JudithDecember 29, 2013Everything we ordered was delish. From the mac and cheese fritters, wasabi tuna tartare sandwich, local cheeseburger, to the pumpkin cake sundae. Even the Moscow Mules were made to perfection.
Daniel DelgadoDecember 5, 2014Great place for a bite & a drink. Nice variety of beers & spirits. Chat with Nathan, the bartender, for some uncommon libation knowledge.
Rue La LaSeptember 5, 2012Equal parts retro-industrial décor and Southern-comfort flair. Dishes are modern twists on our favorite bar classics and are all locally-sourced. Mac 'n' cheese fritters? Addicting.
Boston.comJanuary 4, 2012Southie has its own version of the British gastropub with the opening of Local 149. A massive bar anchors the room, while banquettes and cafe tables make it comfortable for families. Read more
Matthew CoolMarch 28, 2012Great place. The grass fed burger is the best in Southie. Their canned beer menu is better than most bars drink menus. Servers are top notch, I'm going to wear 149 out this summer
Dave UrsilloApril 21, 2011Never been here as Farragut House, but as Local 149. Restaurant/bar with a cool on tap selection of microbrews and foreign beers, gonna be a great summer spot near Castle Island and the beaches- Theresa IrvineSeptember 23, 2014Great food menu and cocktails. The Mac and Cheese fritters are a MUST!!
Great brunch spot. Definitely pricey, but they have some really unique selections. Also have pretty decent oysters and littlenecks, which is tough to find locally in Southie
- Matthew CoolJune 30, 2012You can't go wrong with either the shrimp tacos or the grass fed burger. Plus they have the finest selection of canned beer
- Ashley BNovember 20, 2014Great beer list and a friendly, noisy vibe. Delicious bar and snack food to boot!
Gilt CityDecember 22, 2011Communal tables, a wood-burning fireplace and sharable plates like charcuterie and cheese make this cozy eatery the perfect place to celebrate.
Mac and Cheese Fritters come with an amazing hot sauce/ketchup concoction that provides a great contrast to the cheesy inside. Also, great beers on tap!
Vinnie DaboulOctober 13, 2015Outstanding. Great food. Excellent beer prices. Outstanding price point.
Courtney MarkhamJanuary 14, 2017Over-salted, over-priced bar food. Go here to drink, not to eat. Had the Cajun crab special, salmon, papas tacos, french onion soup, and lastly the fluffer butternut desert. #gross
Annie MorganSeptember 24, 2012Delish drinks and food! Not a fan of how often I am in southie(family geographic choice) however this place is magical.
Scott ZakrajsekOctober 21, 2011Such a cool place but I think the fried pickles were designed for an infant. Ps, there's other fried things like carrots, cauliflower, and nonsense
Stephanie KrishnanJune 10, 2012Fin tuna burger with wasabi, eggplant, bacon on an English muffin with plantain chips on the side!!! Excellent
The Moscow Mule is still tits, but it's not in a copper mug anymore on account of people stealing them. Bastards.
One the best places to eat in Southie. Great selection of beers.
Try the hog wings and the buffalo and blue cheese waffle fries if they have them. Amazing!

MassimoSeptember 28, 2014Your neighborhood bar. The friendly staff make the beer selection even better.
Linda KoritkoskiOctober 13, 2011Fried Fluffernutters and an awesome ambiance. Sign me up any night of the week!
Marc Jacobs IntlApril 15, 2011Our favorite restaurant & bar in Southie! Mike the bartender makes the best Moscow Mule in Boston!
Great tap list. Shit, great beer list all around. Welcome addition to Southie.
Billy MillerMarch 27, 2012Get the pimento cheese fries! coming from a Southie native, they are amazing!
Benjamin DunlapJune 3, 2011Finally a spot for decent beer in southie. And they support local food too. Good job, guys
