Cultivator Shoals is a neighborhood watering hole where classic cocktails and delicious bar food are served in a historical setting. Cultivator Shoals is also a rich fishing area on Georges Bank, established in 1929 where Rose Alley is now and frequented by the world-famous New Bedford Fishermen.We tip our hat to Howie Mallowes & Jay Lanagan who had the vision to remake Cultivator Shoals as an artisan cocktail bar and relocate to the Benjamin Taber Double House; a place that Melville lived in off and on. Our drinks are classic with modern twists, all hand-made to order, following time-honored techniques. Our beers are a rotating selection of local and regional craft brewers, our wine list is a highly curated selection of new and old-world bottles. Our food is chef-made from scratch; we serve bar food with a twist. Our friendly team is some of the best bartenders and chefs in the area. At Cult you will have a great cocktail, good conversation and delicious sustenance.

    Sat at the bar upstairs that has views of the waterfront of New Bedford and the ocean. The bartender was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The food was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    First time there. Cute place. An old pub. Small but quaint. We got seated next to a window. It happened to be about 10 degrees out and the window was stuck cracked open at the top. So the area was chilled. Not the end of the world. Ordered tuna nachos and wings to start. Both great. Actually - those tuna nachos were the best thing I have eaten in a long time. So, so good. Then I just got the Caesar salad which was ok. My husband got a burger and said it was wonderful with a great flame grilled taste. My daughter got the spicy chicken sandwich. While she liked it she later didn’t feel great and wondered if the kimchi pickles and all the spices just hit her wrong. Not sure. Shoestring fries with both sandwiches were great with a flavorful aioli. I would definitely go back and immediately get an order of tuna nachos for myself alone! One thing to mention - and maybe this wasn’t typical - but there was a large group of 9 or 10 in this small dining area and they were loud. Like ridiculously loud. And it was only 6pm. The waitress did address the noise with them and it got a bit better. When they left, though, it was amazing the difference - I could hear the music and have a conversation with others. Hopefully when anyone else goes next there isn’t a loud table like that. The room is too small with tables too close for noisy people like that. Just my opinion.
