Craig DesmaraisSeptember 16, 2014Smallish bar with a lively afterwork crowd. Great before a show at the Orpheum. The only place in Boston where you can have a Sam Adams across from his grave.
Kara OvercasherNovember 3, 2012Great place! Reminds us of a few hometown pubs in Cleveland!!! Asked if they would have the browns game on an didn't get a snappy witty comment back!!! We will definitely be in to watch our browns!!!Upvoted Dec 14, 2024
Julie ColganJuly 17, 2013Get the nachos with chili - they're epic! But don't touch the top plate because it'll burn flesh in a millisecond. You've been warned.
Noah Ford-DunkerFebruary 9, 2016Great place to have a drink downtown Boston, the music was just aweful when we were there. Grab a Sam Adams and look across the street at Sam Adams grave.
🌎 JcB 🌎December 28, 2014Popular with tourists right next to Suffolk University, Boston Common, The Freedom Trail, Granary Burial Ground (Paul Revere and other notable dead people). Good beer and service.
Ericka SchumacherMay 26, 2014Probably one of the most underrated lobster roll in Boston. It is literally a whole lobster and not weighed down with mayo. Sooooo delicious!
Ryan HebdaJune 15, 2014They serve a handful of Sam Adams beers that you can only get in Boston, including one they brew specifically for the pub. Server with a Scottish accent...yep :-)
Dermot makes the bloody mary mix from scratch (the secret ingredient is A1 sauce!). Nothing like a grilled cheese at 12:55- they serve till 1am!
Paul HeadleyOctober 12, 2015This would be my neighborhood bar if I lived downtown. Typical bar fare, but the beers are where it's at.
Paul RobinsonNovember 10, 2013Good food and fun people there if you have a sandwich share it because it big and good way to save money
Tunnel past the bar, down to the pool tables, and up to the other side. Usually way less crowded there.
Andrew BurgessMarch 28, 2015The BBQ Wings here have a little bit of a spicy kick to them, love them :-)
The chicken burger is Devine and Bonnie is absolutely the beat bar tender in the world!!!
The only place in the world you can enjoy a cold Sam Adams in front of a cold Sam Adams!
William TurkOctober 14, 2011Mike the bartender is a solid guy- knows the menu, great service and provides great recs for places to go in the area
Sumner VanderhoofDecember 29, 2012This is not a hot night spot. If you stay there till closing they have a "freeze out" where they open all the windows and doors in the middle of winter and try to kick you out. Very aggressive people
TJ McDonaldAugust 20, 2014I saw zombie Sam Adams across the street and came here for cover. However, I found myself surrounded by more Sam Adams. I CAN'T ESCAPE! !!
Ro FloApril 7, 2013Btw: We're in the Beantown Pub right now. And they are blasting the Thong Song at top volume.
Adrian JohnsonJune 6, 2011Try the The Paul Reevere - A pastrami sandwich. It was delicious. With a side of baked bean it was a perfect Boston treat.
Foxytk23August 2, 2013Went here when I was in college. Will the bartender is great. Tell him "to cream sent u!!"
Try the sweet potato fries but ask for the side! If you get the full order it's like $7 but the side is more than enough for only $2.50.
Alexandra McKirkzzFebruary 18, 2012Lobster Roll is outstanding! Plus you can have a cold Sam Adams across from THE cold Sam Adams!
Maria MorrisJuly 12, 2011Try the bean dip if seeking an app to share. Breakfast and bloody marys also available any day of the week.
Jason BoucherNovember 19, 2011Enjoy a Sam Adams on tap while looking at the resting place of our great patriot and brewer!
Dana Worby-RobinsonMarch 20, 2014If you need to charge your phone, electronic outlets are only behind the bar.
Mark BatesApril 7, 2010The Paul Revere sandwich is just insane. Pastrami & corned beef. Amazing. Becareful though they charge for soda refills which is a bit cheap if you ask me. They should be free.

"Great venue for shows, no bad seats in the house and it's beautiful from floor to ceiling. Beer prices are a bit crazy so have a few before you arrive!!!"
Patrick Pease - 9.5
"Really nice park to visit although quite small in size. It's haunted as well so you might see some friendly spirits!"
Hayley Cooper - 8.2
"Great theatre. Wheelchair accessible with an elevator to the other level. Helpful staff and clean areas also. I'd recommend."
