mac trio
Michelle T.

Such a delicious experience! I loved the mac trio. (as a mac and cheese person) The short rib was perfectly soft and tender. There were good vibes all around. They have a pool table in the back and shuffleboard right by the bar. Would love to come back and try more of the dishes and play some pool!

Pickle Martini

This restaurant is tucked away, you walk in and immediately have a cozy vibe. This is a great place to hang out with friends. My friend and I sat at the bar to have dinner and drinks before a show. The bartenders were very kind and helpful with providing recommendations. The drinks were fantastic, one was a pickle martini and the other was a tropical drink. The crispy artichoke salad has me wanting to go back. It was a great experience!

Took a walk for a really late lunch today and stopped at the Hopewell Bar & Kitchen. We arrived in the dead zone between meals and service started a bit off. We sat ourselves in a mostly empty dining room. Soon we were greeted and the server was excellent from that point. We tried several things from the menu, starting garlic knots and short rib poutine- both were yummy. This was followed by a extra version of tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwich, the chicken caprese , and house pizza. They were all well prepared and presented. I think it may take me a bit to warm up to pizza with brussel sprouts and bacon flavors on it but I wanted to give it a try Overall a good experience and I would chalk the awkward start to the mid-afternoon meal. I expect the place was hopping at night with pool, shuffleboard and other fun stuff. I would try this place again, but may need to make it a happy hour to catch the real vibe of the place.

I went in February, had a great time, and the food was pretty good! We went during brunch so it was easy to get seated. The server was very kind!

Wellfleet oysters

Fyi: we only had beer and oysters! My husband, my dad, and I were all craving oysters last night and decided to go sit at the bar here for about an hour. The beer was good and the oysters were great! The bartenders were also so friendly - we loved chatting with them :) the vibe was also so cozy and exactly what we were looking for - a nice and classic bar feel with a wooden bar and good, cozy lighting. We would come back!

French onion soup side + Brie appetizer
Katherine C.

Finally got to cross this staple of Allston off of my bucket list! Ambiance: we initially sat outside, which was a bit chilly on Friday night and a little too close to the street so we went inside. Fun, young, your brick and mortar wooden bar vibe! We got to watch the U.S. open and as the night grew older, more folks started playing shuffle board or arcade games and pool. Food: As appetizers, we had the french onion soup and the Brie & apricot jam. Wish there were thinner crackers served for the Brie, but the French onion soup was amazing. The gnocchi and better yet - the hopewell burger is chef's kiss truffle fries could've been slightly crispier or darker but that's just how I personally like 'em. Drinks: I wish they had NAs! Or some craft soda or kombucha options that many other bars in Boston have offered. I would've appreciated it. My partner said his pumpkin beer was pretty good along with his martini though.

Good old American food... Great service and all ambience inside and out. About to dig into some of the food as my daughter recommend this place, which is not too far from where she lives. Today she is a grad school graduate... Congratulations Mia Webster. We are also proud of you. #Boston College

Breakfast Sandwich
Dan D.

Why is it so dark in there? It's totally the wrong atmosphere for brunch. My phone defaulted to night mode for these pictures. My brother tried the sangria, which he called weak, and didn't comment on the eggs benedict, which are usually a go-to of his. My friend called the breakfast sandwich, an over medium egg with avocado, cheese, and aioli on white bread, heavy and a bit greasy. (And it's the healthy looking option on the menu.) I had a brunch burger, and neither the egg nor the beef were seasoned. It's lively, at least.

Old fashioned

Went to this place for lunch and had a good experience. It was a Friday afternoon, so not many people there. But the service was quick and the food was really good. The drinks were also good. See pictures for all the delicious stuff we ordered. From the menu it looked like they have some specials on some days, including a lunch special pizza that day. Would recommend giving them a try.

Not amazing, but decent for comfort food. Kinda greasy overall and overpriced. The atmosphere is okay.

Both were spot on. The pasta had this rich tomato sauce with burrata on top, really hearty and delicious. The wine pairing made it even better. Also got the oysters which were phenomenal. Honestly the bartenders made the whole night. Friendly, knew their stuff, and made a solo work trip dinner actually fun. Really nice vibe inside and will definitely be back next time I'm in Boston.

We opted to sit at the bar in front of the wood-fired oven, which turned out to be a great call. Watching the kitchen work was half the fun with pizzas and dishes coming together right in front of us. The drinks menu is impressive too, with a large selection of beers on tap plus wine, cocktails, and mocktails. For food, we kept it simple and shared our way through the menu. The Farm Green salad was crisp and fresh, pa perfect starter. Then came the asparagus, roasted in the wood-fired oven and served with a sauce that elevated the whole dish. We finished with one of their wood-fired pizzas, and it did not disappoint. Everything had that subtle smoky char you only get from a real oven. Service was excellent from start to finish. If you're looking for a spot that feels like a neighborhood staple with food that actually delivers, this is it.

I went for my graduation dinner, and they had a hand written card at the table waiting for me to wish me congratulations. To start, we had the focaccia bread to share and clam chowder, so delicious. Best clam chowder I've had, and it had whole clams in it. For mains, we had pasta bolognese, salmon, and the green apple chicken. The chicken was the juiciest I've ever had, the salmon was cooked to perfection, and the pasta was so flavorful. The presentation was great as well. Vanessa was our server, and she was so kind, helpful, and attentive. After seeing another table get the oysters, we asked the restaurant manger, Dan, what they ordered. After explaining it to us, I told him I never had oysters so he gave us the appetizer for free to try! Everyone who worked there was bubbly and warm, genuinely some of the best service I've ever experienced. Everything was a 10/10. Will definitely be coming back!

The food was great, however I didn't love the cocktails. Food: - Roasted Oysters (10/10): so buttery, cheesy, delicious. Favorite item on the menu, if you're going you have to order!! - Clam Chowder (8.5/10) - Chinatown Dumplings (8/10): loved the kewpie mayo - 16oz Ribeye (8.5/10): Tender and flavorful! The mashed potatoes it came with were so good. - Apple crumble (6/10): Would skip this and go for something else. Overall, a great experience and we will be back for the roasted oysters!
