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.
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.
Great little bar. We came here every night during our visit. The baked beans were really good and they had a great selection of draft beers
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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

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. Service was okay, but that's okay, we didn't mind the wait for the most part. It was quite crowded for lunch. For ambiance, it's a pub, it's what I would expect in a pub. 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

Wait times can be hit or miss. Clean though. Sam Adams buried across the way. Food was good, drinks were well made and staff was friendly. Not sure if they even have AC inside, it might've just been struggling in the summer heat. We ended up outside and enjoyed it. It's a fun spot, not maybe the best if you've got kids with ya. But would still give it a whirl if I had to with mine. Would definitely recommend stopping in. Their lobster roll was decent too! read more

Food was excellent. Really really liked the brown bread with the beans. So good. The fish and chips was also excellent and fresh. Tried the house beer and it was pretty good! Boston definitely knows how to make a good beer. Staff was super nice. And the vibe is like a chill bar. I can see it being a lot of fun after dark. read more

The only place where you can drink a cold Sam Adams while looking at a cold Sam Adams. This pub is ok. I had the cheese fries with gravy and they were good. My friend had the nachos and they were very soggy. They do have a lot of beers on draft. I think this place is better for drinks than dinner. Our sever also did not want to take our order or come back to check on us. It would have probably been better to sit at the bar. read more

We ordered ribs and wings, both of them were delicious. The young lady who served us was very gentle and kind. The ambiance was what I expected.. cozy pub just in front of a tourist attraction. Try the beer! ;) read more
I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars, but it's closer to 3 than 4. I came here mainly because it's right across from Granary Burial Ground and I was cold and hungry. Service was good. They were very nice. My food was good. I have no illusions it was gourmet cooking, but the steak tips were juicy, cooked medium as I asked, and had a great flavor. The fries were hot and crispy. The drinks--were terrible. I had a mule, a Paloma, and an aperol spritz. None were made correctly. One was served without grapefruit and in a warm glass. This isn't a gastropub, so I wasn't expecting perfection--but these were all awful. So if you're a beer person, probably stick to beer. The menu is full of bar fare--cheese fries, fish tacos, burgers. There are renditions of the Reuben, beef stew, fish and chips, and more. Prices for entrees run in the low twenties range. This place does have a colorful local flavor. I really feel like this is a place locals hang out. The bartenders seemed to have regulars. If you're a pearl clutcher, this place isn't for you. You can hear profanity fly from time to time. There are TVs and pool tables. My drinks were terrible, but because it gave me an authentic Boston vibe, I'm glad I came here. 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

Nothing but great things to say about Beantown Pub! We are from out of town but have made sure to return every time we come into Boston -- specifically for Megan and her amazing espresso martinis! She took great care of us, and recognized us as soon as we came in because on prior occasions, we made it clear how awesome her espresso martinis were! She also showed us different ways that she has tried espresso martinis, and made a lot of creative drinks that were DELICIOUS. She is such a sweetheart and we will be back anytime we have a chance to go to a Boston again. The bar itself was very clean, had a lot of options of TVs to watch sports on, and a great menu as well! Highly recommend! read more

Great stop on the Freedom trail for lunch and a pint. Casual vibe, great service, draft beer, strong drinks and view of a cemetery...in fact, you can enjoy a pint of Sam Adams while looking at his headstone located directly across the street. What more do you want in a Boston pub? read more

Visited this establishment for the recommended, viewing of Sam Adams grave. Also got hooked on the Oktoberfest while in Boston. Darn this beer for only being seasonal, what ever will we drink the rest of the year. This was our first visit to Boston, so I had to do all the cliche stuff. Had the Boston baked beans. The taste surprised me. They had a hint of sweetness, but mostly mealy, wheaty and savory. The bartop was cool and antique looking. read more
I was hesitant to try this place after reading the reviews, but it was pouring rain and I was exhausted and this was right next door to my hotel so I gave it a shot and I wasn't disappointed!! Plenty of room for social distancing and they're all doing great with the Covid safety measures. The staff were super friendly, welcoming and very attentive! And the atmosphere was very cozy! Especially on a rainy day - I had a cool seat at the window which was perfect for people watching on the busy street. The server recommended the Beantown Burger so I went with that and yum!! It was perfectly cooked (I got it medium) - had a great flavor and plenty of sauce and fixings. The fries were great too! And they had some deal where you pay an extra $1 with your drink and get a huge glass Sam Adams mug as a souvenir so how could I say no to that? I know it's a little touristy but it was fun lol. I also got the deviled eggs to go for my breakfast in the morning before heading to the airport and they were very decent! I'm giving 4 stars bc the prices were pretty steep imo for the type of food it is. My burger and fries was $16! Other than that, everything was great...I'd come back! read more

It was a fun place to look around in. It was convenient to get to. The wings were big with a nice sauce. I got the Paul Revere with a side of beans. The sandwich had a really good flavor. The beans were alright, I may have just been expecting more. The server was nice, we just weren't checked on after the food arrived...which too a LONG time. We did order wings and I know cooked to order they would take a little time but this was almost like the order wasn't rung in for quite a while. There were only two other tables and their food came out in a normal amount of time. I had to flag the server down for sauces ( I didn't notice any sauce on my sandwich) and drink refills. So the food was good but I unfortunately wasn't impressed otherwise. read more

This was an amazing stop. Wanting something simple, we ended up getting haddock bites, stuffed tots, and a chicken sandwich. All were nothing less than amazing! That and some cold beer while watching the Bruins play. What a great time! Place is clean with a supa friendly staff!! Fun to witness the atmosphere and had a great time while making some bar friends! read more

Pleasant downtown Boston's bar, right next to the park... It was a nice atmosphere in the bar playing good oldies music, it was warm-ish inside with serving hot spiked cider.. we tried fried pickles that I wouldn't die for but wasn't bad... lots of other mostly meat options... I guess I don't mind coming again. read more
Very standard pub offerings at an inflated price due to the good location. I definitely have enjoyed stopping in here on the freedom trail (to enjoy some Sam Adams beer across the street from Sam Adams' grave) but I definitely would not go out of my way to check it out. read more

The Beantown Pub is across from the Granary Burial Ground, and to steal a line from the Land and Sea Tour Guide, it's the only place in Boston you can get a cold Sam Adams across from a cold Sam Adams. They had outdoor and indoor seating, the indoor area disrupting any Covid spread with a giant fan, and a nice restroom. The drinks were reasonably priced and a fun break to the day. The server was accommodating to customers who just needs some liquid refreshment to continue the day. read more

I will never, ever go in here again. We walk and sit down, the bartender was keeping herself busy. Then she was done and was facing the bar, looked over her shoulder saw us waiting and walked away. For whatever reason she didn't feel like serving us. She then continues to find things to do after i saw her just picking up glasses and putting them down I decided to call her over. She came took our drink order and walked to the end of the bar and started whispering to her Co worker (in picture) even if they weren't talking about us nothing could be more rude. She didn't even care how it may have looked. Never again read more

Horrible! Sat for 15 min at least. 7-10 people in entire restaurant/bar and two bartenders. Not sure if they had a server because I never seen anyone come to our table. Bartenders cleaning, pouring a beer for someone at the bar and one finally comes out. I am getting excited he is about to ask us for our drink and food order. NOPE walks past us to talk to two men standing at the entrance. Talks for at least 2-3 mins. Ok, he is done now he sees us, waving the menu (it's warm, I am thirsty) BIG Margarita on my mind. NOPE! He looks over and keeps on walking . Goes behind the bar and stands there! Dang... I am done! We stand up and walk out. Security or server who knows who he is because he just watched us leave. He is who greets you at the entrance (well he points and says sit where ever). Then brings you two menus at of course a dirty table. Thanks for my first experience in Boston, and the state. Was looking forward to a bowl of Clam Chowder. Management this shift needs you badly!!! Check in to the hotel and we asked is there any where we can get dinner. They mention your establishment across from the hotel. We said NO WAY! Service is absolutely horrible! read more
