Bell in Hand, located at 45 Union Street in Boston, is a historic spot and the oldest pub in America since 1795. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with a party vibe that continues late into the night. The service is a major highlight; staff members like Charlotte, Victoria, Peaches, and a woman with beautiful pink hair are described as amazing, sweet, friendly, attentive, and 10/10. They go above and beyond, recommending drinks, helping with food pairings, and accommodating large groups. Even when the bar is crazy busy, the service remains quick, attentive, and efficient, with managers constantly moving around to ensure no one is stuck waiting. The food, including items like a chicken sandwich, chicken pesto sandwich, lobster roll, oysters, fish and chips, and beers, is very good and exactly what is needed. For four people, the total was around $200 including tip, which felt fair. One order was messed up through Grubhub, but the staff sent the doorman out with the food and offered a complimentary Boston cream pie. Bell in Hand is highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, lively, historic spot where the night does not have to end early.
