“Last dive in town, with the best live music around”
29 Locust St. Falmouth, Ma 02540 | The Grump phone: 508-540-3930.
Grumpys is “The quintessential dive bar”… just consult the reviews on Trip Advisor!
Party time! This bar was the funnest place I’ve been to in years. They had live music going and lots of dancing! A complete mix of locals and vacationers creates an extremely friendly and welcoming vibe. All ages. All types. They have pool tables as well though we were having too much fun to play. Late night blast.
This is a VERY cool bar!! The outside is very misleading… the chewed up parking lot and bumpy drive in, no windows, piled up outdoor furniture, maybe even some trash… blow by it all and enjoy a very cool, inside party land!!
Pool tables, great sign filled interior, cocktailing booths, good size stage. Pleasant staff, flat TVs spread about, and probably some of the cheapest beer pint prices, for only being a few blocks off Main Street, Falmouth.

Event Details
“Come for the ribs…Stay for the music!” Get your wristbands today for the South Shore’s premier amateur rib competition and fundraiser featuring live music, raffle, and fun for the whole family!
The Marshfield Community Rib Cook-off [MCRCO] is a family-oriented fun-filled event supporting charitable organizations who embody the MCRCO’s mission to support local youth and families facing economic hardship and food and housing insecurity. Three thousand+ BBQ enthusiasts gather at the Marshfield Fairgrounds in mid September each year. Teams fire up their smokers as early as 5am that morning and prepare their highly curated rubs and sauces aimed at wowing our judge panel comprised of culinary experts and community celebrities who know a thing or two about great ribs!
While ribs are the main event, there’s so much more – including live music and fun for the whole family! The event features live music from Cindy Lou Music whose sultry and smoky (pun intended) sounds will emanate from the main stage; Duxbury-based upbeat cover band Despite Dwight; and local acoustic legend Jimmy Sylvia. The kids enjoy the annual Touch a Truck event and backyard games.
