OUR NAME: We are proud to be the newest restaurant & private function space in the historic town of Pembroke, MA. To honor the community, we named our restaurant after one of the five shipyards once located on Pembroke's North River. 

OUR CONCEPT: A gastropub is a British term for a public house that specializes in serving high-quality food.  Gastropubs originated in the 1990's and have become increasingly popular over the last 10 years.  The word gastropub is a blend of the words pub and gastronomy; gastronomy simply being the art and practice of selecting, cooking and eating good food.  Our Executive Chef, Eric Bogardus has created a globally-influenced, locally-inspired menu featuring the very best comfort food for your enjoyment.

OUR MISSION: Our goal is to become a central meeting house for local residents and the ideal dining destination for the community.  We're dedicated to the celebration of great food, great beer and great service—we look forward to seeing you soon!
