About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
We’re so excited to bring Whalers to Bay Shore and share our love of amazing food and great drinks with the community. Our menu is modern American cuisine, so you’ll find the classics that you’re used to but with our own little spin. In addition to our casual dining and nightlife, we also offer full catering services. With huge windows and views of the Great South Bay, Whalers will be the perfect location to host your next event!

We will do our best to accommodate your requests, but we cannot guarantee where you will be seated. Additionally, reservations are unavailable for dockside dining, as outdoor tables are first come first serve.

Whalers is modern and fresh with a nod to what it’s like growing up on the Great South Bay. Located right in the middle of the action down on Maple Ave, we are looking forward to getting customers who live locally, but also those who are heading over to Fire Island.

We look forward to serving you!

    Whalers never disappoints! Drinks were great. I had the special Margarita which was delicious so I had two! We got the Feta appetizer. Great to have an appetizer that is something different and not fried. We all shared it and everyone loved it. I ordered the Shrimp Parpedella and it was flavorful with plenty shrimp. I couldn't finish it so I had it for lunch. Sitting outside is so welcome after the winter. This is one of my favorite restaurants.
