    The Puddingstone Tavern in Boston, MA

    I didn't see the free popcorn, but I did get their free wifi as I sat here for about an hour with a beer and my laptop, doing some "work" for a bit. It's a cute tavern-style place with a list of taps, a lot of spirits and some pub grub that I saw others enjoying. There are also a few TV's tuned into sports channels. It's a nice local watering hole and that's a good thing. I'm a fan. [Review 9800 overall, 1378 for 2018.]

    Lemon drop from heaven!!!

    Staff was amazing (Matty-ice) Music was on- point and "age appropriate" HOW FUN.. Sports were booming on the TV and such a friendly crowd

    Celebrated a friend's birthday here and it was great! They do run all IDs through a scanner so it took a bit time for us to all get inside, since we were a big group of 13. After we got inside, the decor was really cute and there was pretty nice lighting that was not too dark. The music was also on point--some light rock and pop that was not too loud. We could talk at a normal volume and not have to yell over the sound. Since it was a Tuesday night, they had a $10 beer of the week + burger special. This was such a good deal!! The beer of the week was a PBR. The food came very quick and the burger came with fries. My friends and I all thought it was delicious, and very good for late night eats. What was even more awesome was that they did individual checks for all 13 of us! This saved us so much time and we did not have to figure out how to split the costs afterwards. Best service at a bar that I've seen in a while. I will definitely come back here with friends again!

    A nice little bar by Brigham Circle with indoor and outdoor seating! The back outdoor area has a completely different vibe than the front. Nice, woody simple decor with some quirky antique looking things here and there. No pretty city skylines to see, as it's surrounded by tall light wooden fences, but it does have a nice city backyard charm with cute string lights hanging across the tops! Would come back to go sit out in the back again on a nice day.

    What used to be the Crossing is now a fine establishment.

    See all

    Biggest plate of nachos ever seen at a bar. Sliders are amazing. Everything is priced kindly and trivia night on Saturdays are good vibes.

    The number of taps was not bad. Inside was rather disorganized and messy although not the worst for a pub. Service was not great.

    They've classed it up a bit but still don't have the kitchen open after a month of being open. Interesting business model

    21st Amendment - Best Sliders and onion rings ever!

    Been here for drinks quite a bit and always enjoyed it but!! Yall!! I got the sliders this last…read moretime. Let me tell you they've ruined sliders and maybe burgers in general for me forever. 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.

    Stumbled on this little place for lunch after visiting the State House and Athenaeum past lunch…read moretime the wife and I were hungry and thirsty! 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!
