The Walrus story began in 2013 with with the desire to offer a truly unique American experience from the mastery of southern-inspired smoking techniques to our hand-selected craft beers, wines and liquors. The original Walrus + Carpenter was serving the artistic community of Black Rock, Connecticut for 7 years. Since then, Walrus Alley has opened in Westport, Connecticut, offering Southern hospitality to the area.
True to the American experience, Walrus is an independent, family-owned and operated establishment. Owner, Joseph Farrell grew up in Westport, went to Fairfield Prep, and continues to be a proud member of the Connecticut-community.
