    Great Pub. Outdoor seating along the river. Prime Rib to Lobster Rolls. Burgers to Fried Clams. Staff is awesome, see Al and ask for something with rum. You won't regret it .

    I stayed at the Best Western hotel attached to Adams Pub and after walking for hours around Faneuil Hall and Little Italy I was looking for a glass of wine and a snack. I saw a few other orders of fish n chips being served and I was sold! The fish was piping hot, crispy and perfectly cooked inside served with tartar sauce but I prefer lemon and malt vinegar. Delicious and highly recommended Service was great Make note you can't charge food and/or drinks to your room.

    My boyfriend and I stayed here for his birthday celebration weekend in Boston. He was born on St. Paddy's Day so naturally, he had to order the boiled dinner. It was very good. Juicy meat, well cooked carrots and Brussels sprouts and potatoes with just enough bite too. Served in the liquid which was flavored so well. I, a vegetarian, ordered the veggie burger and sweet potato fries. Some veggie burgers are bland or overly seasoned-this was a perfect balance! The spicy mayo was delicious and the fries were crispy and delicious. We'll definitely be back!

    $59 Clam bake for two. Four Amazing lobster, clams, mussels, bratwurst, cornbread and a pitcher of Sam Adams.

    On a recent tour of New England, me and my bf stayed at the Adams Inn for a couple of days as a base camp. So glad we did!! What a wonderful gem we found. The hotel, staff and accommodations were wonderful and perfect for what we wanted. But the best surprise was the Adams Pub. Super cozy friendly little pub with bartender, Kevin, who was super friendly and engaging local guy. But this review is for the AMAZING clam bake dinner. I can honestly say, this was the best lobster I had during my stay in MA. Think I'm cray-cray??? Just check out the tank of live lobsta they have in the kitchen. These babies are FRESH! And, boy did we ever get suckered by a couple of restaurants with FROZEN lobster during our trip. I was so pissed one time in Maine of all places we got sucker punched with a $70 lobster lunch that completely sucked and consisted of soggy, chewy, mediocre lobster. At the Adams Pub we ordered a Clam Bake for 2. This incredible deal included 4 lobster, tons of mussels and clams, bratwurst, cornbread and a huge pitcher of beer - Sam Adams of course. All for $59!!! Yes, you read that right. So do yourself a favor and visit the Adams Pub. I'm jealous of anyone who lives within driving distance. I will miss you until next time!

    Fish sliders!! Yum!!

It's highly recommended to book a reservation for a spot. And there were plenty of street parking available. And did I mention that the food was delicious?? Don't sleep on the beef empanadas! The spicy sauce and guava sauce perfectly complemented the fried bites. The legendary steak tips were perfectly cooked and so tender. It was paired with a Mac salad and French fries. The half chicken was also surprisingly filling and satisfying. Both dark meat and white meat are served with green beans and mashed potatoes. The whole meal left no crumbs. Come to Blend for a good time and leave with a belly so full!

Super relaxed atmosphere and tv's, so it would be a great place to watch a game. Friendly bartender and the fish and chips was good. They also have pizzas that looked great. My friend had a pesto with burrata and she said it was awesome. They also have gluten-free pizza, whihc is good to know. Our table neighbor had the pork chop, which also looked great. They have a small parking lot, which would fill up quickly. We went on a very "off" time, so we were able to park in that lot. Otherwise, you'd need to find street parking.

We were seated right away at a table in the middle of the floor. Told that was best that could be done. Like eating in an aisle. After a few minutes we were asked if we wanted still water or not. Still, we said. Then if we wanted drinks, told her water would be fine. Service started to decline from there. Also no condiments come to the table, but water. We ordered bread and butter and a spice bag, but vegetarian. No bread today ran out. And no plans to bake anymore. We wait close to 25 minutes for our appetizers. Spice bag arrives and I had read rave reviews about this. Open it and its filled with chicken and french fries. Server grabbed it and told us, kitchen error. They would make another, be there in a minute or two. I asked would this show up with our entrees. No, be spaced apart. We waited over 15 minutes, it arrived. Was supposed to have cauliflower, peppers, onions and french fries. There was three pieces of cauliflower and no peppers or onions. What was there was tasty and well spiced. And as soon as we opened the bag and started eating, entrees show up. Fish and chips portions are huge and very nicely fried. Excellent crisp and fantastic steak fries. The Pizza #1, excellent tomatoed base and the crust had a good chew to it. I ordered the Beyond meat lasagna. Huge portion with a green salad and cole slaw. Cole slaw was creamy and very nice. Green salad was fresh but drenched in dressing. My fault should have asked for it on the side. The lasagna was disappointing. No seasoning, no garlic or onions or oregano. It was, I think a British version of lasagna. Ate about half could not eat more. No desserts, but drinks, tea and hot chocolate. Or I did not see it. Server apologized for the timing of the meals, the error with the Spice Bag and the lack of bread. She was sweet. Lots of sports being broadcasted, and a huge long bar. I would come for beer and soccer or football. If I wanted Irish bar food I'd be better going to the Burren. And parking is a challenge. They have a very small lot, we got lucky and found a spot. Hard pass on McGonagle's.

What we got: - Gnocco fritto - Bruschetta - Arancini - Orecchiette - Bolognese - Sausage and lentils - Chicken parm - Skillet chicken - Radicchio salad We had high hopes, but besides the apps, everything was disappointing. How can you call yourself an Italian restaurant but not cook pasta correctly? The pasta for the Orecchiette, Chicken Parm, and Bolognese were all VERY overcooked. The pasta for the Bolognese was basically mush. We actually sent that dish back and came back just as overcooked. They need to figure out how to cook pasta. Service was also bad. Our apps and mains came out at different times. Water glasses went unfilled, and I had to go find salt and pepper on my own. Also, there were two employees, maybe a manager and kitchen staff, who were sitting at a table next to us doing event planning while talking on the phone on speakerphone. It really ruined the vibe. Slim chance we will go back. Very disappointing.

We dropped in for an early dinner for our group of 8 with kids and had a wonderful time. When you first step inside, you are welcomed with a buzzing atmosphere of live music and conversation.

A beautiful bar with large TVs were available for catching the game. I got the fish and chips which I recommend. The fish was tender and flakey and the breading was a proper batter that added a nice crunch. The portion was quite large, and I was a big fan of the spiced curry sauce that came with the dish. My wife had the sausage roll which had a nice flakey pastry crust to it. The menu had quite the variety of Irish dishes, and I can't wait to come back to try more of them. The restaurant is also kid friendly. They provide crayons and coloring sheets and offer a decent kids menu. It's nice to finally have a higher end and more modern Irish restaurant that I'm certain will become a neighborhood staple.
