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.

Really fabulous food in a festive setting with attentive and professional staff. 80% of the menu is Gluten Free or has a GF option. Terrific because I need to eat GF. My wife does not and she had the mushroom parpadelle and loved it. We've been several times and have always enjoyed. If you are on Rt. 1 North and looking for a great meal - give Ithaki a try. You'll be glad you did.

Very fun neighborhood bar. I love the vibe, the crowd (very welcoming, lots of young people there and then us in our 50's rounding out the older crowd!). Server was great and we ended up there on Drag Trivia night which was a blast! Good food and good prices. Definitely a great addition to Salem!!
