Arrived at 8 p.m. almost served at 8:30 p.m. the bartender was ignorant, slowness, no professionalism no respect, if you want money learn to work.

I do not recommend this bar.

I don’t give out 1 star reviews lightly. The bartender ignored us, played on his phone, chatted with staff. He knew we were there.. After 5 minutes of this we left.

Also the place smelled weird.

There’s too many options to tolerate this crap. Hopefully the bartender gets fired asap. Absurd how crappy the service was.

The place looks nice, but that’s about it. The bartenders were so unfriendly — couldn’t tell if they hate their job, hate people, or just think they’re too cool to be nice. The music was way too loud, you can’t even talk — it’s a bar, not a club. Ordering drinks felt uncomfortable. Total waste of money — we ended up leaving to find somewhere with nicer staff.

Big bartender dude lame as hell. Refused to serve and kicked me out because he claimed my completely real ID was fake, but refused to explain why he thought that. Bouncers let me in no problem then this dude starts problems for no reason. Never seen anything like it

Great dive bar, inexpensive with good service. Keep in mind that Allston is a college area, so expect loud singing, music, and hipster talk.

This bartender deliberately short-changed me then refused to give me the entire amount in change for a $20 that I had handed him to pay $8.56. He had enough money, and but refused to give me all the change due, and that's on top of charging me $4 for a small cup of Pepsi. Also, the sauce on wings is supposed to be wet. Crooks make bad cooks. The Boston Police Department urged me to write this bad review. The police and I strongly urge you not to frequent this bar. I don’t think your credit card numbers would be safe. The employees are not to be trusted. Definitely count your change and call 911 if stiffed.

My sister and I were staying the night in a nearby hotel and found this place 2 blocks away! EVERYTHING was delicious! Saved it in case I ever get back to Boston!

It’s hard to give a proper review of this place. It’s a dive. Cheap beers, greasy foods, bad bathrooms. You walk in and immediately are hit with the smell of mold and urine. It’s not pleasant, and seems to be radiating from the men’s bathroom. There was a dead fly pasted on the wall of the bathroom the last time I was in. I refuse to eat food from here for obvious reasons. I worry how often they clean their draft lines as well, but I do enjoy coming despite all of this, as it’s one of the cheapest dives in town.

Smelled like absolute toilet - how are there so many reviews that address the stench and nothing is done about it?

Chill place to play pool and get a drink, would be ideal if it didn’t smell like a high school boys locker room
