Dining out with friends can foster healthy relationships that might otherwise be limited to impersonal group texts or overly personal bathtime visits. Get a bite in person with a person with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of grill fare at Ship's Pub. This deal is valid for meals after 5 p.m. only.

At Ship's Pub, friends and neighbors gather for fun feastings from a menu of mouthwatering seafood, hearty hamburgers, and delicious grill fare. Steamed littleneck clams ($10.99) daydream about concealing their flaws beneath thick scarves as they lounge in garlic-white-wine broth, and wings ($8.99) electrify various regions of the tongue with zesty flavors, including lemon pepper, barbecue, and teriyaki. Meaty pub burgers ($8.99) flaunt 8 ounces of grilled beef chaperoned by an entourage of lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese, and main courses, such as the glazed bourbon sirloin ($18.99) or seafood lasagna ($17.99), combine flavors of land and sea in an unholy union of deliciousness. As guests rigorously chew every bite 30 times, they can ogle the venue's nautical-theme décor, which consists of old naval charts, ships' wheels, and mythical Sirens covering '80s power ballads.
