Love The Jug The Brown Jug is an old favorite in Chelsea Ma and it's new location is excellent! I love thin crust pizza that's crispy with plenty of cheese and sauce. It's a round pizza but because it's hand made, the circle isn't always perfect but the taste always is! Love its new location and the pizza is as great as I remember! Great bar drinks, staff is very nice. Very clean and professionally run! I highly recommend ! Thanks

THIS is supposed to be a SUPER @Royal in Eastie, it's the size of a Jr, a big maybe, will NEVER go there again....

will NEVER go there Again, THAT Is supposed to be a SUPER.....it's more like a jr,,and they charge a super price, NEVER AGAIN.....

How does this taste so dusty

How does one make such a thin pizza uncrunchy.... Bottom taste like paper and the rest was alright but wow things flatter than paper and somehow doughy.. overall pizza was a four letter swear word that can't be used here.

The food is good! We got wings, pizza and had the Mac n cheese bites. I like the vibes of the restaurant they seem more family-like! Which I LOVE. The server was lovely and they even made sure to confirm our order before making it as we had a special request for half red half white sauce!

Sweet chili wings

Ordered take out with a few friends who have come from here before. The food had sat for about 10 minutes before we started eating so it cooled down quite substantially. We ordered the fried pickles, fried cheese ravioli, sweet chili and Buffalo wings plus a gluten free margarita pizza. This was plenty only for three people. Having had limited experience with fried pickles I enjoyed them as they held their structure even being cooled down. The fried ravioli were exactly how you'd expect and not really anything special. We were originally going to get the mozzarella sticks but they ran out a month ago and haven't gotten a shipment since. The Buffalo wings were light in flavor as they were almost dry since the sauce was so light. I liked the sweet chili wings but then again those are my typical go-to. They were a moderate size and relatively moist on the inside. The margarita pizza had a lot of cheese on it with a passable gluten free crust for regular bread. Overall, standard experience and wouldn't mind ordering again or trying another local establishment.

My husband and I went there for lunch yesterday and it was my first time. The food was really good and the service was excellent! The restaurant was very clean but very old school. I would definitely recommend the fried string beans and pizza!

Chicken ceaser salad and suppose to be garlic parmesan fries

First time I ordered I ordered a salad a couple days ago half way esting it there's a fruit fly in it. Today I called again for a pic up order I ordered garlic French fries and I got salted fries instead. I called and complaint about the fries but to be ask to go in again to get another order is crazy order should of been right the first time. The lady did say to go in the next day to pick up a another order of fries but how I feel now won't be ordering from here again. 2 times can't let it happen the 3rd time to be wasting my money.

Went here for lunch with my husband and they had great food and large portions! Didn't feel rushed to leave and had a relaxing time! Yummy drinks too!

Traditional Old school, thin crust pizzas They do it well Nice local pub, great tv, fun sports memorabilia on the walls Keno for those that are looking for that Only downside for me on my last try, the draft beers were out of service. Mechanical issues

Yes the Brown Jug is still around. It's located behind McDonalds in the far corner of Parkway Plaza. The Atmosphere is still reminiscent of days gone by with the TVs blaring the beer is pouring off tap in the middle of pizza deep into the walls. If anyone remembers the old days and Chelsea when the jog was off the parkway this location has a little bit different feeling but still has the same booths. The beers come out cold the drinks are not water down and the pizza is thin crust never a bad one. Great place to hang out at night also a great place to bring the family for a night out for pizza it fits every situation give it a try.

Horrible horrendous service! This is our go to pizza place and unfortunately because of tonight I will never order from them again. I have been coming to the brown jug since I was a little girl. I ordered delivery tonight through the slice app at 7:08pm. Once it arrived we realized our order came incorrectly. We ordered a pizza with extra cheese and half pepperoni as our guest does not eat meat. I contacted the slice app to let them know about the mix up and they stated that the brown jug was sorry and would send over a replacement pizza right away. Perfect. No problem. At 8:52 I contacted slice again to get a refund on the pizza as it had been almost an hour since receiving the wrong pizza. So, almost two hours in total after originally ordering. They advised me that the restaurant refused to issue me a refund on the pizza as they already made the replacement and the driver was on the way. I explained I no longer wanted the pizza but they still refused to refund me after their mistake. I explained that I will not be taking the pizza as their customer service was horrendous and I couldn't believe they would treat a long standing customer this way. The delivery driver showed up at approximately 9:35 and left the pizza at my front door even though I had already advised the restaurant I didn't want it any longer. You think if you mess up a customers food with dietary restrictions that they would be on the top of your priority list and not have to wait 2.5 hours for their correct food. Ridiculous. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with an establishment. Definitely do not recommend.

Disappointing Experience -- Poor Customer Service and Misleading Sports Bar Advertising Kelly Square Pub advertises itself as a sports bar with multiple TVs and games, but our experience was far from what we expected. Despite calling ahead to confirm, it was only upon arrival that we discovered that they only show local games. The "owner" agreed to switch to RedZone, yet the situation quickly turned unpleasant when the bartender rudely confronted our party for supposedly not watching the TV--even though the show was on a commercial break! We asked to speak with the "owner" or a manager, but we were not given access to anyone. Instead, the establishment later claimed that the bartender had simply and nicely asked whether we were watching the game. That was NOT our experience. She rudely accused our entire party of being on our phones and stated that she was going to change the TV for the Patriots fans. The way we were treated was disrespectful and completely unnecessary. As for the food, the wings were good, but that was the only real highlight. The pizza was substandard, the potato skins were hard and tasteless, and the clam chowder and BLT were basic and underwhelming. The turkey sub came without condiments, which we had to request. The drinks were strong, and I do want to give credit where it is due: Chico was an excellent, attentive server and a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing visit. Ultimately, good drinks and one good server cannot make up for poor customer service, disappointing food, and the way our party was treated. If you advertise yourself as a sports bar, customers should be able to expect a welcoming atmosphere and a reasonable effort to accommodate their game-viewing preferences. I will not be returning to Kelly Square Pub. Between the misleading expectations, disrespectful treatment, and lack of accountability, this establishment lost my business. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming sports bar experience.

I'd read online in advance that reservations were recommended & I'm glad we arranged that bc it was busy! This is a souped up sports bar giving dance club vibes... there's music playing so, not for those who want to hear the sports balls audio. We were seated to the immediate left of a huge TV with the Brewers playing & happily stayed in that spot for most of the game. Lina took excellent care of us! As a group we munched the Wagyu Hot Dog, the double Smashburger, the Mac & cheese, & the Wisconsin Cheese Curds which were a hair overblown but still delish! Being from Wisco we set a nearly unattainable high bar on fried cheese. We drank a Raven [NA], the Peach Bourbon Mule, and the Espresso Martini. I was over the moon for the cone of chocolate covered beans the arrived affixed to the glass by the teeny tiny clothespin. Like a tiny top hat! As someone who regularly enjoys an espresso martini I'll say that finding a unique interpretation is rare. We spent $280 with tip for an app, 4 meals, & 5 drinks but had done that research in advance & knew what we were signed up for price wise.

The menu vote for a good variety of different foods pretty much American fair. Definitely worth trying.

I recently flew into Logan airport Friday afternoon after a long night (took a red eye) with a…read moredelayed flight and changed my next flight that my suitcase didn't get on so I decided to hang around the airport for 3 hrs while I waited for my suitcase to arrive on a flight that I didn't take. Well once you're downstairs in the airport you can't go back upstairs to where all the restaurants are to grab something to eat or a drink so your only options are Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks with no seating in either of these places. My friend had told me that I could walk over to The Hilton thru the airport & grab something to eat......so that is what I did! I didn't time the walk to this restaurant but I did on my way back & it took me 15mins to walk from here to gait B (American airlines). There were signs on how to get to The Hilton hotel but certain spots I wasn't sure if I was still heading in the right direction but I was & I made it! It's not a bad walk & I even was dragging my carryon suitcase & a small backpack with me. Connolly's was the first restaurant I saw when I went downstairs (you arrive upstairs if you do the walk) and they had a menu outside the restaurant so I took a look & saw some things that I was interested in. I went inside & grabbed a seat at the bar. I was greeted right away by David who was the bartender and ordered a High Noon pineapple & got a menu. He saw me looking under the bar & knew that I was looking for an outlet to plug my cell phone in....smart guy! LOL He informed me that there was one right behind me & I could sit at that bar table area but I wanted to stay at the main bar. I ended up ordering the fried chicken sandwich. It came with pickles, cold slaw, an aioli dressing & some "hot" sauce on it. David was nice to point out the hot sauce. I told him that I didn't like hot so he offered to put it on the side. I'm such a picky eater and I was taking a chance with getting this fried panko breaded chicken sandwich with all that stuff on it. I decided to go with homemade potato chips as their onion rings aren't homemade & I wasn't in the mood for French fries. My sandwich came out fast (it wasn't busy for a Friday afternoon, lunch time). I cut my sandwich in half & went to town. OMG it was actually really good!! It did come with two thin fried chicken patties on it vs one big one. I tried the hot sauce with my finger & decided to put some of it on my other half. I didn't find it very hot nor did I really care for it so I didn't put anymore on my sandwich. The homemade potato chips were tasty too. David was super friendly & attentive. Great service. Great food! I'd definitely come back. I did find their prices very expensive but it's The Hilton and expected. I got two High Noons @ $10 a piece & my Crispy Chicken sandwich was $24.00. Their clam chowder sounded good & I wanted to grab a cup to bring home to my Mom but I didn't want to have to carry it back to the airport with me. I highly recommend this place if you're hungry & have time to spare to come over here before or after your flight or even if you're in the area. Enjoy!! Thanks David for your exceptional service!

We stayed overnight at the hotel as we had a very early morning flight and ended up having dinner here. The place was not very crowded but still they are understaffed. The menu is very dissapointing. Not a single vegan option, nor do they mark allergens like dairy in any way. For a restaurant that gets (literally) global traffice they should be more considerate with food preferences. Our server who was extremely kind, sadly had no idea what vegan meant but we worked with her and came up with 2 bowls of food. Hilton should do better than this.
