🏆 Bartender of the Week
Popeye

📍 Pratty’s Bar | Gloucester, MA

😎 Why They Deserve a Bartender Shoutout:
Folks around the pier call him Popeye. He holds down the bar at Pratty’s, a true local gem for commercial fishermen, veterans, and anyone who appreciates a cold beer that hits just right. Before finding his place behind the bar, Popeye was a documentary filmmaker, and maybe that’s what gives him such a deep appreciation for the people and stories that make Pratty’s what it is.

A day at Pratty’s is like traveling around the world without ever leaving your barstool. The laughter, the lessons, and the life stories shared here could fill a dozen documentaries. Popeye says you could listen to a thousand stories in this place and still only scratch the surface of a deep ocean of friendship, humor, and love. Pratty’s proudly supports local fishing and local drinking, hand in hand. The catch of the day here isn’t from the sea, it’s the coldest beer in town 🤘🍺

🎯 Fun Fact:
Kenny Chesney filmed his “Knowing You” music video at Pratty’s, giving this beloved dive bar its moment on the big screen.
