Dan FogartyMarch 11, 2015The scotch egg is great. So is the burger. But the deep fried mars bar is truly what will make the bad Tinder date worth it.
- ChrisMay 22, 2015Best Bloody Mary I've found. Fantastic burger. Check out the live music and decent food. Great for small groups.
Yu-MeiApril 29, 2021The fish supper, burger and vegetarian curry are all great! Save space for the sticky toffee pudding - and a Scotch or Scottish beer, of course.
CarolAugust 10, 2020Nice Scottish restaurant with outdoor seating. The owner, Jason, is so welcoming and the drinks/ food are class👌🏼
Erica AyotteAugust 17, 2011Dark and cozy, this is a great cold weather spot. The blood sausage and scallops were amazing. Every Wednesday they host a fry--don't forget to add your two cents to the deep fried suggestion box.
Alexandra SmithFebruary 27, 2017Came here for my birthday, and it did not disappoint. The fish and chips were excellent, but I need to go back for the live music!
Thaddeus WalcottJanuary 14, 2023I’m Scottish and it’s the only place I can get haggis without the hassle of making it myself. Therefore the Haven is forever in my heart.
The Next Great Generation (Boston)January 20, 2012The Haven boasts an impressive beer list, authentic Scottish food (for better or worse), and a packed events schedule: trivia on Mondays, movies on Tuesdays, and music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Read more
The burger is fantastic, but so is the rest of the menu. Total gem for the neighborhood.
Eye morelandJanuary 21, 2016Get the scotch egg!! Chicken sausage and the fried mars bar. Sadly no near scotch here yet as the only have cordial license.
Max SaberDecember 22, 2014The vegetarian sampler is great! It's a simple dish and I wish it was available at other restaurants!
Yeva KNovember 10, 2012Great cocktails, unique food and awesome atmosphere. They've made really good improvements since their opening 2 yrs ago.
Boston PhoenixSeptember 2, 2010It's not light, but it can be delicious, even the legendary haggis and neeps,somewhat Americanized here. And it works equally well as bar snacks or a three-course gastropub special. Read more
Claire BarrettMay 5, 2014Great Scottish style food. Lovely and helpful staff. Loved the fishcakes with eggs (fried not poached).
Virginia UrdanetaMay 9, 2016Andy was our bartender and he was great! Gave us great tips on what to order and about Boston.
Julie H.February 11, 2011Jason makes you feel like you're at home. Stop in to say hi, have a pint and order the Haven Burger. It's the best burger I've ever had.
Jason FairMay 19, 2012One of my favorite places..anywhere. A very warm and friendly place. Try the Haddie Croquettes.- Raymond StockwellOctober 20, 2013Haggis is mhath. If they have the curried rabbit on the menu you have to try it!
The Burns Suppers are going to be great this year. Craft beer tastings, special menu, piper, singers, dancers, VIBE!!!! Read more
Pat AddamsSeptember 5, 2014If you can drink 5 Belhaven ales in 20 minutes you get a free deep fried Mars bar
Mr. NealNovember 2, 2012Scottish egg. GET IT. Finish it off with the Fried Mars Bar. You'll thank me later.
This place is awesome. Beer selection=fantastic. The fish cakes and breakfast sandwich are just off the chain.
The Haven is now open for coworking, Monday thru Friday after 12 noon. Free wifi. Free coffee.
Jessica HiemenzApril 3, 2013Only vegan option (and vegetarian entree) is the veggie plate where you pick 3 veg sides for $13.
The best burger in boston... a million times better then grass fed.- Great spot for coworking, M-F after 12 noon. Free wifi. Free coffee.
Max LuckeySeptember 29, 2010Somewhat Americanised haggis, but good nevertheless! Has the standard Scottish beers. Steak and ale pie leaves something to be desired though... Greens in it?! Get the haggis instead!
Mike McGloneMay 24, 20115AM Saint, Scotch Egg and Deep Fried Mars Bar...you will hate yourself the next day but its amazing.
If you've never tried haggis, this is the place to do it! Also, the house made ketchup and mined mush peas are awesome.
Don't be afraid of the haggis - it's really good. Stop in, order and beer and say hi to Jason behind the bar.
