Great historic tavern. They have 3 bars inside, and they play live music.

The bartender was very friendly and on top of our order. This is what you want - a touristy place that provides great food and drink with fantastic service. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious. I got the hot lobster roll which was a very generous portion and then my daughter got the baked mac and cheese that was excellent. Fries were quite good as well. Service was very good.

This place is the balls or should I say the bells, hahahah. The drink selection is out of this world. Anything you can imagine they have it. The workers are super nice and the burger was delicious. Super juicy burger and some amazing fries. If you’re on the fence about where to eat, this is the place! Kid friendly as well!

One of the oldest taverns in America, wouldn't be surprised if Revere frequented this spot. Good selection of beers on draft.

This pub is awesome. They have great food and prices, their staff are quick and kind, and it’s an amazing building to be in. Great spot for food and drinks while listening to live music in a historic location. One of Boston’s best.

Came from out of town, stopped because they said they’re the oldest tavern in North America. Wait staff was amazing, the chowder was top notch and the house ale was delicious. East 5 stars and if I lived in Boston I’d frequent this place.

Was there on a Wednesday early December and the place had a private party. Service was still good, but not a place to have casual conversation....just too loud.

The beer is incredibly over priced. Is $13.91 for 16oz of Modelo normal?
