Katsu sandwich
Eva A.

Strong, creative drinks. Food is a hit or miss - the sweet chili shrimp is AMAZING, very lightly fried and decadent. A must get. Eggplant dip is okay, the pita is very soft and warm though. I expected more from the katsu sandwich, which to me was just a typical fried chicken sandwich. While I found the decor inside to be a little stark and not the coziest, all 3 bathrooms were clean and our waitress was super nice and checked on us many times throughout our meal. Glad I checked out audobon! I could see myself coming back soon.

Tacos
Jerrick C.

4.6 stars Came here the other week on a Tuesday when they have taco specials. $8 for a taco is pretty pricey but I'll admit, they were pretty darn tasty and BIG. I got the chorizo tacos and the carnitas tacos. The carnitas were ok but the chorizo tacos were DELISH! Also got some queso and chips. They queso had nice flavor but had a weird consistency: almost as if it was just melted grated cheese and some spices added into a hot pan. Despite the low number of chips, they were great and tasted homemade. Their drinks are also fantastic. Overall it's a cool spot for bites and drinks. Kinda pricey but they delivered with the flavor. Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Flavors: 4.5/5 Drinks: 5/5

We at 9 on a sat and got seated immediately. The drinks were good and the food was delicious! We got the katsu sandwiches and they were huge. For $16, it was a good deal and super delicious. I'd go back if I'm in the area!

Chicken katsu sandwich
John M.

Dim, hipster vibe restaurant and bar with an interesting blend of modern and classic decorations. Staff were welcoming if also short staffed for dinner on a Wednesday. The katsu chicken was the star of the dinner followed closely by the dirty fries. the chicken was well done with the bun, pickles and aioli complementing it well. The dirty fries were very good and filling, with the chorizo being a welcome touch. Unfortunately the salmon risotto was disappointing. The risotto was rather bland and had a fishy taste (perhaps from crab juice?) while the salmon was heavily salted.

Burger and fries

If you're looking for an above average bar experience, Audubon is a great bet. I've been dying to try this place and definitely did not leave disappointed. It's located right near Fenway Park, tucked away on a busy street. On the outside, it doesn't look very special, but inside it's different from your typical bar. With dark lighting and candles lighting up each table, you get a slightly more intimate experience dining here. It is slightly distracting having huge TVs playing sports games (like most bars have) so I'd hesitate saying that this place has an ultra romantic, date night atmosphere. Still, we really enjoyed our overall experience here. The wait staff were busy but friendly, and got us started with cocktails which were delicious. I ordered the mulled wine which was super flavorful -- with a stick of cinnamon and a slice of orange inside. For the main course, my partner and I split a burger and a steak sandwich which were both great. The burger was fresh and juicy, and I loved the crispy fries and house sauce that came with it. The steak sandwich was tangy and PACKED with mushrooms, which I also enjoyed. I'd love to stop by here again to try some of their other menu items!

Hailey-made specialty

Really gem hidden in the Fenway area. The cheese board is surprisingly one of the best I have had. They didn't skimp out on high quality cheese. Hailey, the bartender, can make you a custom drink (in non-busy times) that was very yummy. Ask her for the "Roger That"

We came here for a late night snack and drinks, and it was a great time! We each ordered two drinks in total, all of which were delicious. The star of the night was our server, Peter, who was amazing and very helpful! He recommended to us the pretzel, which I can easily say was the best dish of the night. We spent two hours here just chatting, enjoying the music, and snacking. This restaurant/bar is a great place to go to for a relaxing fun night that's close to Fenway.

We stopped in to Audubon on our way to Fenway Park. We had reservations and they sat us right down and service was truly excellent. I love the atmosphere of Audubon and how their staff treats you. You feel like you have more than one waitress that cares for you and it's a great feeling. No confusion just straight up get your drinks get your food and treat you really really well. We loved the shrimp appetizer and our dinners were terrific. Seasoned well and cooked perfect! Great experience!

We threw a party here for about 20 people and were SO pleased. We had some of all the appetizers; some favorites for me were the ricotta dip, the hummus and the spicy brussel sprouts. Audubon also had both great cocktails and mocktails. All the servers were super friendly and attentive. It's a pretty restaurant (albeit very, very dark). I will definitely return here.

Really excellent food, drink, and ambiance! The lights and fluffy palm plants on the patio were a fun vibe as the sun set. We were lucky to stop by on Taco Tuesday and enjoy a whole selection of margaritas and tacos. The fish taco was my personal favorite, but the Barbacoa and Carnitas were also really good. They were a decent size for their $8 price. The margaritas were soooo delicious! And the rest of their cocktails were creative and the rest of folks in my party said they were all very good and strong!

Great service and food. Not the brunch ambiance we were looking for; has more of a typical bar feel. The food was great; no complaints about it actually. Highly recommend the burger and dirty fries.

We arrived for our whirlwind 1 day Boston day with a few things planned. The Wig Shop was a spot I had earmarked as a maybe. On the way to Boston by train from New York, I read an article of great bars in all of America, and the Wig Shop had made their list. I showed my gal as we were in route to Boston, and we agreed that Karma was leading us there. I checked about a reservation, but ended up going over early to try and beat the walk in crowd. That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect. It was nice that the universe pointed us towards this great Boston spot.

This place was awesome!!!…read more If you are a Gen X'er, and love great cocktails, you will love this place! So we are from out of town; Texas, to be exact, and we were in Boston on vacation. We were looking for a place we could get some drinks and appetizers, and maybe watch some sports. A person in our group found this place online, so we gave it a try. We loved it! The 80s & 90s decor, as well as the 80s & 90s music they were playing made it an instant hit for our Gen X group. Every single song that was played was on my personal playlist, so we sang along and danced at our table to the tunes that took us back in time. There were some early 2000s songs played, too, but all songs played were songs we know and love. So needless to say, we loved the music!! Also, the drinks...oh my, the drinks. They were so, so good! Some in our group had the Adult Caprisun, including myself. It was so tasty, and served in an actual pouch, which brought me back to my 80s childhood. Another in our group ordered the Pink Flamingo which came with a little inflatable pink flamingo that you could take home with you. We noticed that the drinks were just perfect, too; not too strong with alcohol, and not watered down, either. The food was okay. It's bar food, so it's not going to knock your socks off or anything, but it hits the spot if you are drinking and hanging with friends. Our server was good. She was attentive to our needs and took good care of us. It was interesting to me that we, a group of age 50 somethings, were the oldest among the clientele, as everyone else was probably in their 20s or early 30s, but we didn't care. We had a great time! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because someone in our group wanted to watch the Red Sox game, and apparently it was on Apple TV that night and the bar didn't have Apple TV.

The atmosphere is very casual and low-key, perfect for grabbing drinks and a bite without any pretense. I ordered a flatbread listed as a Margarita, but it was more like a cheese pizza than a true Margarita. It was still decent, just not what I expected. The online menu did not match what was available at the restaurant, which made ordering a little confusing. On the drink side, the wine selection was underwhelming, but the beer list was solid, and the cocktail menu stood out. They clearly put more focus on mixed drinks. This is not a fine dining destination, but it works well for what it is, a laid-back bar with better-than-average food and a great drink program. I rate it 3.5 stars, but will round up to 4 for the strong service and cocktails. It is a good choice if you're looking for a casual spot downtown with good energy.

We made friends with a super cool guy sitting next to us at the bar while having lunch at Select…read moreOyster Bar who recommended this place. He said it's the best bar in Boston. So of course we had to see for ourselves! This is an upscale bar and the decor looks like a sitting library. They take reservations but we didn't have any so be prepared to take your chances at the bar - even on a weekday during lunchtime. We ended up standing by the bar and ordered two old fashion's. Oh my goodness they were SO GOOD. Expensive but worth it. Eventually a seat at the bar did open up so one of us sat and the other stood. We only stayed for one drink but the food people were ordering looked good. And the other drinks looked good too. The bartenders were also friendly. I would say the attire is mixed but mostly smart casual for the daytime. There was a couple visiting their daughter in college who were casually dressed so I really don't think it matters. At least not for the daytime. Money is good whether you're wearing yoga pants or a nice dress .

Wait... but I'm giving two stars. Yes. I arrived and the man at the door looked me up and down, then said, "yeah, we're pretty full." and stood there, hand on the door, still closed. I said "I'm okay with that." he sighed "okay." and finally let me in. Not a nice greeting. I went in and waited at the gorgeous bar, just as cozy as I had hoped and got a drink. I had a negroni and it was meh. I decided to leave because this was not the experience I was hoping for. Cozy setting, Great location, Dismissive rude staff ruined the whole thing. Busy is one thing but rudeness? Not okay.
