Awesome real pub/tavern feel. Large long wood bar that wraps around kitchen gives plenty of seating. Rails along the perimeter that look out windows for people watching while drinking. Back of the bar has additional table seating and pool tables. Plenty of TVs to watch the game. Lots of beers I. Tap. Plenty of staff. Nachos were good...albeit smaller than other places. Also, great location. Do not pass this place by for a quick drink and app. read more

Good spot to stop in for a beer while cooling off from the heat of walking the Freedom Trail. Looks small from the outside but is pretty big on the inside. Bartenders were very nice. read more

Good atmosphere and a great place to meet and talk to locals and tourists visiting Boston Good location also

This pub really reminds me of something out of a movie. It's dark, clean, but not too clean, loud and buzzing... alive. The drinks were good, but they had very little alcohol... more juice than anything. The staff is nice and they work quickly to get your order and make your drinks. The location is really convenient because it's in the middle of all the hotels so I'd come back again late night if I stayed nearby. read more

Cool place. Old timey diner feel, which was what I was looking for. Awesome, friendly staff that hustled! Breakfast was hot and well prepared. Delicious. Wish we had returned here for every breakfast... no other "fancy" restaurant came close to the quality. And if you return in the afternoon sit by the window that overlooks the Grainery Burial Ground... and enjoy a cold Sam Adams beer, while looking at the cold Sam Adams resting place. read more

We ate dinner and two breakfasts/brunches here and we are BIG fans! Great service and loved every single thing we got - breakfast burger and blueberry pancakes were outstanding! The fried haddock bites, tater kegs and lobster mac-n-cheese were so delicious. My lattes were good too! We will be back ... definitely turned into our fav little Boston spot for sure!!! read more

The food was okay (once it finally came), the service was terrible! Went on a slow day, and they still managed to lose my order, sat forever waiting in front of an empty glass. But luckily (for whatever reason) she charged my card soon as I ordered so I didn't have the ability just to walk out. yay! read more

Great standard American bar/restaurant. Great spot to watch football there are lots of TVs, pool tables and a whole back section. Very large bar for the area. Food was very good, I got the chili and it had a small kick but great flavor. Our server was super fast. We had a large group of 10, she got everything right and brought us our drinks really fast and made sure to keep coming back for refills. read more

Their website says it's the only place you can drink a cold Sam Adams by a cold Sam Adams and I think that's hilarious. Had to come, of course! It's right off the Commons so it's an easy location. Service was good. It's a seat yourself type of place. My burger was phenomenal but ironically, the Beantown beans were not good in my opinion. They tasted old for lack of a better explanation? I'm from the South so I've had my fair share of baked beans and these were not it. Just don't order them and you'll love the food here- like I said, the burger was fab. Not sure if there's AC - it's not cold but it's not as hot as outside so do with that what you will. Prices are average, maybe even better than average depending on where you are in Boston. read more

I have been here several times and it's always been a great! When you walk in you definitely get that pub feel and there is so much space! A huge bar, lots of tables and seats as well as a pool table area are what await you when you walk in. The food has always been excellent! It's a great combination of different American classics from chicken to burgers to sandwiches. This visit, I ordered the Beantown Burger while my husband got the Chicken Tender Platter. The burger was cooked very well and their savory house sauce gave it a very nice flavor. My husband says his chicken tasted very nice with the spicy sauce he had it tossed with. They both came with French fries which were nice and crispy and seasoned well. The portions are great and the food came out quickly. The waitresses were also very friendly and made sure to come check on us often. Thank you to all the staff for a great meal and experience! read more

Convenient location-- right outside of Park St station. One of the more "well-known" pubs in Boston, chock-full of the city's sports culture. Worth a shot for tourists, locals a 50/50 if you want to come back here. Really middle of the road kind of place. Came for dinner on a Thursday night with a friend, it's a seat yourself kind of place. Lots of TV's playing a myriad of different sports and a pool table. That was awesome. Food is unfortunately average at best. Soft pretzel nugget appetizer was decent for the price but pretzels were overly salty, easy cheese dip was the best part. I ordered the Sam Adam's grilled chicken sandwich-- the portion was huge but the chicken was just okay and the bread was cheap, and not toasted. Fresh veggies were a bit tasteless and made the bread soggy. Not restaurant quality, reminded me of school lunch a bit. I regret not trying the baked beans, I'm sure my review would have been a bit better had I tried them. Overall, good place for some sports, drinks, and fun with friends but food is just okay. read more

Great choice for bar food and a drink. I ordered the burger and it was actually quite delicious. The menu offers a variety of interesting choices. It was later in the evening and my party and I decided to try this place out for a quick meal. The Red Sox's were in town playing and the bar had a lively feel too,it. It's in Boston after all. My friend ordered the pastrami / corned beef Paul Revere sandwich and said it was absolutely delicious. Of course I ordered a Samuel Adams beer during my meal. Everything was great. Thank u. Solid choice. read more

Sooo besides the smell in there which I can understand being a bar.. the staff was pretty rude and my friends and I felt very uncomfortable. The tables with seats right next to the front bar that's facing outside we were standing by and then got told to move to the back even though no one was standing or sitting there. Then we moved all the way to the back to that bar area and was told to move again, which we understood because they are coming through with trays and such but the way it was communicated to us was very odd and rude. And lastly, went to one more spot to try stand and get a drink, because at this point still hadn't got served or acknowledged by anyone and was told to move again. Just an all-around uncomfortable experience. read more

So for a pub my expectations weren't very high but this was a gem. Getting served was a little confusing but once my server knew I wanted to order she was very friendly. Surprised by how many vegetarian options they had! The stir fry was steaming when it made it to me. They had a large selection of alcoholic beverages. My only complaint is I really wanted a slice of pie but the kitchen closed before I could order! As the other review had said. Have a cold Sam Adam's while staring at cold Sam Adam. read more

Good food, with good beer there's not much else I can ask for out of a pub. Beantown is the place to go if all you really want is an iconic Boston bar where you can play pool and get a drink. On my most recent visit to Beantown I got the boneless Buffalo wings and my boyfriend got the BLT. The food was good and exactly what you would expect for bar food. It's nothing special but still hits the spot. read more

We had a great time at the Beantown Pub. I've been going for years and it hasn't failed me. Had a summer frozen drink at the bar - 10/10. The service was great - wicked fast and super friendly. Sitting at the bar is a great experience if you can manage it. The ambiance is a bit loud but it's part of the charm. It's a great place to stop by. I recommend the Reuben or the steak tips. read more

Being a tourist in the city this place was a must. We were certain the drinks would be cold but just hopeful the food would be good. The food was good! I had the lobster tacos but really like the tater kegs appetizer the best. The food did seem a bit overpriced though. Service was decent but it was starting to get busy and seemed like there weren't enough waiters. The inside was kinda cramped too. read more

Stay away from this place!! Had drinks last night and my wife had placed an order for food and was not what was ordered. They did bring another order but service was not that great.

I reached out to this place about a private event a total of 19 times over a three month span (I wish I was joking). This included calling, dming, emailing, showing up in person, and not once have I heard back. I've never experienced this from an establishment, and just don't bother reaching out to them if you want a response. read more

Nothing crazy special here - decent enough variety of beers, super close proximity to The Orpheus concert venue where we were headed later that night. Took awhile to check out which sucked because we were in a bit of a rush. Very old-school divey bar with what appeared to be some decent food options too? Not enough TVs for sports broadcasts i.e. college football Saturday. read more

Having our tour guide point out where Sam Adams was buried, (across the street at the Granary Cemetery,,) and letting us know that you could go to the Beantown Pub and have a cold pint of Sam Adams while looking at his grave; my husband wanted to stop in and experience it. We only had beer but they were nice and cold and the bartender and other patrons were friendly. So if you're in Boston; try it....have a cold Sam Adams while gazing at the grave of a cold Sam Adams. read more

Excellent food, great atmosphere, fantastic friendly service. Looking forward to coming back next time I go to Boston!!

4/5 stars but I'm taking one star off because they skipped my friend's songs!!! Beantown Pub! What do you guys have against Dreams and Nightmares :( The cheesy fries were delicious and the gravy was the star of the dish. For only $13 you and your friends can split this savory dish while spilling tea. We wanted to accompany our snack with a game of pool but they only allow $2 worth of quarters to be fed into the pool table machine. And so, that would require to handle the quarter machine and I was too scared to work that. So maybe next time! Overall great service, fun dive bar feels, and AMAin fries and gravy. read more

What can I possibly say that hasn't been said before. Iconic Boston eatery servicing all the classic Boston dishes. Place is always busy and it gets a bit dirty by late afternoon. Floors have lots of debris, tables have remnants of prior diners like water rings and crumbs. Seat yourself joint so you typically can only find an open table that could use a cleaning-so ask your server to freshen the table then come back for a drink order. Great place to watch the local sports teams. The avocado sandwich is really awesome if you just have to stick your your plant based diet. No Boston Cream pie for desert - supply chain issues was the excuse we got from our server. read more

Can't comment on the food as we were not acknowledged to put in an order. Upon entry there's a sign that states " Seat yourself." We did, waited 10 minutes, noone came over , so we grabbed menus off the bar. After another 10-15 min, still not acknowledged. Some waitress walked by so we stopped her and asked how we order. She, in a matter of fact tone responded with did anyone give you those menus? We replied no, noone came over , to which she again in a crap tone responds thats why you aren't getting served. We obviously annoyed her as she was quite nasty . We walked out; how are non locals supposed to know the logistics of this place when NO SIGNAGE is posted and noone acknowledges you in the first 10 minutes youre there??? We noticed several people walk out from sitting at empty tables complaining amongst themselves about lack of service so this place doenst care about customer service, tourists will still stop in due to the location. read more

Horrible service!!! Sitting on patio waitress waived to me twice but never came to take our drink order. After 20 minutes she waited on table behind us. We left without ordering read more

This place is a 10/10. We were in Boston for 5 days over St Patrick's day and we first stopped at Beantown after our flight. Immediately, we were greeted with amazing food and a great staff. Over the next few days, we found ourselves returning to Beantown for the incredible food, welcoming staff, and the rugby games. We tried everything from the lobster roll, burgers, wraps, hotdogs, and wings. Everything was so good. Everything you'd want on your first trip to Boston. Beantown can easily be a one stop shop for the best wings, lobster roll, and wraps in town. I highly recommend this pub. It truly made our trip special and allowed us to introduce our Irish friend to the best first experience in America. Special thanks to Sharon who was so generous and hospitable to us. We felt like regulars after only a day. Our wait staff and bartenders were incredible as well. Matt, Michael, Bailey, and Kathryn made this place extra special during our stay. read more

This pub is in the center of many tourist attractions, so, it is an obvious tourist trap, if I can say that. I ordered hotdogs dish which took for ever to deliver to me. I was sitting at bar, and the bartender guy showed least interest to interact with not only me but the rest of the patrons at the bar. Obviously talking to coworkers was more fun. Finally I received my food, the dogs topped with chili and potato salad on the side was the most sad thing I ever had since last year! Beside the fact that cleanliness, in this establishment is questionable. This place maybe good for just drinks, but do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. read more

Very cute pub in Boston--really liked the vibes. It was quite popping on a weekday night. Got the Paul revere sandwich with a side of Boston beans. The sandwich itself was really really tasty. I loved every single bite of it. All the ingredients tasted great together. I've never had Boston beans but it was an experience. It is slightly sweet, which I did not expect! read more

Have had different experiences here upon multiple visits. Depends on the staff of the night you visit really. One bartender is amazing but the young long dark haired guy is awful. If you sit at a table the service is super slow or non existence. The bar tender will allow you to order from him until the bar gets full then he tells you to order through server who is again non existence. Bathroom never has soap or napkins - makes you wonder where the employees wash their hands after taking a s***. read more
