We have been visiting the Pinehurst Tavern in Billerica, for many many weeks after church services in Winchester. I ordered the Ruban on Rye, with fries, and a lot of pickles with two Diet Coke sodas. I really enjoy getting a lot of pickles with my order and I request them every time. It just seems that I never can get enough of the pickles, but that's just me. My wife, Joan, decided to get a turkey BLT with fries, and two margaritas. That's pretty much her usual order. She always asks for pickles too, which she generously donates to me. The staff is very kind and seems to know our orders well, especially my requests for extra pickles. It never seems to be very busy outside of major sporting events. Overall, they serve great bar food and we will continue to visit as long as we do not have another event planned on the same day and time. Ambience is very casual, just a straight forward local restaurant and bar. read more

The Pinehurst Tavern kitchen was open until 10:00 pm which was great for my 8:50 pm Saturday evening arrival thinking I had ten minutes to order. Friday night band rocked out the 80's (a little loud but great band and my ears adjusted). I ordered the special soup and a side salad to go with my dark espresso martini NOT made with the sugary stuff. The band was great and the food is consistently good here. The value is great too. read more

Great bar food menu for lunch or anytime. Bar and staff were very pleasant. Busy place, and well liked by locals. read more

Very small to dance . The food was good . If they moved some tables I would try it again .

Stopped in today to get takeout for lunch just before 12:30 pm. It was quiet, the bar was busy. It was clean. The lone server greeted me as soon as I walked in, asked me to hang on a few minutes. I had checked the menu and ordered an American Burger "Fresh handmade patty grilled to your liking and topped with melted American cheese. Served on a toasted buttery brioche bun with a side of hand-cut fries." I ordered medium rare, and asked for some siracha aioli on it. I waited a bit then headed home to eat lunch. The good: The brioche bun was buttery. The fries were crunchy. My burger did have requested aioli on the side, and the other veggies as ordered. The bad: The bun was stale on the edges. The burger was not medium rare, it was burnt. and was dry and tiny. The bun oversized the burger. If those fries are hand cut, my name is Rumpelstiltskin. They were covered with a ton of pepper. Maybe they were frozen "hand cut style" fries. Cmon, at least be honest on your menu. The hand cut fries and the details in the menu were why I came. My advice - move on- there are better burgers and fries in the area. $17 of disappointment to feed the trash can. read more

Pinehurst Tavern - Can't beat a good live band to increase the fun quotient... - Sports Bars Near Me - Billerica, Massachusetts

We had dinner while listening to live music tonight. The atmosphere has been updated and the space looks refreshed and modern. The mac and cheese with Ritz crumbs was enormous and delicious. Everything came out hot and freshly prepared. Appetizers were served when they should have been, which is always the best. Service was fantastic, friendly, and fun. The shining dish of the night were the chicken tenders. Clearly battered here on premises, they were just the right amount of seasoning and fried to perfection. We will absolutely be returning soon! read more

Just wanted to make sure everybody is aware that there is new ownership in the kitchen and new ownership in the bar, but they are two separate entities. The bar is Pinehurst Tavern in the kitchen is known as Tavern Bites thank you come visit. read more

This place is pretty gross. They don't honor their own promotions. The pulled pork flatbread was recommended by my server, but it was incredibly dry and the onion strings were soggy. They've made claims to customers they do not have any freezers in the kitchen, which is most likely a bold-face lie unless they're storing their food elsewhere (NOT GOOD). They also claim to have the "freshest food" in Billerica, which is merely marketing speak. The premises wreak of moth balls. This restaurant lacks strategic guidance, an identity, and it was poorly executed. Bring your appetite elsewhere. read more

Ordered potato skins and chicken wings and they were very good. Also ordered a Reuben Sandwich and it was pretty bad! Over half the meat was impossible to even bite into. Just fat and grizzle. Very disappointed! The rest of the ingredients were quite tasty but the meat was impossible. Served with potato fries that were just fine. The waitress was friendly and accomondating but overall because of that awful slab of meat had to give it an overall 3. read more

When it comes to Billerica, there are a ton of Bars and Taverns to choose from. Royal Tavern stands alone in my opinion. It has a smaller less overwhelming bar unlike some places, with plenty of seating on the restarant side. Ive ate here now a hand full of times and everything I've had was perfect. From the flatbreads, to the burgers and the potato skins to the lobster salad special I had the other day. I was always satisfied. If you get a seat at the bar, I hope your lucky enough to have Rohan as your bartender. The guy is a wizard when it comes to making drinks! Not to mention hes extremely down to earth and makes you fell welcomed everytime you come in. I'd recommend the espresso martini. Best martini I've ever had. (And ive had alot lol) I feel like this place is very underrated and people need to come here and need to try something different other then (Pizza Mia) (Newtown) (Emerald Rose) just to name a few. People dont like change, it's in our nature. I highly recommend this place, you wont be disappointed. read more

Probably the worst restaurant in Billerica. If it wasn't for JA the place would be bankrupt

Good food at a good price. Service was great! Just a nice, clean, fun, local bar , also good drink prices.

Great establishment. Food and drinks are great. Very friendly bartenders and waitstaff.

Going to just list my experience in order of how it played out. I'll say, this was my first visit. Patrons were smoking out front. Yuck. Bar area looked decent, but small. Dining area was smallish, but spaced out well. It looked more like a man cave than a restaurant. Place was clean. Menu was laying on my plate and silverware when I got to the table. That is nasty!! Menu was small, but that's ok. Also had a few typos. That's always a head scratcher and a red flag of sorts. Straws came unwrapped in our drinks. Not only unsanitary, but I believe it's a code violation. Iced tea was awful. Nachos were pretty good. Better than average. Only issue is, the were stale. Kids seemed to like the chicken fingers. My wife said her steak tips were ok. My black bean burger was decent, but there was too much bun vs burger. Roasted(?) brussel sprouts were not great. They were oily and seemed boiled. Service was ok. The lady with all the tattoos was cool and friendly. That's all I got for you. read more

Awesome place... nice food and better service... they have a good selection of drinks and beer... Ordered wings which were nice and fresh amazing choice of sauce (did not click pics) The loaded chicken nachos were out of this world... must try the food and drinks here read more

I just had to write a review for Hanley's Pinehurst Tavern! I was there last Saturday night with a friends. Kudos to the Server!. My Frozen Daiquiri was one of the best, so I had another!! Whipped cream and all!! What a treat! The Reuben Sandwich and fries were excellent! My friend ordered a few apps...equally excellent!! Soooo tasty! The Tavern itself was very clean and tidy. The Ladies room...VERY clean and I was told the Mens room was as well. From the time we entered the tavern, we felt comfortable and well taken care of. Parking was easy right on the site. Now....the entertainment....EXCELLENT!! The musical artist Last Saturday 7/15, was "Jermaine" he is a feel good guy with a huge smile and an incredible voice and talent, who made you so glad you were there!! He is SO TALENTED from the time we entered til we went home His Reggae music was AWESOME. NO ONE could stop smiling and swaying! Applauding often! All this and there were many wide screen TVs by the gorgeous bar and the surrounding rooms. So, if you're around to enjoy a wide variety of entertainment nightly, HANLEY'S is a great Sports Bar. Families can enjoy this Tavern as well! Truly, I was impressed and certainly look forward to returning!! Thank you to the Management! Great Job! read more

Called to confirm it was "Taco Tuesday" and got an enthusiastic yes! Showed up to no server, bartender serving drinks only, and a disappointed kid who wanted tacos. Not the first time the service was inadequate, can't say I'll be going back. read more

Place with potential but has zero staff. Stopped in with the family on a Tuesday night and only the bartender was working. Sat down at a table and after 10 minutes of nothing found out bartender was alone and there was no table service. Won't be back anytime soon! read more

Cool new bar! Great Burgers and Seafood!! Keno and great TVs! Service was Excellent, prices reasonable. Patrons were very friendly also. Owner very friendly. read more

Took a customer for burger and beer today. I had mushroom Swiss and he had the patty melt burger. Both plates were empty. Cooked the way we asked medium rare, fries were tasty and beer was COLD. read more

We had the steak flatbread was really good and steak was marinated , wings were good but nothing special and buffalo gorgonzola cheese was yummy and it came with fries which were really good but if you like crunchy-fries you might not like these . Definitely be back . read more

Just changed to "pinehurst tavern" loving the new crew the, old crew was rude... I work in the wear houses behind, excited to see what they have to offer hopefully the service won't slip and food stays the same quality read more

Despite the parking lot being empty, I was a little apprehensive due to that reason, we stopped inside to try it anyway, glad we did, the nacho plate was huge and loaded with everything, the tacos were fresh and delicious, burgers were large and very good, the homemade fries were like boardwalk fries and the chicken wings were awesome. My only negative was that a bowl of soup was $7 for soup! Otherwise everything was good, large portions and reasonable priced, except the soup, lol. I'll go back. read more

Not going back! So many things off about this place. First, the menus are a mess. There are spacing issues, the plates don't have names just descriptions so you have to read the description to the waiter, and the menus are just inserts of paper and the order was different in all the menus. Then, the place smelled like pee. My boyfriend and I sat down and we had 3 different people come over to our table and it was very confusing about who was serving us. Also, the food was not good. We got a flatbread and the ingredients were not evenly spaced and the steak wasn't good either. I got the sriracha buffalo sandwich and the chicken was basically frozen. I bit into it and it was so hard. The chicken wasn't buffalo either, it just had a little drizzle of the sauce. I know this is a new restaurant so therefore the inside should look all nice but there was paint scratched off the wall near our booth, and the atmosphere is weird. There was a mason jar with string lights in it on our table but the lights weren't on. Overall it was just not a good experience, the food was bad, and we aren't going back. Our waiter was very nice and he was the only good thing about it. read more

don't waste your time. ecclectic menu for a "sports bar"...review the menu before you go wings were nothing special tried the "fresh" fish & chips....fishy taste, funny color, funky odor. no thanks. waitress was very pleasant, attentive and apologetic read more

I AM A FAN, of the Royal Tavern. Locally run and owned in Billerica. It competes with the other bar/grills in the area and it's off to a good start. My wife and I went there today for lunch. We were greeted by the bartender (when you walk in you're right at the bar), a waitress, and the host. They will ask if it's your first time and ask if you're local. They really want to matter and be a good option in the area. On to the food...Very Good. Not Excellent, but very...very good. My wife and I both had the tomato bisque (thick, not like smooth creamy) which was good. She had the grilled cheese (she gave it an 8 out of 10), I had the buffalo chicken flatbread. The reason I say the food is very good/not excellent is because here is where it faltered. While the taste of the flatbread was perfect, the consistency of the chicken was UN-perfect. A little too over frozen and not thawed completely through when used. It wasn't raw mind you, just not soft...ya know? I can get past it, my wife would have left it alone entirely after the first chicken bite. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE NEGATIVE. The Royal Tavern is a must visit. Give it a try. Did I mention they have Boom Sauce IPA? Oh yeah! Great alcohol selection and the bar is safely separated from the rest of the restaurant if you're bringing the kids. Speaking of kids...bring 'em! It's casual enough to be a "noisy" place to drown out the kids without having to drive to Burlington Chilis. All seating is booths. Oh, and they have a WICKED LAAHGE chess/checkers board to help pass the time. We'll be back, and maybe it'll earn that 5th star.... read more

Went over for lunch with 16 of my coworkers. We called in ahead and placed our order so when we got there, we could get our food right away but ended up waiting 15 minutes. It was not a big deal just wished it was ready when we got there. However, the food was very good. I ordered the 6oz NY steak sirloin. It came with an egg on top for only $13 . WOW $13 for steak that was very juicy and tender. It was cooked to perfection I must add. My coworker next to me ordered the Blackened Salmon. It was very juicy. It was a bit sour from the lemon for her taste but she enjoyed it. Overall, I would definitely go there again and try another item on their menu. read more

Food was pretty good (ordered the garlic bread, chicken tacos and Cuban sandwich) but the drinks were not. Husband said the beer was off and my cocktail was definitely not what I was expecting - a mai tai that more resembled a manhattan. May or may not be back. read more

Nice local sports bar. Decent beer selection, nice staff, and solid bar food. They were nice enough to put the NCAA tournament game I wanted on one of the big screens. read more

Fun local sports bar. Good food; really liked the fried chickpeas! Staff are really nice. I like the ambiance/atmosphere. Pretty good beer selection, too. Happy to have a local bar that's not a 99! read more

Food is incredible. Best cheeseburgers ever People are nice. They are transitioning. Added a beautiful bar, with phone chargers. I'm making my way through the menu love the easy atmosphere but the food is what makes us keep coming back read more

Food is just blah, menu is unorganized and when I asked for no lettuce or tomato on my burger I was told it didn't matter because it's on the side. I asked for medium rare, which for such a thin burger it was a little pink in the middle, more like medium but again it was a thin patty so it's hard to accomplish medium rare. Beer selection is mediocre. Menu doesn't leave me wanting more, we tried the Royal Tavern, but we won't be back. read more

Great place to eat. This was our first time here. We had the maple and bacon chicken wings for an appetizer which was really good. The bacon nice and crispy. Marinated steak tips on salad are fantastic!!! Chicken fingers and homemade fries are also super good. Our waitress, Diana was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Her suggestions were right on. Definitely recommend. read more
