“Amazing experience! Julie is amazing! Great food and drinks!“

“Awesome place. If you know Bristol or Warren you know market Street. And karaoke every other weekend 🎶🎤“

“Great bar with good chill vibes, especially the backyard patio. Nice atmosphere for conversation and isn't too loud. Definitely right up my alley. No kitchen, which is fine. It's just meant to be a bar to chill, but plenty of food nearby.“

“love going when Lana is DJing!“

“Never a let down. I make it a point to stop in every time Im in town for work. The food never disappoints. Introduced to my first “stuffy”. I have never had to wait to be seated, food comes out timely and perfect temperature. Im making it a point to try as much as I can on the menu and enjoy my iced tea with simple syrup. Keep the great food coming!“

“This place is awesome. I reached out to Erica for help with a fundraiser I was doing and I was looking for donations. She was extremely generous and did not hesitate to help and donate! This just goes to show what kind of amazing people are running this place. Atmosphere and food are phenomenal as well!“

“Gilligan’s is GREAT! Been my local for a number of years…the owner Amanda has tastefully updated it since buying it, yet kept the great friendly, welcoming feeling. Nice wine list, local crafts & a good place to catch a game! Give it a try“

“I was in town for the NCAA Wrestling Finals. I stopped in with my husband and father-in-law. We loved it! Great food and nice people! We felt very welcomed. Exactly what an Irish pub should be!“

“Hell yeah great place people. Keep it rockin“

“If you’ve never been here, you don’t know what you’re missing! This place will remind you of your grandparent’s home. Nostalgic and so comfortable.

The owner Drew was the man! He was so nice to my work colleagues, let us bring 3 boxes of pizza in to eat and was hilarious.

The whole bar is filled with old collectible items and things you’ll find out a pawn shop. Dartboard and pool table is upstairs.

And the prices!! 4 of us got 2 beers and 2 hard alcoholic drinks - and we were charged only $14.

Can’t wait to be back!“

“great food and prices Alaina was awesome! would recommend“

“Good little casual spot to hang. Family friendly. Had a few pool tables. Tables, high tops, booths.
-Service- good based on the limited people doing both serving and bartending. They were attentive and friendly.
-Food- Personally, wouldn’t go there for food again, However, the drinks were really good and strong.
- Live karaoke was very entertaining! There were a lot of children; so every other karaoke song request was kids singing Taylor swift.“

“Wings were amazing! The beer selection is great and the service was beyond perfect! Will definitely be back!“

“Food & drink we're good, I love it when a restaurant is smart and has a small enough menu that they can branch out into different ideas. The steak gyro was good, tzatziki sauce was bland (needed a hint of mint). Fried cod battered in chips/crisps was perfect.“

“Went there on a Sunday during their live Marima band 3-6pm and DJ dance party 6pm on. Atmosphere made the experience exceptional. Food and service was satisfactory enough. I will go back for the Sunday music experience and buy drinks.

Kid-friendliness: I went there with my sons, and there were other children during Full Bar and live music. I appreciate that“

“French onion soup is the best I have ever had!“

“We had a group of 10 siblings and spouses celebrating our brothers 70th birthday. Amy was on top of making sure we were all seated together, made perfect recommendations for food. We especially liked the Irish nachos, corned beef reuben and fish and chips. The apple pie a la mode, big enough for our group to share was SO good. Thank you Amy for serving up great food, drink and laughs. This is a very cozy spot for young families too!“

“PARTIED HARD HERE IN THE 70,S.!! STOPPED IN CHILLED..!! OK BAR...!“

“We were there yesterday, it had a very friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was amazing. She even gave me a gluten free menu! We had 2, 4 year olds with us. the food came quickly and was yummy! I totally recommend it!“

“My Shawn’s Pub is a fantastic place to gather with friends and make new ones“

“Great food, cigars and staff. A must stop!“

“Stopped by at this cozy place on my way to Boston. The bartenders were very friendly, so I had one of their mules

I ordered their pulled pork combo with fries coleslaw and broccoli, and it was tasty. Nice coleslaw that wasn't heavy with the mayo. Definitely check this spot out if you're in the area for some good bar food.“

“BEEN DINING HERE SINCE THE 70,S..!!! GREAT FOOD, GREAT STAFF, ALWAYS THE BEST.!!! THANKS TOM .!!! MANY YEARS TO COME.. ! BE BLESSED.!! THOMAS...“

“We are sorry it took us so long to discover The Square Peg. Cozy, old colonial vibe, delicious fall sangria and scrumptious comfort food. Our first visit was a perfect complement to our day visiting farm stands and enjoying a beautiful October Saturday. A bonus is that the location could rival Salem in October minus the crowds. Just perfect. We loved the chili with sour cream, cheese and onions on top, the patty melt and the ahi tuna tacos. All were delicious and reasonably priced. We look forward to visiting many times.“

“always a good time , highly recommended“

“Excellent place for darts“

“Tavern 12 is a great place to watch football — and the food & friendly staff is even better!“

“I came by for a night stopover for my trip back from RI to Atlanta. Friendly bartender. He cooks me a good steak and then talks me up on the LLWS. Cheap drinks, local company and good food. 5 stars. Oh yeah. Cash only.“

“One of the best hidden gems. High quality food made fresh. Welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Awesome staff! Made friends the first time we walked in. I’m a fussy person when it comes to eating out, their food exceeded my expectations. Great background music and excellent selection of draft beers!“

“I've been coming here since they opened. some of the best service at the bar. Very friendly bartenders! Plus all the food is amazing!!!“

“I went to meet people who didn't show up. I was there only female customer in a predominantly Spanish speaking club. The female bartender was wonderful and felt instantly comfortable. I could have it taken photos and left but stayed and enjoyed a Corona and conversation.“

“atmosphere was cute... service great. food was subpar. paid $60 for a steak sandwich that looked & tasted like a TV dinner, appetizer that tasted like canned chicken soup, and fries that were definitely under the heater for too long“

“The 99 is already one of my go to restaurants. This specific one was one of the first places I went to with the now love of my life. But I just want to thank the friendliest (I believe she was a cook) who worked at this specific location (North Attleboro, MA) who had an accent (that’s all I know about her, I wish I got her name) I had to take my baby into the restroom for a diaper change and while I was in there I discovered that an old baby food pouch exploded in the bottom of the diaper bag and covered all of our diapers. My son was all over the place trying to crawl off the counter where I made him sit so I could clean out the bag and throw out all of the rotten apple covered diapers 😭 and I was a mess until this wonderful lady who appeared to be a cook there walked in and offered to hold him for me and just held him there next to me, entertaining him in the mirror, talking to him until my mother in law walked in to check on us. Just wanted to recognize her kindness and make it known how thoughtful she was. “I’ve been there, I know how jt is” she said and in that moment I felt a bit of relief knowing that as a mom we are not alone.“

“The food was excellent and the service was great. Some of the other customers were very nice and respectful. Will definitely be going back. Excellent job“

“This place really shocked me. I was not expecting such great prices and great quality food. We ordered a few appetizers to share thinking they wouldn’t be enough for a meal. We have left overs for about 2 days. Their nachos were piled high, and not skimped out on the toppings. Our server recommended the “hoochie mama “ flavored wings and they were some of the best wings I’ve ever had. Perfectly crispy and sweet/savory. The sangria was amazing and I wish I lived closer to come here every weekend. We spent only $60 on 4 apps, and 2 drinks. Can’t beat it“

“Moved in across the street recently and have been in a couple of times already and will definitely be back often. nice place, great food and terrific staff. 👍“

“One of the oldest pubs in the United States, just not the same name lol. The Son's of Liberty drank here! They still serve Half-Yards! A beer drinkers Mecca they have dozens of bottles and draft options. Priced right. One caveat, they haven't painted since the Son's drank there so keep a sense of humor. Great place for some suds. I've been a customer for over thirty years.

Dietary restrictions: As long as it's beer or whiskey you are good!

Kid-friendliness: Not!“

“My waitress was great and bring Murphy, my gsd, was a great treat. The Gorgonzola burger was tasty and made to my request. The club fries were awesome and the rest brought home. Never have I brought fries home.“

“I always appreciate great food so when thinking of Indian you only need one choice. This one, great food, great people and honesty great prices. thank you for what you do!“

“We always enjoy going to the 99!“

“Stopped in for some food and drinks after seeing one of our favorite bartenders post this place on her Facebook and was pleasantly surprised! Me and the wife love us some latin food! We sat at the bar with Phillippa like always wherever shes at and had some of her delicious margaritas. They really are some of the best we ever had! She recommended some dishes and everything was truly amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“This has been my husband and I’s go to place for the last few years. Over the last couple of months we have noticed a decline in portions. While we understand that prices are higher for food, you really shouldn’t bump down in quality, just raise the price if you need to. People may not noice a slight uptick in price but definitely notice the portion size. My husband always favors a whole belly clam and scallops plate and last night he was served that combo with only two whole bellies, the rest were just batter pieces and four scallops that were overcooked , it was so disappointing. My surf and turf was downsized from three baked stuffed shrimp down to two and the prime rib was much smaller. While we could have said something, it should have been noticed before it left the kitchen! We are not people to complain and the staff is always great but I guess my point is, we noticed and may think twice before returning and that saddens us.“

“Darling Cafe with friendly owners!! Thank you so much for the rum and diet coke!! I appreciate your kindness! Great get-away being near the hospitals and Ronald McDonald House.“

“Out-of-towner here - , Walking into Picasso’s Pizza felt like stumbling into the kind of night you don’t plan but always remember. What started as grabbing a bite turned into genuine conversations, laughter with new people, and a sense of comfort that made being in a new place feel easy. The pool table added a playful, laid-back energy that broke the ice and turned strangers into familiar faces fast.

The pizza hit the spot. What really stayed with me is how easy it was to join the locals. I felt no rush, no pretense, just good vibes and honest connection. Picasso’s isn’t just somewhere you eat; it’s somewhere you experience. I left feeling lighter, happier, and grateful for a night that reminded me how simple joy can be when you’re in the right place with the right people. If you’re visiting and want to feel like you’re part of the scene, even just for a night, this is the place.
Last thing, if you are afraid to initiate conversation DONT BE! There are all walks of Lyfe. Have a ball and mingle. You won’t regret it.“

“Eaten here quite a few times, and have always had great service and food. Brad over at the pizza station is definitely the best, because he always makes sure to pay attention to what you’re asking for, and is quick to make things right if something is off. Would recommend anybody to go check this place out as they have multiple different buildings and they all have been the best anytime I have gone by.“

“It’s an excellent place, great prices and great staff. However, on a late night it would be nice if I could actually hear the music that was playing. It’s very distracting to only hear the chatter of other people around me. Other than that. Nice place.“
