Our Story

More than a bar —
it's a tradition

Ultra Marine Band Club has been a cornerstone of the New Bedford music scene for years. What started as a humble gathering spot for locals who love live music has grown into one of the South Coast's most beloved venues.

We believe in keeping it real — great sound, cold drinks, friendly faces, and a vibe that feels like home. Whether you're here for the music, the company, or just a quiet drink before the band starts, there's a place for you here.
