AFTERHOUSE

SEAFOOD BISTRO & WINE BAR

The “After House" is a structure on the deck of a whaling ship where the common sailors would go to get relief from the elements. Located next to the Galley, on deck, the After House was a communal room where whale men would share stories, enjoy a meal, have a grog, or just relax away from their duties on board.

Afterhouse seafood and wine bar is a true Nantucket seafood bistro, focused on serving chilled shellfish, raw fish preparations, caviars and tinned seafood. For non-seafood lovers, there are local vegetarian offerings, and some charcuterie selections.

We will offer beer on draft and in bottle as well as a curated wine list were every selection will be offered by the glass. Currently 26 wines are available by the glass, featuring wines from Spain, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Jura, California, Italy, Hungary, and Israel.

Afterhouse is currently open 7 days a week, serving our entire menu 2:30 pm - 12:30 am.
