Libad’s Seaside Tavern

This is kind of a hole in the wall place but the staff makes up for that. Excellent drinks, very generous pour. The food… I had a Caesar salad the first time I went and I probably would not order it again. Not terrible but questionable lettuce served on a freezing cold plate, dressing was meh. Come here for the pizza! So good, so much better than a bar pizza. They are football shaped with a doughy crust. Every pizza I have had here is top notch, you will not be disappointed. During the summer they offer an appetizer called sea hogs. They are basically giant clam cakes with scallops in them. So freakin good!!! Sadly, they are gone now for the winter. Of note, on my thursday visit I had the clam chowder. It was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. For real. I told the bartender this and he said it’s funny, he was just saying that they should have entered it in last weeks chowder fest. It’s dark in there and it’s pretty much a local working class type of crowd. If that’s not your cup of tea, just get some pizza to go. It gets 4 stars for food and 2.5 stars for atmosphere… It should really be a 3.5 star rating but Unilocal won’t allow this.

Great food and cheap beer, the 1 – 2 combo I’m always looking for at a bar. Pint draft of rolling rock is $ 1.50, you can’t beat that with a wet noodle. Pizza and clam cakes are mad good. Plenty of TVs make it the perfect place to watch sports. Parking on Brock ave infront of hazelwood park is never an issue. DJ on saturday nights, jukebox for the other nights and a pool table cover all the bases for your bar activities, they’re only missing darts and foosball but you can’t have it all. Proofs in the puddin’, Best bar in the southend, just ask Jared!!!

I live in Providence, so I don’t head to New Bedford too often. But, like so many other people, I heard about this place because of Bar Rescue. I’ve been wanting to go, and finally had the perfect opportunity when I gave a friend a ride home to New Bedford.
I don’t know where to start. The place looks really good inside. It was not crowded, but it was a Tuesday night. The Bruins were on two or three screens and the Sox on others. The bartender was wearing a B’s jersey. Yup, I was set to watch the Bruins.
I ordered a Sam Summer, and the the bartender asked if I wanted lemon. I did, but it’s nice when they ask. The menu does not look fancy, but they had all the standard bar options. I had to try the pizza. I couldn’t believe some of the options: garlic and clams, scallops and bacon and more.
They even have a personal size pizza and beer special for just $ 8. I went with that. There was a slight upcharge since I got the Sam. The pizza was bigger than personal size — I had leftovers. And it was REALLY GOOD.
I had a second Sam and stayed for a while. I was shocked by the tab — only about $ 12.00. The Sam Adams was only $ 3.50! This place is worth the drive!

The pizza at Libads is absolutely amazing to say the least. The staff is awesome and make you feel right at home. The bar is frequented by regulars and they are great to converse with.
If you didn’t know, the bar was featured on Spikes Bar Rescue, the food staff and drinks are great; if you’re looking for a spot to relax and enjoy great pizza and food this is it!

We were playing in New Bedford and decided to try out this neighborhood bar that was featured on Bar Rescue. Gotta admit that when we drove up, we almost didn’t go in but we were up for an adventure.
When we walked in around 2:00 on a Saturday, there were a couple of regulars at the bar. We sat at the other end. The bartender was attentive and when he asked if we were local, we told him about the TV show drawing us in. That got him started. He told us all about the show, the competition to get on, the personalities, the works. The beer was cold. The pizza was awesome. The stories were great. We had a blast! Can’t wait to go back with our sons.

We went to Libads last night after seeing the episode of Bar Rescue. I have to be honest… the food was SPECTACULAR. We ordered the garlic knots and the Bourbon BBQ Pizza. Both were absolutely spectacular. They still have all of the cocktails that they featured on the show (we tried the one with Captain Morgan, and it was delicious), and the bartenders also recommended specific shots (the Breakfast shot and the Chocolate Covered Pretzel). Both were, again, delicious.
The service was good, and the bartender was very friendly. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect of a neighborhood bar… lots of regulars, and they are all like a family. The greatest surprise was that even though we were new, they accepted us right in as if we had been frequenting the bar for years. We felt right at home, had lots of fun with the staff and the regulars, and we can’t wait to go back tomorrow night for karaōke.
All in all, Libad’s is FANTASTIC. We frequent a lot of different bars, and this bar just raised the «bar» (no pub intended). We will be back tomorrow!

This bar caters to individuals with «Napoleonic complexes». Service was good until one of the little dudes at the bar felt threatened because his «Space was invaded». If you go there BEWARE of the corner of the bar next to the dance floor because a little dude resides there with his wife or girlfriend and he’ll get mad at you when he catches his wife checking you out. This little dude is very, VERY, BIZARRE… I’m not sure if he owns this place or not but he sure acted like he did!

Cold Beer and the pizza is phenomenal, I also recommend the garlic knots very delish
