When you’re in Ship Bottom and you want to sip on craft beer in a laid back environment while you enjoy fresh seasonal fare, you want to visit The Arlington. This hip local restaurant is the beach community’s answer to the gastropub, and people are already raving about the food and drink. The beer menu alone is worth taking a trip to The Arlington. With over 20 beers on tap, including unique offerings from boutique brewers like Maine Beer Company and Lost Abbey, you’ll never run out of new craft beers to try. Best of all, The Arlington offers growlers to-go for just $5, so you can take your favorite draft beers home with you. Usually, when you find a bar with an extensive beer menu there’s not much in the way of wine and spirits, but The Arlington is the exception to the rule. If their beer list doesn’t tempt you, check out their great wine selection and curated cocktail menu with vintage favorites like Pimms Cup and modern takes on old classics like their cheeky “New Fashioned.” The Arlington is definitely more gastropub than regular pub when it comes to food and drink. They offer a full menu for brunch and dinner, and it’s impressive. The food is seasonal and fresh with a focus on clean flavors and just a touch of fusion. Classic seafood dishes like clams and oysters on the half shell and crab cakes sing with simplicity and hit the spot after a day in the sun.
