"Jo’s Nautical Bar isn’t technically a seafood restaurant — unless you count the shrimp garnish in the bloody mary — but it’s an essential stop in one’s travels around the South Shore; swing by before or after dinner. Located between the U.S. Coast Guard Station Point Allerton and Pemberton Pier, Jo’s is open year-round and holds a special place in the hearts of many lifetime Hullonians. Sipping an ice-cold beer at a reasonable price in the cozy cellar or on the deck overlooking the bay is a South Shore tradition at Hull’s oldest surviving bar, which dates back to 1951. Although this far end of the Hull peninsula may seem hard to reach by car, you’ll find yourself minutes away from this hidden local spot if you visit Hull by the commuter boat that frequently departs for points around Boston Harbor." - Valerie Li Stack
