McChouffe is almost always on tap and is always delightful. Frites with chipotle mayo are a must.
Monk's Frites are great. Beer selection is excellent. Veggie Burger is good too, but get toppings (avocado, cheese, grilled onions) or it's super plain.
Toni PAugust 1, 2013Dare I say the best burger in the Boston area? I can't even drink beer and I love this place.
The best restaurant made mac-n-cheese you will ever have, never a dull beer moment. Go early weeknights. The weekend crowd causes an unfortunate wait and not much room to order while-you-wait drinks.
- Chris DMarch 30, 2013Add some jalapeños with your mussel pot for some great spice (and not super hot)
If you like Guinness then try the O'Hara's on draft! Same type of Irish Stout but with 100x more flavor than Guinness - and Guinness is/was my favorite beer.
Sean FitzroyJuly 13, 2009Get the bucket of mussels #1 (basic) and #4 (corn and bacon) are awesome, #3 (garlic bread crumbs + cheese + spinach) is a little too flyover state.
Eric JohnsonJanuary 1, 2017Watch out for when they poor your $15 beer that's supposed to be 11oz in a 8.5 oz glass. Called the waiter out on this and the bartender, waiter, and owner treated me like I was shit.
- Go to the Publick House for the best Belgian beer bar in Boston, by far. Enjoy a beer with the frites, a cheese plate, or the mac & cheese.
- James RussellApril 29, 2010Go to Publick House and pick from the Outstanding beer menu. The Mac and Cheese with Andouille Sausage and Spinach was fantastic.
Fitz MaroMay 27, 2011Grab the mac & cheese- you and your date will orgasm accordingly. Also good, their mens bathroom graffiti
Sandy CohenSeptember 29, 2011Appetizer size mussels are a great value! And Pot 2 was pretty darn tasty.
A truly inspired craft beer list with delicious food and comfortable decor. An instant favorite.
Let just say, I can't never order anything else other than Mac & Cheese. Who could resist 5 magical cheeses blend!!!! It's bloody delicious.
schneidermike schneidermikeAugust 15, 2011One thing they are known for is Belgian and Belgian style.
Everything is good but the Mac and cheese is out of this world!
the best Mac n cheese in town. you can,t go wrong with O'hara on draft
Might be the best burger I've ever had. Get it with blue cheese, and medium rare
Ken MaddefordAugust 28, 2010Hands down best beer joint in town! Grab some fries with garlic dip too!!
Rob SheppardJuly 25, 2010The Lost Sailor Nitro IPA is exceptional. Perfect for a hot summer evening.
Love the cheese, beer & the frites. You can't go wrong here, but don't expect to sit down on the weekends!
Erica AyotteDecember 31, 2010cider lovers: try the dupont French cidre. Imported cider is a much more dry than commercial American brands.
