Local flavor and camaraderie can be found at The Barnacle.
Every town has that one restaurant with a true sense of local flavor and camaraderie attached to it. In Marblehead, this restaurant is the seafood favorite called The Barnacle.

Jack Tar provides Marbleheaders with an upscale, delectable culinary hot spot.
It isn't someone's name, a type of fish or any other inaccuracy often suggested. A "Jack Tar" is defined as "a man who serves as a sailor."

Jack Tar came under new ownership in 2008 and is now run by husband and wife team chef Scott Brankman and manager Emily Farnsworth-Brankman.
