Great lunch specials during the week. Fantastic buffalo chicken sandwich. Great food, large portions & reasonable prices. Have some great bands & djs on the weekends at night.

TERRIBLE!
I don't know where begin to explain how much I HATED this place. After spending all day at the beach yesterday with friends we went over to Venus for some drinks and food. The restaurant was not out of control busy but I was told they were short staffed.
Right off the bat, our waitress was one of the rudest humans I have encountered. You know how dull waitresses kind of let off a bad vibe... well this waitress was dull plus a HUGE B****. Any question we asked she would give a snippy remark back (i.e asking about drink price) as if we should know the whole menu by heart.
20 minutes later we got our drink and ordered food. We were a group of 8 but we were all couples who shared a plate so it was really only 4 orders. It took about 45 minutes to get our food, not really out of the ordinary. She put all our food on the table and walked away. Not gave each individual their food, just all of it on the table.
Finally, she handed us our bills and we all paid and left. I look at my bill today, this waitress charged me $10.00 ( my original bill total) and then another charge for $14.00 giving HERSELF a $4.00 tip when I left her $2.00 (still a 20% regardless of her terrible service because she was having a bad day). ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.
Would be an awesome place if the manager would hire so real waitresses. I am calling the manager today to see what they will do about the bill. Hopefully that goes better than this experience. -

Spent a Saturday at the beach, and walked over to the Venus II afterwards for some grub. Sat outside on the second desk, and caught the some of the sox game. I had a cup a chowder, and it was great. Nice, thick and creamy , with lots of potatoes and diced clams. Had a nice bacon flavor as well, and came with garlic bread! Very similar to the Cabbyshack in plymouth. My tuna sandwich was alright, but the real star was the boyfriend's fired clam plate. Numerous plump bellies, and batter was nice and not too crumbly.
The staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful in giving us directions home to beat traffic!! -

I miss the original Venus with the warped floors and crooked booths. Even remember the pinball machine in the early days at the old Venus. Place has changed since the sons took it over. Do not bother with the pizza anymore but they still make an awesome Italian spukie!

This is a great bar for the beach area of Ocean Bluff and an okay restaurant. The bar pizza is quite good and reminiscent of Poopsie's without the long wait.
They have trivia night here which can be fun and the drinks are very reasonably priced.
The seafood platter is a let down in comparison to Haddad's. If you want seafood go to Haddad's. If you want bar food and booze on the cheap go the Venus II.
Note that you can't see the ocean from Venus' 2nd floor. I've never been to the top floor because it's always closed. -

Keep in mind that I am reviewing Venus II s a restaurant, not as a bar. I have heard good things about it as a bar; during the early evening, my parents regularly patronize it with a large group of friends that they have met there, and later at night I've heard that it is a lot of fun.
But I digress. Today, I ate lunch here. I ordered the Fish and Chips of the lunch special menu, which was fine. It was a generous portion for the price, but it wasn't great. It had very little flavor and came only with seasoned fries, which are odd-tasting.
On other occasions, I've also gotten pizza here; I love the crust, but the pizzas are somewhat inconsistent.
The service was quick and friendly. -

Went last night for some drinks. I grew up on the South Shore but I've lived more or less in Boston for the last five years, so I know next to nothing about the nightlife in the area.
Venus is located right next to the beach, and you can hear the waves from the awesome outside deck they have. It must be beautiful mid-summer. The downstairs level has a huge central bar with great bartenders. They were attentive, friendly, and remembered my name and that I had a tab open after only speaking to me twice. When I opened my tab, they gave my credit card back to me, which I thought was strange. Maybe it's a South Shore thing?
I had two Tequila Sunrises for $11 which is fantastic, and the DJ played some amazing reggaeton (I'm a redheaded Latina, we're a rare bread). But UPSTAIRS was a Jimmy Buffet cover band...that's when I had to deduct a star, or two, or three. At least I got a lei out of the deal.
Overall I had a good enough time, the people in the bar were fun and I got to dance around and drink the drinks. But I gave Venus two stars because it was a $10 cover. In Marshfield. That's outrageous, I don't even pay that in Boston! So if they lower the price and it's a gorgeous summer day, I would think about stopping by again.Listed in: If you get lost in the South…

The Venus II is a fun time in the summer. I'm not a big fan of their $5 cover charge for a small town bar, but it could be worse. It's not like Boston where you pay $5 for every beer, domestic bottles are only $3. The crowd is mostly a younger group, with a few older locals thrown in on a weekend night. My buddies and I just hang out on the deck and enjoy the weather and the sites and sounds.
As far as the food goes, I'd just stick with pizza here. It's not quite as good as the Venus in Whitman, but they are close.
If you do come here and you drive make sure you sober up by the end of the night. I know that is a no brainah, you should never drive drunk but there are only two roads out of Marshfield. You either have to go South down a dark rt. 139, or North on a light straight rt. 139. So either keep a D/D or start drinking water an hour or two before you go. -

Just stopped in mid-week with friends to try their lunch specials ($5.99 for your choice of Fish & Chips, a small pizza, an all white-meat tuna salad, burger & fries, soup & salad etc.). Nice surprise! All four of our orders were very good. Large portions, well received by everyone.
Skip the pinot noir (by the glass) -not so hot. Chardonnay was fine. One of their $2- 16 oz. Buds would've been a good bet. We'll be back, now that we know the way. -n.b. did a Bud draught next visit, and "all is well" Good meal, good deal... -

After a not too relaxing day at the beach complete with hours of traffic and a dog peeing on our stuff, we decided to try Venus II for dinner hoping to salvage the trip. The staff were great. The bartender was prompt and friendly, the hostess was on the ball. We waited about a half hour in order to sit out on the deck. Big mistake. Apparently they allow all the other people who are waiting for tables to just hang out on the deck. There was a whole family with 4 kids squealing and staring at us while we ate - the dad talking loudly on the cell phone and blowing smoke at us. Several groups of people seemed to be swarming around us willing us to eat and get out so they could have our table. Then as dusk came, it became apparent that Venus II is a biker hang out. Who knew? Several loud bikes pulled up and people filed in. Only one biker came out onto the patio to keep watch for other passing motorcyclists who may not know that Venus II is biker heaven. He would flag them down with a piercing whistle and wave and yell to them. Whoever Pickles is must be awesome because he was REALLY excited to see him. "PICKLES! PICKLES!!!! OVER HERE, PICKLES!!! COME ON IN!!!" The biker stopped to comment on my food on his way out - "That's a big sandwich! Are you going to eat all that?? Next time get the Captain's Platter." Words of wisdom I thought I would pass on. Enjoy!!
