Beachcombers Pub and Grill

Nice bar, good cider, but above all we were really happy to find a place in such a convenient location that could host a group on a Friday evening at 8pm. We had never been here before, and picked it based on Yelp reviews. When we stopped by in the afternoon they immediately offered to reserve us a table, and once we showed up with 10 people, they added more tables. Around the time we left (10pm) the place started getting busier, but it was perfect for a group of friends at 8pm!

We didn't eat anything here, but one of our friends said he highly recommends the clam chowder, supposedly it's the best in town!

Florence has their own little old town down by the bay, on Bay St. no less.  I liked the view this restaurant had, overlooking boats, and lots of tables with umbrellas. I felt melancholy about summer so we went on inside. We chose a seat looking out at the boats and the outside benches covered with rainwater.

The menu is huge and so is the space. I was not that hungry and ordered their avocado stuffed with shrimp. I had a choice of Louie style or shrimp ceviche and I chose the latter. I expected it to come out scooped into a half avocado but they made it all pretty and layered it instead.

I also ordered their homemade bloody mary which was very delicious, not to mention strong.

Next time I come here though I plan on being on the outside with the sun shining looking in.

We arrived in Florence about 9 am on a Sunday. In Old Town nearly all the restaurants were closed; so, though the wife said, I don't want to eat in a bar (the outside doesn't look so great), I said we don't have much choice unless we drive elsewhere in town and their are a lot of people in there.
My wife was happy with the bagel and fruit light breakfast. I ordered eggs and hash browns plus sourdough toast with the hope the potatoes would be eatable since the menu stated "yukon potatoes" so they might be made in-house.  The hash browns were great (not hard-crunchy-burned) and the sourdough bread was sour and chewy--as it should be.
