What is The Black Dog Tavern like?
You'll find yourself stepping back into Martha's Vineyard history the moment you walk through the doors of The Black Dog Tavern — the island's most iconic restaurant, perched on the edge of Vineyard Haven Harbor since 1971. This beloved waterfront landmark serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with unmatched harbor views from its rustic, wood-beamed dining room and open patio. The menu leans into New England classics: fresh local seafood, chef-crafted entrées, homemade desserts, and a full bar. On summer Friday evenings, live music drifts across the water. Whether you're grabbing breakfast before the ferry or lingering over dinner at sunset, the Tavern delivers that rare combination of casual warmth and genuine Cape and Islands tradition that keeps visitors coming back year after year.
