    Chicken sandwich
    Victoria E.

    Very interesting establishment. You seat yourself and order your food at the bar. I was a little skeptical but so happy I stayed. I was torn by the burger and chicken sandwich and asked the bartender which I should go with and before I could finish my sentence he said chicken sandwich so that's what I went with. The sandwich was so good! The chicken was died perfectly and the sweetness from the honey mustard was a nice compliment.

    Boston classic irish pub as much as it gets a bit overpriced but hey look at the area what do you expect? i admire the ambiance with sport tv and stats all over along with the food and beverage selections it's wholesome and plenty of friendly service as well as vibes 10/10 this is great spot to go to after work or with friends. i got burger and fries and they were a home run!

    Fun and loud neighborhood bar that really delivers a good time and good food, even when it's busy on a rainy fall night. Love the Smithwick's on tap along with the Guinness. The Irish Mule is worth a nod, or two. Maybe three. Bartenders were really on top of it--attentive service even in the chaos. Above average bar food, topped by an amazing Reuben. No doubt other places in Boston are better but you just don't find great Reuben's in the south. We enjoyed this one as we did the dish and chips, another dish routinely botched at home. The cod fillet was perfect, crunchy on the outside but flaky on the inside. Pub fries almost worth price of admission.

    Smash burger. Delicious.

    Came here for lunch with my hubs after a nice MFA date with the hubs. I'll say ; The owner is great. It wasn't busy when we went in. We got our food fast. My husband got the smash burger. It was great! I wish I got it. My chicken fingers weren't worth the cost (two tiny pieces and one regular sized tender) and it wasn't great. But now I know and I'll get something else when I return. The smash burger (husband only ate half) heated up well. Glad we came by even if my dish was meh. Will be back.

    Came here for drinks with friends new to Boston and I was not impressed. The bartender had an attitude and was unfriendly. Thought about getting food and then I saw a mouse running around on the floor. Music was way too loud so it was hard to have a conversation. Women's bathroom was disgusting and one of the doors was missing a lock. There are TVs to watch games but there was no sound. The only positive was the one drink I got was quite strong and worth the $13 price. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Boston, Boston, Boston, Back Bay, Back Bay, Back Bay. Great Irish Bangers, Mash and Fish N Chips get no better. Great location, Great location in the middle of it all. The prices reflect the area. Staff is helpful and work hard to please. Old school Boston feel, in the middle of Back Bay.

    I'm still dreaming about this meal. We stopped by after a work conference, needless to say we were starving, and decided to share three go-to's. The food was all hot and fresh, delicious! Super flavorful, not over-oiled or greasy like some bars' food. Classic pub feel on the inside, dark and cozy. Service and food was quick to table. If I lived in Boston, this would be my stomping ground!

    Shepahhds pie! Yum!

    Literally amazing food!!! YOU MUST EAT: Scotch eggs! Calamari! The dipping sauce for their calamari will BLOW YOUR MIND!!! The pub vibe is great, the beers are great, the service was great - BUT THE FOOD IS RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!! If you're in Boston... YOU. MUST. GO. Have a great day my friends! Enjoy!

    Truffle Mac and cheese
    Maria M.

    I went to A.T. O'Keeffe's located on 911 Boylston St, Boston, MA. This irish pub and sports bar has over 65 bourbons and has one of the largest bourbon selections in Massachusetts. They also feature some pretty amazing food and cocktail selections! For cocktails we had their margarita and an old fashioned. The staff was very kind with helping us choose a whiskey to try based on our preferences. For appetizers we had their scotch eggs, buffalo wings and truffle mac and cheese. If you don't know what a scotch egg it is a boiled egg wrapped in irish sausage, coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. All of the appetizers were very good but my hands down favorite was the truffle mac and cheese. So creamy and so delicious! For entrees we had their honey dipper crispy chicken sandwich, the A.T.'s Burger and the Shepherd's pie. The Shepherd's pie was amazing and exactly the type of menu item you want to see at an irish pub! For dessert we had their Creme Brulée and Bourbon Pecan Bread Pudding. The Bourbon pecan bread pudding had so much flavor and of course a hint of Bourbon Cara. Next time you find yourself in Back Bay and its a game night head on over to this spot! You'll have an excellent time and won't be dissapointed in the food or drink. Rating: Ambiance: 7/10 Food: 8/10 Affordibility: 7/10

    Good place to come watch a game, but I wouldn't come here for a meal. We came in and sat ourselves at a table near the bar. Each table we tried had a bit of a wobble, so we picked the one that wobbled the least and sat down. It did take a while for someone to serve us, so we grabbed a menu from the table next to us and I looked at what was on tap. When our server came she was very friendly and got our beers to us right away. She recommended the chicken sandwich which I ordered. It was decent for bar food, chicken was fried very well but the honey mustard and other sauce just spilled out the back of the sandwich and it started to fall apart as I ate. Fries that came with it were nothing special. My boyfriend got the A.T. Burger which was ok but also nothing special. Our server was attentive, she did come and check on us a couple times after our food came out. We were the only ones I saw eating there, everyone else was there just for the game and beers. I think that's the move for this spot. This place has a good sized bar, large TVs, and beer on tap. Good for watching sports, but I would probably recommend eating dinner somewhere else before coming here.

We got a pretty big spread of food (honey bbq tenders, nachos, lobster roll, steak and cheese wontons, and margarita pizza). All of it was very average. The flavors were very average and the quality of the food was nothing special. Wish it was more Seaport quality. It's a bummer since not a single plate was piping hot when it got to our table. Everything was either room temperate or cold. Still a great spot to hang out in the sun outside!

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.
