Good times, not my first time visiting this establishment. We stopped in after the Boston Marathon, we had a large group of people. Zach, our waiter took care of everything. Prompt, courteous, and on point. Diablo mussels were fire!!! Even brought out a special dessert and sung happy birthday to my young daughter. Food was great, everyone loved it. Would definitely recommend, very good vibe! read more

$57 for 2 guinness and 2 draft stouts that were normal rotating taps. Nothing special edition. Never again. Do not go here. Manhattan pricing and the place and the service are nothing special. read more

Food here is delicious. I previously ordered mussels in a tomato based and was hoping to order it again but it's no longer available. This time I tried their clam chowder. I will never be able to have clam chowder outside of Boston again. Service was acceptable. I came at lunchtime and sat inside. It wasn't busy. They also have seating outside which was much busier. I think this is one of my favorite places to eat when in Boston. To be honest I wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it is since I thought it was more about the drinks. But I was wrong. read more

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!!! read more

Fantastic beer selection. The place was comfortable until the music started. WAY too loud. We were in a side room, on the other side of the restaurant from the musician, and it was still too loud. Had trouble conversing. Food was very average. Pizza was not good. Burger was okay. Come for the beer, don't eat the food. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The City Tap House is near the Seaport area and has a great selection of beer and burbon. The Street Corn was one of the best corn salsa that I've ever had. The wings were spot on as well. As an entree, I had the Poke bowl and it did not disappoint. Oh, and they also have a great beer selection. read more

Terrible experience at this restaurant yesterday. Last year I had visited this place and had enjoyed it, but unfortunately it had gone downhill significantly. It was extremely loud and hard to talk to the people in the booth across from me. We were seated, waited for 30 minutes and no staff came to our table. We tried to flag over a few servers and were blatantly ignored. I finally went and asked the hostess if someone was going to be coming. Once she sent over a server, it took another 20 minutes for him to bring over our drinks. We ordered food and had asked for a modifications on one of the dishes. The dish came out and was not made the way that we asked, but we were unable to send it back because the server literally didn't come back for another 20 minutes, and we were ready to get out of there. The rest of the food was mediocre and overpriced in my opinion. I won't be back. read more

We keep trying this place because there aren't a lot of midrange / family friendly places nearby but it keeps disappointing us. Today our food was all really mediocre and one of our party had soup and it was not even lukewarm :-( we complained and asked for a second bowl, which was equally cold. Waitress didn't know anything about the beers on tap, and the kids pizza tasted like marinara sauce with bad cheese. All in all, we wont be planning on trying it again :-/ read more

Great atmosphere and drink selection, however, we did see several mice running around which was a major turn off; employees were aware and dismissive. Would never eat here. read more

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. read more

So many really delicious places in Boston, this would not be on my list. We came for the weekend to check this place out before the game... the soda was a little flat, and the chicken wings were just okay. The highlight was pretzel sticks that you cannot go wrong with. It was clean, and the service was good when our server eventually came, but I would try somewhere else. Reminds me more of like an Outback (but I think Outback wings are better). read more

The food, service and atmosphere were super! Highly recommend this restaurant if you need gluten free options, they were accommodating and helpful! read more

I was eating lunch and the very rude bartender abruptly demanded a credit card payment as it was after 2:30 pm. Extremely poor customer service and shame on the management for allowing this. read more

Was in town for a conference. Walked here on a Sunday. The brunch looked great; the ambiance was warm and cheerful. Didn't order the brunch - Cuban sandwich. Food was excellent. The service was prompt. read more

City Tap is everything you need. Massive tap list and really good food. I had the curried chicken bowl which was fabulous. The taps are obscure local/regional brewed only found here. Place was packed when I was there during Bruin playoff hockey but got a seat at the bar and bartenders were rocking but attentive. Ambience feels like a cool upscale sportsy bar with a really nice upscale bar menu. Definitely a cool place to hang if you're a beer lover. read more

Came here on a Thursday night for dinner. It was pretty crowded but also around happy hour so it makes sense. We were able to be seated pretty quickly so it worked out okay. The food was delicious. The highlight of dinner was definitely the Nashville cauliflower. The pizza was also delicious. A total hit overall!! read more

Great spot if you're looking for a casual lunch spot in the area. I got the caesar salad with salad (extra $$). The salad was crunchy and refreshing and salmon was well cooked. Space is large and service was good. read more

i come here often- reception staff is consistently rude. service is pretty medicore as well. that being said the redeeming qualities: food is good, broad tap list. read more

I've been back quite a few times and the food is not what it used to be. On my last visit we had the corn dip & gluten free pizza. Both were oily and we wouldn't order either item again. The patio is still great and I'm looking forward to coming by this summer! read more

This is the kind of place you can go with a family and you just got off a plane and want to please everyone. Unfortunately the service was unfriendly and every table had at least one mistake with their order including ours. I think at the end you'll just feel sad you came here. Ambiance is fine. Food was fine. You can do better! read more

Cute place and the service was great. Had the Nashville cauliflower and it was incredible. I ordered the meatloaf burger and it was not for me. The mustard they served on the side was great, but I didn't care for the rest... wasn't bad, just not my favorite. The beignets were so good though!! Get those for sure! read more

When we walked in and the Grinch was in the house for Saturday brunch, I knew we were in for...something. When I ordered a mimosa and it was in a big glass (yay) full of ice (nay), I wondered what we got ourselves into. I will say, if you have kids and/or you're with a group that's ready to brunch hard and listen to DJ music at a louder than conversational volume without worrying how long it takes to get food or a drink for brunch, this is your spot. The DJ WAS playing good music. Yes, that's a little odd both of those party types were appropriate, and maybe it was due to the grinch's appearance but it was interesting to say the least. To be fair, when I asked, they did provide the next mimosa in a big glass without ice and the wait staff was perfectly nice, just not in too much of a hurry. Definitely a busy spot, and seemingly enjoyable to most of the folks there (it was nearly full inside by the time we left), just not really what we were looking for at that hour of the morning when we showed up to visit and have a drink with our friends. read more

Had a good time here and wasn't too busy considering it was a Friday night. The food was good, but quite pricey. We also had a couple of drinks that were all really good. Our server was also amazing and super attentive the entire time. I would definitely come back for their drinks! They also had a DJ setting up on Friday nights. read more

I stumbled across City Tap House during a recent visit to Boston. I was on the hunt for a place that had a basic enough menu because I wanted a burger or something that simple. I visited a little before what I assume is their lunch rush so the restaurant wasn't that busy. The inside of the restaurant is massive and can easily accommodate a variety of party sizes. They have a ton of booths so that is a plus to me. My party was quickly seated and the hostess was friendly. The service once my party was seated was extremely slow for the restaurant not to be packed but our waitress was really friendly. Once the order was placed I barely saw the waitress to the point that we had to visit the hostess to trigger the check coming to the table. I ended up ordering the pork nachos and it must be an art to make something that is so simple flavorless. I kid you not the pork didn't taste like anything and the creamy cheese was not tasty. I normally love nachos because they are simple but I couldn't even finish a quarter of the dish. I ended up going to Shake Shack after my visit because I was still hungry. I was disappointed with my visit and it felt like a waste of hungry especially since the nachos are above $16. They do have a nice beer menu if you are looking for a place to grab a drink but not really eat. read more

We had to wait about 7-10 for the server to come. When he took our order, the food came in fast and it was quite tasty. We got the black angusbtap burger and the Margherita pizza. The pizza was thin, and it was okay. The burger was amazing! And the fries were quite good as well. They offer a wide range of beers. We had a nice dinner. The ambience was pretty good, kind of a relaxing bar. read more

Located in the seaport area, this is a great casual place to share a meal or have drinks with large groups. Fairly broad range of menu items from salads to burgers, poke bowls to tuna tacos- there's bound to be something for everyone. Food is good too- beef burgers are hefty and juicy. Tuna taco app was daintier but delicious, and the roasted Brussels sprouts are my favorite. Service is quick and efficient. read more

On vacations we needed some lunch after landing , and this popped up as a nearby option. I expected some standard bar food and was surprised with some amazing options. We started off with some Nashville hot cauliflower which had the perfect level of heat on them. For my main meal I had the spicy shrimp tacos. They were filling, and the pineapple glaze was a great compliment to the spice on the shrimp. The shells were both soft and crisp. The beer menu also did not disappoint. There were a lot of options but I ended up getting the Golden Monkey Belgian Triple Lastly, our server Adele was amazing. You could see she was busy during lunch hour, but was on top of beverages, checking in on us and had a fantastic personality. read more

I can definitely see myself returning here. This place has a wide variety of beers on tap and an extensive adult beverage list. While I didn't drink, I look forward to returning and taking on some beer at the bar. We popping in here for date night dinner before a concert close by. The atmosphere was great as well as the service. Our server disappeared for a bit, but it made sense because the place began to get packed. Highly suggest reservations to secure your table. The food was good. We enjoyed dishes from the appetizer section. The cauliflower was great! Good crunch and great spice. Highly recommend. The mussels were good, fries are always on point. I was a bit disappointed by the crab and corn hush puppies, I expected more flavor and it seems like they relied on the sauce for flavor rather than infusing it into the batter. Looking forward to trying some new items, especially dessert. read more

Pretty good brunch! The service was fast and friendly, and the outdoor seating had ample shade! I enjoyed the breakfast quesadilla but felt like it could have benefited from a side of home fries for a little something extra. The shrimp and grits had excellent flavor but unfortunately the eggs were overcooked, more of an over hard than an over easy. read more

First, this place is an awesome little tap house. Ample indoor and outdoor seating, a ton of good brews on tap, and a really trendy atmosphere. Exposed duct work for that industrial vibe we all know and love. Street parking seemed a bit challenging but I also don't know the area, so I went with the Stillings Parking garage around the corner which was super convenient. Food: The Nashville Hot Cauliflower - fantastic. The size of the cauliflower and overall portion make it a great value. The house sauce and perfect cooked texture are *chef kiss* as the kids say. Nice zing so you know there's heat but not too much although all palates are differen Spicy Shrimp Tacos - delicious! I wasn't in a rice and beans mood so swapped for their house fries which had a nice crisp and beautiful seasoning. The tacos were a perfect blend of sweet with a bit of heat. The pineapple came out ever so slight which helped make the taste really refreshing and the shrimp was well seasoned and the right size. Pricing: Most of the key menu items fall between $12-17 which is a great value for the quality. Adele was our server (hope I spelled correct) and was amazing!!!! She was so friendly and upbeat. I hope all my encounters on this first trip to Boston are as pleasant as hers! read more

Came here for dinner with a colleague ( place was packed ). Classic sports bar Boston style with plenty of beers on tap - very lively . I ordered the burger with fries and my colleague the salmon. Service was pretty good . Unfortunately , my burger arrived cold and the fries a bit soggy but my guest raved about his Salmon . If my burger was hot , it would have been good but seemed like it was sitting for a while . Maybe next time .... read more

Just arrived into Boston and thought to check out City Tap House, a place of many, many brews. Come for the beer & spirits, but do not expect too much with appetizers. The pizza was barely warm and soggy. The nachos with pulled pork tasted great but better if they were hot. Again, barely warm. Soggy. We left the left overs. Disappointing. The server was nice but I found her texting, which may account why our food was soggy... the food likely sat in the pass-through window until she finished. read more

Service was terrible. Crazy long wait for fries, was told that it was due to the bar... manager apologized to every table except ours. Table of 6 was sat after us, somehow got their drinks and appetizers, but we could even put in for drinks... overall terrible place read more

Nice spacious indoor and outdoor seating. They said they are fully booked on a Saturday evening but there were some empty seatings outdoor when we walked in so worth a shot to RSVP in person. We didn't have to wait long, so that was nice. The food was okay, typical pub food, pizza, nachos etc, service was great. read more
