America's Best Fishing Bars

Best Place to Pahk Your Yacht
Brown's Wharf, Boothbay Harbor, Maine
207-633-5440
Pull your boat into one of Brown's Wharf Inn's 40 slips (they can accommodate crafts up to 165 feet long, so no worries there) and make your way up to the bar, which overlooks Boothbay Harbor. Here, among sextants, old buoys and antique lobster traps, you can enjoy a number of local microbrews and order dinner from the adjoining kitchen. (The twin lobster special is a steal at $24.) The town might be overrun with tourists during the summer, but owner Ken Brown estimates that roughly 30 percent of the Wharf's clientele is local fishermen, both commercial and recreational, so be prepared to swap tales.

"Hang there long enough and every angler and commercial lobsterman in the area will pass through," says OL Fishing Editor Jerry Gibbs. "The guides congregate out back at the docks."

Brown's Wharf, family-owned and operated since 1944, is more than just a bar: It also features a waterside motel and restaurant.
