MoRE THAN A DIVE BAR:
WE’RE A WESTPoRT TRADITION

PULL UP A STOOL AND LET THE STORIES POUR.

OUR STORY

Ask anyone in town, and they’ll tell you: The Knotty Pine sits at the heart of Westport's dockside DNA.

We've anchored this fishing community for decades. Fishermen finishing long shifts, retirees grabbing lunch, couples sharing jello shots and clam strips. Everyone finds their spot here.

Come as you are. Our regulars know the rhythm, and newcomers catch on quick. Find your spot and join the conversation.

What We're Known For

Step inside and you'll feel it right away: this is a true Westport hangout. The Knotty Pine is known for its relaxed, no-pressure vibe. It's a place where locals and travelers hang out to catch the game, shoot pool, or warm up with a bowl of clam chowder after work. The menu delivers comfort without complication: French dip, hand-cut fries, creamy artichoke dip, classic grilled cheese with tomato soup. And with reasonably priced drinks, especially during Happy Hour (weekdays from 3 to 6pm), it's no surprise folks tend to linger a little longer.

COMMUNITY ROOTS

The Knotty Pine lives and breathes Westport.

We're proud members of the Westport-Grayland Chamber of Commerce because we believe in the businesses and neighbors who keep this community alive. Look around our walls to see decades of local charter boats and fishing crews who've made this place their second home.

Supporting Those Who Serve

Every Thursday, we honor all veterans with special pricing (Noon-3pm) because this community has always supported those who've served our country.

Where Stories Live

Three generations of families have celebrated, commiserated, and connected within these walls. The stories keep flowing, and new ones get written every day.

From The Management

“Our food is the best reason to come here.” — Laurie, Manager

We believe in simple principles: fair prices, full plates, cold beers, and treating people right. That’s why we never charge credit card fees, and it’s why you’ll always get service with personality plus a big smile.

Come See For Yourself

First time or fiftieth time, The Knotty Pine feels like coming home. We're not chasing trends or trying to impress anyone. We're being real, and in today's world, that stands out. Join us for breakfast, a B.L.T., or a beer and a story.
