How about trying the Salt Kitchen and Rum Bar located at One Market Street in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

| Quaint location in downtown Ipswich, Massachusetts |
A good friend of mine and I were looking for something different to do for a bite to eat and a drink – she suggested this new place in Ipswich that she heard great things about – what a great tip! The Salt Kitchen and Rum Bar did not disappoint.
We took two seats at the bar and were warmly greeted by Stephanie, our bartender – she was so very welcoming and talked with each of us about what our tastes were and made some great suggestions. I tried the Haymaker – a house favorite made of Privateer Cask rum, muddled lemons, dark molasses, cane syrup & ginger beer – it was wonderful! No wonder it is a favorite.
Now onto the food – wow! We were looking for some lite fare to share – an appetizer or two – we went with these Lobster Wellington Bites – 2 incredible puff pastries loaded with fresh lobster, grilled corn and brie cheese – we each had one – perfect for sharing & very filling! We also sampled the Crispy Pork Tacos, which had pork belly, caramelized onion, chipotle crema, pico de gallo and salsa verde – 3 generous tacos – also a great choice for sharing.
So there you have it – an incredible atmosphere, friendly staff, original drinks and appetizers – we’re getting together there again soon. Hope to see you there!
