Chatham Squire Restaurant & Tavern: Your Destination for New American Cuisine

This is definitely the place to be in Chatham! The Chatham Squire has a great location downtown that is paired with a true tavern atmosphere. My advice if you are going in mid-summer to the "first come first served" side: be patient! Get a drink at the bar and wait for folks to be done, we didn't have to wait as long as we thought. We started by putting our names in on the dining room side (there is the tavern side as well) and then walked around Chatham. Coming back, we noticed a few seats open at the bar and then, only a few mins later, a table opened. The bus boy got us right away and we sat a 6 top comfortably. We started with drinks - they have tons of local cocktails. Our server was absolutely amazing! My children were all in on getting to draw their server and then give it to them! Very cool engagement for the kids. See photos below, we started with local, fresh oysters. (They also had funky cups and straws for the kids, see oyster pic). Oysters were top notch, came out fast, and with all regular garnishes. Next, after another round of drinks, we got our main meals. I deviated from what I'd normally get and tried something a bit different: the fish tacos. Huge. Amazing. Fresh. For a tavern that does seat yourself, you really cant beat the food! This is why you come to Chatham - this tavern felt timeless. The staff was warm and welcoming - and when I forgot my to go boxes, they had them stashed behind the bar. It's the fare you're looking for plus the atmosphere of a local fishing community without sacrificing any quality. Get there early or late, there will be a crowd looking to party with you!

Great little bar in the middle of Chatham. Nice local atmosphere, great service and a good selection of beers, both draft and in bottles. Quirky decorations (personalised license plates from around the US) and a pool table added to the charm. Great place to spend the evening after hiking around the cape. Food looked good, though we didn't eat. Plenty of parking nearby for your DD.

Great bar, and the food was great,and so was the beer I got chicken nachos. Very friendly waitress she was training a new employee for the ramp up for the summer. We will be back in September when it gets cooler. Nice job to everyone and the staff

Having grown up on the Cape this is must stop. The atmospheres lively, the staff is super friendly and the food is delicious! Always on point and fresh! Kid friendly and adult friendly! You won't be disappointed whether you try the hot lobster roll or the cold lobster roll!

Authentic New England tavern experience that harkens back to an earlier age. The bar scene on one side of establish is a happening place both day and night. The restaurant side serves authentic New England seafood as well as other options. I was impressed with cod fish dish and enjoyed sharing local oysters with my family members. Every time I visit Cape Cod, the Chatham Squire is a must visit.

If you are on Cape Cod and around the Chatham area, Chatham Squire is a must! The food and service is excellent and there’s the bar next door with pool tables and a band in the evenings.

Great bar! Well poured drinks and a fantastic band (Grab Bros) was playing when we were there. Nice mix of young and older people.
