Its the kind of place that you probably shouldn’t even bother with if you’re not a regular! People walked in before us and weren’t charged a cover but we were. The locals get in free. Uninviting. I love a good dive bar. But not if i have to pat the dust off my clothes after I leave. NOPE.

This has become one of my favorite dive bars on the Cape. It’s a big space with some cool industrial design touches and booths to lounge in. You’ve got your darts, jukebox, pool and Big Buck Hunter. Sometimes they host bands and it’s good because again there is plenty of room to stretch out. Highly recommended if you are a dive bar hunter. The dive vibe is strong and good.

Grumpy’s is a a great place for a cold brew. The bartenders are knowledgable and friendly and Dan(the bartender) played great music and can make a mean drink!

Came here on a Friday night after arriving in Cape Cod for our vacation. We had a great time at this little local bar. Loved sitting in the booths with the nautical décor strung about and the old world kerosene looking lamps on the tables. The live music was great and a really nice touch to this place. The bartenders were awesome and made really delicious yet strong drinks, definitely left feeling pretty drunk! Really charming, old, little bar with lots of character and plenty of fun to be had. I love the rustic and authentic maritime décor and theme here. Definitely had the«iconic» Cape Cod vibe I was looking for! Not a bad way to spend a night in this area, people seemed really relaxed; it was a nice place to have a good time. Had a memorable and enjoyable night here. Have to go here and see it for yourself, a really fun time!

Worst experience at a bar that I have ever had. Went for St. Patrick’s Day early in the evening and planning to stay for a long while. The male bartender was rude, took my credit card, started my tab and gave me drinks. A beer later I return to get more to find that he’s lost my credit card! Not only was he not apologetic or even sorry about it, he kicked me out(not even asking me to pay any other way). I had a couple of witnesses who saw that I gave him my credit card for the tab but he still insisted on kicking me out. I asked if I could leave my number and name for when my card shows up and he refused, eventually a female waitress took my information. I called back a day later and they had my card– Looked like someone had tried to bend it so I can only assume that the bartender tried to destroy it after it was found? Regardless, I had such a horrible experience, I will never return.

Great little rustic bar. Seemed like a local hang out. Had a couple stouts here, very polite older guys running the bar. They even brought a bowl of water for my dog. They don’t serve food but there was a food cart outside selling simple items like hot dogs. If you want a pleasant place to have an afternoon beer, this is a good place.

If it was possible to give it less than one star I would. If your not a local townie or a drug addict you will be out of place. They charge a huge cover for all people they dont know and you are guaranteed to get in a fight with someone. NEVERGOHERE

I’ve always loved Grumpy’s. Always. I’ve had a lot of good times here over the years hanging with the locals and generally speaking being debaucherous. Since the last time I was here they have taken out the wood stove and put in really nice booths. I mean REALLY nice booths. In that section of the world, there are very few places I can say that I truly have always had fun when I arrive. That section of the world can be… how do I say it… snotty. Grumpy’s has just the right amount of light, and they have porches outside that you can bring your beer out to when you smoke your cigarette. Music your thing? Aside from having bands during the weekends, I happened on Sunday to stumble into a jam. If you play instruments or sing and are a nice person they let you on stage with them. Seriously, you must go here. Seriously.

Local bar with a nice mix of townies and tourists. Right price drinks and good music. Fun atmosphere with tons of charm. Loved the old sign from the Regatta

Grumpy’s! Great live music and a relaxed environment. Responsible and friendly staff… kudos to Dan! He shared darts with us for a 14th anniversary match. So much fun! Cold drinks, music, dancing, pool. Beyond dive bar.

This place has a lot going for it. Good jukebox, pool tables, darts, funky patio area where you can light up a smoke with your beer if you want. I went there on a saturday night and it was fairly busy. Unilocal says this is a «dive bar» but it didnt seem that divey to me. The only drawback was the rude bartender who looked like he hated his job but then again the place is called Grumpy’s. Three stars sounds about right.

Best bar in Falmouth. Good selection of beer and cheap. Absolutely a local dive bar, and exactly what you want if you’re looking for a dive bar. They sometimes have bands on stage and live music.

GREAT local place that is definitely a dive bar with character. Was here for the weekend and we had a blast. Met a couple locals who kept us entertained the whole night. Dave the bartender is great!!! Early on sunday night there was a bluesy-funky bank playing. Some of the best homegrown music I have heard in a while! Dont be intimidated by the dirt parking lot and lack of windows in this place. Its a blast and a welcome change from the typical stuffy overpriced bars you find in tourist towns!!!

Definitely a place to mingle with the locals. Recently they have done some improvements on the bar itself. There is now an air hockey table along with the two pool tables and dart boards. A new Juke Box as well, though it will blind you if you look at it in the dark. Very flashy. Some new bars and bar stools have popped out throughout the bar. Last I was there they had tape up and I heard rumor of some nice booths moving in… Unfortunately the burrito bus is no more, so no food here unless you bring it yourself. Sunday afternoons there is a jam session and people occasionally bring their dogs, at least in the summer. Sometimes during the week they pull down the projector screen and play movies or wii.

I love the fact that Grumpy’s is in the«Dive Bar» category. I would say it has character. The place is an institution. The landscape for bars and restaurants on the Cape can change pretty quickly but Grumpy’s had endured … i went to them back in 1993 for the first time and they are still here. It is a small place but dont let it fool you — they carry good beers. This place is not a tourist trap by any means but a low key local pub. Come for a refreshing beer when you are in the area!

Don’t mind the massively pitted parking lot. How many bars are actually considered«dog friendly?» I think I saw a water dish by the back door. Good live music, patrons dedicated to raising money for local charities, 2 pool tables. It’s the pool tables that drew me in. No food, so bring in your own, lots of food sharing goes on there. Friendly local atmosphere with a one of a kind blues filled juke box. I just go there during the day. Say«Hi» to Henry when you get there, he’s there every time I’ve ever showed up before 6 pm. Relax, discuss, play, enjoy.

I’m going to pretty much agree with everything Julie. C wrote in her review below. Comared to the handful of tourist traps this place is a real treat of a drinking hole. I found it pretty hard to believe that there wasn’t one decent pub on the main strip. Therefore, this is the place to head if you want to have a good pint, game of pool or two and chat with the locals. Turn left at the end of the gravel path on Locust Street and don’t be put off that it’s a little walk out of the way.

Want to hang out with locals? Check out Grumpy’s Pub. Don’t let the gravel dirt road scare you, it adds to the ambience that is Grumpy’s. You won’t find Bud on tap here, no, they carry Anchor Steam, Sam, Sam Summer, Magic Hat’s Summer Wacko, and Guiness. Pretty small place with 2 pool tables, some games(BIGBUCKHUNTER Pro!!) They have live music Thurs– Sun and I believe a Wii night on Tuesdays. They do charge a $ 5 but its worth paying for cuz all proceeds to to the band that plays which are usually pretty good. Pretty cool spot to kill a few hours.

Two words: Burrito. Bus. Dive bar + delicious drunken burritos? Yes. Yes I will. Sadly, since my last review in 2006, Willie passed away tragically. He will be missed :(
