Fish and chips
Gretchen M.

What a beautiful spot in seaport to have Bostonian fare and listen to live music. The bowl of New England clam chowder was large and in charge of yummy goodness! The fresh lobster roll had giant pieces of lobster dripping with warm butter and sandwiched between a fluffy, flaky soft roll!!! The live music was loud but not annoyingly that you couldn't hold a conversation! The restaurant was decorated for Halloween and had really nice lighting and decor!! Something that I appreciated but didn't get to enjoy was the outdoor patio seating with fire pits & comfy seating!!! Looked like a great way to beat the chilly air but still bask in the fall autumnal surroundings!!! Our waiter was nice and very attentive. Loved that he was engaging and conversing about where we traveled from!!! Overall this was an awesome establishment that is a nice and inviting spot if you are looking for solid pub dining and live music in the area!!!

City Tap House!

My first stop in Boston and it can only go up from here. Their taps weren't working so no chance of a draft beer. I ordered clam chowder and it was luke warm.

Warm New England Lobster Roll
Ed D.

I made a reservation for Monday night dinner for 11 people to take out my team. The reservation was ready and we were able to sit down as soon as we got there. It's a typical bar restaurant setting. Service was really good and attentive. The food was really good. We got brussels sprouts, corn and crab hush puppies, and chips with street corn dip and all were delicious. I got the warm lobster roll at market price which wasn't bad at $39. It was a very good lobster roll and fries. It filled me up. I didn't drink, but the rest of my team did and they liked the variety selection of beers, mixmixed cocktails, and wine. The bill was around $600 total for the 11 of us which was expected with respect to the area and the quality food and drinks we got.

Thai Shrimp salad w/ extra shrimp

Nice light dish, very flavorful. Tasted wings and fries, they were good as well. Would return to try other items on menu.

Crab Cake Plate Charred Brussel Sprouts Margherita

A group of 6 of us were trying to secure a dinner spot and luckily City Tap House had some availabilities! We had a 7 pm reservation and were promptly seated once we arrived. We were waiting for the rest of our party and our host got us started with some drinks while patiently waiting for everyone. I asked for a drink recommendation and ended up with the ginger cucumber margarhita and loved it! For food, we ordered Brussels sprouts, hummus, and elote corn for the table and I got the crab cake plate for myself. Restrooms were also clean! Overall had a very enjoyable time and would come back with a group.

Pork Nachos

Spur of the moment hunt for an espresso martini and lunch. Honestly not bad! Location is a bit removed from the business of Seaport, so probably doesn't get as much traffic as other restaurants in the area. As far as the espresso martini goes- If I was given it without having been told it was hazelnut infused, I wouldn't be able to tell. It just tastes like a regular espresso martini, but it's decent! A bit too sweet, not super strong. And at a fair price point for seaport. I've also never been to a place that offers it on the rocks vs straight up, interesting option. The Pork Nachos were a solid choice, not too big of a portion but enough for two. The chips didn't become soaked immediately, but our main critique was that toppings weren't distributed throughout, and that there wasn't a ton of pork. The feta topping was generous though, would get these again.

Cute place and the service was great. Had the Nashville cauliflower and it was incredible. I ordered the meatloaf burger and it was not for me. The mustard they served on the side was great, but I didn't care for the rest... wasn't bad, just not my favorite. The beignets were so good though!! Get those for sure!

undercooked tasteless pizza
Steve F.

Pizza was terrible and undercooked, fish and chips were greasey fries and a piece of fish the size of my palm. The waiter struggled to make eye contact and wore a dirty, stained, sweatshirt. Wouldn't come back here if I had a coupon. I gave it two stars because one of the two beers was cold.

Ask the Community - City Tap House

Is the brunch available on the weekday?

I am nearly 100% sure they only host brunch on the weekends.

What kind of music is played?

Pretty eclectic mix. I've heard anything from throwback hip hop to top pop. Shift manager's choice?

Is this place kid friendly for brunch?

100%!! They were awesome with my kiddos!

We stopped in at Durty Nellie's for a drink and a break from the heat. Durty Nellie's is an old…read morepolice bar and kind of divey, but it was comfortable and we enjoyed our visit. It wasn't particularly busy on a Sunday at 1pm, which was fine with us, and the other patrons were all middle aged (like us) or older; the youngest person was the bartender. The music wasn't blasting, there were hooks under the counter to hang your purse (which was much appreciated), and the gender neutral washroom was clean. The bar catered to beer drinkers, of course, and the only wine they offered was Pinot Grigio for $9 a glass, but it was nice and refreshing on such a hot day, and at least it wasn't something disgusting like Moscato.

Cute little dive bar that is a favorite for locals. I popped in here as a tourist while I was on a…read morepub crawl tour and we were lucky enough to get a spot at the bar. It really is very tiny, so just be aware that seating is sometimes limited. They didn't have too much on draft, thought some of that was due to the Scottish being in town for the World Cup the week before. We went with lemon drop shots, and the bartender was very transparent about the fact that he was out of most of his supplies due to the Scottish. No fault at all to them for that because that was the situation at every bar we went to. Service was friendly, the shot was nice and strong, and it was a nice little spot. Beyond drinking, there isn't really much going on in the bar in terms of activities, but there were TVs. So, watching sports here is definitely an option. I'd definitely say that this spot is worth popping in if you are enjoying a night on the town, but that it probably shouldn't be the only spot you go to.

The service is great too, they clear your empty plates right away. The restaurant's right by the harbor, so you get an awesome view of the ocean while you eat. It's seriously a great spot.

Came at probably the busiest time, Sunday at 6pm. They said the wait was an hour & 10 mins but I…read moregot the alert text around the 53 min mark. I decided the this spot since it was indoors mostly and it had rained all day. There were several people helping working the hostess stand. There were several folks walking around gathering info. i.e. Table 15 was paying etc. The noise is busy and charming. There are several TVs streaming sorts. Go sports! You can stand at the end of the bar and order drinks if you like while you wait. After I was seated, I was promptly brought water and had my order taken. I got a cup of chowder and the lobster roll (hot with butter). I got both my chowder and lobster roll in under 10 mins of ordering. Well oiled machine. The chowder was hot and salty and creamy. The perfect combo with the rainy weather. The lobster roll was good but I wish it would have been hot. It was closer to room temp than hot. The lobster roll was marked market price and was 40$. The cup of chowder was 10$. Overall good spot when you have the time to wait but not worth the 40$ price for the lobster roll.
