The Barking Crab, a bright and fun lobster shack sitting on the Seaport waterfront almost touching the financial district, is a great laid back place to grab a quick lobster roll, cod dinner, or cup of shrimp bisque. You can also head to the Barking Crab to rock out post 5 pm during the work week during the summer and sway to the tunes of a funky and rollicking reggae band. Casual and cool, the Barking Crab rarely lets you down. Boaters are welcome to tie up free of charge while dining.
There's a beautiful walkway that runs under the Evelyn Moakley Bridge next to the Barking Crab and leading to the Boston Children's Museum. Quiet with seating so that you can enjoy a romantic walk and take in the wonderful view.
Doug Lemie of the Barking Crab is on the Friends of Fort Point Channel Board of Directors and is actively involved in the support, planning and promotion of the historic Fort Point district and its neighborhoods.

They've got the cold beers and fresh seafood to make a summer's eve pop here. My bro's band plays every Friday in the summer, so I've been a ton of times, and always had a blast. I love their unique method of cracking shellfish - the provide you with rocks and paper plates to smash open your lobster as opposed to the more civilized crackers. The food is just ok, but they have a great variety of crabs on hand, which is a plus. It's pretty overpriced, too, but I gather they can do that as there are so few open air places to nosh and drink in town.

You definitely come here for the atmosphere. For fish, I'd rather go to the No Name Restaurant, but if I want to swing with a summer crowd, this is more the place to be.

The Barking Crab is one of the most popular places to go for after work drinks during the warmer months. With a live band playing on the porch several days of the week, and great summer beer on tap, the Barking Crab becomes one of my favorite destinations.
