Eat and drink around Hull

BeachFood Market has been a well known establishment in Hull since 1983, offering a variety of subs, salads, dinners, appetizers & pizzas.

Boathouse Bistro frames its seafood and cocktails with full frontal ocean light: sun glare at lunch, mellow reflections by evening. Families, casual date nights, and post-beach “we’re still in board shorts” groups all coexist easily.

California Underground is a mash-up of beach casual and live-music indie edge: dim enough to feel tucked away, loud enough when the set kicks in. It’s a reliable pivot when you’re “not done yet” after dinner.

Daddy’s Beach Club is part rock-and-roll time capsule, part living room for Hull’s night crowd. Sticky-perfect guitar riffs, locals debating surf conditions, and a cold draft while the door breathes in ocean salt; it’s the unofficial after-sunset extension of the beach across the street.

Dylan’s balances specialty pies with sturdy classics, plus calzones that locals swear reheat perfectly the next day, if they last that long. Family-run warmth shows in the small details: extra napkins, genuine thanks at pickup.

High Tide straddles chill daytime BBQ joint and evening upstairs hangout: smoke-kissed meats, a pool table, and screens with the Sox or Bruins depending on the season. Off-season it becomes a locals’ clubhouse when the shoreline is windswept and half the town’s hunkered down.

Jo’s Nautical has weathered storms, shifting fads, and countless late-night story swaps; its creaky floorboards and harbor-facing windows feel like an unofficial museum of Hull maritime lore. You go for a beer, you stay because someone starts telling you about a nor’easter from ’91.

L Street Pizza works in the classic Hull playbook: reliable pies, foldable slices, and subs that solve late night hunger diplomacy. Fresh dough and no fuss, that’s the draw.

Mambo’s layers Latin-inspired small plates, bright ceviche, spiced wings, plantain sides, with cocktails that lean citrus and fresh herbs. Date nights stretch longer here because sharing plates slows everyone down nicely.

Mezzo Mare brings Italian coastal comfort to Hull, with seafood linguine, hearty red-sauce staples, and pasta that feels Sunday-gathering authentic. It flexes equally well for a casual family meal or a low-key anniversary night.

Nantasket Seafood does exactly what you hope: golden fried clams, scallop rolls, and no pretense about “re-imagining” anything. It’s quick, salty-air comfort a block from where you probably parked anyway.

Sand Bar feels like a community rec room upgraded with drafts, trivia nights, and beach spillover energy. It’s where you realize you’ve unintentionally made Wednesday a social night again.

Schooner’s is a relaxed seafood and American comfort stop where you can still get a proper baked stuffed dish next to someone ordering a burger and a domestic. It’s unhurried, the kind of place multigenerational tables actually happen.

Shipwrecked pairs ferry-adjacent convenience with harbor deck views that can stall your afternoon plans. Cocktails lean bright and breezy while seafood plates keep one eye on classic New England, and one on vacation mode.

Hull’s own South Shore Taco Guy Taqueria leans into scratch-made masa, bright salsas, and slow-marinated fillings that taste like a seaside cookout met a Mexico City street stand. The catering arm still fuels parties around town, but the brick-and-mortar gives locals a dependable, sand-off-your-feet taco refuge year-round.

The Local 02045 threads craft cocktails through a menu of dressed-up pub comfort, think short rib grilled cheese and a rotating tap that regulars actually track. Events feel organic, like someone suggested “why not tonight?” and it stuck.

Perched across from Nantasket Beach, The Parrot channels a lively coastal supper-spot energy, mixing baked haddock, steak tips, and shareable apps with a bar that buzzes even on shoulder-season Tuesdays. It’s where beachgoers graduate after sunset from towels to tall booths without missing the ocean breeze.

Indulge in a breakfast classic like no other at Saltwater Diner in Hull. Egg Benedict creations feature perfectly poached eggs nestled on a toasted English muffin, topped with velvety hollandaise sauce and your choice of crispy bacon, or savory spinach.

Tipsy Tuna keeps the beach day rolling with tropical-leaning cocktails, seafood baskets, and a crowd that blurs tourists and locals by mid-evening. Windows and patio angles keep you tethered to the shoreline even inside.

Toast turns beach-adjacent mornings into lingering brunch: creative bennies, griddled edges, and plates that still feel light enough to justify an afternoon walk. Sun bouncing off the water outside sets the tone.

Doctor's Island Brewing Co. brings small-batch local beer, a laid-back taproom feel, and frequent community events that make it an easy Atlantic Hill stop whether you're meeting friends or grabbing a post-beach pint.

Hull Jade is the neighborhood Chinese standby in Kenberma - reliable takeout and dine-in with an extensive menu of classic dishes, from lo mein and fried rice to General Tso and beyond. A go-to for a quick, satisfying meal without leaving town.

Bread Basket is the quiet morning pulse of town: rotating artisan loaves, cinnamon twists that disappear before noon, and neighbors comparing tide charts over to-go coffee. It’s comfort baked daily, just off the beach bustle.

local ice cream shop in Hull, MA. Scoops Ice Cream offers a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from, making it a perfect spot for a sweet treat. The shop's cozy atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming environment for customers of all ages.

Stir Coffee Co is the caffeinated anchor for early walkers and remote workers dodging the home distraction loop. Dialed-in espresso, seasonal specials, and just enough seating to spark quiet chatter without losing focus.

Weinberg’s smells like weekends from decades past, with rye loaves cooling beside frosted cupcakes and old-school frosting roses holding their own against trendier sweets. Locals still order birthday cakes here out of tradition, and because they’re genuinely great.
