Beloved Bourne shellfishery Quahog Republic Dive Bar, which shuttered last year, will reopen in Falmouth next week, reports the Globe. The restaurant’s motto is “live-give-relax” and, in that spirit, the menu focuses on slightly gussied up bar food: grilled corn with spicy lime aioli and melted cheese, an “Island” burger topped with grilled pineapple, barbecue sauce, applewood-smoked bacon, caramelized onions, and cheese, and a lobster roll served either Connecticut or Maine style. The namesake shellfish make plenty of appearances as well, stuffed with linguica and butter, popped in a bacon-heavy chowder, and alongside a hot dog in what the menu describes as “Poor Man’s Surf & Turf.”
