    City Tap House!

    My first stop in Boston and it can only go up from here. Their taps weren't working so no chance of a draft beer. I ordered clam chowder and it was luke warm.

    Fish and chips

    What a beautiful spot in seaport to have Bostonian fare and listen to live music. The bowl of New England clam chowder was large and in charge of yummy goodness! The fresh lobster roll had giant pieces of lobster dripping with warm butter and sandwiched between a fluffy, flaky soft roll!!! The live music was loud but not annoyingly that you couldn't hold a conversation! The restaurant was decorated for Halloween and had really nice lighting and decor!! Something that I appreciated but didn't get to enjoy was the outdoor patio seating with fire pits & comfy seating!!! Looked like a great way to beat the chilly air but still bask in the fall autumnal surroundings!!! Our waiter was nice and very attentive. Loved that he was engaging and conversing about where we traveled from!!! Overall this was an awesome establishment that is a nice and inviting spot if you are looking for solid pub dining and live music in the area!!!

    Thai Shrimp salad w/ extra shrimp

    Nice light dish, very flavorful. Tasted wings and fries, they were good as well. Would return to try other items on menu.

    Warm New England Lobster Roll

    I made a reservation for Monday night dinner for 11 people to take out my team. The reservation was ready and we were able to sit down as soon as we got there. It's a typical bar restaurant setting. Service was really good and attentive. The food was really good. We got brussels sprouts, corn and crab hush puppies, and chips with street corn dip and all were delicious. I got the warm lobster roll at market price which wasn't bad at $39. It was a very good lobster roll and fries. It filled me up. I didn't drink, but the rest of my team did and they liked the variety selection of beers, mixmixed cocktails, and wine. The bill was around $600 total for the 11 of us which was expected with respect to the area and the quality food and drinks we got.

    Crab Cake Plate Charred Brussel Sprouts Margherita

    A group of 6 of us were trying to secure a dinner spot and luckily City Tap House had some availabilities! We had a 7 pm reservation and were promptly seated once we arrived. We were waiting for the rest of our party and our host got us started with some drinks while patiently waiting for everyone. I asked for a drink recommendation and ended up with the ginger cucumber margarhita and loved it! For food, we ordered Brussels sprouts, hummus, and elote corn for the table and I got the crab cake plate for myself. Restrooms were also clean! Overall had a very enjoyable time and would come back with a group.

    Pork Nachos
    Eva A.

    Spur of the moment hunt for an espresso martini and lunch. Honestly not bad! Location is a bit removed from the business of Seaport, so probably doesn't get as much traffic as other restaurants in the area. As far as the espresso martini goes- If I was given it without having been told it was hazelnut infused, I wouldn't be able to tell. It just tastes like a regular espresso martini, but it's decent! A bit too sweet, not super strong. And at a fair price point for seaport. I've also never been to a place that offers it on the rocks vs straight up, interesting option. The Pork Nachos were a solid choice, not too big of a portion but enough for two. The chips didn't become soaked immediately, but our main critique was that toppings weren't distributed throughout, and that there wasn't a ton of pork. The feta topping was generous though, would get these again.

    undercooked tasteless pizza
    Steve F.

    Pizza was terrible and undercooked, fish and chips were greasey fries and a piece of fish the size of my palm. The waiter struggled to make eye contact and wore a dirty, stained, sweatshirt. Wouldn't come back here if I had a coupon. I gave it two stars because one of the two beers was cold.

    Guinness-Braised Beef Dip
    Kristen A.

    The Guinness braised beef sandwich was great! We also enjoyed the Nashville Cauliflower and Burger. I liked the cozy atmosphere, clean restrooms and many beers on tap! Very close to the convention center.

    Black angus burger.
    Von D.

    Yesterday was a most beautiful fall day to sit outside and have a late lunch at City Tap before a show. My husband ordered two local beers and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and enjoyed them both. I had honestly the best burger I've ever had. Requested medium, and it was cooked to juicy perfection. It doesn't come with a tomato, I had to ask. So delicious. We shared dessert and got the chocolate ganache tart with raspberry. Again, one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of eating. So rich and chocolatey. Simon was our waiter and he was super nice and just the right amount of attentive. Everything about our meal was just fantastic.

    Is the brunch available on the weekday?

    I am nearly 100% sure they only host brunch on the weekends.

    What kind of music is played?

    Pretty eclectic mix. I've heard anything from throwback hip hop to top pop. Shift manager's choice?

    Is this place kid friendly for brunch?

    100%!! They were awesome with my kiddos!

It wasn't particularly busy on a Sunday at 1pm, which was fine with us, and the other patrons were all middle aged (like us) or older; the youngest person was the bartender. The music wasn't blasting, there were hooks under the counter to hang your purse (which was much appreciated), and the gender neutral washroom was clean. The bar catered to beer drinkers, of course, and the only wine they offered was Pinot Grigio for $9 a glass, but it was nice and refreshing on such a hot day, and at least it wasn't something disgusting like Moscato.

It really is very tiny, so just be aware that seating is sometimes limited. They didn't have too much on draft, thought some of that was due to the Scottish being in town for the World Cup the week before. We went with lemon drop shots, and the bartender was very transparent about the fact that he was out of most of his supplies due to the Scottish. No fault at all to them for that because that was the situation at every bar we went to. Service was friendly, the shot was nice and strong, and it was a nice little spot. Beyond drinking, there isn't really much going on in the bar in terms of activities, but there were TVs. So, watching sports here is definitely an option. I'd definitely say that this spot is worth popping in if you are enjoying a night on the town, but that it probably shouldn't be the only spot you go to.

When we pulled up our reservation to confirm the time, we found that it had been cancelled without any communication at all. After calling the restaurant to see if something had happened, the host commented that the manager decided to cancel because we had notated we were coming in for drinks. No where on the website or OpenTable app does it say this is not allowed. Nor did the manager reach out via text or call to confirm or follow up before cancelling. We had already decided we would be getting appetizers and possible dinner as well so they did allow us to rebook when we called to inquire. The waiter was attentive and the waters were kept filled which we appreciated. It is worth notating that the Ceaser salad is not a traditional salad and their version just shows you why it's a classic for a reason. The bibb lettuce was wilted and the heavy pour/toss of dressing did nothing but weigh the salad down and make it slimy. The "crispy ricotta polpettes" while great in theory, missed the mark of complimenting the salad and instead seemed like a cold hush puppy that was more cornmeal forward than ricotta. The real reason we came, the espresso martini still held our attention and we were hoping that the best was yet to come. We each ordered an espresso martini and while our preferences range when it comes to the perfect cocktail, we all agreed this was not the way to do it. This is more reminiscent of a liquid mudslide than an espresso martini (calling it that, is taking very creative liberty). Despite the glass being rimmed with espresso powder, the cocktail lacked the espresso profile we were looking for and the different alcohols used were all fighting to be tasted above the other. A disappointing experience and lack of professionalism by the manager.

Be aware that if you're there on the weekend, then expect a wait of at least 45min to 1 hr or more. Needless to say though, it was worth the wait. We had a party of four and everyone raved about their meals. From the baked Haddock, to the baked Scrod, the grilled chicken salad and to my own lobster salad roll. I can only attest to the lobster roll but it was PACKED with meat. A lot of other places had half the amount of meat I got there for almost the same price. I expected much the same this time too but when it came I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer size of it. It came with some od the best fries I've ever had. Super hot, crunchy and full of flavor. The Cole slaw was somewhat disappointing though.. it had raisins in it?!?! Who does that?? The lobster roll could have used some more mayo on it but overall I was extremely satisfied with the meal and the service. We were seated next to the bathroom and kitchen towards the back but each of the tables in the back had window views to the water so that was nice. Bathrooms were clean and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend the place. It's a little on the pricier side but worth it for the big three (great food, great service and great location).

While the beautiful venue, incredible food, and attentive staff certainly deserve recognition, the true reason these events have been so successful is Rob, the Events Manager! From our very first conversation, Rob has been an absolute professional and a genuine partner in every sense of the word. Planning large-scale celebrations can be complex, but Rob makes the entire process feel effortless. He is responsive, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the event exceeds expectations. His commitment to hospitality is evident in everything he does. He took the time to understand our goals, our students, and the significance of these celebrations. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, expertise, and warmth so naturally. The Events Team and staff reflect this standard. Every member of the team has been welcoming, accommodating, and dedicated to providing exceptional service. Our graduates, families, faculty, and staff consistently leave talking about how wonderful the experience was, and that is a direct reflection of the culture of hospitality Rob has cultivated. If you are considering hosting an event in Boston, I cannot recommend Bostonia Public House highly enough. Ask for Rob...you will quickly understand why he is such an incredible asset to the organization!
