I even tried looking but all I found were keno tickets and cocktail napkins beneath the barflies feet. It is most certainly a place to overload yourself with a couple handfuls of Heineken before rolling the dice on 1A. I suggest you head towards Revere to cool off a bit before heading back up towards Swampscott.

It is a complete dive. We love it. Nope, no fancy tablecloths or candles. The ambience is that of a dive bar, however if you want great food and a cheers like atmosphere, this is your place. The also have special events like musical bingo, Halloween party and a night before thanksgiving party. Give them a try. We have never not been treated well.

A definite stop here is required if you're eating in Lynn.

First off- hectic location due to a shared parking lot area in a industrial area. Not enough parking! Also, small venue inside. It was plenty for this Saturday afternoon but if they run an event it must be shoulder to shoulder. Awesome graffiti on the back wall but missed opportunity in their plain bathrooms. Shuffleboards and games are always a win. Small merch corner. The true win here... the bartender! He was personable, outgoing, loud and downright having fun! He spread the vibe. He was super nice to our kids, even letting our little guy get a little tour. Bent was a great time!

Went to Taqueria Doña Julia in Lynn for a quick bite…read more Food was good. Tacos were very good and authentic. Would have liked to be able to add to it, but they don't really have a menu. Menu is written in chalk on a board and not super helpful. Ordered a cheese pupusa, too. Pupusa was meh. I've definitely had better. I would probably never order a pupusa from here again. Horchata was very good. My one complaint is the music. It was so loud, you could barely hear anyone; including the server. So I really couldn't have any kind of conversation with my friend. We ate and left.

Last day of vacation and again just driving around seeing the sites. Susan was a great server!…read more Kept it simple today. I had the Nikki salad. Husband had the clam chowder and haddock sandwich with onion rings. The food was great and exactly what we were looking for. The clam chowder was one of my favorites from all we sampled this trip. The addition of dill put it over the top! Seems to be another hot spot in Swampscott. Very busy place and a lot of locals. Glad we found it!!

We ate at the bar for lunch and the bartender was attentive and service quick. Dinner last night equally great service. Both times a member of our group had a Halibut Sandwich with onion rings and not a crumb remained. Hinton: have everything on it. The salads were very satisfying and good portions. Hint: Try the blackened chicken. The interior is warm and inviting. Enough noise to know you are in an interesting place. Look forward to returning.

Made a pit stop on Saturday night at Lazy Dog Sports Bar, which is located in Wyoma Square, Lynn…read more We have never been but have heard a lot of good things about steak tips and chicken.....two of our favorites. Upon entry, we saw a busy bar scene....football games on the tv's and lots of people chatting and having a good time. The dining room, which is located just off the bar area, was kind of small, but was perfect size for the crowd! We were seated rather quickly and given menu's and drinks! We quickly found out Lazy Dog was a family-locals bar, which is a good thing! The vibe was everyone kind of knowing each other and enjoying the food, company and drink. We ordered and the food came rather quickly. We had the caesar salad with grilled veggies and the chicken breast dinner with fries. Both were brought out with hefty amounts on the plates. All the food was great tasting. I had a small dinner salad, which was fresh and perfect size. The chicken I had was tasty, cooked perfectly and plenty. The caesar salad was fresh, as well and we raved about the grilled veggies that came along with it. I wish I ordered the baked beans....but I didn't! I plan to when I return. There is nothing like baked beans and dinner! We wish we could have hung around for the music, but they did not set up in time for us to watch them play. Again, it seemed like a lot of patrons were waiting for the music because they have heard them before....which is great for local, neighborhood places. FYI, entry is in the back. Also, parking is easiest around the back.

You'll go for the great Italian food but on your first visit order The Burger. All of the dishes…read morelooked great but I rationalized if an Italian restaurant has a burger on the menu it must be special. It's made with a combination of Wagu beef, short rib and filet mignon. It was the best burger I've ever had. I'll go back and order an Italian dish but the burger was incredible. Not as an after thought, the service was impeccable. Our server was personable and knowledgeable and her helper was a real pro. One of the owners stopped by to check on us with sincerity and chat unhurriedly. Rossetti's is a must!

The owner, Chef Bobby, was kind enough to chat with us, & we learned about the passion behind the restaurant. The Rossetti brothers started selling meatballs & sausage from their mother's kitchen at a young age, & their legacy lives on at Rosetti, an upscale Italian restaurant known for its perfectly executed cuisine & exceptional hospitality. We enjoyed the crispiest calamari & arancini, followed by standout dishes like chicken cutlet with spinach & buffalo mozzarella in pink sauce, & a side of broccoli rabe. We finished with a limoncello ricotta cake, the perfect ending to an incredible meal.

It was a friggen mad house. Usually the Porthole is the spot to be that night, but everyone had the same idea my friends and I had apparently. By 10:30pm you could barely move and I'm pretty sure 85% of Lynn was there. Anyways, it's usually not like that they offer more than the smaller bars do. You can play darts, pool, they offer karaoke, the bartenders even gave my friends and I some cards to play with one night. If you're looking to have a good time with some friends and you happen to be in the Lynn area this place is definitely worth checking out.
