South Coast Improvement Co.

Scope Of Work

South Coast Improvement finished construction of the Moby Dick Brewing Company pub and restaurant in early 2017. The brewery/bistro sits at the intersection of Union and Water streets in the City’s historic district– diagonally across the intersection from the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

Prior to construction, the 4,300-square-foot-facility was an eye sore, an abandoned property in an area crying out for revitalization. South Coast improvement gutted and transformed the property into a 10-barrel brewery operation with seating for 100 patrons in a bistro and bar area.

Playing on a Herman Melville’s epic novel, the brewery features such frosty libations as Ishm-ale Ale, Stove Boat Dry Irish Stout and Simple Sailor American Lager. From a culinary standpoint, patrons can enjoy simple dishes with a local flair – including salt cod chowder, sweet potato and apple soup and pan-seared scallops.

The Moby Dick Brewing Company is the first of several South Coast Improvement projects in the Union/Water Street area. Others include a 66- room hotel and an office building.
