A visit to Beal's Lobster Pier is always a highlight — no matter the season.
There’s nothing like a trip to Maine in the summer – and a visit to Beal’s is a must for those looking for an authentic lobster pier experience and the freshest seafood one can find. At our working lobster pier in Southwest Harbor, Maine, you and your family will have a blast watching the boats sail in and the lobstermen unload fresh Maine lobster. Hear the creak of rope on the moorings. Catch the scent of saltwater on the breeze, and enjoy the waterfront view.
Our restaurant is closed from October to May, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fresh from the pier lobster from Maine’s pristine coast. Even when Maine is cold enough to freeze our beards and eyelashes, we’re still hard at work to deliver live lobsters, fresh and frozen lobster meat, and more fresh Maine seafood straight to your doorstep.
eat, drink & be messy.™️
Maine has so much to offer — even in the off season.

What others say…
Love the Beals Lobster Pound! Not our first visit .and will not (hopefully ) be our last Eaten here a few times. Fun watching people park and hang their vehicle up on the tricky pier. Very entertaining. Glad it wasn't us!! Fun to watch all of the people and comings and goings in this quiet Harbor. Like to go about 3-4 in the afternoon as we are blue hairs .. Avoid the busy time of day when the screaming children are there. Bartenders very helpful as well as the guy helping you pick out your very tasty lobster, argghh
Fourteen family members from 7 states met in the Bar Harbor area for a 4-day family reunion. Not only did we want to find a place that could accommodate our large group and take reservations, but we were celebrating 2 birthdays as well. The dinner at Beal's exceeded our expectations. They greeted us, sat us at the 2 tables they had set aside for our group, explained how to place our orders and to go directly to the owner to place the orders. We looked forward to a true, Maine Lobster experience and got everything and more. All of our meals were excellent, we indulged in unique alcoholic beverages and had dessert. Thanks to Matt, the owner, his brother, the bartender and all the waitstaff for giving our family a true Maine experience.
This is a traditional, classic, working, fish and lobster dock that just happens to have a restaurant as a side gig. The dockside food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. Don’t miss out on this.
