On the North East River at the top of the Chesapeake Bay in North East, the Nauti-Goose is the upper Bay’s most beloved waterfront bar and restaurant — a sprawling deck overlooking the river where live music, cold drinks, and fresh crabs have been drawing boaters and road-trippers for decades. The name is perfect; the execution is consistent; and the North East River setting on a warm summer evening with a cold beer and a bushel of crabs is one of the Chesapeake Bay’s genuine pleasures.
