About Scull & Keel
Fish House and Spirits on the Charles
Welcome to Scull & Keel Fish House & Spirits. Evolving from ArtBar, we draw from two boats of balance: the sleek, precise scull of the Head of the Charles Regatta and the steady keel that endures storms—mirroring The Royal Sonesta Boston’s 62-year legacy.

Our Name:
Balance & Energy
The scull brings swift, precise movement like rowers powering through the Head of the Charles. The keel offers grounding stability in the strongest winds. Together, they reflect the hotel’s enduring role in Cambridge while infusing fresh energy into East Cambridge dining.
