Reilley's Grill and Bar

Reilley's has been a staple of the local scene for years and holds down the title of island institution with a bar scene that actually has energy, crab cakes that would embarrass many fine-dining versions, and a lobster pot pie that makes complete sense at this price point.

Casual, loud on big game nights, kid-friendly during normal hours, and the kind of place where locals send each other 'meet me at Reilley's' texts without further explanation. The crab cakes are the real deal — not the breadcrumb-heavy tourist version, but proper crab cakes with actual crab in them.

Happy hour is one of the better ones on the island. If you're looking for a casual dinner that won't disappoint, Reilley's is a reliable call.
