About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for craft beers
  • Great for happy hour
Even though Post is a new name for most of us, it has been an important part of South Hamilton history since 1924. The historic building at 16 Bay Rd. was home to the South Hamilton Post Office, and a place for residents to send and pick up letters. In response to the Great Depression, and a drop in the postage rate (from three cents to 2 cents), the Postmaster added more opportunities for residents to pick up their mail. At Post, which at the time was known as “the brick block building”, letters were piled on a table, and a bell was rung to let residents know that they could come and retrieve their mail. Keeping with that tradition, guests of Post will have an opportunity to “Ring the Bell”, which signifies that they have bought a beer for our hard working kitchen and waitstaff. Whether you are coming in to dine with family and friends, grabbing a drink and an appetizer, or picking up takeout on the way home, Post is here for you – rain or shine.

    I hadn’t been to Post in a while, but I will certainly be dining there more frequently in the future. My family recently had dinner there, and in addition to the excellent, attentive service, every dish - whether appetizer or entree - was nothing short of excellent. We are looking forward to our next visit sometime soon.

    Atmosphere was fun and light. Food was deliciously - cut above comfy food - and the staff was friendly and courteous.

    Slow service. Had to ask for glasses and plates to be cleared. Had to physically walk up to the bar to get plates for our pizza because our waitress never returned. Love the food and glad it’s local but I’m sad to say the service was well below what I would expect from a well run restaurant. I say all this with the understanding that when a restaurant gets busy on a peak night service can be slower. Unfortunately we experienced this slow and unreliable service with a 5:30 reservation.

    We stopped into Post for a bite and some beers before a show at the North Shore Theater. It turned out to be a fortuitous choice. We sampled several appetizers and a fig and prosciutto pizza accompanied by several different beers. We plan to repeat our visit before the next show this season.

    The seared tuna tacos were FANTASTIC and the pot stickers were an excellent appetizer. Loved the beer choices, can't go wrong with Maine Lunch and Dinner.
