In the Mood for Burgers and Cold Beer? Visit:
The Brotherhood of Thieves | 23 Broad St, Nantucket | (508) 228-2551
Simply known as "The Brotherhood," this Nantucket favorite is the meeting spot for friends visiting the island. The original barroom, opened in 1972, is the coziest of the dining areas, with low ceilings, dark wood, and two fireplaces.
