“ An eclectic bar with a decent selection of New England craft beer on draft and in cans/bottles. Solid service and a fun clientele that really bring the place together. A beer mecca and a must visit. The grilled cheese ain't half bad either. ”
“ This is a unique place. It's a long, bowling alley of a bar with tons of seating. (Forget the metaphor: it really is right next to a bowling alley.) The food is creative takes on bar fare, such as tots and dips or veggie chili dogs on sourdough "buns." There is a turntable playing records the staff loves. (Blondie is on now.) Try the Wheel of Indecision for your drink order, but accept the consequences. And enjoy the poetry and art on the walls. (No Canada haters in here.) TVs are even non-monotheistic: Red Sox on one, Alladin on the other two. Five stahs. ”
“ The name says it all. Exit one of Boston’s most expensive areas to shop and live and enter into a World Class level beer/dive bar! The Bartender was also the DJ and kept the place bumping, the food was super tasty and the customers very ... ”
“ Love this pub/tavern! Absolute gem with delicious food, a full bar, including beer tap and wine. The service was excellent! The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable and had a Boston charm. I enjoyed the chicken, Caesar wrap and wine. Next time I’ll definitely come for an ale. Great atmosphere, great food, great service, the perfect combination! ”
“ Great little indy bar with a slight English pub vibe. Fantastic varied selection of local draught beer, bartender provided great recommendations. Food also excellent - loved the tater tots! ”
“ I am from LA, so spotting the name of an LA icon was irresistible. Fun, hipster fantasy of a dive bar, but that’s OK in the pretentious Back Bay.I had a draft Pabst (my sainted Father’s favorite) and tater tots. It was good. Good retro soundtrack for what that is worth and loads of curious “flair” on the walls. ”
“ Delicious food, beer, amazing staff and proprietors! ”
“ Stumbled onto this spot & it was great! The atmosphere, food, prices & service by Jim was amazing. Next time we visit Boston, this will be our goto spot. ”
