About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
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!

    10/10 experience. It was very busy but the service was excellent. Felt bad I had to keep asking our server to repeat himself because it was so loud in there! But I will absolutely be back!

    Management seemed more interested in rearranging the tables while drinks sat at the bar. Received food before drinks. Fra Diavlo was a bad marinara sauce with no spice. Terrible service. Tacky Christmas lights all over.
