Inn on the Blues

Inn on the Blues is a restaurant and bar in downtown York Beach that serves seafood and grilled dinners, including lobster mac and cheese, baked haddock, grilled salmon, and lobster and shrimp scampi over linguini. Its beach baskets of fried seafood are a casual favorite. The building dates to the late 1800s, and it has long hosted live music, from jazz and blues to rock and roll.

The restaurant does not take reservations, so plan on walking in. It is open daily from 11:30 am to 1 am, with the kitchen closing at 9 pm. Private functions can be booked through the inn, which also has rooms for overnight guests. Gift cards are sold on the website. The address is 7 Ocean Avenue, a short walk from the beach.
