“Fine Spirits and Lighter Fare!”

Eat hearty and enjoy the charming pub atmosphere. We are known for our lobster rolls, famous fish sandwiches, homemade chowders, seafood, burgers and more. The portions are great and the prices even better. At the Whale, you’ll never go thirsty—the bar is fully stocked and there are fourteen draught lines featuring local and regional craft beers. Families are welcome, we have live bands every Friday and Saturday night with no cover charge, and there is an outdoor beer garden where smoking is permitted. ADA compliant. Open 11am–1am year round. Serving lunch and dinner daily. Our restaurant is now certified by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection as an Environmental Leader. We have also added a solar hot water system in our continued commitment to preserving the environment
