Staying on this side of the water from The Garden and wanting to find some food and drinks before a show this spot popped up as a great looking option. It avoided the large crowds from the other side. We were promptly sat at a couple tables near the bar. The overall vibe is what you'd expect of a gastropub with a long bar and plenty of other seating too. Staff were friendly and our waiter did a great job overall. Drink wise they have a full bar, beers on draft, and plenty of speciality cocktails too. Our party of five sampled a good amount of these cocktails including the Heavens to Lemons, Smoke n Mirrors, Hot Damn Margarita, and more. All of them were well made with plenty of flavor. Secondly, onto food our party tried a variety of food as well. One person got Skillet Nachos, another Street Corn Quesadilla with Carne Asada, another Salt & Pepper Calamari. While my wife and I got their Short Rib Melt with kettle chips. My wife substituted the horseradish mayo to normal mayo and they had no issues doing this change for her. The short rib was so tender, cooked to perfection. They did a great job with all the food and me and my wife would gladly return for the sandwich again! We all thought it was a perfect pre-concert stop for drinks and food. Friendly and quick service for our visit! read more

If I could give zero stars I would! First off we made a reservation a few weeks in advance for my daughter's birthday for Saturday night, there were only two of us. We arrived 5 minutes early and went to the hostess and she saw our reservation, but she said she would have to get her manager. After a few minutes a gentleman came to the hostess stand and said he doesn't know how we had a confirmed reservation but he couldn't seat us because he has 5 parties going on and the only open space was at the bar. We saw some open tables, but he said that the parties were taking those (they were never used) and he couldn't seat us there. We showed him the confirmed reservation and the multiple text messages we were sent telling us that we had a reservation, but he just shrugged his shoulders and said he had too many parties and he couldn't seat us so we could be seated at the bar. The table was in between loud parties, everyone watching the basketball and baseball games and it was sooo loud we couldn't even hear the waiters. Our waiter was awful, he looked like he didn't want to be there and was very soft-spoken so we couldn't even hear him in all the loud noise. Lastly, the food was awful! We both had fish and chips because it was recommended by several people. The fish was inedible because it was burned and very dry, the fries were decent but soggy and my side of baked beans was so thick and chewy because they were overcooked and dry. We had to ask for refills of our water and our waiter never asked if we wanted another drink, guess he didn't care. Overall, it was terrible service, terrible food and we will not waste our vacation to go back again when there are many other places we can try over the next few weeks we are in town. read more

Nice festive ambience here when I visited for the first time as part of a small private event last week. Clearly seems to be a neighborhood place that is on many individual's regular destination lists. I did find the brunch food offered to be (too) heavy on the portions, seasonings and ingredients. Would welcome another opportunity to try a different segment of their menu such as a fish and chips or more standardized bar experience. Agree with other reviewers that it may be understaffed. read more

Cute little spot- nice to go in the summer with outdoor seating. Service was great and quick. Good American food- got pizza, salmon, and sandwich. Pretty good staples and great location. Recommend read more

We went here for Saturday brunch! Parking was tight so if you go plan ahead, especially in the snow! We were very satisfied with our meals and what we paid for them, we got the Diner Breakfast and for the price we were very impressed with the portion sizes. The service was also great, we sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly and conversational. It was very nice to see some regulars also in there, sometimes it just makes everything a little bit more real when someone who is there all the time steps in. This place was great for brunch and they also seem to have a great atmosphere for parties! read more

This restaurant is excellent. The food is very good and there is a really robust menu with lots of different options. They have a deep draft beer list. The food is high quality and flavorful with large servings. The staff is friendly. The prices are fair and there are no BS fees. I've been here several times and it's always been a great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Came here on the last leg of my trip, we had a reservation but that didn't seem to matter since they weren't able to find it, after a few minutes we were sat down. My friend ordered a margarita which tasted really strong, but was good. We ordered a pizza which tasted more of frozen from a supermarket rather than fresh, but still somewhat good. Not to mention the waiter seemed to be running around a lot, despite half the restaurant being empty. Overall it was a good experience. read more

Came in with a group of 7 prior to a Bruins game. It was a weeknight, 5:00pm, and the restaurant was not busy so we thought "great! We'll be set on time, no problem ". Wrong. Sloooowwww service. Server seemed to be flustered and the dining room was about 20% full. We had trouble getting orders taken, drinks delivered, food delivered. Went up and got the check. Food was fine but not great. Clam chowder was heavy and too thick, could taste the flour in the soup. Quesadilla and nachos were good. Overall, a good location for dinner before an event at TDGarden and I would go there again but would try to sit at the bar. Bar seemed busy and maybe better service. read more

Fantastic corner bar! The food was amazing for bar fare... the Rubin was huge and tasty...lively atmosphere filled with lots of smiles and laughs. The bar and wait staff were very attentive. read more

Nice folks with a lot of of taps. My wife ordered a dish she didn't care for, they replaced it without any fuss. I had the Mac and cheese with the short rib, which I thought was delightfully. I thought service could have been better but it was what I would say adequate. Lots of beer on tap, lots of choices. Facility is nice, definitely Bostonesque. I will be coming back here. read more

On the way back from the USS Constitution and were ready to eat our arms as we were THAT hungry! Luckily, we saw signage for this establishment and WHAT A GREAT VIEW OF THE HARBOR!! Nice shaded area where we were sitting and the golden afternoon sun was mood lighting the harbor!! The kitchen is actually off to the side and the menu was a reduced one but had all of the items we wanted! Actually, I guess you could call this their outdoor seating! The bar was off to the side so we had some beer while they worked up our late lunch feast! I ordered the beer battered fish sandwich with a salad which paired nicely with the German Pilsner. The salad was crisp and cold plus was quite fresh and filling! The fish sandwich was absolutely delicious with a heavenly toasted bun! Price was reasonable for the view and atmosphere! read more

This is one of the worst resturant experiences I have ever had! We were seated that waited forever to place our order. Then waited even longer to get our food (a burger, wings, and a pretzel -- nothign complicated.) When the food came, it was obvious they'd put them under heat lamps and just forgotten about them. The pretzel arrived dried out, and the conidments crusted over from the heat lamp, and the wings, in addition to not haveing any flavor has been overcooked AND sat under a heat lamp. They were dry and flavorless. Then another very long wait for anyone to come check on us, and then another huge wait for the check to be brought. The bar was slammed, but the dining room was empty. There's no excuse for such bad service and bland food made worse by sitting and drying out under the heat lamp. Left a 10% tip and a note expalning why. Just. Terrible. read more

Food was good, especially enjoyed their Oktoberfest menu items: the bratwurst was delicious. (My favorite is the Rueben here, but decided to try these awesome flavors pretzel and bratwurst.) Service was a bit understaffed this day, and the hostess had to do some of the table work (kudos to her); still caused extra waiting. read more

The food was top notch. We did drinks & apps & we're not disappointed!! The street corn fritters, lobster ration, & chili lime shrimp are must try's!! The service was a bit slow, but it was an early Monday afternoon. The restaurant is convenient, clean, & classy. read more

Went there back to back nights. Really close Residence Inn Marriot Boston Harbor. Excellent food and great drinks. The short rib melt and Jalapeño Mac and Cheese were on point. Cool atmosphere and great service. read more

Great spot for dinner and drinks, but I would NOT recommend for lunch. I have been to Blackmore a lot over the years and always have a great time when I stop in for a drink after work or a quick dinner at the bar. The vibe at the bar is great, they have a good beer selection and I love the apps. I will continue to come back for post-work drinks! Unfortunately, the lunch experience is consistently bad. They are typically slow at lunch, which is fine but the place is uncomfortably quiet and boring in the dining room. The service is also typically slow, and I haven't enjoyed any of the lunch options on the menu. Everything I try has been dry or bland. read more

Went here for St. Patty's Day. Had a festive dinner with live music!! Lobster Raviolis were fantastic!! Service wasn't bad, just somewhat less attentive than I would have desired. Seems to pull a decent crowd of regulars. Overall, would recommend!! read more

We were staying nearby and wanted to grab a quick bite before heading out. We are at the bar area which had several high top tables. We only wanted a few appetizers so we started with the New England Clam Chowder, the spinach and artichoke dip and an order of chicken dumplings. The clam chowder was excellent. It was thick and hearty, it tasted so good. The dip was served with nacho chips and pita bread. It tasted very good. Last but not least were the chicken dumplings, they were good but not great. The service was good, they took care of us right away. read more

Food and service were not good. The first thing was we were given the regular menus instead of brunch menu so we had to redo our orders. Then our food took roughly 1-1.5 hours to come out and yes we were a large group of 16 people but we arrived at opening time. I will not go into everything but I will give you 3 main takeaways. 1- none of us got fruit that was included with our order 2- I ordered avocado toast and my order came out with no avocado on it at all. They tried to fix it by placing cut up avocado on top but that's not avocado toast. The waiter said that's how we do it here and I politely said ma'am avocado toast is smashed avocado. So I completely changed my order 3-food was cold, dry and greasy. read more

This place had friendly service each of the 3 times I went here during my 5 day visit. Food was very good each time. Caesar salad was quite good, got it twice. Relaxing atmosphere with very attentive servers and bartenders. read more

I ate the steak here which was cooked well. Nice restaurant and atmosphere. I will say however rule #1 of a restaurant before opening is to have very clean front glass doors w/o fingerprints as it's the first impression and sign of what is inside. read more

Fantastic spot for a taste of Boston! The clam chowder and jalapeño Mac-n-cheese were to die for, and the friendly and professional customer service provided by Daphne made for a truly enjoyable and memorable first visit. She had great recommendations for food and drink and her pleasant demeanor was a joy to experience! We'll be back for more! read more

Whenever my wife and I travel, we always find a spot that is our "home base", our "old faithful" spot to where we know we can depend on for that "night cap" of "if all else fails". During our trip to Boston (beginning of November 2020), it was less than a 3 minute walk from the hotel (Residence Inn in Charlestown) and fit perfectly for what we needed. First, we were very impressed with how Covid clean they were and how spread out it felt. It had a very comfortable feeling that made it even more secure. It wasn't busy at all and we had some excellent bartenders the entire time. The food was perfect for each occasion we. We had snacks dinner, appetizers, beverages...no matter what we had, it was solid. They also have a great variety that could fit many taste profiles from smoked wings, to the "chowda", a fantastic burger, brunch, real sides other than fries including collards.... just a good spread and worked well for how many times we came here. It truly became our "go to" for the 4 days we were there. The mac and cheese was a bit suspect and the wife loves mac and cheese so I would caution that but worth tasting for yourself. I do wish they had more of the tv's on to give it that "sports bar feel" as they only fired off a few tv's but I bet this is a cool place with a great layout for sports events and when covid is lifted. To us, and if we are back in this area, we will come back to "home" just because of how solid it was for an overall day to day feeling that made us feel welcomed. Definitely stop by and show some love. read more

This was a fantastic and pretty large spot in Charleston. Perfect for grabbing dinner before a concert at TD garden without all the crowds.

Family friendly and probably the only reason we stopped here. Service was not the best.... Our server would disappear for 15-20 minutes and never came back to take our order. We had to flag another server to take our order. We would ask our server specific menu item questions and she would tell us that she would get back to us with an answer and would again, run off for another 15 minutes before seeing her again. Food was OK. burger was over cooked and dry and overly sweet. Balsamic prosciutto pizza was overly sweet. Shrimp bowl was flavorless. Would not be back. read more

I hosted a happy hour reception here recently with my work colleagues and it went really well. We had a nice area to the left of the bar. The bartenders and staff were great. Very quick with drinks. We did a bunch of appetizer foods and it was all very tasty. Pretzel bites - these came with a truffle cheese sauce. So good! Chicken tenders - nice size pieces, not too big, crunchy crust, soft inside Margherita pizza - their pizzas are thick like a Detroit style. Very tasty. Lots of cheese on top. BBQ chicken pizza Spinach artichoke dip - yummy, had nice chunks in it, good with their chips Crudite - always good to get some veggies in. It had a nice dipping sauce. Definitely a nice local bar restaurant. Good food. Great staff. read more

I can't say enough for the service and experience myself and my guests received by Patrick and his entire staff. I booked this location for a reception after an event on the USS Constitution, and it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and plentiful, the ambiance was perfect and everyone had a fantastic time. And the freshly baked cookies are epic! When planning an event, details matter, and the staff had everything covered, it was literally like pushing the "easy button." Any event you need to book in that area, I highly recommend it. read more

We enjoyed a hearty dinner here! My husband had the Shepherd's Pie and I had the Short Rib Poutine. Both were excellent and perfect for a chilly Boston night. The Shepherd's Pie was delicious, although I only had one bite. It was just the right size, seasoned perfectly, wasn't overpowered by potatoes, browned nicely, and had the perfect balance of meat and potatoes. The dish was extremely hot when served. Short Rib Poutine. What a combo. First of all, ANYTHING with short ribs is delicious! Combine that with poutine and I'm all in. It was awesome. When the plate was first brought to the table, I almost asked if they'd forgotten to put gravy on it. Turned out it was hidden by all the ingredients and I was glad by the end of the poutine that it hadn't been soaked in too much gravy. This is a ridiculously rich, comforting dish of food that could've been overwhelming. If I'd shared it as an appetizer and then had dinner, I doubt I could've finished dinner. The appetizer portion was a perfect dinner portion, even though I didn't quite finish it. Left fries behind as they had to be sacrificed for the enjoyment of the short ribs, which were amazing. Great dinner! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday in July. Pretty quiet. Hostess was our waitress and was friendly. Menu is much more limited than what shows up on Yelp. Waitress said due to COVID they scaled back the menu and clearly have not returned to normal. Very limited vegetarian options which was challenging. 3 of 4 of us got the spinach salad which was "fine". I ordered a cup of chowder and a veggie burger. Chowder was good but not great. A little thin for my taste. The veggie burger was not good. Edible but I'd pass in the future. We could overhear the waitress talking to the cooking staff about us so that was not great either. Probably better options out there. In fact I'm sure there are. read more

Food ok. Drinks ok. Customers are MONSTERS. I went early Saturday by myself and bar was full except for one empty chair. The inconsiderate staff told me that I needed to squeeze in. They were "too busy" to help. First place a 50 year old man told me "I'm not moving a Fxcking inch". What a charmer. Next spot 2 gals moved over but a 43 year old man WITH HIS WIFE called me a piece of shxt and to get out. Management did NOTHING. I'd been the night before spent about $80 Inc a great tip. I held my ground and said you Bostonians hate visitors, huh? I'm from Chicago where we know tourists keep us going. Ditto here but my of my what horrible people. I've traveled to 40 countries and NEVER been spoken like this. The place is a two minute walk from a big hotel. They get tons of tourists. I actually bought a double shot of Jameson for the second idiot. Anonymously. He left and his wife was still there. He was gone a long time. She was lovely. I'm a 50 white female. Do NOT go there is you are any minority. I can't even imagine the abuse you might get. Shame on them. Shame on Boston. I stayed because I wasn't going to let a bunch of misogynistic men run me off. I sat next to a nasty dude on the flight too. Women minorities - this is a bad place. read more

I really enjoyed my food here. I liked the poutine a lot (disclaimer: I am from the Midwest so I am clearly not poutine expert). I liked how it was smothered in gravy and I loved the short ribs on top. And my service was great. The bartender accepted an expired coupon and worked with us in deciding drinks and food read more
