“We had the Biria chicken tacos, ordered a 2nd round cuz they were so good! I had a strawberry margarita - was delicious. Vibe was great around 1100 after a concert at the House of Blues. Will def be back !“

“Delicious food, I recommend the chowder!“

“For a guy who loves his bar to have good beer at a good price served by good people, this was like walking into Shangri-La. You can waltz in and grab a seat at the bar and enjoy yourself a pint of Guinness and enjoy some friendly conversation. After a day spent touristing, this was exactly the place I was looking for to unwind and actually relax. Made me think of all the pubs I frequented when I was a younger man hanging out with his buddies.“

“This is my local spot. Love The Sevens.“

“My wife and I were in Boston for 3 days this weekend , and we found this place on our second stop. As soon as we walked in there, we felt the amazing atmosphere of all the people around. We also met some amazing people who we invited to sit with us because the place was a 100% full. They happen to be from Australia, even though the guy was originally from Boston. We had an amazing dinner and appetizers on the first night there. And then the next day we came back for lunch and had an amazing bartender named Ro. And if that wasn't enough, we came back Sunday morning for breakfast. as far as I can see, this is the only place to go if you are in downtown Boston, hands down. We also loved the live music.

“Great atmosphere and great folks working there!“

“We had the Deluxe burger and the Reuben. Both were delicious and flavorful. Fries were delightful. Served super hot and fresh. Server was great! Definitely be back!

Update! We ordered the bread pudding for take away. It was unbelievable! Pillowy melting delightfulness! I. Was expecting the normal wet, eggy pudding. I have never experienced anything like this! Just unbelievable good! This will be our new standard but I believe my expectations will always be disappointed after what we experienced tonight! We're going to have to come back to Boston just for this bread pudding! Great personel on top of great food. You don't see places that are off the rails with great food and great service since before Covid. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!“

“gr eat food grade service“

“Fantastic experience and lived up to the hype! Honestly loved the apps more than the entree. Aloo chaat chips were so good. Our server Gianna was also amazing. She made our date night out without baby so special! Even gave us a comp cookie ice cream dessert which was soooo good! Vibe and live jazz music was great too.“

“Really impressed with the food, drinks, and service here. The menu has a great selection with plenty of options, and the local beer selection is excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out fresh and hot. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the visit. It’s obvious they care about making customers feel welcome. A great pub for a casual meal, drinks, and a relaxing evening. We would definitely return.

“Perfect little spot to go after the aquarium. In walking distance. My fiance and our little birthday girl came in from Wareham today. The birthday girl was fussy at first. But our server was fantastic. We sat outside. Beautiful little spot. Food was good. Service was quick. Prices were typical for the city area. And the server gave our birthday girl a miniature yellow rubber ducky which cheered her up quick 😊 Thanks for a lovely lunch Granary Tavern!!“

“the food and service are great!!!!“

“We were in town for 3 days and literally visited here every day. Paul was our primary bartender (also other amazing folks behind the bar) and he is what brought us back each day. The drinks, wings and pizza were superb. Great atmosphere with the front windows open and fresh air. Super place to visit and have a great time.“
