Go for a beer (or four!!)and a tour of this rustic brewery. Get yourself a 3 oz beer for $2 each! I also personally love how they have a food truck to supplement the drinks.

Highly suggest taking a ferry to one of the islands, or to just ride the boat for sightseeing purposes!! I suggest taking doing it during sunset to capture the fantastic views. Roundtrip to Peak’s Island can be as low as $4, and you don’t have to get off the boat!

Delicious lobster rolls!!! It’s also right in the Old Port, so it’s in the middle of everything.

Try the Lobster Scampi— by far my favorite pasta!!! It’s also by the harbor, so it’s in a great spot.

Definitely try to get the Waffle Plate. I would suggest avoiding coming here on a weekend as the wait tends to be one hour or longer.

Not a speakeasy but it sure feels like it. With brick walls and dimmed lighting, it almost feels underground. Great place to stop by for dessert after a night out or a dinner. It also helps that they’re open until 1 AM.

Another excellent dessert place if you’re looking for traditional Hispanic desserts! Their churros are divine.
