I was in Boston for a work trip for a week near City Hall Plaza. I decided to pop into this place for a quick lunch. I have to say I really enjoyed it. I ended up coming back there almost every single day for lunch or for a drink after work on the way back to the hotel. I ended up having the lobster roll, their burger, boneless buffalo tenders, fish and chips and clam chowder. Everything was delicious especially the lobster roll and the burger. Prices were good service was fast and it was cozy. My only complaint is I wish I would kick the AC up a little bit because it wasn't as much of a relief from the heat as I'd have liked. But I guess that's what the beer is for. read more

We were wandering around downtown Boston and wanted a drink but not a soda, originally looking for a cool coffee shop, saw this and thought why not? Bartenders are friendly and service is fast, bf had the fish and chips it was awesome! I had the lobster roll also very good! If we are ever back in Boston we will visit again. read more

Worst bartenders ever the blonde lady along with the. Young chick kicked us out because they didn't like my tip , mind you it was a $10 tip on a $13 order, never coming back here again , the bar was great but hopefully they find better bartenders , those chicks ruined our experience read more

The Hub Pub one of Boston's hidden gems casual and relaxed pubs. The old school pub was excellent the bartender was totally a good guy. The food is really good had a bowl of clam chowder with crackers and a beacon hill cheeseburger with fries was really good and the fries were cooked awesome. The Hub Pub worth the visit for a cold beer. read more

The girls & I just stopped in for a quick bite. The service was great, super kind, and helpful! We tried some apps: nachos, mozzarella sticks, and chicken bites. Nothing outstanding, but good paired with some drinks! I could tell it's a cozy place filled with regulars and friendly locals. read more

My buddies and I waited 1 hour to play pool. The bartender told us that there was no more pool for the night because they were closing the tables. Not even 5 minutes later, 3 people walk upstairs with pool balls. "I work here, I work here," smiles on their face. Just rude. read more

Great experience, the bartender (Scotty) was fantastic. Best place to hangout and enjoy some cold ones.

I love this place! Felt like the real life cheers! Scotty is by far the best bar tender in Boston. Fun, engaging, makes everyone feel like a regular! Thanks for a real good time! Until next time! Cheers! read more

The bouncer was the meanest person in the world. He literally bullied us, and we were waiting in line, not even looking for something. He clearly had something else going on that wasn't nice hospitality and I'm sorry but that's not my problem. Hub pub sucks. read more

Came here looking for a non touristy bar. Went to the Beantown Pub and The Last Hurrah and they weren't bad but nothing compares to this place. What a fantastic time! Scotty was one the best bartenders I've ever encountered! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Boston! read more

A must stop in Boston. Willie (owner) was a great host, and Scottie, Miranda and MJ rocked it behind the bar. Had a blast (2 days in a row). And try the Haddock bites! Had fun at Beantown Pub also (same ownership), but really loved the vibe here. read more

I had such a nice time here in the middle of the day on a random Wednesday. Bartender made me an excellent mimosa that really quenched my thirst mid-freedom trail. I loved the Americana ambience and will definitely stop back in here whenever I visit Boston again. Love, Lauren! read more

My wife and I are regular visitors to Boston and every time we visit, we have to make a stop at The Hub Pub! We met Scotty (bartender/server) more than a few visits ago and he is the best! He provides excellent and friendly service. His music selection is also on point! He creates a fun and relaxed atmosphere that makes people want to come back! You can tell how good he is by the reaction of the regular customers. The food is awesome as well! Great beer selection tops it off! I definitely recommend this spot for anyone who is in the area!! Check it out!!! read more

The Hub Pub - Cheers from the excellent Hub Pub!!!! - Pubs Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Stopped in after a day on the way back to the hotel. Friendliest place we have encountered in Boston. We wanted dinner and the kitchen was closed. We had a beer and visited and the bartender recommended the sister pub, beantown: I want to come back just to go to the hub! I wish I stopped in sooner! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. Very quick service and excellent bartender. Definitely more of a casual place and the perfect spot for a drink. The burger was perfectly sized, had an excellent sesame bun, and came with great fries read more

Tried to go to Beantown Pub to watch a football game with 4 friends, the waiter there was kind of rude and told us he wasn't sure if he could put the game on the TV. So then we made our way to the Hub pub where Scotty with a y treated us with kindness, enthusiasm and immediately turned the game on for us! Go to Hub Pub instead of Beantown! read more

Best Pub in Boston! We love Scotty -- hands down the friendliest bartender in town. If you're in Boston, this place is a must-stop.

Always standardly a top tier time when I come. Homey and a place that is mostly inhabited by regulars it's nice to walk in and have multiple people know your name (I know that feels very cheers-y) and the bartender having your drink ready when you walk through the door. Every one of the about 4 bartenders I know working there are beyond fantastic and I adore them. Definitely a local spot hike in the wall, for regulars, but also my respite after a long day read more

Nice atmosphere upstairs. Service is friendly. Great place to play pool and watch a game.

Really enjoyed our time here. Friendly atmosphere, great tunes as well. The drinks are not crazy expensive considering it's in the heart of Boston. The bouncer, David, was the life of the party. He went around singing songs in front of everyone. While we didn't have any food, the food looked great coming out. Specifically the pretzel and nachos. When I'm back in Boston, will certainly come back. read more

Utterly terrible. Ordered a chicken Caesar salad to go. No bigger than a side salad. Chicken was undercooked. No Parmesan at all. I paid $17 for this, not including tip. Wasn't worth $5. read more

Best Margarita in Boston!!!! Yummy !! Ask for Scotty!!! Maybe you'll get a napkin rose as well!!

This review isn't even about food. I went into this place bc my phone died and I needed to figure out if it died or just needed charge. I was sick out of my mind bc I was in a city I didn't know and no way of knowing how to get back to my hotel. They let me try to charge my phone and gave me a taxi number. I ordered food and drinks bc I'm not a leach, lol.it was good but I'm afraid I wasn't in the mood to eat or drink bc of my stress. Luckily a new charger brought my phone to life after they directed me to a cvs.. The French dip was good. The service was great bc they offered to help. read more

It was closed at 11:30 when hours are until 2 am??? Would have loved to go in and get a drink like i wanted but whateva.

Very nice food and quiet a selection of beers. Loved the Old English Pub kinda vibe and the service was fantastic

Wicked awesome gem in Boston. Food is excellent pro tip have the Lobster Roll. Bartender is the best. Ambience is eclectic and very comfortable read more

A fun pub with a great drink selection and really fun and energetic atmosphere. I had fun playing some games with pool here.(B)

This place great. We visited the Bean town pub which is the big sister to Hub Pub yesterday. Thought we would check out Hub Pub tonight. It did not disappoint. Super friendly staff, good cocktails and excellent food. read more

I was hee on a Thursday night with about 8 other people at the bar. There was one bartender working, Alicia. Then out of nowhere approximately 60 people came through as a pub crawl. Alicia handled the crowd unbelievably!! She was professional, calm and Fun! I have been back here every night during my 5day stay in Boston. Great Bar with Great Service, Especially Alicia!! read more

The food presentation wasn't worth a photo opp honestly---- Def bar food vibes. Just grabbed wings - fries & the chicken sliders--- this jersey girl was NOT impressed with the "gravy" served on the side though. Bartender and crowd were cool Glad we stopped in for a bit. read more

My nephew and I stopped in for lunch and was not disappointed. Everything from the food to the service was great. The music was great, too. I look forward to returning soon. read more

Stopped here for a drink after getting my ring sized next door at the jewelers. It's a nice little Boston pub! Reasonable price. I wouldn't recommend having a dinner here but if you want a good place for a beer, this is the spot! read more

Greatest and best priced lobster rolls and friendly staff. Bartender was playing great music.

This seems to be a common theme... My group and I approached the front door this past Saturday night and the bouncer was inside so we went in to show our ID. For a weekend night, it wasn't packed so we're looking forward to sitting down and enjoying a beer. Immediately the bouncer said we can't be here... "the fries are burnt, you guys can't come in." I responded, no worries we're not eating. The bouncer repeated himself, "you can't be here." We laughed it off thinking that's a weird reason, then realized after he let the group behind us inside. I'm Korean American and this was absolutely disgusting. This pub is giving Boston a terrible name. I'm reporting this establishment as racist and if you agree, please message me privately so I can coordinate experiences with local newspapers. read more

True Score: 2.25 Stars Disappointed Moseying through the streets, we chose to stop in and to quench our thirst. The bartender must have been having a bad day as her manners were lacking. She was downright rude. The sign out front states "The friendliest pub in the Hub". Maybe the employees should read and heed. We will not spend another cent here and suggest you go elsewhere. Nothing here of value or note. Too many other great choices. Could be really good, just made us feel like we were bothering them. Thanks read more

The lobster roll was really good, and the beer selection is decent. My favorite part besides the location is that you keep the glass for $1 more with the purchase of a Sam Adams seasonal on draft. My favorite souvenir from Boston! read more

We went in after wrapping up The Freedom Trail on a very rainy day! We were soaked but Scotty the bartender told us to come and dry off. Had the chowder and salad and the food was good! My husband had potato skins with a Sam Adams hazy and it was good! Scotty made us fell very welcome and we had a good time. read more
