    I came for a World Cup game and thy turned the sound on and were very friendly and it was busy but not TOO busy! Which is my absolute favorite thing when it comes to pubs and bars! Vibes were good but the food was lack luster personally! Just nothing to write home about. Would I buy it again no am I mad I spent the money and ate it absolutely not!

    Okay on a work trip we stopped here for Fish&Chips. We were there for about 15 minutes and no one spoke or offered any assistance. Don't waste your time !

    We visited The Point for a Paint Nite event, and had a really fun evening. The pub has a warm, historic feel and a lively atmosphere that makes it a great place to hang out with friends. We enjoyed the music while sipping Guinness and Irish whiskey. We ordered mozzarella sticks and nachos. The food was just okay, but it did the job for a casual night out. What really stood out was the atmosphere. It's one of the oldest taverns in Boston, and it sits right along the freedom trail. It had that classic Boston hangout feel that both locals and tourists enjoy!

    Really nice chill bar; I didn't get the chance to try the food, but I'll definitely do so the next time I'm in town.

    In a lovely neighborhood along the Freedom Trail, this triangular building stood out immediately and it's the home of a cozy, welcoming pub called The Point. We felt right at home immediately and the staff (shout out to Sophia and Kristen) greeted us with smiles and great service. The bartender made excellent cocktails for us (our usual margaritas and old-fashioneds). Our Point Burger (cooked perfectly medium rare, as requested) and crispy chicken sandwich (with coleslaw & fries) were hot, delicious and served promptly. We only regret that we didn't get to go back for another meal during our time there. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and plan to go back on a subsequent trip to Boston!

Food menu was great and so was the beer selection. Lots of tvs and ambiance was cool. Food was a tad slow coming out but the place was packed so it was understood.

(Sorry no picture) Friend ordered the regular steak tip meal and those were excellent as well. Will definitely visit here again to pregame party!

We were asked from our bartender if we wanted to close the tab or keep it open. We chose to close it out so we can get to our next destination. After receiving the tab of $58 for 2 beers and 2 mixed drinks... we paid the tab immediately. And when I say immediately, I mean the cash couldn't have come out any quicker from my wallet to pay it before he went to wait on another persons order. The bartender than came back to us grabbed the reciept and cash which included the tip and said thank you. 5 mins later another bartender came up to us asking if we need our tab so we can pay . I told her we have already paid but the way her demeanor and tone to us left me feeling some type of way. I told her I paid in cash with 3 $20's, 1 $5 & 3 $1 bills. I told her to the exact dollars. She then went around asking every bartender if they took our cash. Everyone looked around and said they didn't touch it including our own bartender who waited on us AND was the one who took our money. Fast forward I asked for a manager right away because at this point we were being accused of "not paying" from not just 1 but THREE different bartenders at different times. After waiting another 20 mins for the manager to come out after watching the tapes, our bartender came right back out and took ALL the money we handed him out of the tip jar... he knew exactly where he stashed it... The manager came out and apologized saying that it's her best bartender and he would never do such thing. And you know what, he might be and it could've been an innocent mistake, but accusing us of not paying and then taking the money out of the tip jar while he looks shakey and shitting his pants...I would say it wasn't and that he did it on purpose. So looks like I will never give business to Cask N' Flagon and I hope everyone pays close attention when paying tabs anywhere!!! Being accused of not paying a tab from 3 different bartenders is disrespectful and very low of a big company.

It's like someone mashed together an amusement park, a zoo, and a full-blown circus, then replaced the cotton candy with alcohol and the safety rails with chaos. Every floor felt like a different dimension--one minute you're vibing, the next you're dodging a human traffic jam like it's bumper cars. But the real main event? Colleen. First floor. Absolute legend. Watching her work was like witnessing a headliner performance before the headliner. She wasn't bartending--she was conducting a symphony of pure mayhem. Drinks flying out of her hands like fireworks, orders remembered with supernatural precision, cracking jokes, keeping the energy electric--it was like if a ringmaster, a magician, and a quarterback all fused into one person behind the bar. I showed up stone-cold sober. Like, "responsible adult grabbing a pre-show drink" sober. What happened next was less of a night out and more of a controlled demolition. Somewhere between Colleen's perfectly poured chaos and the multi-floor madness, time stopped making sense. I'm pretty sure I blacked out on one floor and woke up on another like I was fast-traveling in a video game. At one point I may have been part of the circus. Not watching it--part of it. By the time I left, "walking" was no longer an option. I exited the building in a full crawl, like I had just survived a natural disaster. Limbs questionable, dignity gone, spirit intact. 10/10. No notes. Would absolutely risk it all again.
