Cool spot that the family and I went to. Not too loud and plenty of TVs to watch sports. The potato skins were great and we took advantage of two of their specials. The cheesy potato bacon soup was on point and I gave their buffalo chicken salad a go and it did not disappoint. The crispy chicken rap was really good as well. The star of the show were their freaking fries…a must get. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

I come here every time I stay downtown Boston for work. Same thing every time. Steak tips, mashed potatoes and broccoli, glass of wine. One of my favorite meals. The steak tips are always cooked exactly how I ask. Bartenders are always very nice. Win-win! More

Came here the night before the marathon, so it was pretty chill.
I should have been warned of their amazing clam chowder. My only regrets was not ordering the larger bowl! Everything was so Delish! More

Dropped in here for Saturday lunch. Great staff, very friendly and efficient. Loads of booth type tables and wasn't too busy at that time. They served great Guinness and the fish and chips were excellent. Prices are very reasonable for the city. A must visit.

Stopped in since this was right next to our hotel. The steak frites was pretty tender and the fries/mashed potatoes were great. The steak tips on the other hand weren’t the best - very chewy and cooked way past what I ordered. More

I had a table for 06 so we ordered lots of food. Everybody was very good and the service was great, really helpful! I highly recommend the Clam Chowder, simply delicious. We also ordered the crab cakes(good), buffalo wrap (okay), smash burger (delicious - from the daily menu) and the crispy chicken wrap (delicious). More

Just stopped to dine in for a dinner, got a Caesar salad and fish & chips. The fish was very flakey and tender but completely bland :( the tartar sauce did save the day along with the fries. The fries banggg.

Visited during St. Patrick’s Day weekend, so they were very busy—but we lucked out and grabbed one of their last tables.
I asked the waitress if they had any St. Patrick’s Day mocktails, and although they didn’t, I looked up a mocktail Moscow mule and asked if they had the ingredients. She said yes and made it happen—and it did not disappoint!
The clam chowder? Wow—absolutely delicious. Definitely a must-order.
10/10, highly recommend!

Looked at the menu online and immediately wanted to try it! We were seated immediately & got our orders in very quick. Our server was fast and polite. We ordered the Irish chicken curry with fries & the crispy chicken wrap. Both were delicious! Surprisingly very light meals, we cleared our plates no problem! It was a bit loud, but I didn’t expect anything else on a Saturday night. Would go again!

Good food. I had the broadside burger and my boyfriend had some kind of chicken sandwich. Service was amazing. Music and atmosphere were great. I loved the map on the ceiling. I would come here over and over again. We sat at the bar and we were comfy and happy. More

I thought the sandwich was good in proportion and the fries and pickle was enough for the sides. I don’t think its the best steak & cheese sandwich but the service is great and its a nice quiet place to pop into for lunch! More
