    Texas Brisket Sandwich
    Joe G.

    This spot has been around along time and has always had consistent prices and quality. We just dropped in quick for lunch and I had tbe Texas Brisket Sandwich with Carmelized Onions and it was amazing and enough for two meals. This spot has always been very chill and great place for a few drinks

    This restaurant was directly across from the hotel we were staying in. Since it was close and it was so cold outside we decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did. We actually went another night since we enjoyed it so much. The fried pickles were sooo good! And I was surprised at how many we got. Our table also had pizza, buffalo chicken wrap the first trip. The second trip we had chili and the nachos. The cocktails were also good, especiallly the expresso martini! And service was also very good.

    I really enjoyed this bar! The seating was great and service was fast. They had a good drink menu and our food was delicious! I definitely recommend the buffalo chicken dip! My only complaint is the bathrooms were kind of gross but in their defense it was a Friday night and they were packed.

    Classic pub food in a cozy tavern! We stopped in here to grab a quick bite to eat prior to heading to The Liberty Hotel for curling. I had the warm spinach salad which was delicious. My husband enjoyed his turkey club sandwich and the kids had fried pickles and garlic knots. They have a good selection of beers!

    Tavern Baked Mac and Cheese (with Pulled Pork)

    I stopped by with a couple friends after a night out elsewhere for a quick drink before heading home and found it convenient. It was after midnight, so it was a bit on the quieter end (especially considering that it was a chilly night and a bit rainy). We were able to grab a table right away and went to the bar to order drinks. Jackson was attentive and incredibly nice! The drinks were also strong and are well worth the price. I had a Jameson & Ginger while my two friends had espresso martinis. As far as food, during a previous visit, I had the baked Mac and cheese with pulled pork while another friend had the chicken tenders. They are good food options and what you can expect from a typical tavern (hence the name). This is definitely a spot to stop by when in the Beacon Hill area if you're looking for something more low-key.

    Excellent bar to watch the game, enjoy some cocktails, and Catch the Boston vibe if you are visiting from out of town. Nice bar with high top counters and table seating. Fast paced and sports bar crowd. Great beer line. Good food options. Friendly bartenders. Worth a visit and seems to be a hot spot for locals to watch a game.

    Your pretty average looking dive bar/tavern with incredible food. Living so close to the hill is dangerous and has become our ~almost~ weekly go to spot. They do have weekend brunch which I've never tried but definitely need to. Out of all the times I've been there, you think I would have tried more of their menu but once I found what I like it's hard to break from it. My go-to's are also their nachos with chicken and their green goddess wrap. This wrap is arguably the best wrap I've ever had. It's so good every time. If you go for nothing else, just get the wrap :)

    Bloody Mary

    I only stopped by for a drink. The Bloody Mary was quite good! I would have liked to come back for dinner but I wasn't in Boston for long. Right across the street from MGH.

    Unexpectedly good food. Drinks not too shabby either. The Steak and Cheese Eggrolls and the Cuban sandwich were standouts.

Tho I've never really liked full size burgers so always been a slider fan. Damn. Let me repeat, damn. Again, damn. Super simple but so so juicy and whatever sauce they are saucing on it? My mouth waters at the memory. They are decent sized and you get 4, plus a massive tower of also very good onion rings. The onion rings were good no complaints but after the sliders nothing was going to compare so I kind of forgot any opinions I had on them. Inside is cozy, staff are fun and great, reasonable prices and good vibes anytime I've gone in. And I'll be going in again soon bc damn. A few days later I was out with friends somewhere else and we got sliders and I was so disappointed now that I've known 21st's.

Place was not super busy and our server Izzy was on it...she seated us immediately and took our drink and food orders. We snacked on spinach dip which was pretty filling and ordered some cups of clam chowda! The chef put some southwestern flavor which I thought was fabulous, since we are from TX! We finished by ordering the plate of sliders and by far, the best pub sliders I have ever had! Everything we ate was amazing. Izzy was energetic and never let our glasses go empty! The building was historic and it felt like you walked back in time! We would go back in heart beat for sure!

It's homely, welcoming, and I feel included. Last went here during the Red Bull Heavy Metal event that was happening at City Hall. Place was packed. We had the best Irish coffees and were able to get a table despite the crowd. I love the attention to detail this place puts regarding its decorative wood around the bar, the lighting, life music, and more. Great place to have a drink. Yes, I think the food could improve a bit - maybe some nice club sandwiches or vary the food offerings, but overall love this place.

We kept trying to make eye contact, but it didn't work~eventually we had to wave someone down. Even then, the response from the bar felt like it was an inconvenience just to send our server over. That said, the food was mostly good. The bangers & mash and the burger were spot on. However, the "Taste of Ireland" pies were disappointing~2 in particular missed the mark. The shepherd's pie had no mince (just potatoes and peas), & the Guinness pie was more like a beef stew than a proper pie. Overall, some strong dishes, but the service and a few key items would make me hesitate to return.
