    people sitting at a bar

    I love a dive bar and Biddy Early's was one of my favorites in Boston. There is memorabilia all over the walls and locals all sitting at the bar. I got an IPA which was delicious and had several great conversations with people at the bar. There is an underlying smell of a true bar and there is some type of lottery thing everyone is talking about but all together if you like a dive bar you will love this place.

    Came to BE's for some wings with a colleague . This is everything a Boston pub should be : no frills , TVs , casual abs great eats. We ordered wings n fires and they were amazing . Crispy fries and flavorful wings ! Service is very Boooooston as expected .

    My favorite dive bar in Boston. I love coming here with friends and just having a good time. I've met some cool people and the bartenders are awesome. Every comment about the suits in the bar are accurate haha I tried the food for the first time because I usually get there after 10pm. It was good and perfect for the bar. Definitely would order the mozzarella sticks and wings again before the kitchen closes. It's downtown so parking is almost non existent. I either walk here or take the train. Stop by if you're ever in the area!!

    A classic spot downtown. No fuss but a fun time. ID checked at the door and then you try to find a seat. Good beers and simple mixed drinks. Classic dive bar which dark lights and cool music. Nothing to complain about

    Extensive Wine list

    We went to Biddy Early's on a recommendation from a bartender at another bar, (in a restaurant) in Boston. We asked him for an authentic old Irish pub and Biddy Early's is the place. Old worn, and full of friendly locals. Check out their extensive wine list, White, Red. We always seek out authentic old bars and this is it. It is a dive, but in the best way. It isn't a bar built to resemble an old dive. It'f for real. It's an easy walk from the Aquarium, Finacial District and waterfront.

    Service was incredible first night with Hannah and the next day with Brian. Will not go wrong with the pour and it's price. I won't go anywhere else from now on when I visit. Great ambiance and the other bar patrons were friendly.

    Great Pour

    I don't think it's a thing, maybe we got lucky. But Monday Night Karaoke is a thing here. Here was…read moreour experience on around 9pm. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking. It can be pretty tough finding something so good luck. Seating: It's 3 floors of vibes (depending on the day) but this is no hidden gem, if you're looking for a local vibe, check this place out. Vibes: The nice touristy side of Boston, walking distance to a few scenic things. As for the spot, think Irish bar meets full-on nightlife energy. One floor might have karaoke, another has DJs, and another is just people vibing with drinks. It's lively, a little chaotic (in a fun way), and definitely a younger crowd energy. FOOD/DRINKS: Drinks are solid and pretty affordable for Boston, which is always a win. They've got everything from beers and seltzers to margaritas and cocktails. This isn't a craft cocktail lounge--it's more of a "grab a drink and keep the night going" type of place. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! I needed water and they provided it, no problem! TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. I didn't expect to have so much fun on a Monday night (the singing, the crowd participation, the dancing). What. A. Vibe. Maybe I got lucky but I hope you get this experience when you stop by.Fun, high-energy, and perfect for a night out with friends. Not the place for a quiet drink--but if you're trying to turn up a little and keep things moving, this is a solid stop in Boston. TIPS: *They seem to have something going on every night so check their website!

First come, first served poilcy. We first came on a Sunday afternoon, but were met with an hour and 45 minutes wait for a table of two. The following rainy Tuesday, we tried again and were able to get seated immediately, next to a window overseeing the water. I had the seafood platter and a cup of chowder. My wife had whole lobster for $40. TONS of delicious food. Four days prior, Union Oyster House had whole lobster for about twice the cost. All of the food was delicious. Boston Sail Loft was a great send-off restaurant to end our Boston trip. Thanks again to our new friends from Boston for the recommendation. Our server gave me useful info on the local beers. The platter had a delicious mix of scallops, shrimp, clams and fish. The chowder has a lot of dill in it, but wow...it's the best chowder I had on my trip. My wife loved her large lobster...tons of meat.

Started with the cup of clam chowder that comes dripping from the cup. They use a lot of dill here and come out hot. A bit on the salty side but oyster cracker helps with that. The lobster mac and cheese came with a salad. The lobster mac had a nice broiled cheese top and a creamy inside. Nice lobster and cheesy flavor to it. I got the warm lobster roll and changed it to come with onion rings for $1. The onion rings tasted homemade. Slight crisp to it and thick onions. The lobster roll was massive and the amount of lobster it came with was incredible. Poured the hot butter and squeeze lemon on it for an amazing bite. Would come back here for a larger party to share the plates and order more stuff from here. The lobster bisque is only on the weekends. They have daily menus as well.
