Lobster, Donuts, across from the ocean, Dockside Pub Swampscott is a North of Boston treasure. You know you have a great chef when the menu goes from comfort to classy and doesn't miss a beat.

Our server Vivian promptly greeted us with a smile and our cocktails came out with a cool little umbrella! Special shout out to our host with the most, Jack! Our food runner James was a delight as well. Fun young staff and our food was awesome too. We will be back!
Wow...they make their own doughnuts. The whole vibe screams we sell sea shells by the sea shore! ...except my sea shells were mimosas, fresh dougnuts, and a Barnyard Breakfast sandwich. PheNomNomenal!!!
Did we die and go to heaven?!?! Arrived hungry and left full!! Amazing atmosphere, staff and food was beyond delicious. We had great meal at Dockside! The Fish and Chips are great! Perfectly fried outside with tender, flakey fish inside. (My picky child wouldn’t even share!!) The Nachos And Pretzels are our favorite apps! The Nachos are huge and made …
First, Taylah our server was an absolute delight. Engaging, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu for these first-timers (I came with my wife - also her first experience at the Dockside Pub). We will be back for the service alone - but that is just the beginning. This place does a great business and so we came at 4:30 pm …
We wanted a casual place for lunch and we found it. Amazing place. Parking is tight but the food is worth it. Haddock fish tacos do not disappoint. Shrimp wrap comes with a side. The onion rings are seasoned so well, and crispy! The price was reasonable. The server was attentive. Good meal. We will definitely go back
Extremely busy. Plenty if street parking. Except waitress/service. Food was delicious and we had a nice view as well. We shared sweet chili chicken tenders thwt were perfect. Crunchy, yet tender. Hummus with falafel and a cinnamon and plain donut for dessert. I'd like to try their brunch sometime. Open 7 days a week!
❤️ this place for fresh seafood! It is expensive but worth every dime! Atmosphere was great outside! Our server was great too! She gave some local tips for us too. 🥰 This place is a must when you are up in Swampscott!
