Hungry Whale Pub

If you want to experience New Bedford, make Hungry Whale Pub your first stop. You won't be disappointed by the colorful and friendly locals inside. Think Star Wars: Catina...

In reality I can only give this bar 2 stars because it is a dive bar.  HOWEVER, the reality is a place this dirt with warm beer and virtually no food menu should probably get 1 star, and I chose to give it 2 because it was actually a lot of fun.  I walked in with a large group of people who had never been to this windowless, signless hole in the wall, and we were greeted very kindly.  The bar tender and the regulars were all great, welcoming, and fun.  All in all, I can easily see this place's charm, given that you treat it wisely (don't bring a date there, do bring a crowd of friends.)
