Bill Bartilson JrAugust 12, 2013Bangers and mash is fabulous. Lobster roll also excellent. Also the vegetable I got was pumpkin. Who serves pumpkin? These guys do and it's out of this world great.Upvote4Downvote
Brian KenyonApril 30, 2015Take a tour of the Sam Adams brewery and get a free glass if you tell them you came from there. There's an awesome party bus tour of Boston that leaves there at 4pm. They will drop you off in bostonUpvoteDownvote
Jennifer WilburnAugust 21, 2013After the Sam Adams brewery tour, show your ticket and buy any Sam Adams to get a free beer glass. Try the specialty Sam Adams Nitro; it's like drinking a beer milkshake. Amazing!

Men's Health MagNovember 8, 2011The place has more than 100 brews, and if you can't make up your mind, the bartender just spins a wheel. Order your beer, then get a peanut butter burger. Trust us, it's better than it sounds.Upvote1Downvote

The Next Great Generation (Boston)January 20, 2012A favorite spot of former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, Doyle’s has the an authentic feel that touristy pubs can only attempt to replicate. If you’re ordering food, get the Reuben on Rye; it’s phenomenal. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
