We’re so much more than an oyster bar!
Introduce yourself to delicate Crudo before enjoying fresh from the dock Day-Boat Fish Catches and a changing variety of USDA Prime Cut Chops among our heartier selections.
Nothing says fresh like Oysters you can watch shucked! BRINE menus feature local harvests and greens to include those we grow, Artisanal Cheeses, robust Sandwiches, house made Sausages and even Caviar service to offer tastes for every preference. Save room for Desserts that are as delicious as they are gorgeous– and other ‘off the page’ entrées that pop up daily. Try a new craft beer, original cocktail or try an interesting wine from our award-winning collection.
We announce weekly events and Chef Tasting Appearances on Facebook or you can sign up for a private email here.
BRINE Menus
At Brine, our DAILY Market Bar is an assortment of flavors from sea and shore, and in Newburyport we know something about both! From Shellfish to Crudo to freshly cut Chops, we’ve brought the best of three food specialties together.
