Weathervane Restaurant at the Weirs?

Greene's Basin Girl · 05-18-2011, 01:42 PM

I drove through the Weirs yesterday and saw the sign for the Weathervane. I thought that it looked like the same logo on the sign that the other Weathervane's have. Now I know that to be true.

Fried Clams.

Oh boy! Finally a place to get lobster near the Weirs.

Never did like Weathervane, since I grew up with Newick's and 'Old Sawyer's' seafood. My favorite today is Pop's. Weathervane can never beat Pop's!

Where at the Weirs will it be located?

It is true the weathervane is opening a seasonal take-out styly venue. It is located on the pier at the Weirs.

Rattlesnake Guy · 05-18-2011, 07:56 PM

That would seem strange for a landlord to rent to two seafood takeout businesses at the same time.

robmac · 05-18-2011, 08:52 PM

I only know the deal with the Weathervane.

I have to agree with BroadHopper, I was not impressed with Weathervane and once was enough for me. Hopefully they will fill the void created when Tamarack changed ownership some time ago.

I have had some good meals at the Weathervane. I say any new business in the Weirs should be welcomed rather then a vacant building. It also gives people another choice and another reason to come to the Weirs. I give them credit in this economy for opening another location. I wish them luck!

Not a Weathervane fan either. Took mom to the Bedford local on M-day and was not impressed. Already good seafood places there now. imo

We live a couple of miles from the Bedford Weathervane and we stopped going some time ago. The food has gone down hill and I think it's that they're very inconsistent. I'm not so sure their fish is always fresh.

The Weathervane (all their places) has been going down hill for years. Newicks in Dover is still the best around, but they are going up in prices also.

Not to split hairs, Robmac, but the Weathervane is coming to Weirs Beach this summer but it is not on the Pier. They will be opening on the boulevard in the building that housed the BBQ place last year, across from Tower Hill Tavern. This location is across the railroad tracks from the Pier. The Pier businesses will remain the same. Going down the Pier is The T shirt shop ($2.00 sunglasses and awesome hoodies), then the pizza/fried dough shop (terrific fried dough), then kevin's cafe (new menu!), then Sugar and Spice (fudge/candy/ice cream/homemade caramel popcorn), then Winni Woods ( stuff your own bear/sand art), then the arcade, then Anthony's on the Pier is at the very end over the water. Also at the very end of the Pier (on your right) is Anchor Marine. kevin and myself welcome the Weathervane...better to have someone there than an empty storefront! Also, at the top of the Pier (facing the boulevard) to your right is the "Little Pink Trailer" owned by our friends Connie and Ray. Stop by and say hi-they are the nicest people! Personally, my feeling is that the Weirs is big enough for all of us and we welcome the chance to meet new people and see old friends! kevin's on the Pier will be opening Thursday, May 26th-please stop by and say hello!

Bring on summer! Both places have their merit...........

Greene's Basin Girl · 05-30-2011, 01:51 AM

My sister, Redwing and myself tried the Weathervane at the Weirs for dinner. It was very good. I had ribs and the others had lobster salad rolls. My ribs were great and they loved the lobster salad ( not to much mayo). The french fries and onion rings were also delightful. The server ( Diana) was very good. We will certainly go back.
