Easily my favorite bar ever!! The food is always phenomenal, the drinks are delicious & the staff are incredibly friendly, kind and accommodating. My friends & I are here pretty much weekly because we love it so much!
We had a confirmed table reservation and arrived before our scheduled time. We completely understand that the venue may have capacity limits, but the staff member at the entrance was extremely dismissive and rude when we asked about our reservation. The issue was not the wait — it was the lack of professionalism and communication. We eventually got in, but the experience at the door was very disappointing.
Good atmosphere, good food too! Faith was our server, she was very attentive and really fun. Will be returning!

Elm Street Taproom is a restaurant and bar known for its extensive beer selection and dog-friendly outdoor patio, a rarity in Boston. The menu offers a variety of dishes, with the mac smash burger being a standout. Recent reviews highlight the friendly and attentive service, with staff frequently checking on guests and creating a lively, yet comfortable atmosphere—especially later in the night and on weekends. The restaurant is popular for brunch, with the brunch crunch wrap being a customer favorite. Guests often enjoy munchies like waffle fries and chicken nuggets, and some have experienced the atmosphere as lively without being overwhelming. While the food quality has recently improved, some reviews mention a sneaky hospitality fee added to the bill, which can feel like an unexpected extra. The decor and atmosphere are generally great, though some visitors found the place a bit dark, needing phone flashlights to read the menu. It can also get quite loud, especially during busy times. Recently, there have been some shortages of varieties and food occasionally arriving colder, possibly due to an off day. Despite these minor issues, many customers find Elm Street Taproom a welcoming environment with a great mug club program where members can earn a personal mug and access exclusive events. Overall, it remains a popular spot to dine and have drinks in a lively yet comfortable setting.
