The Inn was built in 1799, and is the oldest seaside inn in the nation, still operating as an inn, in its original structure.
Over the years, The Inn has been a blacksmith shop, a general store, two separate dwellings, a tavern, a ship chandlers, a storehouse for the China tea trade, a speakeasy and, of course, an inn.
As the oldest operating seaside inn in the U.S., we hope to take full advantage of the property’s heritage and strive to support both the local and out-of-town patrons in need of food, beverage, and/or lodging.
The Inn will offer a social gathering place for patrons seeking traditional seaside New England fare with a fusion flare, mainstream beer selections as well as quality microbrews, wine, and craft-cocktails in a casual and welcoming atmosphere. On some nights, to further enhance the casual and comfort air of the barroom, the menu and beverages may be enjoyed while listening to the light entertainment offered.
