Tiny tinis. Still the move.
In case you forgot, Tuesdays at The Whaling Bar mean $10 martinis from 4PM to close. We heard this is the best way to romanticize your Tuesday.

This is dinner at The Whaling Bar.

One drink turns into two. A quick bite turns into a full table. Lobster, lamb, martinis, and a few sides to share.

No one’s in a rush. The joy of good food, thoughtful
cocktails, and great company lives here.
