Stop in for strong, cheap drinks and a mellow older crowd. It was a great place to stop in and watch an afternoon Red Sox game. The off-street parking was a bonus. I also won $20 playing Keno, which was another bonus. read more

This place is not for everyone. Cash only and you're not going to find a 97 chateau deblanc . They sell beer in the cab and food options are limited to bags of chips. However, it's a great place with a close knit clientele. The two night time bartenders are great guys. Best beer prices around read more

The decor gives a nod to its name, with exposed metal, minimalistic accents, and a vibe that feels straight out of a modern steelworks. It's a great spot if you're looking for a drink and a change from the usual scene. Their drink selection is solid, featuring a mix of classic cocktails and local craft beers. The bartenders have their own cocktail introduced in the menu, so don't hesitate to ask for a recommendation or a custom mix if you're in the mood to try something new. The food menu is limited so I wasn't really interested in trying that. They have a few games on the other side as well as an out patio that you can smoke and bring your drink outside. It's definitely more of an older crowd especially coming after work, kind of vibe

You walk in and it a large bar that basically junts out almost to the entrance door. The staff was friendly enough and as usual we started talking to few weirdos and having a good time. It was a short visit but it seems like a more than acceptable watering hole. Tip: Don't forget to grab some egg rolls from the place next door. They are the best. Thanks

Greendale's Pub

True Score: 4 Stars Even…read more A great old dump that serves great hot dogs. Cheap strong drinks and cold beer. The coolest part about this place is the entire back wall of the bar is a giant walk in fridge/freezer. Very unique. It's a dive bar to the N'th degree but it serves it's purpose. Getting drunk and bullshitting. Their speciality is the hot dog special. Wonderful cased hot dogs grilled with mustard and onions. The dogs snap and helps to drink a couple of extra beers on a visit. Respect you Greendales, appreciate you. Thanks

I hate to be that person so we just paid and left but the photo speaks for itself... margarita flatbread was also pretty bad. The sauce tasted tasted like salsa, and it had squares of melted halloumi on it? Looked nothing like one of the pictures I saw on Google reviews so I'm thinking they may have just ran out of ingredients yesterday. Even just the restaurant itself was pretty gross. Sticky floors, dirty plates and silverware given to us, dirty bathroom. Definitely won't be going back.

This place has so much potential. Great space and the staff is awesome…read more The food is lacking unfortunately, we got the steak tips, burger, and mozzarella sticks. The steak tips were wayyy overcooked - we asked for medium and it was very well done. Same with the burger - very overcooked. The fries were very obviously from frozen. The mozz sticks were way too big. here are the tips to make this place way better: better cut of meat, don't overcook the meat. The burger neeeeeds a sauce! FRESH fries - from a potato! and make the mozzarella sticks less thick. Everything needs to be homemade... that's what makes customers coming back. Drinks were good but veeerrry sugary - make them not as thick... fresh & light is more like it I hope this place survives and takes my advice - it would only help!

I had fun, sang a bunch, then decided it was time to go. Bill came to $42. I took my card, slid the slip back across the bar WITHOUT SIGNING IT and handed the bartender $65 IN CASH, and did not ask for any change back. Two days later, I checked my account. Not only was there a charge for $42, but another charge for $33. Ok, no big deal, the place was busy, mistakes happen. I called the number listed when I googled the bar. Had to leave a message. They don't have a website, so I went to their facebook page and sent a message via messenger. I gave a detailed account of what I drank, what the bill was, the last four digits of my card number, and the two charges despite my having paid in cash. They left it read, but did not respond. I contacted the karaoke DJ, who is a friend of mine and asked if he knew how to get ahold of anyone over there. He offered to stop by that night and speak to whoever was working and inquire about the situation. He reported back that he told the bartender there about it, and asked for someone to contact him. A week goes by. Crickets. I call and leave another message. I send another Messenger message. It gets read again, but still no response. I contact my bank and dispute the charges. I contact my friend again who again goes up there and asks for someone to get back to one of us. Nothing. July 14th I send yet another message, saying that I could see that the others had been read, and asking why they aren't responding. Interestingly, it does not show that it has been read. Left another message today. Such an easy thing to remedy. A simple apology and offer to correct the mistake is all that was needed. I tipped very nicely, was polite and friendly. I have never caused any issues there, and always treat the bartenders respectfully. So why couldn't they just call me back? Own your mistakes!

Bocado Tapas Wine Bar

The ambiance was cozy and inviting, though our table was in the middle of the aisle which felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, the service itself was inconsistent. We had to ask for bread three times. When we ordered two brownies and one coffee, we were brought one brownie and two coffees. At the end of the meal, we asked for both my meal and my son's meal to be wrapped to go. My son's plate was accidentally thrown away because other plates were stacked on top of it. When I asked about it, the server explained what happened but did not offer to remake it, remove it from the bill, or apologize, which was disappointing. That said, it was a busy Friday during Restaurant Week, so I would consider coming back and hope the service is smoother next time. While writing this review, I actually received a text from the restaurant letting me know we left our son's plate behind, which was thoughtful and appreciated. If Yelp allowed half stars, I would give 3.5.

Thank goodness for takeout boxes. My favorite plate was the QUESO DE CABRA CON MIEL (goat cheese with honey) served with crusty bread. We paired it with the CHORIZO LEÓN HERRADURA. It was just perfect together. Dessert was worth mentioning. The warm double chocolate brownie with ice cream is a definite yes please. So rich, so gooey, so worth the calories. Bocado is a tapas restaurant, but I found these small plates quite generous. Roll me home I'm done!

Favorite appetizer: deep fried baby octopus! (There's literally a whole baby octopus in there. Super worth it, trust me!

Got into the coveted Tuna cutting experience. They only allow 30 people or so and the event is…read moremaybe once a month, but or fewer. Once they announce it, you need to call immediately or get shut out. My observation about the place itself. The U shaped bar is gigantic for the space. It's a bar-bar too not like a sushi counter. This seems to draw a crowd of local drinkers rather than the normal sushi crowd. You feel like you walked into a sports bar. The place was really loud and it was hard to hear the chef explaining everything. Once seated... it's the chefs carving the tuna off to the side. There were 2 bar tenders making drinks and like 3 chefs cutting tuna.... other than that, no waitstaff. Which is really odd. You have to grab the manager who was running around helping to get your Wasabi refilled. Not to mention they gave zero place settings for about 8 of us, until we asked. The bar tenders seemed to pass over my empty drink until I asked for a refill too. It's a more chaotic event than I would have liked for $120 per person. It also takes time to carve the tuna so if you arrive hungry be prepared to not get your first tiny bite until 45 minutes after the start. The star was Chef Timmy. Honestly he was awesome. The tuna.... so good. You end to with only 3 pieces of Nigiri which was a little disappointing but the sashimi part was unlimited. Of course you have to take your plate up and ask for some. They only put about 6 small pieces of the various cuts per trip. I think I went up 5 times for sashimi alone. The tuna handrolls you can make yourself or ask the chef nicely. Those were really good. Probably best I ever had because it's so fresh. There is a limited amount of the highly prized (and highly priced) Kamatoro, but you can experience it here as it's included in the experience. That's a hard cut to find. The finale was a shot of tuna spinal fluid. My first time with that but it's not bad. You're probably looking at $150 per person unless you order alcohol than it's alot more. The fresh cut tuna is amazing. I'm glad I did it. The chaos and the setting made it less than ideal. I don't think I would go again to this location for it. One and done. It's a bit weird that you're paying $120 for this and you're still intermingled with local patrons just there to grab some beers after work and watch the game. Because of the massive bar it is impossible to create a space secluded to do it. They also should have a roaming waiter at least taking care of the 30 people who came for this experience.
