“A great meeting place for friends. Very energetic. Great beer selection and excellent food. Jess, our server was amazing.\nThe jambalaya was simply fantastic and I loved the cheesecake brûlée. I also had the seasonal Downeast Cider which was fantastic.“

“Had an amazing first experience at Legal Sea Foods in Dedham (Legacy Place)! The oysters were incredibly fresh, and the shrimp tostada was absolutely amazing full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The calamari was crispy and delicious, and the crab cake sliders were a standout as well. The clam chowder was honestly the best I’ve ever had rich, creamy, and packed with flavor.
Shoutout to Declan and Hannah at the bar they both did an incredible job. The service was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell they really care about their guests.
Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“Walked in Saturday lunchtime, our party of two got in faster than they predicted, maybe within 10 minutes. Great food and service. Large parties were getting hour plus wait times, so beware.“

“Had dinner at Lucy's while adventuring and it was hands down incredible! Everything was outstanding. The staff, the food, the environment, right down to the ice cold water and beer! 🤣 I will definetly be going again, because I wanted everything on the menu! Thank you Lucy's!“

“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.“

“A true hidden gem for cocktail enthusiasts! If you’re passionate about mixology, this place is a must-visit.

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Might be my favorite bar I have ever walked into. Whiskey, bourbon, scotch selection is amazing, prices are fair, bartender was great, the bar itself if very cool. Only downside is I don't get to East Boston enough to go here every day. If you are anywhere near this place go.“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and service! Stunning atmosphere! Can't recommend highly enough!“

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

“Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere“

“Everybody needs to have a great dive bar. THIS IS IT! Long bar with comfy stools. Lots of seating and standing room along the other side of the room. Limited (but too limited) selection of beers and alcohol which makes it easy to pick one without taking too much time. Bar staff have been around and seen some shit and they aren't going to put up with you're bullshit. They are very nice and super efficient, but they have people to serve. The prices are GREAT, incredible for downtown Boston. I love everything about this place.“

“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!“

“1 thing about the place is, the drinks aren't cheap.
Compared to some places going at 16 to 18
This place is going at 22. All before tax and tips.
Now what makes this place special.
The effort. Most drinks are nicely presented and decorated. The drinks are not the highest in ABV but not low as well. Average of the 4 drinks I had, will put them around 18% to 20%.

The ambience is amazing. Truly a realm of dark arts.
The problem is, they have a small space and you might and will wait for a seat.
And is worth it.
I waited for 30mins. No regrets.“

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

“Hidden gem! Classic bar with insanely good cocktails and food but keeping it real. Beet salad could compete with any high end restaurant. Smash burger and fries - no words. Oh pickle plate is a must - classic sweet to the unexpected root veg and snow pea mix. Great beers new and old. The bartender Mike brings it. He's cool and chill and makes the best subtle recommendations. Great fun to talk with. Great music, great vibe. Already planing a trip back for the reuben. Simple menu done right.“

“Urbanwild Boston Charleston is the place to be. We had such a fantastic time with the family so much to do with state of the art bowling and more.“

“Visited for the first time during a girls’ night out, and I was so impressed! The atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and enjoying a few drinks, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. I absolutely loved the cozy, speakeasy vibe—it made the whole experience feel special. I would definitely come back again!”“

“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.“

“We go to Eastern Standard for a nice leisurely meal after a afternoon Red Sox game. Wait staff is attentive and Johnny on the spot when taking and discussing your order. Food has always been prepared as we like it. Quality, Quantity and presentation prevails. Thanks to the entire staff for making each trip to a game a pleasure win or loose.“

“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!“

“One of the last true local venues in the Boston area. A Real club for real musicians to lay a solid foundation to create original music, build a fanbase and collaborate with peers.“

“Very cool idea. I love not having to chase after the ping pong balls. 🤪“

“Murph was absolutely phenomenal. Great bar. Way better than Lyla’s. Layla’s is touristy and over priced. Come here. Great service and the bar you are looking for. Ally on my second service and got us paper towels, took care of us got us drinks when needed. COME HERE.“

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

“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!“

“Not only is The Substation in Roslindale perfect for the Workhub Community space, but they also have a full bar and public programming now! You can attend public bar nights, book private events, and work from "home" all in the same beautiful, historically rich space. Could not recommend this place more. 🚎💚“

“Wicked delicious food and cocktails. I loved the shrimp flatbread and the Crab cakes.“

“The combination of refined cuisine, attentive staff, and an elegant setting made our visit exceptional. An ideal choice to enjoy a sophisticated meal with clients.“

“Food was amazing, ordered the hotdog which was MASSIVE and delicious and a side of taro fries. Drinks were great. Only thing was the bartender who served us was a bit pushy and passive aggressive for us to be on our way, which was weird. Otherwise, it was great and would come back!“

“Love this place beyond words!!“

“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!“
