I completely forgot that we went to Cultivator Shoals until after I got home from my trip and was…read moregoing through all of my receipts. We stopped here late night after many rounds and not enough "real" food at Play arcade. Reviewing the receipt jogged my memory. Getting old(er) is no joke! The interior is very cool! It has a great vibe! The staff is friendly, and we were seated right away. We skipped drinks and went right to the food. We had fries, tuna nachos and deviled eggs. All of the food was reasonably priced and it really hit the spot. This was a quick visit that was absolutely worthwhile! If I'm back in New Bedford, I will definitely return here to explore the menu a little further.

Solid bar-style pizza (good grub overall), a killer beer selection, and a staff that's not just…read morefriendly--they make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The whole place has that genuine hometown vibe that's getting harder to find, plus consistently great live music (Sundays especially). It's on the smaller side, but they somehow pack the place without sacrificing service, which says a lot. When the weather warms up, they open up a large alley next to the pub for live music--and that's where this place really shines. On a crisp fall day? Forget about it... that's exactly where I want to be. Good food, good people, good music--what more do you need? Enjoy the good times ahead.

Great beer selection on tap from ipas to ciders to whatever mixed drink you are looking for. We were taken care of right away by the bartender and later on another. The mozz sticks were great, nice cheese pull, the Reuben was the clear winner, not too salty at all, good flavor. The brisket was a little dry for the cheesesteak, and the burger was undercooked (asked for medium well got more of a medium rare), the bun also didn't hold up that great, but the fries were excellent good salt levels crisp and crunch. Would definitely come back for a Bev and a bite!

The food and drinks are pretty standard bar fare at typical prices. The staff and customer service really stand out they're great .

I absolutely love the location of this place. New Bedford is my hometown, but I moved out right…read moreout of high school so when I come to visit I always like sticking to places along the water, in this location, checks that box perfectly. I've only been here a handful of times, and the food is always good. Sadly, I haven't always been great about taking photos. One thing that has been disappointing is the fact that, if it has kids, it wouldn't let them to put something like fish and chips on it. No. Paying homage to the seafaring town that the restaurant resides in, and the fact that the restaurant does host a massive amount of seafood for the adults, offering some smaller portion for the kiddos would be nice. The only way around it was ordering shrimp at $4 each and sharing some of our sides in order to make an entrée for our son. I know this is a minor gripe but it's kind of unfortunate for a place like Cisco. It won't stop us from coming. It's just now we know how to make it work. (And maybe now other people reading this will also know.) Can't wait to try the outdoor seating when the weather is nicer it does look pretty awesome. For some reason, we always gone when it's too cold to enjoy.

They refused service to us because they "already started putting stuff away". It's very upsetting because we had our engagement party there and we have loved cork for many years.

Great Bar Came in…read moreafter hearing friends talking about the bloody Mary's while out to breakfast. We were greeted by a smile from the bartender Rita . The people sitting around were friendly and the set up is a good one. Horseshoe shaped bar with 15 seats the place is much nicer than what it looks like from the outside and much bigger than I thought . Great little spot has small bar menu and specials. Jukebox, booths to sit in and a pool table. Oh and keno. We started with the famous Bloody Mary. I couldn't believe what I saw when it was finished. Also made some nice breakfast shots and mimosas. Had a great time and will be back they have phone plugs under and hooks under the bar too that is an added plus Thanks
