The bar tender screams for all to hear " NO ID NO DRINKS". So we gives our IDs and right from the go! He told my sister that her ID was fake and the person on the ID wasn't her like out loud! We don't have to hide anything she's a registered nurse for over 20 years now and the bartender just profiled my sister for his own beliefs. Just because she's short and her face is kind of young looking. He sends us out of the bar. It's ok I won't like to support rude people like him. So, we took our $ some other place. He tough he sawed a fake ID, but he didn't! It's a real ID and my sister is lot older than him, and probably his wife looks terrible compared with my sister. Will never step there ever again for my next trip to Boston. The bar tender can stick that bar yall know where.

The lady working, there was amazing to us. The place smells so good for five pool tables. You can play at your leisure on great beer.

My friend went to Blue Ocean Music Hall night before last. She has #Parkinsons disease.The person…read moretaking tickets and assigning seats (40ish, brown shoulder-length hair) refused to let my friend sit in the closest open seat, because the owners or their friends "might" decide to come in and use it. She assigned my friend a seat all the way across the crowded venue. My friend asked if she could pull a chair up and sit down, and the manager told her no. In fact, one of the first things she said to my friend was, "If you're handicapped, how did you get in here?" My friend, who's in her 70s, walks with a cane and was afraid to traverse the venue in the dark, because of trip hazards. She stood on a ramp for 2 HOURS, holding onto a railing. This staff member stood 10 feet behind her. When my friend asked her for her name, she said, "I'm not going to tell you." And when my friend was leaving, this woman called after her, "Goodnight! Thanks for coming!" Little fact for you: my friend was in the music business for 30 years, and handled the biggest clients and their money when women were generally relegated to sex objects. She founded famous music venues! She put up with a lot and deserves your respect. This woman by her web image seems to be general manager. She's definitely someone who can fire people, because another staff member was afraid (!) to help my friend for fear of losing their job. Blue Ocean Music Hall, you need a new general manager. She's an ADA lawsuit waiting to happen and has no empathy, graciousness, professionalism or sense of hospitality. She behaved like a straight up bigot and has no business working with the public. Obviously, she knows this, or she would have offered her name like a professional. Do better.

He must have been very upset because he called me a "faggot", and his lady said "I remember my 1st beer". However, she may have forgotten about every other beer that she has had. lol. I wanted to tell her "Man" to grow some balls, but he waited until I was out-of-range to call me a "faggot", so I already knew that he was a coward. I fucking love this place though! The fact that I feel comfortable with someone having a "problem" with me, and calling me a "faggot", and being able to giggle about it, means that I will be back at this place for the rest of my life!

The staff is top tier friendly and ridiculously attentive, and the whole place just has this vibe where it genuinely feels like family, both the staff and the patrons make you feel at home in a way I've honestly never experienced at any other bar. And it's not just a bar either, on the other side you've got "Franny's," set up like a classic diner with black and white checkerboard floors and those small barstools right by the grill where you can sit and watch them cook breakfast. I've probably worked my way through just about the entire menu, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and I've never once been disappointed, whether it's pizza, calzones, steak tips, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, homemade soups, or their rotating specials, everything is consistently excellent. The drinks are just as good, they'll make basically anything you ask for without hesitation. They've also got karaoke every Saturday night, Trivia on Thursday nights, TouchTunes for music, darts, multiple TVs for watching sports, Keno, and an ATM, which to me checks all the boxes for a local bar. Between the staff, the camaraderie, the quality of the food, and the drinks, you really can't go wrong, and now they've added an incredible dessert menu that I haven't been able to stay away from either. From the second I walked in, I knew this place was different, and it really is that good.

We went early to have dinner. The waitresses were beyond amazing. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend getting a double order of their brussels sprouts and a pizza. When we were getting ready to get our tickets for the show, come to find out they're more expensive when you buy them the day of and at the venue, the hostess that we dealt with was extremely hostile and rude to the point where we were not going to stay for the show there was another person there we didn't know he worked there because he had a pink sweatshirt on, but he chimed in and also gave me and my friends a hard time and told us if we didn't wanna pay then just leave. I would never go back there for an event to be treated disgustingly by the hostess and the so-called man in the pink sweatshirt. I 100% recommend going to the restaurant and just try to avoid the crude young hostess, who clearly hates her job and is in the wrong profession
