Authentically Eastie.

Cunard Tavern draws inspiration from the rich nautical history of the East Boston Shipyard and the countless immigrants who began their pursuit of the American Dream upon landing here.

Second only to Ellis Island, East Boston served as a vital port of entry for those seeking new opportunities.

From shipbuilders and carpenters to welders and longshoremen, we honor the hardworking individuals who arrived at Cunard Wharf and helped shape our vibrant neighborhood.
