James Moreau-DrewDecember 4, 2016Best for beer variety in Allston (though have cut back in recent years 😣). Beers are ordered by style which is great. Also, nachos are number bang for your buck anywhere I know of.
Roze MerryAugust 4, 2012They have insanely good nachos. And big portions. If u have a big group of people, get the full portion, but if its just 2 ppl, get the half portion unless u r really hungry or plan on leftovers.
Boston.comDecember 13, 2012Sunset is your best option for the biggest, best selection of beers on tap, and the 350-bottle list is nuts. If you’re looking to try as many new beers as possible, this is the place. Read more
Everyone talks about the nachos (and rightfully so, they are amazing, don't miss them), but the pulled pork (in many different variations) shouldn't be missed. Get it on a quesadilla!
Mary ReynoldsMarch 28, 2012If you are a craft beer lover, you just entered your mecca. Largest selection of beers on tap (over 100) and even more available by the bottle. The beer menu is your beer bible. Enjoy.
The FeastJune 6, 2011Probably the best beer list in town, which means you'll run into plenty of beer geeks ordering rare brews. Get the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA and you'll fit right in. Good for late night visits.
Jaein NhaMay 21, 2015Beer haven. Also, amazing nachos and burritos. Pretty much can't go wrong here. There's something for every person in yur crowd.
Your Town Allston-BrightonMarch 6, 2013The Allston Theatre once stood next to Sunset Grill & Tap's building. Opening in 1913, it was intended for stage performances but was adapted into a motion picture house. It was demolished in 1965. Read more

kevin mcgroryMay 5, 2013Try the Swordfish Burger, Glazed With Cheddar Cheese And Sour Cream Fries - For reals, your mouth will love you for putting this in your food hole and chewing the hell out of it.
Merlin CaloApril 30, 2012Good selection of brown beers for the times I have been. I like the DogFish Head Palo Santo Marron, and Clown Shoes. One of the better selection of beers on tap I have seen in Boston.
Chris JonesNovember 19, 2013Try a flight! You get to try four beers off of their IMMENSE list of beers on tap. Best way to try new brews!
Order off the brunch menu! It comes with a free Bloody Mary or mimosa and the Benedicts are to die for!!!
Andrew PucciMay 12, 2017The beer selection here is probably the best I've seen in Boston. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it!
Hector M.January 29, 2016The food is really good and the drinks too, i recommend this place to everyone. Everything is good here!!!!
Nicole MerrittAugust 8, 2012Wander down further West and eat at Sunset Grill & Tap over Sunset Cantina. Don't forget to try a BU favorite: Triple XXX nachos (and there's takeout!)
Ilana FriedDecember 31, 2011Best nachos ever. Skip out on the lettuce, it gets in the way. Also get the guac/sour cream/salsa on the side so you can evenly distribute as much or as little as you want- Nicole MerrittAugust 12, 2012Wander down further West and eat at Sunset Grill & Tap over Sunset Cantina. Don't forget to try the nachos, a BU favorite (and there's takeout!)
Dana JensenMay 30, 2015Those nachos are insane. I was stuffed on way less than half of the half order of the cheeseburger nachos. No regrets. Good deal on the flights.
Andy BurgessDecember 3, 2016Good range of beers. Service could have been a touch quicker, but they make up for that with their friendly nature.
Su ParkDecember 20, 2015Blueberry beer, spinach artichoke dip, and nachos - feels like everything great about college again - large portions!
Janel DubeMay 17, 2012Caitlyn P. was an attentive, friendly, knowledgable sever. The Isaac's Sparkling Pomegranate Mead on tap is too die for; I recommended it to all the champagne lovers of the world.
Joseph WilliamsNovember 4, 2013If you have a chance, chat at the bar with the bartenders and watch them try to find an obscure beer in the fridge. It's hilarious.
Steph KatrinaFebruary 22, 2016Huge beer selection. Their mystery bottle selection is fun. Amazing, huge nachos.
Bonnie BurgessJune 16, 2015Nachos and great pulled pork. Loved the sweet potato wedges with a heavenly honey mustard dipping sauce!
Eric OSeptember 30, 2013If you can't decide on a brew, check the inside of the drinks menu for a selection of flights which allow the sampling of four beers.
Get the sliders, the raspberry swordfish, the mud pie and OMG the porters, stouts, and meads.
Amy ElizabethSeptember 27, 2014Nice, causal atmosphere. Good for meeting with friends. Great selection of gluten free ciders/beers
The beer selection here is unreal. There's something for everyone. The fajitas are also great!
Brittany OakesSeptember 28, 2014Split the quesadilla (pulled pork) and an order of buffalo wings. Extensive beer list and never a disappointment!
Crystal BeaucheminJanuary 10, 2015Huge menu of over 300 beers. It's amazing and the food is pretty good too!
The Boston bruchetta pizza will never let you down. The crust is amazing, and there's plenty to share after loading up on the best nachos.
Chris BakerAugust 11, 2015Beer selection and service is unmatched. Try the bbq pork quesadilla and a double IPA
Great beer menu- seriously anything you could possibly want. Make a flight to try 4 different beers, and get the pulled pork nachos- deeeelicious!
Start your Friday with one of our many winter seasonal beers! I recommend the Anderson Valley Winter Solstice, or one of the Belgian Holiday beers!
Dan ValenOctober 10, 2012The bartender tells me they serve the largest selection of mead in the world. If you're a beginner, start with the "Viking's Blood."- Chris JonesNovember 17, 2011The Sunset is awesome, try a flight ( to take advantage of the great beer selection! ) or the nachos...but be careful, they're HUGE.
Keith SatherAugust 28, 2011Tasting flights are not limited to the predefined ones on the menu - they'll make a flight out of anything on tap, just ask. Great way to sample 10+ beers at a time!
Over a hundred beers on tap and decent, affordable food. What more do you need?
Hundreds of beers available here in every style. Can't decide? Try a flight of four.
Come on day shift and see Elanie. Her knowledge is awesome and she will find a beer for your taste. Love her!- Don't sleep on the PB&J -- grilled on Texas toast. OMG.
Brad SlavinJune 4, 2014Want a beer you've never had before? Come here. Then repeat 300 times. Biggest beer selection I've ever seen.
To echo Billy J., nachos are the Best in Boston hands down. They do a nacho style Spinach and Artichoke dip too with the dip on top of a pile of pita chips, also worth checking out.

"Really nice venue! Little sound treatment, so bring your earplugs (just in case). Multiple bars, and some pool tables. $10 margarita, but it was a fairly large drink, so it was worth it!"
