There's something unsettling yet empowering about dining alone and pushing through the initial awkwardness. I was flanked on each side by two couples who engaged me with delightful conversation all sorts. The barkeeps (one British--Will, one Irish--Adam, addressed me as either 'love' or 'darlin', so I was smitten from the get-go LOL! (Will resembled a young, bearded Jimmy Fallon). The Bees Knees cocktail was delicious alongside the pork schnitzel with apple bacon slaw. Fun fact: they don't serve dessert of any kind, but they sure can make an espresso martini instead! (It was unpretentiously delicious).

My mom and I shared the poke bowl and the schnitzel…read more The schnitzel was much better than the poke. The rice in the poke didn't taste like authentic sushi rice. And the cucumbers had too much salt. But it was a generous portion so most people will like it. The schnitzel had very fresh vegetables and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. The sauce was very good so I'd tightly recommend it. Portion sizes are good. The decor was fun and the atmosphere good. Our hostess was great. What wasn't good was as our waiter. He didn't give me an extra plate when asked. And as I was finishing my meal he hovered over me waiting to take my fork and plate. Not cool as he made me feel rushed. However I would recommend this place to everyone.

Castle Island Brewery - Norwood, MA (Beer & Staff)…read more (Atmosphere) Great Beer Selection Castle Island delivers on what matters most: the beer. From crisp lagers to bold IPAs, the selection is solid, flavorful, and well-crafted. Whether you're a hop head or just looking for something smooth, there's something here for every palate. Friendly Staff The team behind the bar is welcoming, knowledgeable, and quick to offer recommendations. Service is efficient and upbeat, which adds to the overall positive vibe. Kid Overload Unfortunately, the atmosphere takes a hit. At 6:00 pm 8:00, the taproom felt more like a daycare than a brewery. Tables were dominated by birthday parties and families with small children eating cupcakes. While some may appreciate the family-friendly approach, it's jarring for those expecting a classic bar experience. If you're looking for a chill adult night out, this might not be the spot--especially on weekends. Final Thoughts Castle Island has the bones of a great brewery: excellent beer and great staff. But the overwhelming presence of kids makes it hard to relax or socialize. If they offered adult-only hours or designated family times, it could strike a better balance.

Great ambiance and food. Once they get Jamsey back on the shots it's the best bar in Hyde Park.read more

It is not easy to gain access to this place…read more I arrived here at noon on a sunday, eager to start a UYE day drinking campaign. The door was locked, and the windows were opaque. I wasn't sure if the bar was abandoned, closed, or if they were just unwilling to accept my business. Moments later, what could only be a "regular" sullenly unlocked and opened the door for me. I asked "are you open?" and got an affirmative grunt in response. Master McGrath's is actually quite spacious and clean; the bar has about 15 seats, and is well-lined with small flat-screen TVs, the better to see the Sox beat the snot out of the O's. They have an internet jukebox, and a popcorn machine for free snacking. I knew right away that I was in a bar frequented almost exclusively by regulars; the surprisingly cute female bartender was eager to prepare drinks for the customers walking *in from the back door* before they sat down. I received a fairly standard silent-treatment half hour, followed by a cautious inclusion in some casual conversation. Being a gregarious individual, I soon was laughing and chatting with the regulars, and even had one of them buy me a drink, a favor I returned later. I was not able to get a Jameson - the man who bought me the drink explained that "if there's a bottle of Jameson, I'll drink it all." Of course, I didn't know if he was a manager, owner, or regular customer, but he is apparently important enough to the management that in an Irish pub, they don't stock Jameson. The buffalo fingers are top feckin' shelf. Definitely worth ordering. Hyde Park is a neighborhood that could use some more folks making the trip down to see. Lisa, the bartender, is cute and friendly, and will chat you up about shark week. All in all, not a bad way to spend three hours on a Sunday afternoon.

There was nice decor..bookshelf with random items. There were various sports on the TVs (soccer, squash). For drinks, we got a Guinness, Downeast, Margarita, and Shirley Temple. The Shirley Temple soda was a tad flat but drinkable. My friend said her margarita was just okay. Beers were good. The server refilled my Shirley Temple without asking. Two thumbs up! We ordered three pizzas: cheese, linguica, and hot honey as well as buffalo wings. The waitress warned us that pizza can take a while to come out. We got our wings but they did not come out buffalo. They were very fried and battered. Maybe a bit too fried as they were dark. I asked the server for buffalo sauce on the side. The wings tasted fine, nothing spectacular. I didn't mind having the sauce on the side either. The pizzas did take a while to come out. Each pizza was about ~10-12" wide (personal size). Bar pizza. My husband loved the pizza. I thought it was just okay. There was no cheese pull. The cheese didn't taste cheesy? ll. The crust was thick and doughy. No tomato sauce. It needed some salt and seasoning. My husband and friends liked the hot honey. The linguica was good, tasted like hot dog. Overall, my experience was fine. Not sure if I would come back though. If I did, it would be to try the other menu items.
