“The food is generally good. The hostesses are always the worst. First thing you see when you walk in everytime is people on their phones, not acknowledging you, not saying hi. Everytime. The BLT is the worst BLT I’ve ever had. The beer selection is great, although often out of selections (even month long specials). The bathrooms are often overflowing with trash. I also don’t think anyone likes those iPad things they try to promote every time I go there. Been here dozens of times.“

“Best food around!!! Great service and price!!!“

“Our waiter was terrific. Very attentive and friendly. But the food was just ok. There were four of us and all of us felt the same. I (and my friends) am a regular at Legal Seafoods (going to several different locations in MA). This was the first time we were not impressed with the food. It's usually excellent! Maybe just a bad night.“

“Dylan made our experience so much fun!“

“This company fires employees over nothing, due to mangers latent laziness, and refusal to back up there emploees. a good bricklayer made about 350 in the early 1980's @ chubbs tequila bar your local 7 iron workers had there charter revoked in philidelpia, I wonder why the landmark doesn't have a social media“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“A true hidden gem for cocktail enthusiasts! If you’re passionate about mixology, this place is a must-visit. Saul is an absolute master of his craft—his passion for creative, thoughtfully crafted drinks shines through in every interaction. He not only serves exceptional cocktails but also takes the time to share the stories and inspirations behind them, making the entire experience unforgettable.“

“Yummy! And dog friendly patio.“

“Got to have a good cold beer and some great food this past Friday before Participating in the 250th Anniversary of The Battle of Bunker Hill. We came all the way from Roxboro North Carolina. People were friendly, don’t know if it was my Southern Accent 😁 but either way I had a great time relaxing at the Tavern.“

“Super fun time with me and my friends. Food was phenomenal and the drinks were perfect. Our server was also a gem and 10/10 would come back!!! Thank you for a great night.“

“Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans.“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“If you’re looking for a place that’s clean, safe, and FUN to go highly recommend. Awesome food and drinks ($5 sandwiches during happy hour!), lovely outdoor patio dining, and there are still games available to play sanitized between people! So happy to come back here again and get the same great service.“

“Went only once last night so don't want to knock any stars. But, my biggest suggestion is that please include pictures of sake bottles (even just labels) next to the title on your online menu. Right now, it's paragraphs after paragraphs of many many sakes. I got analysis paralysis after a few seconds.“

“classy drinks and awsome servers“

“Stopped by for some appetizers and cocktails before dropping my niece at Logan airport. The cocktails were delicious (summer sangria drink and a jalapeno infused vodka cocktail were particularly well liked). Our server was great and we enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful afternoon.“

“Looking for dinner options along Moody Street and this was an easy choice. I've been to Dallas and had a fun evening in their Deep Ellum neighborhood so why would I skip the opportunity to try it again.

Lots of options here, considering we have meat eaters, pescatarians and kosher eaters in the group tonight. We started off with a plate of their pickles and they were fabulous. With it, beers! Including a draft German beer for me and a tin of a non-alcoholic for Mrs. K.

For main, I chose the Italian sandwich and it was fabulous. Well loaded and very tasty if perhaps a little messy. But that's what napkins are for. Mrs. K. chose the grilled cheese and said it was excellent.

Great service here and we had a fabulous evening. Five stars!“

“Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere“

“Love this place for the vibe, atmosphere and low down Dive Bar feel.
Price is very reasonable for a big NE like Boston.
Only complaint is they don’t list any prices… it’s a guessing game. What’s the best deal PBR or Slhitz? Idk“

“Used to live in Boston, and we just stumbled into here on vacation. The bartender knew all of the history of the place telling us how it was a speakeasy, and even went downstairs to take a couple pictures for us. My new favorite bar, but I live in San Diego now. I will go back next year. Although it was tucked away on a side street, I will find it easily. I wish I could remember our bartenders name he was GREAT ! The night of September 16th 2025 .“

“Dining in a cozy yurt surrounded by freshly fallen snow was fun winter experience for our family. Great ambiance, and the food and service were exceptional. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable outing!“

“Food was excellent - a definite step up from “standard” pub fare. Service was prompt and friendly. I’ll make a point to come back!“

“We stopped in on the way home from the airport, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere and food were awesome. I highly recommend the Mickey’s Chicken special and the red sangria which was a deep dark red- as sangria should be. Yum! My children loved our Irish waitress who Made them laugh and feel special. This restaurant is over an hour from where we live, but there is no doubt we will travel back often. Wonderful experience!“

“A bar dedicated to my favorite poet? It was a no-brainer that I was gonna love this place. Might add, one of the best Guinness pours I’ve ever had. Perfect!“

“Really cool experience, very secretive location and interesting drinks. The staff was very nice, we had a great time. The only thing is the prices are a bit high, every alcoholic drink was $22 which is Ok but I wanted a bit more of a cool feature with my drink for $22. It was really fun, I might go back but the prices were what hurt the most. Would definitely return for that speakeasy experience though.“

“Go on Karoke night. The is a woman who sings “green eyes lady” that blew me away.

Reminded me of the Hideout in Chicago and that bar in Starwars.

Great spot, great sign, great talent behind the stick.“

“Great place! Historical live music acts have played here for decades! great ownership! Great bartenders!“

“Food was awesome and Zach was awesome with helping suggest us some appetizers and places to visit as out of towners!“

“I just Love the New Republic great atmosphere amazing food great drinks beautiful vibe“

“One of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to in Boston.

Walked in on a Saturday evening around 8PM without a reservation. We were able to snag a table without a wait, but the place filled up pretty fast. Just like some of the best cocktail bars in the city, this spot knows how to weave savory notes into their drinks without overwhelming them. Almost everything we tried was excellent. Refined, inventive, and layered (except for Bangkok to Mumbai).

Kingston to Milan – Our favorite of the night. Essentially Negroni + passionfruit, but with a surprisingly creamy, savory finish. The smoothness likely came from Castelvetrano olives (with that signature mild and buttery note), but it almost evoked the yogurt-based cocktails that were once trendy in Seoul.

Amalfi to La Paz – A close second. Not a typical tomato-basil cocktail. Instead, the sweet basil cream and cacao combined into a rich, nutty, and savory aftertaste. It gave espresso martini vibes but with subtle vegetal undertones from the tomato.

Rio to Tokyo – In the same flavor family as Kingston to Milan, but with a milder savory profile. Notes of miso and coconut gradually emerged, which made it more interesting toward the finish than the start. Grew on me with each sip.

Bangkok to Mumbai – Seemed to be the most popular order around us, but the trio of mango cordial, jackfruit, and Calpico created an overly sweet, one-dimensional drink. No balance, no clarity, just an overpriced mango juice.

Lemongrass Chicken Dumplings – Solid bar snack. Nicely perfumed with lemongrass, but the chicken filling wasn’t very prominent. With only four snack options on the menu, this felt like the safest pick.“

“5 STAR TREATMENT!!! We had my husbands surprise birthday party there last night for 40 guests and it went off without a hitch! Jim the manager went out of his way to check all the little details that make an event special from custom menus to an easel for a sign. The waitstaff was wonderful and accommodating! The food was wonderful and the room was comfortable! Nobody left the party early!!! Thank you Olivadi!“

“My colleague and I dropped in for a bite during a work trip, and we couldn’t have been happier with the food, beer, and service. The bartender, Liam, made our tough travel day so much better. Next time I’m in town, I’m making it a priority to stop here. Keep up the amazing work!!“

“Finally posting a review after many visits, including for private events. It's a magical space where every detail is thoughtfully curated. The owners are experimenting and pushing boundaries to create something special and different. The cocktails are off-the-charts, and the bites - when offered - have always been phenomenal!“

“great place to pack all my fans love the staff looking to perform here sometime in the near future“

“The restaurant is well-decorated and embodies the spirit of Boston in its decor. They offer a variety of items, from small plates to large. The beer selection includes both local and global options. The food dishes are beyond ordinary preparation, featuring a fusion of multiple cuisines, but with careful attention to avoid overshadowing any one cuisine. The veggie burger might sound simple, but even with lettuce wraps, it was juicy and the sauces were like warm hugs to the burger. The sides weren’t just plain house potatoes; they were crispy yet flavorful.“

“MIMI IS AMAZINGGGG. We’ve been here MULTIPLE times and her service has consistently been incredible. She’s very attentive, kind, welcoming, and overall a joy to be around. LOVE HER!“

“Fun, Casual Sports Bar, lots of big screens. Comfort Foods, service was good. The noise level was high and while there the music came on but it was quite loud, although we did like the playlist. That being said, we're a group of 50 year olds, so noise level probably affects us more😜“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Love this place beyond words!!“

“Sat to grab a couple apps before the game tonight our waitress was amazing and management was incredible definitely will be coming back!“

“Food was great the view is phenomenal the only thing I did not like Is the fact we had a reservation for a table for 5 And the waiter could only accommodate a table of 4 with the 5 th on the side facing the wall For this reason I give it a 3 star passing note fair enough I think“

“Beautiful hotel bar with attentive staff.“

“I absolutely love coming to Urban Wild with my family. The staff is great very attentive also shout out to Tim! The music is good and the food is amazing and its a place my child enjoys hanging out withe her friends since they offer other game options not just bowling. Its our favorite place to be.“
