After returning from
The Civil War, Alfred W. Thompson, the great-grandfather of Newburyport
Yankee Whit Kimball, opened a "Ladies and Gents Eating and Oyster
House" serving Newburyporters, sailors, statesmen and travelers until
prohibition. After repeal, Spud Leary opened the Pilot House,
serving the public until 1964, when the McCarthys assumed
stewardship.

In 1969 the business was rechristened "The
Grog" after the English Navy's traditional ration of rum and water.
This tradition was started by Admiral Vernon, whose nickname was "Old
Grog", so called for the cloak he wore made of grogram. We
continue to salute you, Admiral Vernon!
For over thirty-six
years, The Grog has been the place to meet and to enjoy in
Newburyport. The tradition of presenting fresh food, refreshment
and entertainment continues - ever changing as we strive to keep things
lively for you.
