"Ok, so this might be a tourist trap but I don't care, I liked it! We happened to arrive about 45-mins before they opened and a line started forming so we jumped in. We were part of the first group in and opted to sit downstairs at the original bar (you can continue on through back up the stairs if you want to grab a drink in the TV Show set replica bar. Service was efficient - they've got this down to a science. Our group went with a Boston Lager for the first round and they came in an icy cold mug - a perfect way to beat the heat! They've got food if you're hungry, but if you want to just grab one beer for the experience and take off, that's cool, too! Don't forget to check out the little gift shop before you leave!"

Bleacher Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (594) • $$

"A very unique bar. I've never seen a bar with a field level view of center field. It's a super cool concept. I visited in the off-season, so I can imagine how crazy it can be on game day. Come early I guess? They have a decent selection of local beers and the cocktail I tried was pretty decent. Service was friendly and attentive during a slow and depressing Patriots stinker. I appreciated the windows in the men's bathroom that allow you to watch the screens while using the urinals. Somewhat awkward, but fun and innovative. Worth visiting for the novelty factor alone. I'll have to try coming during a baseball game sometime."

"We needed a Saturday brunch place that would accommodate a Vegan, and this place fit the bill just fine. Somehow we managed to get a parking spot right out front, and were seated immediately at a high top.Two of us had a Peach Bellini and we both loved it. Instead of being served in a tiny champagne flute it was served in a regular wine glass. Well worth the $8 price. For meals I had their version of a McMuff which was totally delicious. Flavorful juicy sausage, a fried egg and American cheese. Perfectly seasoned, as were the tasty breakfast potatoes. Others enjoyed the Eggs Benedict which had an avocado mousse on a biscuit, the Tots dish which had eggs and a cheese sauce, bacon and ranch. Very rich. The Vegan dish needed kicking up with some hot sauce, but he liked it, and it was a good thing he likes dry toast, because that toast looked very dry indeed.Our service was terrific. Overall we really liked the place!"

Cask'n Flagon

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (744) • $$

"Came to Cask'n Flagon for the first time with my girlfriend last night, and left feeling very satisfied! We walked in on a Friday around dinner time, and were seated right away. At first glance, it was a bit loud and crowded (as expected for a sports bar), but the waitstaff took us to a more secluded area within the restaurant (might I mention, unprompted) which was more quiet. This was appreciated! The service was phenomenal, and all of the waitstaff was very friendly. Our food came quick (within 20 minutes) and it was MIGHTY delicious! My girlfriend and I split the Buffalo chicken wrap and grilled chicken focaccia sandwiches. We each order one entree so we could share and split them! On the side we got fries and a Caesar salad-- the salad was a substitute and we were able to order it without any extra charge! The portions were perfect, the food was fresh, and amazing. The grilled chicken sandwich was extremely flavorful and the pesto sauce was one of the best I've ever had. The Buffalo chicken wrap was very good, but slightly messy. The fries were average and the salad was good, but I would've liked a little bit more dressing! Overall, we had a great time here, and will definitely be back!"

Redstone American Grill

"Becca was awesome. It's at a great location plenty of parking for free. The Establishment itself is so beautiful, they have outdoor seating and a patio that has a fireplace. The boots are very comfy and super spacious. We went for my daughter's 18th birthday, the food was all right. I had the crusted haddock, there's this sauce that comes on it that I didn't particularly like. I didn't like the crust on the haddock as well so I barely ate it. My asparagus was good, and the mashed potatoes are delicious as well. I couldn't decide between the meatloaf and the haddock so I ended up getting a headache and the meatloaf to go. This is where I messed up I should have went with the meatloaf because it was so freaking good. I suggest that on the menu above anything else. I also tried the burger the salmon and the rotisserie chicken. I sampled a little bit of everybody's food and trust me the meatloaf is the best. Becca suggested this Sauvignon Blanc and it was really good so shout out to her"

The Fours

★★★★☆ 3.7 (365) • $$

"Great visit at The Fours. We went at 7pm on a Monday so it was not busy at all. Immediately seated and staff were very friendly. Seating was nice and vibes were great. Food came out relatively fast. Boston Scrod was delicious: flaky and flavorful. The ritz cracker topping was interesting but went well regardless. Fries were nicely cooked. Onion rings were also nice. Honestly, no complaints. Prices were reasonable (expect to pay $15-20 for a dish, $10-15 for an appetizer). It was a wonderful dinner and a great place to hang out with a big group of people. Highly recommend!"

Orleans Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (443) • $$

"We went here before the Slutcracker st Somerville Theater. It was the night before Xmas Eve and they were waiting on a big party. It was festive and homey at the same time. My butternut squash ravioli was good. The sauce was a bit sweet. But loved my husbands barrio tacos and the churros (serve with really good coffee ice cream) were delicious. The staff was nice. All around I very much liked this place! What was the good theme? No idea."

Warehouse Kitchen & Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (278) • $$

"My work colleagues and I were looking for something to eat, a late lunch, around 1:30 P.M. We were originally going to stop at a different restaurant, but it was closed. Instead, we stumbled upon Warehouse Bar & Grille.The service here is exceptional! The team member that came to our table constantly followed up with us, asking if we needed any drink refills. We had ordered a variety of appetizers from Warehouse Bar & Grill such as the cauliflower bites and the nachos, both were amazingly delicious!The table that we were sitting at, had a great viewing angle to all of the TVs situated over the bar area. We were able to watch some of the games that Warehouse Bar & Grill had playing. For my entrée, I had ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl without mushrooms. We didn't wait too long for the entrees and the food came out shortly after all of the appetizers. The chicken teriyaki bowl was scrumptious! The teriyaki sauce was awesome! it mixed well with the edamame, rice, chicken, carrots and broccoli. The meal was so filling that I didn't even have room for dinner in the evening hours! I would come to Warehouse Bar & Grille again!"

The Point

★★★★☆ 3.7 (276) • $$

"I came here to watch the Super Bowl while visiting Boston. This is the BEST place in the city to watch a 49ers game all season long. They have two floors and two bars. The place was packed for the Super Bowl. Considering how packed the place was the service was excellent. Bartenders were great and fast. We even ordered a "Pickle Back" not on the menu or common drink but they made it happen. I ordered some pizza while watching the game and it was pretty good. The pizza wouldn't win any awards but for bar food I was happy.I would 100% be back. If you are a 49er fan in Boston, you need to come here!!!"

"Stopped in for a drink before heading back to the hotel, we had Bridget for our bartender and she was seriously FABULOUS!She took the time to talk to us and explain to us about the liquor and cordial licenses in the NorthEnd. Great vibes, people, drinks, music. Stop in, talk to the bartenders, have a drink or 3 you won't regret it!"

The Draft

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (248)

"It was cool finding this spot. I needed a bar close by and this has everything I need. Lots of t.v.s, good music, pool table, friendly bartenders. What I didn't like is while I was there these young patrons were playing a drinking game that required them to bang on the table. It was disruptive and no one stopped them. It was killing my chill vibe. I went there to relax that totally threw me off. I know that want people to have fun but if it's affecting the other patrons they should ask them to stop. So rowdy"

Paddy O's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (215)

"Great place in the bar district. While I was here for a few beers, three bridal parties came in, did shots and left. You know it is a good local bar when even Ben Franklin (or a guy dressed like him) stops by for a drink.!What I liked:- A full bar with a great beer selection including Monkey fist IPA. - Friendly and experienced bartender chatting with us. - Loads of TVs to watch sports.- Live music to listen to while you watch sports ."

"Best nachos I've ever had. There was cheese and toppings in the middle so you don't have to worry about running out if toppings. I ate it for 3 meals.We sat outside when it was still a bit cold and the staff were great about turning the heaters on and wiping the tables."

Tavern in the Square

★★★★☆ 3.5 (65)

"Nice for a casual date. Noisy but relaxed atmosphere. Vegetarian options available. The appetizers are great and the portions are big. The drinks menu is extensive and they have refreshing mocktails available too. We recently tried the brunch menu which was very tasty. We've been here multiple times and have always been seated quickly. Servers were always nice."

Shine Square Pub

★★★★★ 4.6 (33)

"I came here on a Saturday night. The place had a classic sports bar vibe. The drinks menu was pretty solid and the food was above average for a pub. The kitchen stayed open relatively late and everything was reasonably priced. I would go back if I ended up in Porter Square at night."

Village Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (40)

"Friendly, attentive wait staff. The beer options are pretty good and inexpensive. Food is so-so, mixed reviews from my party (see pics). We came here accidentally after rock climbing nearby because we thought this was part of the brewery next door but we ended up staying since they have food while their neighbors do not. Overall fairly enjoyable meal with friends."

The Cornerstone

★★★★☆ 4.4 (13)

"Where the corner bar is actually a fine dining experience!!I am always pleasantly surprised to find a place like The Cornerstone. From the outside you'd think "bar food" and keep walking, but if you do that you are missing a neighborhood gem. The service was bubbly.... That is the only was to describe our enthusiastic server. She was cordial and seemed to really appreciate our being there. I had the clam chowder and it has pretty much ruined the next clam chowder I order somewhere else. It was so good. I also had the seafood pasta. Oh my! With a more than generous amount of seafood I felt like I was getting the deal of the day. Then came dessert.....Cannolis!! Now I need to go for a long bike ride. I order what I thought was going to be two and when three arrived, well let's just say YUM.Don't miss this fabulous neighborhood establishment."

Tanjore

★★★★☆ 3.9 (15)

"This place definitely has more of a bar vibe than a restaurant vibe, which explains to me why the menu isn't as extensive as what you would find at a typical Indian/Nepalese restaurant. However, the items I tried were excellent! I came by on a Saturday night around 10pm and the kitchen was still open. They had a limited menu that was restricted to their chicken tenders/wings, momos, chow mein, and fries/onion rings. We got the 10 piece wings ($16.99), chicken momo ($9.99 for 8 pieces), and vegetable chow mein ($9.99).The wings were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the honey BBQ sauce on them was very tasty. The chicken momo had a really nicely seasoned filling and the tomatoey gingery sauce paired perfectly! I loved how they were bold with the spices and seasonings in the chow mein which was packed with vegetables and flavor.Everything was seasoned well without being too salty. The food paired well with their affordable beer.On food alone, I would highly recommend this spot."
