Duck Inn Pub

Wow, this place is a dump. It is extremely divey and I was afraid to touch anything.
I have stayed at the hotel adjacent to it and didn’t think it was too bad. I went to this place looking for lunch, there was a gentleman on the outside tables who looked like a homeless person with a dog, walked in, the waitress ignored me completely, not even a ‘hello’
Go somewhere else, really

My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this place when we tried to go next door to Embargo, but they weren’t open yet. We were just walking around Main Street and wanted to have a drink or two.
When we walked in, we quickly realized this was ‘dive bar’ fun we were about to embark on. Okay, we’re game… bunch of older guys at the bar, looked like locals and definitely some drunk people on the other side of the bar.
Hannah, our bartender, was an absolute doll! She seemed totally out of place to be in a dive like this, but she was attentive and made us a couple of really good drinks…
We talked to some of the people in there, it was quite interesting and a very laid back atmosphere… think ‘Cheers’ if everyone in Cheers was totally drunk at 3:30 in the afternoon… lol.
All in all, a fun place to hang for a little while and drink. We’d go back.

Went there for a drink, but was witness to a bar fight.
Did not spend much time after that.

Sadly, the kitchen is no longer open due to a lack of business. The bar is still biz as usual.

This has quickly became my favorite place! The atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks are great and the potato skins rock. We stumbled upon this place during our mini-​vacation and ended up spending both nights here! They have live music, tv’s to catch the game & outgoing staff. This truly is a local’s gem.

Duck Inn is a bar with a decent bar menu. Had the fried pickle slices and the stuffed quahog, both were good which is exactly what you get when you eat in a bar… just good. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food plus four IPAs=$ 34.

Stopped here during a broiling 95 degree mid-​day lunch. Waitress (Tyla) was exceptionally nice, and she asked the hostess if we could sit outside with our small dog on a leash. They said yes, which was very nice of them and we thought we were off to the races. Waitress brought a bowl of water for the dog and got us drinks fast — she was really nice and attentive. All the good stops there however, as our meal literally took over a ½ hour to arrive. Panini, chicken wings and steak kabobs. Food was OK, steak was so-​so, served on top of greasy fries that were inedible. Served the steak kabobs on a plastic plate. Prices were cheap, but obviously the cook was late or something was up, as we were almost the only ones there and the meal took forever. Same thing was happening to the two other parties that showed up after us. Can’t imagine going back there — but such is life…

What? The Hyannis library has virtually no hours on the weekend and doesn’t look like there is any place to actually do work? Well, I guess you’ll just have to walk the couple blocks down to the Duck Inn Pub. This bar is probably the greatest place to get work done in Hyannis. It has:
–beer
–free wifi for its patrons
–plenty of space
–a fireplace with big comfy chairs
–beer
–decent pub food, 50% off an app when you check in with Unilocal
–beer
As one might infer from my review thus far, I came here on a weekend and needed a quite place to do some work. This place more than delivered. The regulars tend to keep to the bar (and to each other), so most of the non-​bar seating is free. Unlike the coffee shop across the street, this place actually serves things you really want to put in your face, i.e. beer and fried pickles (and for the price you’d get a coffee and sandwich at the café). The bartenders and patrons were friendly enough and were more than happy to leave me to my own devices. I look forward to coming back and being that guy in the back whose always working.

Best dive bar on the Cape, a Main Street staple. Actually looks much nicer since it was updated, but kept that classic wooden bar which I love. Relaxed atmosphere and dimly lit. Drinks are cheap and they have some good food deals. I’d stick with the apps and they’re half price at certain times which is a plus. Solid musical acts, but I prefer the jukebox which has infinite options. Outdoor patio for the summer and a cozy fireplace lounge for the colder months. This is a great spot, whether you want to pop in for a drink or settle in for a couple hours.

Only had drinks but the bartender was super friendly and the beer was cheap!

The place to go for fried pickles! Definitely a great spot to sip on one of their amazing drinks on the patio and people watch. Not a great spot for lunch or dinner, though. Very nice waitresses, especially the lovely lady with the flower in her hair :)

Clearly no one who has eaten here recently has written a review. Stay VERY far away! My parents and I had a very late, very large lunch and were looking for a bite to eat. It was around 8:30 p.m. on a Friday night and we were having a hard time finding a restaurant that would not only seat us immediately, but would let me parents order desert while I ordered actual food that didn’t consist of refined carbs.
The Duck Inn Pub had an empty patio and a very basic menu, but they also said they had cheesecake. We of course found this out after standing in the doorway for several minutes and then asking a busboy if we could sit on the patio, since none of the staff even acknowledged us. After waiting almost 10 minutes we were given menus and had our drink order taken. I ordered a plain burger and asked the waitress to omit the bun. She seemed to have a hard time understanding this so I didn’t even bother asking to have a side salad instead of french fries. My mom ordered the cheesecake the waitress said they had, but then she said she had to go check and make sure they actually had it. She came back with one of those Sam’s Club cheesecakes with about four different flavors, pre-​cut and in the sealed container and asked my mom to pick one. She brought it out on a plate and decorated it with whip cream.
About ten minutes later she brings me a cheeseburger on a bun. We had to flag her back down and tell her it was the wrong item. She was again confused and thought that’s what I ordered because she wrote it down, but I reminded her I asked for a plain burger with no bun. She brought that out and it was a perfectly ordinary pre-​made patty with fake grill marks and fake smoke flavor that had been heated up on the grill. I wasn’t expecting excellence, but at almost $ 9 even for a resort town it’s very overpriced. I shudder to think what the $ 11 lobster roll is like here. Also, when we got the bill we saw that she entered the burger as «American burger» which is not an item on the menu, but lead us to believe this is why the kitchen put a slice of American cheese on it. We tried to confirm we weren’t being charged for a cheeseburger and kind of gave up, it wasn’t worth the hassle.
The only enjoyable part of this experience was sitting out on the patio since it was a beautiful night. Also being outside saved us from listening to the god-​awful karaōke DJ inside belt out Dust in the Wind at full volume. I would venture to say that this might be one of the worst places to eat on Main St. I should also note than in the time we were seated, we witnessed a group of eight get up and leave because no one came and helped them after waiting over ten minutes and the family seated behind us regretted not leaving as well. Again, this was a Friday night. Letting that party of eight go un-​helped, all of whom were in their 20’s and probably going to order a few rounds of drinks is practically criminal in the restaurant industry.

I ate here with my husband for lunch on Friday of last week. The waiter was great and the food was probably the best food that I would eat my entire vacation. Who knew a 10 days later your first meal out would be the best. Ty to the Duck Inn Pub… The combo (swordfish/​grilled shrimp) was a good value and delicious. thanks for the memories and experience…

Fun place to eat on the main drag in Hyannis. Raucous place, outside seating available (covered by a tent like structure), also features a cool inside bar area and some «average» looking indoor seating. Great place to eat and people watch. Bar area has TV’s to catch a Sox game.
Unilocal has defined this as a Pub — I believe it is more of a bar/​restaurant which has entertainment at various times. I’ve updated the listing.
A mix of folks, locals at the bar, families with kids on vacation, retirees on vacation, etc.
We eat here on vacation all the time. On July 4^th we ate there — I heartily recommend the lobster roll, served with fries and coleslaw. It was amazing. My fussy daughter loved the perfectly cooked dog on the New England style roll.
We went back for a quick dinner on Saturday the 5^th (before the fireworks in Hyannis) and had a less pleasant experience. I ordered the BLT wrap and they said that the wraps are «off the menu». Jeez, just print some new ones. I had the clam plate and the clams were just so/​so (my own fault, they are just starting to run again after a local red tide) and the fries were horribly soggy. Our Russian server was cute but could barely speak English and was completely inattentive — I was crabby and could have used another gin and tonic! I consider this visit an aberration as my other 5 visits have been super — perhaps the local crowd for the fireworks taxed this place to capacity.
On Saturday night they had a singer/​guitar player playing in the bar area.
My daughter enjoys eating here, particularly because we buy Mass Scratch off lottery tickets and play while we wait for the food to come. This year she won $ 30 — while I was the big winner with $ 100 on the Red Sox scratch off game! Lots of folks drink at the bar and play the Mass Keno game.
Prices are «ok» and service tends to be spotty. Parking on the street and I believe behind in private lot. Good for families with kids, but I would vote not good for groups… I can’t imagine trying to get a seat for 8 on a hot and crowded summer day.
