“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!“

“First time at this restaurant and I was impressed. The food was plentiful and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be dining there again.“

“The guacamole tasty like pure lemons. It was aweful. When we informed them how bad the guacamole tasted... the lady who made it became very upset and rolled her eyes at me the reminder of the visit here. They make guacamole in front of you. Another waiter made the 2nd batch which was excellent l. Beautiful view of golf course“

“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.“

“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. 🚎💚“

“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!“

“I was looking for live music and beverages. Popped in here post 10pm on a Friday night and I have to say it was lit. Not only was the melanin flowing, the band was cot darn top notch!

It’s hard to find live music and this quaint bar rivals Wallys.

Don’t be intimated, it’s a welcoming environment.“

“This is my brunch spot. The drinks are great, the brunch food is amazing, come here on a weeknight for a break, watch some games. I get burgers and steaks a lot for dinner. Been here probably 10x and I always enjoy it. And the best part is during brunch, they play the best music (Abba, Adele, Roxanne)“

“Friendly staff, welcoming environment, great drinks!!!“

“The best bar in Dorchester! I was visiting the neighborhood on a Sat. night from out of town, and the bartender and clientele were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even brought in pizza from next door and shared it with everyone. :)

Thank you for your generosity!“

“Had breakfast here. The building architecture blew my mind. Thick old fashioned adornments round the interior doors were astonishing. Booths seemed to have come from a prohibition era bar. Chandeliers with soft lighting complimented the atmosphere. Can only imagine the feels come night time. Food was good, walked up to the window & told them so before leaving. If you're into Bloody Mary's, their house mix was nothing to write home about. Plenty of parking available & if you feel unsafe to drive, rent a room at the lovely Seacoast Inn across the street.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs you guys!!!“

“Good vibes The music needs to be upgraded“

“Fun place with a lot of great beer choices“

“they always seem to have fun things to do between eating and entertainment I definitely recommend Patriot Place I did the Santa stroll and it was fun we met people and hopefully we'll continue to meet more and more people“

“The bartender and the great food.“

“this public House feels like a public home. there is a great community of regular customers who are really nice people. they offer a full bar and food. there is an outdoor area with great ambiance and games. they have a lot of fun weekly activities like karaoke and live music. they also just got in a new pool table with beautiful new cloth and balls. I myself don't actually drink anymore so I don't spend a lot of money when I go there but I am treated like I am important, welcome and wanted. this is a great place to hang out. this is a real review. I don't work for this place in any capacity. I found it a couple of months ago and I'm glad that I did.“

“DELICIOUS FOOD. Very different food fair with choices for all diets. Excellent, friendly service. Good cocktails. I’ll be back !“

“I was here for a party. It was a fun spot for all. Interesting assortment of cocktails, games for all ages, board games, foosball, retro video games, Comfy spaces to hang out and chat. Lots of interesting facts and history learned on the tour too. There is even parking out back which is a bonus.“

“Quiet during the day, good place you have lunch. Their pizza is great. I love bar pizza but that's not what this is. It's like pizza you'd get at a really good pizza place. I'm not talking about fancy pizza places, I'm talking about good pizza places.“

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.“

“Great service and drinks and food are amazing lots of tvs for when games start back up“

“A bar with live music in JP. Remember to bring cash - no credit cards! They've been at this for a while, and the place looks tired, but we need more live music venues to help bands start out. The drinks are not expensive for Boston - worth a look if you find a band who plays the type of music you like.“

“My niece and nephew graduation celebration was held there at Unity. The place is nice, especially after my family and I decorated the tables and chairs. My family and their father's family made some good food. I took some food home. I enjoyed myself, thanks, everyone.“
