Hey Bye Spin
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 on a Saturday afternoon to be beat the rush. The restaurant was still 3/4 full including a cute outdoor bar and sitting area. It’s a lively neighborhood pub atmosphere that makes you feel welcome right away – ready to raise a glass or 2. We both had margaritas… one blackberry and the other the spicy jalapeño cucumber… both excellent, and I am a bartender so I can tell a properly made cocktail. These bartender’s know what they are doing.
Appetizers were really good – the Thai chilli fried shrimp had a homemade sauce that was unique and drinkable …. I kept licking the utensils used to scrub the plate clean. The clam chowder was good – not great. A little thick and coagulated for our taste. But NOT enough clams. This was the only minor disappointment on the entire meal experience — only because I had heard it was quite good.
For the main meal, my wife got the 2-way fried seafood plate with clams and scallops. Decent portion, perfectly cooked. The scallops were the standout star of this show – fresh, juicy and delightful. Clams were also very good, just not as plump and fresh as the scallops. I had the blackened mahi with an arugula mango salad that was one of the best cooked mahi dishes I have ever had. Large portion, nice thickness, deliciously seasoned, and perfectly charred. I would eat the mahi any day, every day and be on cloud 9. It may go away soon as the summer is coming to a close, we heard (get it before it’s gone !!).
All the staff are smiling and very approachable. They seem to truly enjoy working there! All in, we love this place and will definitely add it to our top list of favorite local hangouts!

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!!!

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.
Lobster rolls, fish and chips and fried clams are locals favorites, and yes, always get their donuts.
My personal favorites were the Spicy BluefinTuna Crispy Rice and Seared Scallops with insanely good Florentine risotto, and Haddock Francaise fran says
But the showstopper is that seafood stuffed lobster.
FEATURED:
Haddock Francaise
Egg dipped and pan seared with garlic, parmesan, parsley, served with lemon white wine sauce
Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice
Bluefin tuna, fried sushi rice, spicy kewpie, jalapenos, chili threads, scallions
Lobster Roll
Cold with lemon aioli or hot with warm butter and parsley on a toasted briohe roll
Seared Scallops
Florentine risotto with mushrooms, tomato, spinach, and brown butter garlic
Fried Clam Plate
fried clams and fries with a side of tartar sauce and coleslaw

I had the most delightful meal at the dockside pub in Swampscott — easily one of the best local finds. The shrimp scampi was outstanding: perfectly cooked, garlicky, bright, and fresh, every bite tasted like summer by the water. Rebecca’s service was next-level — warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, she made us feel like regulars from the moment we sat down. The whole place has a true community vibe: welcoming, lively, and clearly committed to top‑notch, fresh food served with care. Highly recommend for anyone who wants great seafood, excellent service, and an authentic local pub experience.

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 with house-made chips! We ordered a second batch of them as well!! Definitely a must try place!!

I can’t say enough about how amazing Dockside and their team was for supporting a welcome home lunch for my son who was returning from being deployed. The team Noah and Kristin were amazing and so supportive and Andrew who helped facilitate this was beyond helpful. The food, drinks and atmosphere was perfect and some of my family who have never dined there before will be coming back soon. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Went for the first time and the trip was 100% worth it. Had no idea what I’ve been missing out on. The steak tips were perfectly cooked and had an amazing flavor not to mention the perfect portion!! Fried shrimp has an amazing flavor as well. For sure coming back. Servers and Bartenders always had good energy and were super sweet!

We decided to eat lunch here and I’m glad we did. I ordered some steamers and they were cooked perfectly and presented nicely. I also had a delicious Caeser salad with nicely seasoned croutons. My wife ordered the baked Haddock and a side Caesar. The Haddock had a fishy smell and they immediately replaced it with a fried piece. It was much better. The second plate also had little potatoes, but they were undercooked.

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!
