Barking Crab

Located on the edge of Boston's historic Fort Point Channel, The Barking Crab has become one of the city's best-loved meeting and eating spots. 2006 marks their twelfth year of operation. Opened in May of 1994 as an outdoor summer restaurant, they were known for the first three years as Venus — Seafood in the Rough. After a successful second season, the restaurant expanded into the adjoining Neptune Lobster and Seafood Market, adding a wood-burning stove and becoming a year-round operation. Not the typical Boston seafood restaurant, The Barking Crab offers the casual atmosphere of a coastal clam shack in a funky urban setting, with a marina alongside for easy access by water, and all the rich resources of Boston only a short walk away. Their great menu concentrates on fresh seafood but there's also plenty to delight all appetites, including the vegetarian. The wait and bar staff are cool, friendly and knowledgeable. And they can accommodate you whether you're dining alone or arriving with two dozen of your closest friends. Come join the fun!
