“Fantastic dive bar with falling apart pneumatic chairs, cigarette funk, outdoor area and 2 pool tables. Don't order a fancy drink. Basics only here.CASH ONLY and you pay as you drink. We have a bunch of fun here after a semi-stressful Thanksgiving. Thanks for being open!“

“Commercial Street Pub is the kind of place that feels like home—if your home had better beer, great music, and a bartender who could probably run the country if she felt like it. John and Tracy, the dynamic duo running the joint, are like your fun aunt and uncle at a wedding—but with better booze and slightly more control over the jukebox. John knows everyone’s name within 10 minutes, whether you told him or not. Tracy will invite you over for good food and a party within the hour. Then there’s Emily, the bartender. A legend. She pours drinks with the grace of a ballerina and the side-eye of someone who has seen things. Ask her for a drink and she'll make you the best one you've ever had. She’s got a sixth sense for knowing exactly what drink you need—even before you do. The regulars are great too. All in all, Commercial Street Pub is the kind of place where everybody makes it fun. The vibe is exactly what you want in a neighborhood pub: easygoing, cheerful, and just the right amount of quirky. One visit and you’ll understand why people keep coming back. If you’re looking for a pub with charm, great company, and the kind of staff that makes you feel like family, Commercial Street Pub is the place to be. Don’t be surprised if you leave with a smile—and maybe a story or two to tell. 10/10 would drink again.“

“Nonesuch has been one of our favorite sports since it opened. This evening we had a party of 12 for my son’s 8th birthday (his choice of location). Even though they don’t take reservations, we called ahead on Thursday to let them know we would have a big group coming. We waited just a couple of minutes for the table, our food and drinks were amazing and the service was fantastic. We have some particular eaters in our party and all were very happy. This experience made me love Nonesuch that much more as I can fully appreciate that serving a big group this well is not easy! Thank you to our server and the team tonight!“

“Wow. Best dang mozzarella moon sticks.“

“This is a great local place to hang out. Love my Vanilla White Russians and great food.“

“Great chicken parm calzone.. Courtney was great at the bar she made us a mean margaritas.“

“Great music!!! The staff was friendly and dancers were respectful for the most part.“

“Vegetarian options: There are a few pizzas for vegetarians but vegans will have to eat salad again. Didn’t check put non-pizza options cause we were pizza-oriented. Food was good, but we thought it was pricey. Two 10” pizzas and a large salad to split cost $45. We did take out, so left a smaller tip than for table service. If you ate that meal in, you’d drop another 10 bucks for a tip. Not much for that kind of money.“

“A wonderful atmosphere and even better… good beer served at a good temperature. The staff were great too.“

“We had a lovely lunch here to celebrate a birthday. The chef created dishes that looked—and tasted—outstanding. One person in our party remarked that it was the best burger she has ever had. The clams melted in my mouth, the drinks were great, and the dessert was decadent. The space is bright with a spectacular view. We could see Mt. Washington and the beach from our table.“

“Completely ignored by bartenders who were too busy taking selfies when their bar wasn't even full. If you want service don't come here, if you want to wait 20 minutes for a drink this is the place for you. Went Bull Feeney's instead and was welcomed and waited on immediately.“

“We were on a tight schedule to catch a flight home. Deija, our server was so kind and helpful. She put in our order as she seated us, she went above and beyond to make sure we had our meal so we could enjoy and not feel rushed. The haddock sandwich was very good.“
