Barking Crab is very chill. The Barking Crab is a great place for after work drinks or a day out walk ing around Boston. Located right on the harbor. This place is perfect for cold beers, clams, shrimp, and fish. Very chill. You will feel like you are sitting at a beach side bar at the Barking Crab.

Love it The picnic tables are fun. Or office often visits this place when we are in town. We love the seafood and slaw. Their beer is cold and service is friendly. The views are terrific.

Good Seafood in a Relaxed Atmosphere This is a great place to grab a bite if you're in the mood for seafood. I had a fish sandwich that was great. The atmosphere is very chill. It's perfect for the summer since the fish is fresh and the beer is cold.

A picnic on the water The Barking Crab is located just over the bridge on the way to the World Trade Center and the Fleet Pavilion. Its worth the stop in even on a rainy day. The restaurant features a large covered deck with picnic benches that are perfect for large groups. The food is fantastic, if not a bit over priced. But where else can you get a bucket of crab legs in lobster country? They have live entertainment and a fun staff who is attentive. Great for watching the sun go down then heading to a show.

Came from New Jersey to visit Boston for my honey moon. Not only was the service top notch and beyond welcoming but the food was so good I actually ate most of the menu (at least the whole appetizer section). I can’t wait to come back to this city just for Barking Crab!

Thank you for sharing this.❤️
