    Fish and chips
    Iris S.

    This was a pretty solid restaurant and pub at our hotel. It seems others stopped in for dinner or drinks who were locals. It was convenient for us to stop in since it was just downstairs. Online searches seemed to think this restaurant was closed on Monday/Tuesday's but when I asked at the front desk they told me it was open everyday. Our waitress also was working behind the bar so we was multitasking pretty heavily, but she did a pretty good job. Food was good- my husband got fish and chips. I got steak medallians with a small caeser salad and mashed potatoes. We enjoyed all of it. Our only negative was that we were getting bit by gnats CONSTANTLY while eating on the deck outside around 6pm on a June night.

    Chicken avocado sandwich
    John H.

    Okay pub food. The chicken avocado sandwich came with blue cheese which was a bit of a weird combo. Chicken was a bit dry but it could be because we got it to go and had to wait awhile to eat it at home. Wife enjoyed the cobb salad which was huge. Prices weren't bad for the portion size but this place is probably better experienced dining in vs. takeout.

    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.

    Boiled dinner
    Maria M.

    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!!

    The food is 4 out of 5. I liked claimed chowder and conb salad. Not as much Fish and Chips (which was rather tasteless and expensive)

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!

We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

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.

The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

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.

The rice was very thick, but I would have it again. The chicken Parm was also very cute. Not too much sauce, which was perfect. I'd be interested to go back as the menu changes.

I got the Heart of Stone which was delicious! Not too sour or sweet, but was definitely a strong cocktail. I had 3/4 of it and I was already feeling it. My friend got an Old Fashioned and she was a big fan! It went down quite smoothly and tasted good too. For $14 a drink, it was a little pricy but honestly I've seen places in Boston charge more. I would recommend coming here to grab drinks but maybe not a spot to catch up because of how loud it was. Would love to try their food as it looked pretty good!

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.

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.
