Staff was friendly and welcoming, especially bartender Andrea! Great drinks, friendly environment, and cool people.

The point hosted our birthday party and the staff was great! Very accommodating and communicative. Vibes were awesome and would absolutely do it again. 10/10 no complaints! read more

I had a "to-go" order of a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was done perfectly! Lots of "zip" in the chicken and the wrap was just the right amount of crispy! The sauce was applied so that it was moist, not soggy. read more

just passed by this place and it looked so fun! my bestfriend and i talked to the bartender andrea most of the night and she was so nice and attentive!! we got margs and nachos, everything was fairly priced and the rest of the staff was so sweet. would def come again read more

Jimmy and Kirsten are GREAT! They were so friendly during our lunch visit, and we will certainly be back!

Went there one morning and Kirsten the bartender was amazing! Very nice and very knowledgeable! Will definitely be coming back

I cannot recommend a place more than the Point. I recently held a surprise engagement party on the upstairs bar and the manager Jimmy and his team were phenomenal. The bartenders were great especially Clyde. My now fiancé's grandmother who has a hard time with stairs was helped up and down the stairs and he consistently came over to make sure she was all set with everything. I've been to this place a lot in the past and the live music is great too. Lots of good beers on tap and the food is always top notch! read more

07/16/2019 Our last day in Boston headed to The North End to drop off our luggage for the afternoon was looking on Yelp for a sports bar to hang out for a while. Came and tried out The Point. Looks like they just opened I ordered the clam chowder and the El Grande Nachos my friend got the Turkey Club sandwich. Just can't get enough of that New England Clam Chowder. Food was very good, being a Monday the restaurant quickly filled up with locals. The waitress/bartender gave us a pitcher of water to drink after we were done with our meal knowing we were there to kill time before our flight home. read more

Another beer stop when you are traveling, we had two beers, the attention was good. The place has good ambience, good music, a wide selection of beers and hard liquor. I'd recommend it for a couple of drinks, we didn't try the food. Pro tip: seat in one of the tables next to the windows so you can people watch! read more

A 49ers bar in Boston! Holy crap, I felt like I was in the Peninsula while I was on the East Coast. Great no-nonsense bar with decent grub! The beanies are too expensive though! read more

Sam always bartends at the point during the GloveBox Comedy Club on Tuesday nights. She makes everybody feel welcome. She always remembers my name which makes me feel appreciated. I always look forward to Tuesday nights at The Point read more

John at the door offered a high level of service by letting us know where everything was to be found at the bar! Thank you, John!

This place was fantastic!!! If you go back and read my previous post, the place right across the way is absolutely trash, but not this place! The service was great, food was delicious and the drinks were generous. It was packed and for good reason! Give this place your money and tip big, they deserve it! read more

This place is obviously owned and run by someone who's only worried about how much liquor they sell and not the food. I ordered the burger and was presented with a small burger patty with a fake like cheese and floppy bacon. And that was not the worst of it. The burger was put in between 2 pieces of soggy, non toasted white bread that made my stomach drop as soon as they set the plate in front of me. The waitress even told us the for a while they have had people complain about this white toast because the menu specifically says it comes on a brioche bun. So if many people have been complaining about it, and the menu says it comes on a brioche bun, you would think the waitress would have started telling people that their burger is a monstrosity on a floppy piece of white bread! I'm very disappointed with this establishment (if you can even call it that). If you are looking for a place to relax and watch a sports game or have a drink, there are a million other, BETTER places than this! read more

Best service, food, drinks and ambiance! Sam is a fantastic bartender and has some great recommendations. Love the strawberry basil drink, mozzarella sticks , and buffalo chicken nachos read more

Good music, either live or over the radio they pick. And Sam makes an amazing espresso martini.

I recently held a fundraiser at The Point. They were very accommodating to work with. They donated the space, their beautiful entire second floor, as well as enough food to feed my 70 guests. The bartender and servers demonstrated great customer service. All the food was great, especially their sliders and chicken tenders. I will absolutely have my next private event there! read more

Best Chicago Bears bar in Boston! Dedicated TV's and SOUND for every Bears game! Fabulous staff, great food and awesome Boston location

My team and I hosted a brunch at the point this past weekend and everything was absolutely incredible. From the accommodations to the food/drinks and service. HUGE thank you to everyone for making it such a success. Our guests were also incredibly impressed. We ended up coming back later that day to just grab a drink because just the vibe alone is enough to bring you back! read more

Friends and I went over ystrdy and ordered a few things - Fried Fish Sandwich, Fish and Chips, Pulled Pork and the Ribs & fries. Fish and chips were a disappointment, not your typical New England Fish and Chips -- it almost just tasted the same as the Fried Fish Sandwich; the sandwich was much better. Fried Fish Sandwich and pulled pork sandwich was pretty decent, a good combination of sauces and buttered bread! Ribs were definitely a bang for your buck! It's a whole rack + fries just at the price of $18 -- very worth it as compared to the other dishes we've ordered. Felt like the meat could've been marinated a little long bc the flavor didn't fully get into the meat but otherwise, twas the best dish of all. Food aside, the music from the speakers were super loud but they had live performances (a nice touch in my opinion! enjoyed that). There was a lady server whom we thought was super rude, shouted at us when we had no idea if we were supposed to look for a table ourselves/ we would be allocated one (directions were unclear when we stepped foot into the pub restaurant) -- like I understand maybe it was busy and she looked like she was one of the only 2 servers but it put a slight bitter first impression on us :-( The guy who later served us was really nice and made the whole experience much better :-) read more

Cozy venue, but apparently a cook showed up to work late and despite that there were few people in the venue, we waited 30 minutes for food.

Waited ten minutes to order a single beer, then waited at least 30 minutes for my food. Waitress came and said "the computer froze" and my order didn't go through. She Couldn't express my order, so that was it. She did comp the beer, which was in her favor, so kudos for that. However, where was she checking on a table sitting there for more than half an hour with no food delivered? Not going back, even though I was there for a prior good experience. read more

Standard downtown dive bar. $16 gets you a generous portion of chicken tenders. On tap beers are ice and cold. Ask for an off menu cocktail and pay the price - $24 in fact for 1.5 oz of bourbon, 1 oz of disaronno, 2 dashes of bitters on ice. read more

quiet honestly the best food and drinks I've had in Boston. highly recommend a drunken pumpkin & the chicken super nachos . it's worth the trip! do ittttt!! Plus the waitress was amazing! #josieandthepussycats read more

Stoped in for a quick bowl of chowder and beer one afternoon. Delicious food and quick friendly service. Very welcoming

A truly bizarre and violently run bar. I had visited six years ago and vowed never to return, but the spot was empty and looked inviting (it does have a beautiful inviting facade). The staff was upset due to a snowstorm and had no customers! The spot is poorly managed as I had no service and saw no staff for 15 minutes (i asked about it amd was asked to leave) the food was cold per the few customers around me, they where bashing their ownership and the staff from the night before for not cleaning nor setting up prior. EVEN THOUGH BOSTON HAD A BLIZZARD. On and on. For your wallet, happiness, and safety, please avoid this spot. There's nothing good there. Terrible service and bad food. DANGEROUS & AVOID. read more

Who got the wings? THE POINT GOT THE WINGGGGGGS! All I can say is "juicy, juicy,yum,yum!" When I went to this bar I didn't know what was in store for all my tatsty buds. I was feeling a bit peckish, so after a healthy debate with my inner ( and outer) fat kid, I ordered some buff wings ( girls got a weakness, what can I say?). WELL, didn't I hit the jackpot. The only word that comes to mind is JUICY! Oh 'em god, I was not ready for that explosion or flavor. As I inhaled my chicky wings, I don't even think I took a breath, I mean why waste my time. Needless to say, this hungry mama of 5 will be back. But, get better wet naps... read more

Was told that this part of Boston was one of the most historical places so I stopped in. First, the security guys made me already feel so welcome before even entering into the front door. Which says a lot for Boston. I got mozzarella sticks and the shrimp tacos. Both amazing. Service.... They didn't skip a beat. Will absolutely come back especially because they have AC and will turn certain game sounds on if we ask. read more

One rainy Monday evening, we ran around the corner by Boston Public Market and found the entrance to The Point. A ground floor bar with high top tables, a single lady was slinging drinks. We settled ourselves at a table for two and after a bit, obtained a menu from a couple seated at the bar. We mulled over the food options before settling upon the fish tacos and one of their pizzas. I wasn't sure how service would be handled in such an environment so I checked in with the bartender. Five minutes after, she came around to take our order. Fifteen minutes, and our food arrived. Fried Haddock Tacos $11.95 Fresh warm tortillas with lettuce, Monterey Jack & cheddar cheeses, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and garlic aioli John Hancock Chicken Pesto Pizza $10.95 Breaded chicken tenders, roasted red peppers, melted cheese and pesto sauce The pizza was thin and somewhat larger than a personal size pie. The chicken did not come breaded despite the branding. My DC had assumed that pesto would replace the normal red sauce spread out on the pizza crust, but instead it was drizzled on top. With both crisp and chew, it was satisfactory. We initially was served the chicken taco variant. But the correction was made, and five minutes later the fish tacos arrived. The protein and the portion of the protein was the sole difference. Several slices of chicken vs 1-2 pieces of fried fish fingers nestled in each of three salad filled soft flour tortillas, which helped me to imagine that I was eating healthy. I preferred the crisp fish over the slightly dry white meat chicken. Their fries were great. 3.5 stars *** 9/2018 *** Turns out The Point has an upstairs, and we had our little private social event up there with our own bartender. Hot appetizers I sampled were pizzas with a nice crispy crust beneath the sauce and cheese, and crispy cheese sticks that goo-ed as I ate them hot. read more

Held a Boston Marathon fundraising event here- such a great event space! Jimmy was particularly helpful and communicative about everything that the Point would help out with. The Point donated the upstairs space and a lot of food for my event. They went above and beyond to make sure I didn't need to worry about anything besides my guests. Overall, fantastic service and a perfect space for fundraisers/private events! read more

My girl was bleeding from head! I went out with a cup of water just to give her some water to clean it. The bouncer didn't let me , even though he saw the situation. He knew it was just a water. He was rude, and swearing. I wouldn't go there again even if I were a white person. This place is a shame for Boston. read more

The ambiance is awesome and the drinks/food are amazing. Definitely worth visiting if you want to have a fun and safe night out in Boston with friends. read more

I have visited the Point several times since I moved to Boston, and let me tell you, it never disappoints. Yesterday, we enjoyed watching the Celtics game, but it is also an excellent spot for live music on the weekends or just enjoying a nice day. The food and drink menu is extensive, and I always know when I bring friends here that there will be something for them. Getting to what makes the Point truly incredible is their staff. They go above and beyond to care for you and make sure you get the experience you are looking for. Thank you, Jimmy, Chris, and Meg; we will see you soon!! read more

I was at The Point with a few close friends earlier this week and we had an amazing experience. The food was great (Buffalo Cauliflowers, Brussel sprouts, and calamari were the favorites). Tiana, the bartender was awesome as well. I had gin smash as my drink and it was just the right flavor and fizz with great atmosphere and friends to enjoy with. The location another winner for The Point. if you are out to enjoy the game or just walking the freedom trail - this is the spot to make a pit stop to get charged up!! read more

By far the best spot you will find in Boston. The best clam chowder and an even better grilled chicken BLT. Wait staff is amazing and I can't wait to come back again in a few days to watch the Celtics. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Such good food, amazing service and great atmosphere, really fun drinks. I literally bring everyone that visits me in Boston to the point!!! if you don't go to the point you didn't do boston right read more

This place is the number one tourist trap in this area. It's a joke. Avoid. Horrible service and overpriced drinks

On the leading night of our Boston vacation, we ended up eating our first dinner in the Point. The Point is along the Boston Freedom Trail between Faneuil Hall and Haymarket in the shadow of the Rose Kennedy Greenway and North End off a gray cobblestone alleyway named Marshall Street. The Point is incorporated in a pointed section of a historical building that can be traced to 1795 when the attached Bell In Hand Tavern opened that year. In the heart of this historical district it is also a few cobblestone steps from the Ebenezer House built in 1767. The Point is so rich in history that it seemed more realistic that I could run into Sam Adams instead of drinking a Sam Adams. But it would drink a Sam Adams and picture him in this neighborhood hundreds of years ago. It is fitting that I would have a Sam Adams in the Point. Boston is Sam Adams Country! Additionally, the historical district that is home to the Point is also home to bars that create a happening night-time scene. On the Saturday night we ended up at the Point, the nearby bars and restaurants were packed making it laborious to find a place to sit for dinner and a beer. We just happened to find a vacant table in the Point. And so I was one of hundreds of people enjoying the Boston bar scene on Saturday night. If I didn't chose to enjoy it with a Sam Adams their beer menu features nine other drafts. Leading into my recollection of my dining adventure here, I will pass on the tip that pubs usually serve premium hamburgers. The Point does justice to this tip. I ordered the Haymarket burger with fries and a sliced pickle. This premium hamburger was loaded with lettuce, tomato, cheese, mushrooms, and red onions. It was four stars worthy delicious. With the hamburger, I ate my brother's salad that came with his meal (he does not care for salad). This was a generous sized portion. The menu is more than burgers. It includes sandwiches, pizza, and numerous pub entrees. The menu is a fun read because the categories and some of the food is named after nearby Boston points of interest. Two examples are the salad section is the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the appetizers are the Haymarket starters. We took in the food and beer from a table near the door leading to the cobblestone alleyway. The room, which by the way is the lower of the two floors, was an interesting place to spend time in. The pointed layout is near the bar and across from an area where a band was setting up. From the point the tables also converge. I got the impression that only two people were running the show. They were a young man and woman. They would transition between server, busses, and bartender. Considering how busy it was on a Saturday night, I was impressed by their work ethic. At this point in the Review it is time to stop talking about the Point and get to the point. The point is that the Point is worthy of Four Stars. read more

I hosted a private event for a birthday party here last Saturday and could not have had a better time! Tanner the bartender was amazing and Chris and Jimmy made the whole day so seamless. Everyone had a blast and the food was awesome. I will be booking here for any and all of my next events! read more
