Description

A beloved, decades-old Freeport tavern, The Helm blends nostalgic charm with hearty pub fare — helmet burger, crispy wings, mussels — and a welcoming, community-minded crowd. Regulars praise generous portions, ice-cold beer and friendly staff who support fundraisers and live music, while critics note uneven quality, inattentive service and occasional pricey bills. The outdoor deck and service consistency hint at room for improvement, but the bar remains a lively, unpretentious local favorite.

The atmosphere and drinks are fantastic. They offer the best burgers in South Freeport late into the night.

We had an amazing experience at The Helm! I came with my whole family, and the food exceeded our expectations. The service was exceptional—truly the best we've had in a long time. I highly recommend this place!

The Helm has a lot of potential for growth, particularly with its outdoor deck. I came primarily to watch a friend's band play, and it ended up being a surprisingly unique experience. The menu offers a variety of options that could be further enhanced as the venue develops.

We want to express our gratitude for a fantastic experience and for all the effort they put into assisting us with the fundraiser. The owner and her daughter are truly kind and wonderful people, and we can say the same for the staff. Thank you for having us back! P.S. The burgers are the best!
