great if you go for lunch. Â
horrid if you go to hear music. Â
you trip over the wires or dancefloor, not sure what it was but I was not able to get by to go to the rest room. Â it was so loud and the music was BAD.
everyone thought they were a music expert, or they were drunk and dancing lamely. Â it is way too SMALL. Â expand or get a better layout.
Stuff they have:
*Decent tap list
*Delicious fries of the uber-crispy variety
*Buffalo chicken tenders that made our corner of the table swoon
*Cinnamon Sugar on the rims of your Shipyard Pumpkinhead
*A healthy love (or at least acceptance) for day drinking!
Stuff they don't:
*Televisions
Come here for drinks and bites if you're in the area. Word has it they have good live music on nights & weekends. Â Worked out as a great midday stop for our party of 9. Just don't expect to catch college football on the big screen. But don't worry- no one is judging while you pound beers and scream at your ESPN smartphone app (cough cough Damien S.)
Ok, the bhumb line, scum line, rummy or whatever you want to call it is great.
Rachelle already gave us a pretty extensive review. The food here is pretty good. I like the wings and the burgers. Yeah, the draft beer selection isnt wicked extensive, but certainly there is something there for your taste. I like the magic hat #9 draft. Theres plenty of bottles also. A dark and stormy or 3 will get your motor running also if thats your thing.
There are food specials throughout the week, prime rib on wednesdays I think and lobster rolls on saturdays among other things. Sports games occasionally are put on the big projector screen.
Parking can be somewhat difficult. In a pinch I will park at the train station and pay the 3 bucks or whatever it is.
The music that the Rhumb Line typically has is pretty good, with regular acts such as Fly Amero and Dave Sag. It WILL be busy when there is live music, get in early for a table and you will be very happy.
Im not sure how the Rhumb line profile got the $$$$ price range rating, which is "splurge: over $61". I set it at $$ and we will see if it sticks or not. The price rating is supposed to be for a meal, a drink and a tip... not the cost of going on half a bender.
Don't bother with this place unless you're a local. The service was terrible and borderline hostile. The drinks were cheap liquor at inflated prices. Great local musicians the only reason why we stayed to finish them. Too bad that the place came so highly recommended by locals who encouraged us to drop in and that we walked a mile in the rain to get there based on that. Very disappointed. Won't be going back.
Review Source:I don't fully recall being here, but that's not the point.
The Gansett was plentiful, the cuban sangwich was stellar, the fries ruled, and the band played The Specials by request.
There were five of us. Â We were loud. Â We were rowdy. Â We may have peed out in front of the place. Â Our collective tab was $250. Â I got hit on by the Golden Girls.
I can't wait to go back again. Â This meets Uncle Juggernaut's seal of approval.

i call this place the bhumb line, but only because i think it's funny. if you're looking for a legit taste of gloucester, come on down. the smallish-but-varied menu will please everyone, and the specials board (which seems to offer almost as much as the regular menu) will take care of any left-out cravings.
my dad and stepmom are regulars here. the service for them is impeccable; it's a "NORM!" situation where everyone knows their names. as for me, i definitely think the waitstaff is consistently attentive regardless of whether or not you're a regular. i went in with my boyfriend about an hour before my parents got there the other day. there was a new-ish waitress there who wasn't familiar with me, but i still received great care. it took a bit of time before she came over to our table but once she made her first visit, we were never left with an empty drink. she was very accomodating, especially because we had to wait so long to order our meals due to the late arrival of the rest of our party.
in the past, i've sometimes thought the waitresses didn't come around enough, but i think that's because my parents are never in a rush, spending a few hours relaxing.
the food is very consistent here. due to the smallish menu, i think this allows the chef(s?) to make extremely high-quality food more often. although i've never had it, handfuls of people have told me the french onion soup (a frequent special) is amazing. the soups always tend to be well-flavored. the nachos are popular, most likely due to the massive pile of goodness that comes out of the kitchen. the potato skins are standard but delicious. these are all decently priced, too.
the grilled chicken sandwiches are great. they offer a few options, and i recommend the cajun chicken. the chicken san miguel is delicious, too; this is a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and guacamole. the guacamole is made with sour cream, so be careful if you are lactose intolerant/don't like sour cream. they make a san miguel burger, too, which i'm sure is awesome. sharon's delight is usually a big hit at my dinner table; this is an english muffin topped with turkey, swiss cheese, mayo (ew), and bacon.
the salads are good, but i find them to be a bit small for the cost (give or take $8, depending on your toppings). much like the burgers, i find that my steak tip salads in the past have been a bit overcooked, as in if i ask for medium rare, it tends to be medium well or well done. the actual steak has a great taste, though. there aren't a lot of dressing choices but i'm not a huge dressing person anyway.
the cuban is my personal favorite. hooooo-ly crap. the cuban is ham and pork with swiss, mustard, and pickles grilled and pressed on french bread. this is probably one of the best sandwiches in general i've ever eaten, but DEFINITELY the best cuban i've ever experienced. every inch of bread is filled with ingredients and there's something about the pressing of the sandwich that makes it fantastic.
the draft beer selection is not my favorite, but has enough options. there are more bottle options but i'm not always super excited about that selection, either. i always end up with the wachusett blueberry draft (and yes, i'm aware this is a total lady beer and is a bit embarassing cause i'm not a lady about beer). the mixed drinks will probably knock you on your ass. they're good.
there's always live music on a weekend night. this makes for a very loud experience, so don't plan on having deep discussions after 9 p.m. on a friday night. it can get crowded, too. the place is small so this is to be expected.
in the winter bring a couple layers, because almost all the tables are in direct line of the door and are very drafty. there are two or three tables out of 7 or 8 that aren't super cold. just have a couple drinks and you'll be fine.
i picked up the tab the other night and, for four people, it was $64. this included 5 or 6 beers, a gin and tonic, a glass of white wine, soup, a side of fries, and three sandwiches (with fries, which are shoestringy and yummy). oh, and one of the sandwiches had sweet potato fries, which are a (frequent) special and i think cost extra. not bad for the amount of stuff we got.
come hang with the locals at the rhumb line. good food, good times. just don't expect a lot of choices if you're on a diet.
