    Gluten Free Beer?! Oh yeah!
    Denise M.

    This is a review of the music and drinks. We didn't eat here but my friends said, "its pub food!", enough said. The portions I saw looked big, heart attack on a plate, but big! The music here on a Saturday night is great between the hours of 6-8pm. This was my first time here and I was at first completely underwhelmed with the place on walking in but my friend comes the second Saturday of the month religiously so I joined as a tag along. I was happily surprised. The music had people up and dancing in the small space provided and the usual band was absent, it was a sit in band. No seat was empty and by the time we left, standing room only. That said, my friends only come for the 6-8pm shows. The crowd is older, much older I might add then the typical 20-40's bar crowd but the music is country, funk-blues and the atmosphere festive and fun. I will be checking it out again. Be warned there is no wine list it is a "what reds do you have?". Server replied, "Red". No expectations, no disappointments that my only advise think dive and you'll be ok and thrive. Have fun and get out there and dance!

    Well...I had such a great time, I barely got any photos inside the bar! This place was so cool,…read moreit's been weeks since I visited Boston and I STILL think about this cool hip spot. My friends and I went to this bar after finishing up at another bar. It was the perfect spot to escape the crazy noise and loudness of another bar and instead of chill, fun vibes over drinks and chat. The bartender was kind and welcoming, he congratulated me for getting married simply cause I had my Mrs. Denim jacket on! Respect! The bartender was knowledge on types of beer and pour out a glass based on the flavors and type of beers I preferred. I hope to be back again in Boston, and I look forward to visiting this spot again and trying other drinks on their menu.

    Central Square seems to be getting taken over by cocktail bars these days so this spot is a…read morerefreshing break if all you want is some beer and tasty finger food. They have a small selection of beers on tap and when I was there most of the beers were $9. I noticed that the food was hit or miss among other reviewers but my group really enjoyed everything we ordered. The chips and guacamole ($11) include freshly fried chips that are thick and fun to snack on. They're not overly salty and have such an addicting texture that I could eat them on their own, but the guacamole is also worth getting. I like how they are not shy about packing the guacamole with onions. We also got an order of wings ($11) which came with 6 wings and a garlicky cilantro dipping sauce. The wings themselves were so tender and juicy that the meat fell off the bone. The dipping sauce was also quite tasty and great to dip the chips in! I would agree with other reviewers that the music is loud, but I found it pretty tolerable and did not have any issues holding a conversation. The space is not that big so seating is limited.
