The Black Cat Tavern
A long-standing tavern by the Hyannis Harbor docks, famous for its giant lobster rolls and award-winning clam chowder.
A staple tavern that has operated for decades right by the Hyannis Harbor docks, often described by local hotels as a local landmark. It specializes in New England seafood, steaks, and burgers, with the giant Black Cat Lobster Roll (served on a butter-toasted roll with mayo) and the award-winning clam chowder as its signatures. It features a heated patio overlooking the harbor, and the lounge hosts live music every Thursday night. The adjacent Shack Out Back Raw Bar serves freshly shucked oysters and clams. Prices are moderate to high, with lobster rolls priced at market rate. Located at 165 Ocean Street, right next to the harbor.
