Fresh Salt

Probably the closest thing the seaport has to a Williamsburg vibe, this cozy, nautical-themed spot fosters a robust bar scene. Locals have made it a headquarters, downing suds and fancy cocktails in equal proportions. The raised seating area has rough-hewn pews and comfy booths where you can pick at bar snacks (salads, sandwiches) and get a bird’s-eye view of the evening’s shenanigans.
