Doesn't get much more Boston than this. Great beer selection perfect pub food awesome music and pool tables what more do you want?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This place is the bomb. Not only three pool tables, but crazy jumbo lobster roll and can double lobster for almost nothing. Staff are so joyous. Good place. Highly recommend. read more

Arrived on a Saturday afternoon to sit at the bar and have a bite to eat. We ordered a drink and sandwich. Food was excellent. Bartender was awesome and friendly and chatted with us about Boston. We had a great meal and nice time! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great vibe, good food! Right across from the historical burial ground. Everyone that worked there was super nice! They seemed to be understaffed, so everyone working was stretched thin, but they were all so nice about it. The staff was great, but I recommend management staffing more people. Definitely recommend! read more

We stopped in here for a drink and tried the lobster roll which was the most reasonably priced one we had. It was also one of the best tasting which came with a decent portion of fries and Cole slaw . Service was friendly too. Many options for seating at the bar , tables, side counters and outside. Definitely will go back. 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

10/10 menu! I've made it a personal goal to try every handheld there and each one has been great! The Beantown burger is easily in my top 5 all-time handhelds list, but the steak and cheese, Paul Revere, and honey chicken sandwich are high recommended too. Best of all, it's one of the only places in downtown Boston with pool tables (3 of them in the back, $2/game). Service is usually pretty quick, and it also has a great pub type atmosphere read more

Stopped in for lunch, started with the baked beans, that were frost created here, and Brown Bread. Also had a lobster grilled cheese, that was so good.

Neat pub across from a famous cemetery, with great staff. Unsure why this place only rates 3 out of 5 on average for other Yelpers...I had a great time! Came in on a Sunday mid-morning after the tourist-y stroll through the Granary Burying ground. Had a few things on my bucket list, as an out-of-towner, that I needed to check off: 1. Boston baked beans 2. Boston cream pie 3. Cold Sam Adams in front of a cold Sam Adams Our servers sat us promptly, gave us a simple breakfast menu with solid options (sausage and egg sandwich was great), and humored me with all 3 of the above requests with good spirits. Food was tasty and not overpriced despite the bar being in prime tourist-activity area. Staff checked in on us regularly to make sure we liked our meal. What's more, at least 3-4 people came in asking specifically to use the restroom - and they were freely allowed to by the bar, which is a really nice touch especially for families with young kids desperately needing some help. Apparently they have pool in the back and other good food options for lunch and dinner. If I'm back in Boston I'd happily drop by for another beer. read more

Having a gluten allergy and seeing mixed reviews, I was a bit hesitant to diner here. My husband and I are in for our wedding anniversary and are staying next door at the Kimpton. We decided to dine in and see if they had anything gluten free (I'm horribly sensitive to it). You seat yourself when you walk in, and your server brings the menus. Our waiter confirmed they had GF bread, so I got the Turkey club (added Swiss), and my husband has the Paul Revere. Our food was served hot, and it was excellent. I'm sure this place is packed out during sporting events - and it was quite busy when we dined in around 5:30 pm. I hate there are so many negative reviews - our experience was wonderful. We will definitely be back! read more

We walked in and it was pretty empty, so we found a nice sticky bar table to sit at. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We ordered a Tito's and Oj, a Jameson orange crush, and fried pickles. The drinks were good and fine. The pickles meh, could've lived without them. They weren't very hot and the ranch tasted bland. The whole kitschy "the only place to have a cold Sam Addams, while looking at a cold Sam Addams" was cute, it's located right across the road from the Granary Burying Ground. It was just okay, with so many other options in Boston I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. read more

The beans were a little bland and needed to be doctored, but it could be me. I'm use to pork and beans. They were good not great. The lobster grilled cheese was delicious and the fries were perfect. Yes the service is slow. But knowing this prior to coming in my expectations were low. The place is a pub through and through. The ambiance is fun! There are pool tables and games as well as outside seating. It was such a beautiful day. read more
