The Barking Crab

Wandering around Boston waterfront? Near the Aquarium? Want some seafood? Pop in to this brightly colored Tent restaurant. You can saddle up at the bar or wait to be seated. It’s a busy spot and popular, so if you like a talkative lively atmosphere then join the fun. It was crowded when I arrived so I stood at the bar. The bartenders were super busy but took my order quick. I got a New England Clam bake with oysters, mussels, a whole lobster and corn on the cob. It was delicious.

I LOVE it here. Great place to drink outside in the summer. Food's delicious. My only complaint is that there's no table service on the patio and it's impossible to get to the bar for a drink or close a tab when it's crowded. They often close off half the bar area for private events as well, instead of using the ample indoor table space, which has never made sense to me and makes getting a bartender's attention even harder.
