of great snacks to be found at bars around the city. Here, find five of our favorite outdoor bars with delicious eats, such as the clam roll at Sea Witch—a delicious summer seafood staple—or Bier International’s German sausages.
