Small modern bar / restaurant with pub grub. Had fried chicken wings with honey garlic sauce and a side of Brussels sprouts. The wings were 4 out of 10, a little flabby and not much flavor to the sauce (and needed carrots or celery on the side). The Brussels Sprouts were boiled then barely fried and too sulfery and boring. (The kind of Brussels that are why people don't like Brussels don't like them.)Service was OK - a refill without asking would have been nice.The place is kind of plain other than a big LED neon sign spelling out "Cunard" (props for being rainbow colors for pride - not sure if it's intentional but a nice touch.)Bathrooms are shared with the building and up a flight of stairs and down a hall, and not well marked in either direction. (Pet peeve is restaurants should have their own bathrooms in the restaurant.)Food wasn't bad, it just was not good either and I see no reason to come back.

I went here for the newly redecorated rooftop bar "The Layover". I loved the decor and the branding! It was all very cute. The view was so nice and I loved how many rail-side tables they squeezed in there. I tried two drinks, the tipsy flamingo and the harbor fog. Unfortunately they just didn't taste great. The harbor fog was so acidic and actually made me feel a bit unwell later. This place is so cute and has so much potential if they tweak the drink recipes!

A great gastropub in East Boston. It's a nice interior and they do have a rooftop. I started with a Big day (or something like that, it was vodka pomegranate and lemon and was legit sooo good. I also got the tuna tartare which was the star of the show because the rice was sweet which made it stand out from others I have had. The Hoisin ribs were good just maybe a touch salty. We followed it with a salmon, shrimp and birria taco and the shrimp was my personal fav. Finished with the chocolate churros and they were awesome. The chef was kind and so was our server. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

We were looking for a happy hour spot in Boston after realizing Tall Ship was going to be too crowded. A friend recommended Cunards nearby and the rooftop bar definitely appealed to us.When we arrived, we were able to find some barstools on the rooftop and oh my goodness, the view was incredible!! We were able to see the harbor and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. We ordered a couple draft beers (they were honestly kind of small and pricey and didn't have a ton of choice so wouldn't recommend). We also ordered some snacks as well including the mixed fries and hummus trio. The fries were so good (I loved having both the sweet potato and regular fries) and the hummus was the star of the show!! We loved the pita and the different flavors of hummus were so delicious. Overall, Cunards was a solid happy hour spot!

We were wandering around and were going to try Tall Ship but the line was massive so we ended up at Cunard's! We were able to get some seating on the rooftop which was great and it was not super crowded. The staff was all really nice and helpful. We were going just for light apps so we got some beers and oysters. The beers in my opinion were overpriced. It was $9 for a simple draft and that just didn't sit right considering how well priced everything else was. Either way, the oysters were also delicious! We also decided to try the hummus trio and the mixed fries and oh my god they were great. Each of the hummus choices were delicious and savory and the fries were great also. Overall, a really good experience on the rooftop and I bet for a regular meal it also super fun!

My friends have lived here in East Boston 6+ years and finally wanted to try this place out on a Saturday night, we came at about 11:45pm after a dinner at Mida nearby. The door was locked even though the sign says it closes at 1am (included a photo). The place was filled with quite a few people at the bar. A group came out so I walked inside with my friends. The bartender (wears glasses) immediately said to us "oh so you're piggybacking in huh?". I looked at him and said "the sign outside says it closes at 1am as well as online". He said, "well it's open for people who live in the neighborhood." My friends and I said, "we do live in the neighborhood." He said "well someone who came in paid me in steak." I said, "so does this come down to money?" He replied "yes." I've never experienced anything like this and honestly don't like writing bad reviews, at all. But this experience changes that. Do better. We were willing to spend good money too - for drinks. Not for a bribe to get in.

We came here after checking out the tall ship and had a great meal. Abby was our server and could not have been more lovely. We had three different tacos (shrimp, salmon and short rib) and split the watermelon salad. Everything was great. Wish I had taken photos to post. My only comment would be that the watermelon was cut a bit too large so we had to cut it up to eat with the greens and feta it came with. No biggy.

Great Beer drinks, Lobster roll fresh n Fish n Chips filled the tummy. Music playing seems to be mixture of songs, the restrooms are upstairs we did not make roof deck. Locals spot it seems , a little worry some as I watched a Blk guy with hat and glasses amongst couple others sprinkle something into a guys wine after he went to bathroom. Other than that observation it was great spot . Will check roof deck this weekend.

If you've ever wondered what a Barnacle tastes like on the bottom of the boat in Boston, make sure to taste the seafood from this place. The owner should do the whole town a favor and throw in the towel. He's not fooling anyone. If ZERO stars was an option it would be done. This is a POOR excuse for an establishment. After CONSECUTIVE failed managers, you'd think he'd shell out some cash for someone who knows what they're doing but no. I brought people for A DRINK because the only good thing about this place is its location...but the staff was so drunk behind the bar they didn't even know when we showed up or what to charge us when we left because they genuinely couldn't remember what they poured. At this point it seems like they want to collect bad reviews on this app. I've ever seen a place rise from the dead as many times as I have Cunard tavern. Do NOT go here if you're trying to enjoy your day. WHAT A JOKE. Where is bar rescue when you need it? I've seen people over served I've seen the management wheeled out in an ambulance cuz she's so drunk she couldn't even know where she was. I've watched innocent out-of-town people get cut off "just because" and I've also seen this place lock the door on a Friday because they don't want people coming in. Which is ironic because they went through the trouble of laminating their hours of the window . Constant innocence is the only reason they continue to have new customers but let me tell you. The food is trash, the bartenders are trash and nothing good comes out of here. Not even a good BM after you eat cuz 50/50 you're getting food poisoning here. Disgusting.
