I'll say The Lobster Shanty and Front Street Coffee Shop. Just so down to earth and comfortable. Interesting people frequent them. <3

In A Pig's Eye. Maybe Lobster Shanty, but it definitely attracts more tourists than the Pig.

Red's is a no-brainer......sit at the counter.
Shanty is one of my favorite spots, but if you even act a bit "rowdy" as a regular you get the boot.....the t-shirts are a gimmick.
Front St. has the best coffee in town.
Tin Whistle is great.
The Pig for music and cheap beer.
