Honestly, it's a 5-star dive bar…read more You can't come here looking for some high class ambiance. You're not getting special cutlery or some crazy top shelf wine. What you are going to get is some pretty tasty simple food, decently good drafts and mix drinks coupled with a whole ton of retro vibes. Our server was quick, friendly, and helpful. The menu is plastic and a few pages of deliciousness. We had smoky pepper wings and a spicy pizza. No complaints for both. Crispy thin crust and crunchy nicely flavored wings. The games though are not the typical ones you'd find at a Dave & Busters. Instead, you'll find Mario, skeeball, teenage mutant ninja turtles, mortal combat, and all the other nostalgia fun you loved as a 70's/80's kid. Each inch of every wall is decorated with some sort of movie or tv reference, and it's just fun. So if you're bored of the typical bar scene, give this place a try. Get your cup of coins ready, and challenge some friends to some good competition.

Such a fun spot right in the heart of downtown New Bedford! I have been a DIY paint venue fanatic…read morefor probably ten years. I booked a day with my niece for the Hocus Pocus painting as a way to spend time together. The venue is right near some fantastic restaurants and parking is easy to find. We arrived and got checked in. Some late comers caused a late start, but we didn't have any timeframe to abide by. The host of the paint day, Bridget, put on Hocus Pocus to have in the background while we painted! She was very organized and gave very clear instructions. We had a great time and I think this is one of my favorite painting venues. It is BYOB for those who are of age, and just remember that anything you bring in must be consumed by the end of the paint event. If you love painting events like I do, or you've never tried one before like my niece, I highly recommend Painting at Splash in New Bedford!

I give this museum five stars, but I must first caution you based on my own experience. There are…read morethings you should know before going. Things I wish I had known myself. Truly, my first visit was great. It's deceptively large, and I knew I'd need to go back a second day to see the rest. It was really cool to learn the history of the industry and how it led to the cultural and creative makeup of the city of New Bedford today. I even started talking to some of my friends about it, and they started calling me the "whaling girl" . It gave whimsy. It was cute. Cute at first. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it, even when I tried, even when I wanted to. Something about the ways the museum weaved culture and time with history and science... it kept me up at night thinking. What can be measured that is unseen? What has value and who gets to decide that? The more I thought, the more I started seeing our world in an entirely new way. It was a revelation. My friends and family grew worried, as it became all that I could talk about. Over family holiday dinners. At kid's birthday parties. Even my most recent performance review, I brought it up. As you might've guessed, the review didn't go so well. I went on a journey to make sense of what was happening to me. I landed at the Seaport Museum in Mystic, CT. There, I met fellow whaling enthusiasts and a member of the prestigious Melville Society. I was relieved to see other people equally obsessed with whaling. They assured me that my feelings were normal, and encouraged me to volunteer there, as an outlet. I returned to New Bedford and did just that, and it is where I remain today! So if you go to visit, is there the risk of developing an addiction? Undoubtedly. But I think it is nevertheless worth it. Just be sure you go at your own pace and volunteer if you find yourself loosing interest in other hobbies that used to interest you. Trust, you'll have a whale of a time. Also, gift store is dope. Be sure to merch up See you at the museum!

The docent that day, Louise gave us a lovely tour of the downstairs and we got to tour the upstairs by ourselves with some very thorough pamphlets. The mansion is very well preserved. It was a rich person's home and they valued it! There were rounded walls, insane built ins, an elevator, some wonderful art. The information presented by the museum is very thoughtful and informative. It is all done very well. My favorite thing though was the bathrooms. I loved them. I find myself daydreaming. About showering in the black and white bathroom. Which is not an experience that is available to anyone... But I wish it were There is also a gorgeous rose garden on the property. Very enjoyable. We were there for about two hours but I could have stayed a bit longer. You might have to park a short distance and walk to the house but it is all worth it
