She then took our order as if it were a chore for her, without so much as a please or thank you. Bought the drinks without a word and then complained at the end when we wanted to pay cash. We overheard her talking to other customers in... View all feedback. What judyandthegang likes about Crab Shell:

Very lively pub.great and friendly staff. Would visit again. Great beer.

The Bucket and Crab bar in Dartmouth offers a mixed experience according to recent reviews. While some customers have been put off by rude service and subpar beer quality, others have praised the fresh and tasty crab sandwiches and friendly atmosphere. The waterfront seating provides a picturesque view, perfect for enjoying a nice glass of beer. The pub follows COVID protocols diligently, making guests feel safe while dining. Overall, while some aspects may not be perfect, the Bucket and Crab bar seems to be a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, with its unique charm and selection of refreshments making it a standout destination in Dartmouth.
