TLDR: while I have mixed feelings about Roundhead, I would go back…read more Love the Peruvian flair and that this is the first Latino owned brewery in Mass. The day I went there was a band playing and there was special ticketed event that forced us to leave (no big deal as we had more than enough time). The space is huge, however compartmentalized, and there's plenty of outdoor seating. Because of its warehouse size and no sound proofing when the band was playing it was incredibly loud with tons of reverberation. The mezzanine is adults only which is helpful as it's right next door to an indoor sports facility and there is no shortage of kids here. Pizza was decent, cooked correctly and really hit the spot after a couple of beers. They utilize an "order at the bar and get a text when your food is ready" system. You then go up to the open air kitchen area and get your food. The beers are serviceable by today's standards with the porter being my favorite. The lagers were also pretty good. Like most folks on Yelp I was surprised by the mandatory 20% gratuity (almost $2 per beer). As someone that ordinarily tips 20-25% in a sit down restaurant I'm a little confused as to how in a place where you order at the counter, pick up your own food and bus your own table the 20% is earned? These situations usually get 10% gratuity from me since I'm doing more than 50% of the work.

Serving a decent variety of brews and offering pizza and other light fare for food makes this a perfect hangout spot and they show a strong dedication to the community. Staff were friendly overall. The misses though would be missing the arugula on the pizza and nothing was said if they ran out or an offered alternative. The beer is also pricy for what it is.... They have good concepts but the taste or execution falls flat for the two I tried. It was also$10 or more per beer (after beer and automatic 20% tip on all food and drink), and these were 13 oz pours were the full size.

My mom and I shared the poke bowl and the schnitzel…read more The schnitzel was much better than the poke. The rice in the poke didn't taste like authentic sushi rice. And the cucumbers had too much salt. But it was a generous portion so most people will like it. The schnitzel had very fresh vegetables and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. The sauce was very good so I'd tightly recommend it. Portion sizes are good. The decor was fun and the atmosphere good. Our hostess was great. What wasn't good was as our waiter. He didn't give me an extra plate when asked. And as I was finishing my meal he hovered over me waiting to take my fork and plate. Not cool as he made me feel rushed. However I would recommend this place to everyone.

Porter Café is one of those neighborhood gems that hits the sweet spot between cozy and quietly…read moresophisticated. Tucked right on Centre Street in West Roxbury, it offers the kind of relaxed pub vibe that makes you want to linger for one more drink or dessert. The bar has an impressive craft beer list and a solid wine selection, and the cocktails are mixed with care--never rushed, always balanced. The food goes well beyond standard pub fare. The pasta dishes are fresh and flavorful, and the burgers are consistently juicy and well-seasoned. Daily specials often surprise with some bistro-level creativity. Service is warm and genuinely friendly, with staff who seem to know the regulars by name. Whether you're dropping in for a casual dinner, a quiet drink, or catching up with friends at the bar, Porter Café always feels welcoming. For anyone in West Roxbury or the surrounding area looking for great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and excellent service, Porter Café never disappoints.

Great ambiance and food. Once they get Jamsey back on the shots it's the best bar in Hyde Park.read more

It is not easy to gain access to this place…read more I arrived here at noon on a sunday, eager to start a UYE day drinking campaign. The door was locked, and the windows were opaque. I wasn't sure if the bar was abandoned, closed, or if they were just unwilling to accept my business. Moments later, what could only be a "regular" sullenly unlocked and opened the door for me. I asked "are you open?" and got an affirmative grunt in response. Master McGrath's is actually quite spacious and clean; the bar has about 15 seats, and is well-lined with small flat-screen TVs, the better to see the Sox beat the snot out of the O's. They have an internet jukebox, and a popcorn machine for free snacking. I knew right away that I was in a bar frequented almost exclusively by regulars; the surprisingly cute female bartender was eager to prepare drinks for the customers walking *in from the back door* before they sat down. I received a fairly standard silent-treatment half hour, followed by a cautious inclusion in some casual conversation. Being a gregarious individual, I soon was laughing and chatting with the regulars, and even had one of them buy me a drink, a favor I returned later. I was not able to get a Jameson - the man who bought me the drink explained that "if there's a bottle of Jameson, I'll drink it all." Of course, I didn't know if he was a manager, owner, or regular customer, but he is apparently important enough to the management that in an Irish pub, they don't stock Jameson. The buffalo fingers are top feckin' shelf. Definitely worth ordering. Hyde Park is a neighborhood that could use some more folks making the trip down to see. Lisa, the bartender, is cute and friendly, and will chat you up about shark week. All in all, not a bad way to spend three hours on a Sunday afternoon.

There was nice decor..bookshelf with random items. There were various sports on the TVs (soccer, squash). For drinks, we got a Guinness, Downeast, Margarita, and Shirley Temple. The Shirley Temple soda was a tad flat but drinkable. My friend said her margarita was just okay. Beers were good. The server refilled my Shirley Temple without asking. Two thumbs up! We ordered three pizzas: cheese, linguica, and hot honey as well as buffalo wings. The waitress warned us that pizza can take a while to come out. We got our wings but they did not come out buffalo. They were very fried and battered. Maybe a bit too fried as they were dark. I asked the server for buffalo sauce on the side. The wings tasted fine, nothing spectacular. I didn't mind having the sauce on the side either. The pizzas did take a while to come out. Each pizza was about ~10-12" wide (personal size). Bar pizza. My husband loved the pizza. I thought it was just okay. There was no cheese pull. The cheese didn't taste cheesy? ll. The crust was thick and doughy. No tomato sauce. It needed some salt and seasoning. My husband and friends liked the hot honey. The linguica was good, tasted like hot dog. Overall, my experience was fine. Not sure if I would come back though. If I did, it would be to try the other menu items.

I always tip, but he refuses to include ketchup for the fries. I mean come on dude, I just tipped you on a take-out order. The very least you could do, is pretend to include what would be included if I ate it there. This is not a one-off thing. Happened time after time. Same bartender. Sorry to bother you for patronizing your establishment and tipping you for walking 3 feet to get it from the laborers in the kitchen. The flippant attitude is too much, I just won't go there anymore. I gave them three tries. I'm sure they also don't care about bad reviews because it's been here forever.

I think more places should be breweries. Hear me out…read more Breweries always tend to be comfortable, spacious and have a hipster vibe that is undeniably attractive in spite (or maybe because of?) its irony. They smell like hops and really that should probably be a candle. Long Live Roxbury is like late stage brewery-dom, it nails all the little details. Lots of wood-y colors, communal tables and a kind of industrial chic vibe that is required reading for this kind of place. It also helps that the beer is pretty stellar. And this is coming from someone that thinks IPAs taste like dish soap. Somehow they managed to turn that flavor profile into something appealing and it is not a small feat. Just a nice chill place to hang out and enjoy. It's also tucked in this little industrial nook, which maybe adds to the charm, even though it's not the easiest place to get to. Only thing they're missing is Eastern Standard pretzels and beer cheese and it'd be perfection.
