Grab your Keno sheets and settle in with a libation to pass some time. This isn't quite the place you'd expect to be served a mound of lobster in a foot long toasted roll. Crispy, tender and delicious, go ahead and treat yourself. The fried haddock sandwich came with a thick and oversized fillet, which couldn't be contained by the bulkie roll it sat atop of. Service is so so, but the food should meet your high expectations.

Seriously, I had a massive motorcycle accident years ago, and didn't know Leo at the time, but he reached out and brought me lunch once a week for 8 weeks, while I was stuck in bed with out the ability to move. Never knew the guy before that day, and I have been a HUGE fan ever since. Quit eating red meat a while back but before that The Barn was my goto for burgers. Only the best meat and great size. His staff is super friendly, and the bar tenders know how to poor a drink for sure. Some of the best Long Island Ice Teas around. Keep doing what your doing Leo and staff. This city loves you guys.

If you Google define a neighborhood dive bar, you will see a picture of the Thirsty Whale…read more This is the kind of place where locals and visitors mingle freely. On a dank spring (typical) early New England spring afternoon, we wandered in for a pre-dinner cocktail. The drinks are solid and reasonably priced. They do have a few high-end spirits and a few surprise special cocktails. There is also a good selection of local beers. We stopped by for a nightcap and were surprised that on a Wednesday night, they were packed and rocking to a live band. If you appreciate a good dive bar with personality, strong drinks, and a local crowd, this place is worth checking out.

The Thirsty Whale was one of my "dive" haunts when I lived in the area so I was curious to see if…read moreit was still a great neighborhood bar. Spoiler alert it is! We arrived on a cold damp afternoon and quickly joined a few regulars at the bar. Conversations were started and the cocktails flowed. They do have some great local craft beers and a full bar with a few high end liquors like Eagle Rare and Grey Goose. My desert dry Goose martini with a twist was perfect. Plus 1 said her Paloma was perfect as well. We could have spent the entire afternoon here hangin with the regulars and getting toasty but alas we had dinner reservations. We did stop by after dinner for a nightcap and the Whale was rocking to a live band and they were packed on a Wednesday night no less. Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" song could have easily been written for the Whale!

The bartender/waitress (Erin) was excellent and she thought of everything. It's a traditional pub with sports memorabilia and TVs.

A group of us met up here on a weeknight for drinks & to play Music Bingo. I was early & decided…read moreto go in by myself & get a table (s). Entering I was greeted by the friendly owner who was also tending the bar. From what I saw upon entering the bar is very clean and neat. It may be because now is considered off-season, it was busy but low key & people who were there were obviously enjoying it. I decided on a table & within minutes my friends showed up. The bar does not serve food. So I stopped and got 2 pizzas for us all to share. We ordered drinks & walked up to the bar to pay. We were prepared knowing beforehand that they only take cash...so no issues with that. I did not order an alcoholic beverage... Others did & liked them very much. It seems like they are priced . moderately. My drink was a diet coke in a tall glass.. just right. So it became time to play and the nice DJ came over to explain the game and pass out cards and markers. One of my group won the first round! They brought her over a bag loaded with swag .. I don't know about you, but winning is exciting & gives an adrenaline pump - usually no matter what the prize is. So on came the 2nd round & a winner from the other side of the venue. The next and last round ended up being a coverall! We thought .. no one will win this one. She played 50 song bits & no one was winning. So she cheered us on and asked if we wanted 5 more. Otherwise without a winner the pot grows. So we said yes! And low & behold... I ended up winning! I won __ in cash!!! It was decided between us that we will definitely return : - )

The place is quaint and clean. Everyone was awesome, welcoming and fun and pleasant and made us feel like locals. The karaoke crowd was great and the bartender was awesome. The owner was there and attentive to helping out behind the bars whenever needed. Would go back here in a second when back in the area.

If you're looking for a dive bar vibe and live music, this is your place. I said live music, I…read moredidn't say it would be GOOD live music. It's a mixed bag, but that's what makes it fun! Sometimes the bands are exceptional, sometimes not. They do offer food, bar bites and such. It's mostly just a watering hole where you can get your fade on. They also have an old piano to the left of the entrance door that you can play. I always bring visitors to my city to the Stone Church, it's a must if you're in Newmarket and you're off the wagon. They used to be known to have very good chicken fingers, but I always seem to go and there aren't any for some reason. They have eluded me for years, maybe they've been removed from the menu.

The flavors on the other hand were a bit bland, and I needed to add lemon Tabasco, cocktail and, tartar sauce, but par for the area as I imagine that's how the residence of the area prefer their seafood.

Cooked perfectly. And tasted great. Burger was perfect. Fries were excellent. Side order of shrimp also good. Friends were pleased with their choices as well.... Kid friendly atmosphere. Games available to play. And plenty of options on the menu for little ones. All reasonably priced. In fact I was surprised by the prices of everything on the menu. Great choice if you're in the area....
