Busy taproom in the heart of Boston. Average beer prices for a busy city. Known for their pizza but I did not partake in food.Parking: Small bar, maybe 10-12 seats at most.

I am a patient at Brigham and women's hospital and you were kind enough to deliver pizza to me. Great tasting and I appreciate your help!

Went here on Wednesday trivia night. Margarita bucket was phenomenal, cheap and a LOT of alcohol in it. The fries however, were no good at all. They looked like sweet potato fries and were extremely soggy. Doused in oil. Also the trivia questions were kind of ridiculous, extremely evident the table across from us was cheating. Maybe hire a referee. The bathrooms were very nice. It took quite a while for our table to receive the bill, which was tragic because by the time we left the establishment I was no longer drunk. If you go here, I would highly recommend wearing a T-shirt under your sweatshirt, because it's hot as a witches ya know. Crack a window please and thank you. That's all thank you. #goarmybeatnavy -Ryan

Great pizza, great staff, great vibe. Wednesday night trivia is a good time as well. They have "Too good to go" if you use that app.

Everyone makes you feel like you've been going there for years. Customers are great, and service to the local hospitals is amazing. Timmy was very welcoming and friendly, and Nova was on her game running the bar and tables.

Service was great. Our bartender (Kali) gave my boyfriend and I a great experience. We were visiting a friend in Boston and decided to stop by on the way home. Food was good. Ambiance was cozy.

Stopped in while walking in the area. Recommended by a friend. This is an average pizza spot with bar food. I did find it interesting though that it is a waited on experience, I had thought it would just be an order at the counter which was a nice surprise. The service as average nothing I would rave about. Food was okay, although we did not get the pizza. We ordered mozzarella sticks which were not terrible but also not the best either. I also got the chicken pesto panini with a Caesar salad. I could of made a better salad at home and the chicken was chewy in the sand which. So overall not highly impressed but not the worst place I have ever been. However for a local bar food experience it was just how I would expect it to be.

Great slice! The sauce has a little kick to it and the pepperoni has a flavor you can’t really find anywhere else. The one downside is the dough doesn’t hold the rest of the pizza. You can’t even pick it up without throwing middle falling out.The bar definitely passed the vibe check. It was a slow afternoon so the bartender started up a game of ticket to ride with some other staff (while not neglecting other tasks).Kid-friendliness: It’s a bar.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s an accessible entrance, but don’t try to get an extra wide wheelchair through the door.

I ordered delivery so I can’t speak on the atmosphere that’s why the stars are low on this one.My order was a Philly steak sub and a side salad! Well the salad turned out to be mixed greens my favorite ? so I was happy to see that! Accompanied with a vinaigrette drsssing that was greatThe only problem is they put the sandwich and salad together in one box. Leaving your salad a wilted mess so that fresh crunch to go along with my sub was robbed of me.,The sub was a block of salted meat with no flavor not enjoyable. Roll toasted proper, added peppers and onions to dress it up nicely. The meat just decided to not show up!

The pizza is beautiful, but that is where it ends. Out of three different types of pizza, the Neopolitan, Honolulu and the Pat, none of them had any flavor. The crust was overly chewy and undercooked in the center, the sauce was bland and each different pizza tasted exactly the same, like nothing. The jalapeno poppers were meh, run of the mill frozen poppers.The environment was great, staff extremely friendly and quick with the order, and the pizza was beautiful. Wish the taste lived up to the look and aroma.

It was not a diversity of joy and surroundings, no activity for the children, no treats the host disappeared when it was time to take the photo, so we had to use our phone to take the picture... The funny thing is I grew up in that area, and that was a long time ago small cafe, and they were 10x welcoming. I believe it was called (Mississippi)
