Bostonia Public House

We popped in for a quick drink and stayed for great conversation with Emily behind the bar. She is very down to earth and treated us with energy and care as if it were the beginning of her night rather than the hour before close that it was. I asked how the ribs were, got a thumbs up and was also steered into the direction of the wings. We ordered them to go and my only regret is not experiencing them there so I could give praise to the kitchen. Both succulent and packed with flavors that were beautiful combined! Absolutely phenomenal!! Thank you Emily for the recommendation & for a look at photos of how wild and fun brunch bloody Mary's can get. We will certainly be back!

Stopped in for a drink after a long day of exploring Boston.From outside it looked warm and comfortable, and it lived up to appearances. Easygoing and knowledgeable bartender. Chill vibe. No upselling or pressure to order food if that's not why you're there.Serious selection of wine and spirits. Old fashioneds were just about perfect.

Great food, good service, and I like the look of this restaurant, cool design. The bar has awesome lighting. Be sure to ask about their complimentary bread, it might be a secret.Great oysters. It is a louder place, probably not for quieter conversations.

Decent. This is your average Boston restaurant. I like the vibes in here; screams old money with the nice wooden bar and beautiful (but extremely heavy) bar chairs.My husband and I came in on a Sunday morning for a late brunch. I ordered the ham & cheese omelette. It was delicious! I loved that they used gruyere cheese. My husband got the breakfast burrito and couldn't finish it because it was huge! I would recommend checking this place out :)

Great restaurant with a little bit of everything to satisfy any palate. My group of 4 was hungry and on the hunt for some food after walking the harbor. This spot was in a great location and offered up a nice selection of typical Boston fare. Most of my table opted for something with lobster in it, but I got the bolognese. It was made with a handmade, curly-q-type pasta and the sauce was delicious. I really loved the dollop of ricotta on top! The Lobster Mac, the lobster roll, and the lobster burger all got great reviews from my friends and we left with full and happy bellies. Our service was great and I loved that I could get a carafe of wine (as we all inevitably end up getting around 2 drinks when we eat anyways). Definitely a must-try when you're in the area!

Bostonia Public House has something on the menu for everyone! I recommend using Open Table during busy times. We were sat immediately when we checked in. Waters and a friendly server came over to us right away. We shared a southwest salad to start. I got the salmon entree and my hubby got fish and chips. Everything was tasty and the food was out pretty quick. Both entrees were hefty portions and could have easily been shared! Or it's always good to have leftovers! Definitely check out this place - you won't be disappointed! They have great music playing too. Oh and they have a brunch on the weekends!!!

Located in the heart of North Boston. A plethora of bourbons, gin, tequila and wine to choose from. The atmosphere is nostalgic and pub like, absolutely love it. We stopped in for cocktails before dinner at another location. Our bartender, Steve, was quick with service and provided knowledgeable information about Boston. Definitely a nice stop for cocktails. My husband tried the Oysters which were a happy hour appetizer and he enjoyed them.

We ordered the fried chicken sandwich, beet salad, avocado toast, and lobster frittata. We asked for a quieter seating area and so they sat us upstairs. The avocado toast was interesting, with more vegetables than bread I would say. There were beets on the toast and so there were a lot of beets on my beet salad as well. The lobster frittata was filling and the fried chicken sandwich was good too, but there were very few fries that came with the sandwich. The servers were nice and attentive and I would recommend this place to others.

Looking for a great place for chippies and sippies (eg: french fries and cocktails that you enjoy midafternoon as a little treat/pick-me-up)? Can't recommend the Bostonia Public House more! We visited on a Friday around 3ish, and - while it was busier than we were expecting already! - we were able to sit at the bar. Very rarely do I say this, but those stools were SO COMFORTABLE. They were wider and deeper than the usual bar seating, I so appreciated the hooks discreetly hidden below for my stuff, and the overall decor of dark wood just felt so old New England pub to me (the enormous windows allow a ton of natural light in though, so it never feels oppressive [if that makes sense]).The staff? So attentive and so refreshingly normal (not at all artificially friendly; when our first bartender's shift was up, she asked if we would be cool closing our tab early [we get it, you want that tip!] we did, and our next round of drinks from her seemed... much more generous, let's say).DRINKS: I had the Fountain of Youth (vodka, elderflower liqueur, lime, lemon, mint, agave) which was a balanced, thirst quenching drink for a warm day, my partner had the Bostonia Barrel (an old fashioned; it was okay) and also a pour of Talisker 10. FOOD: We only saw duckfat sweet potato waffle fries or rosemary parmesan shoestring fries available on the menu. We told our bartender we were vegan, and could they just do normal fries... with the chipotle ketchup we saw came with the waffle fries? She was like, "Absolutely!" And, very soon after that, a delicious bowl of salt and pepper fries arrived with our sauce. Golden on the outside, mashed potato-y on the inside, they were everything you want in a good fry. And that ketchup? A little sweet and a little smoky heat; and, now, I can never boring ketchup again.We were allowed to linger for as long as we wanted, the new bartender constantly filling up our waters and giving us space to finish our second round drinks. Later on in the day when we couldn't settle on another place to have drinks, we were tempted to just come back here. And honestly? We should have!

Joe P is the love of my life 10/10 service. he was excellent and constantly checked in with us to make sure we had the best night!
