Staff and service are great. Good draft beer selection, with something for everyone. Steak tips were delicious, big portion and plate overflowing with crispy fries. Included side salad was basic iceberg but loaded with cherry tomatoes, croutons, cheddar and just enough red onion -salad also overflowed the plate. Seemed a bit pricey for a pub, until it was placed on the bar in front of me!

Choate Bridge pub for the win. We went on a Sunday afternoon. I was craving fried clams, and this place did not disappoint. Cash only. I got the fried clam plate. It came with a tremendous amount of clams, fries, and onion rings. Perfectly fried. Not greasy. Also, ordered the swordfish special. Huge fresh pieces of swordfish. Perfectly flavored with occasion seasoning. Sides of rice and potato cooked perfectly. Also had the clam chowder and seafood chowder. Excellent flavors. Plenty of fresh seafood. Perfect consistency. Service was excellent. The drinks were Well-made. One of the coldest beers on top we've had in a long time. This is a local place with excellent service and excellent food. It will not disappoint.

Had an amazing time at Choate Bridge Pub - the food was seriously good, and the service? Super friendly, every single time. If you're going, definitely grab a seat in the pub part; the vibe there is just something else. It's cozy, it's got character, and it really makes the whole experience feel special. Totally recommend it if you're in the area or just looking for a place that nails both the food and the atmosphere.

Our food was delicious. Best swordfish tips I have ever had and the onion rings were crispy and not greasy. It was very noisy but that was expected for a Friday evening next to the bar. My only complaint was they don't take credit cards, so come prepared. This should be made clearer when you enter and on the menu so you don't get embarased!

I went to CBP a few weeks ago on a Saturday with my friend for early dinner. The food was excellent and the service warm, friendly and on-point. I did feel a little anxious waiting as there was no room at the bar to sit, being a Saturday afternoon and we waited in a line (not super long wait, it moved pretty quickly) against the wall and the bar seats were very, very close to the line of us waiting to be seated. Definitely WORTH THE WAIT, despite the congestion. If you don't like crowds, sit at the bar. You will be very happy with your meal. enjoy!

Mom visiting from out of town and wanted fried clams so took her to Choate and 6 of us and shared multiple platters and food was amazing so fresh and yummy! Best part of our experience was the server Misha she was so delightful, right on top of everything and dissent event need to ask she was right there with what we needed! Thank you for making experience perfect.

Great restaurant/pub!! Get the Pub Burger or the pizza - famous with folks. Wait staff are excellent so tip well. Cash only, but there's an ATM in the dining room.
