I saw the good reviews and decided to pop in. I got the vegetarian burger, though they are not typically good in a pub. This one was excellent. The patty was good (bean based), but the toppings like the cucumber were also fresh. It had just enough dressing on it, too. I really wanted the tater tots, but the server thoughtfully told me they have meat in them. Obviously, I'm vegetarian ordering the veggie patty in a bar. I feel like most people wouldn't care enough to even mention it. I ordered the onion rings instead. There were tons. I am a bigger fan of the large white onion rings. They use red onions, and they're more like onion strings that happen to be in a circle :) Regardless, they were good. I would come back. read more

Amazingly good food and great service. Definitely a local bar. I think we found it while in the area by looking for "Dive bars." We were very pleasantly surprised by the food. Try to sit at the high top in front of the kitchen window to watch the magic in the kitchen! Bartender was awesome too (so sorry we forgot his name! It was on a Sunday afternoon.) read more

I like what they're doing here and I'm amazed at the transformation of this place from when I used to live in Eastie and it was Jimmy Mags and then the Victory pub. The times they are a-changin! Had lunch here and it was solid. Salad, sandwiches and fries. Nice pubby, dark atmosphere. Keep up the good work! read more

Food was good no complaints on the drink but the bartender not only charged 4 drinks more then we ordered but tried to embarrass us in-front of the whole bar until we gave him the receipts then he tried to back track after being extremely rude. He only apologized by whispering to our buddy when he went and paid the real tap. read more

Recently moved back to Eastie and discovered this place almost by accident! Came in on a Sunday after a long bike ride, and their beer selection was just what the doctor ordered! But really, the food is a selling point here - both the Renegade Burger and the onion rings were first rate. You'll never starve in East Boston, and the food scene is very competitive. So what's nice about the Renegade is their total lack of pretentiousness. Good food, fine beer selection, and friendly service. I'll definitely be back! read more

I really want to give this place more then 3 stars because I really enjoy their burgers, their beer and bourbon selection. The location is great and the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. Things I recommend: Sesame ginger wings - so damn good Renegade burger Shroom burger - I love mushrooms Fried chicken - try this, thank me later The things that keeps me from rating this place higher, is the service. I consider myself a regular since I go at least twice a month with my girlfriend. We both enjoy burgers and bourbon. Every since we started coming here the service is slow, the employees are always talking among themselves on the corner of the bar and ignoring clients. I'm a reasonable person but I shouldn't have to chase the wait staff to order or to even pay. This has happened a couple times, I understand when the place is packed. However, it has happened when there are no more than 7 patrons at the restaurant. Seems like the wait staff gives priority to individuals they know. I noticed the service to us has improved over time as they recognizes us. It shouldn't be that way. Great food, atmosphere, drinks but this place seriously needs to improve their service. read more

Stuck in a hotel near Logan? Definitely go here. Good bar food, locals, and nice folks.

We were staying at a Courtyard Marriott near the airport and was looking for someplace casual to drink a beer and get a bite to eat. This place was highly ranked on Yelp so we thought we would give it a try. The second we walked it, we knew it would be good. The menu is small but it is cooked to perfection. We started off with pork rinds and fried pickles and they were so good! The pork rinds were still crackling when the server brought them out. There was a great selection of beer and ciders. For our lunch my husband and I both got burgers. These did not disappoint. If you are looking for a hidden gem and with great service and food you need to visit. read more

This thing is a work of art. I've been coming here since the place opened and I couldn't not share this burger I had recently . The entire menu is amazing, it's one of the top 3 burger joint in the city and its not 2 or 3. Boston Burger Company who? read more

Stopped in for a quick burger and beer(s). Quality service even with a packed bar and only the bartender on duty. Would definitely go back.

I love the vibes it reminds me the old town school bar or hometown local bar. It's cozy, bartenders are nice and friendly. Love the drafts and drinks options. Only thing I think need to be improved is the food. It's a decent hangover or drinking food, but I'm not sure why my stomach was very upset when I'm home. However, I might give them a try again. After all, it's a very good bar! read more

I absolutely love this place for a little neighborhood bar. The food is outstanding every single time. They've been making some changes lately though that have dropped down their score from me as well as their bartenders are very inconsistent. The guy who has been working lately has been very attentive and customer focused though which is nice. The bacon change on the Engine 56 fries is sad. Went from thick chunks to paper thin slices. This place bills itself as kind of a whiskey bar, but their bartenders can't make the basics without any consistency. They don't even make their listed cocktails on the menu correctly. NO ONE and I mean no one wants soda water in their Old Fashioned. Having a legit bartending class for the staff where they're taught to make the basic whiskey cocktails would go a really long way here. I know it sounds like I'm bitching, but I really do love this place. Great good, great beer selection, they've been great during COVID. Only downside is food prices have risen since opening (I get it, I truly do), but raising the prices and lowering the quality (The bacon!) shouldn't go together and their cocktail program could be a real cocktail program and not be dependent on who is working that night. Maybe this working class neighborhood doesn't want a good cocktail most nights, but a lot of people do. read more

I can start by saying, it'll do. The night I arrived there were 2 employees A bar keep, and a cook. The bar was full, she was in the weeds. The cook was leaning on the counter watching the room, his end looked under control. We had a round of bottled beer, corona and down east An order of wings (far and away highest priced wings in the city) $1.60/ea and were only average in size and taste. This is a burger bar at its core. I won't be a burger snob and criticize a basic burger. There wasn't anything extraordinary or disappointing about these fairly simple burgers. The burgers were fine, the drinks were fine, and the appetizers was pricy, but fine. If the burgers were bigger, heavier, more unique I'd pay more happily, If the drinks were a bit cheaper, I'd have stayed for 3, If the wings were a better value I'd stop more often and repeat the order often. As a local, I couldn't afford to unseat my other stable of go-to burger joints. This restaurant is new, I'm sure they're well within the adjustment period. I'll be back for a follow up. read more

Cozy atmosphere. Phenomenal bourbon selection. Sadly realized this after ordering a dirty gin martini; which was made perfectly. Not a total loss. Had the Reuben on gluten free bun with sweet potato fries. Delicious! Food was ready quickly. Bartender was the only wait staff I saw and she did an AWESOME job. Prices are fair for the portions. Highly recommend. East Boston Gem! read more

I this a departure from my first review. I must admit the food was still good portions are small for prices. My biggest complaint is service! Todays bartender was more interest in speaking with his friend and giving them free shots at the bar than providing service. The first two times I was here it was a female today was a male. He was over the top rude and asking him a question about the food or beer caused home trouble, his attitude was like fuck off if you don't know already. So sad because really a great neighborhood place or at least I thought so before. read more

Barman super rude, serves their friends sitting at the bar before making your drink when you've ordered 10 mins before that, no interest in other customers. Our food was left sitting on the window for ages, you could see the chef in the kitchen was frustrated at that! Unfriendly, more like a spot that someone owns for their friends to hang out in, don't care about other customers read more

Great little bar in E. Boston/Winthrop!! We drive by here all the time and always talk about stopping in. We finally did and I loved it. They didn't have a huge tap list, maybe 12 beers, bu it was solid and offered a good variety. They also have a good bourbon selection. Our bartender, Hannah, was really friendly and knowledge. She knew her beers and bourbons. She provided several good recommendations. The food looked really good. My friend ordered the pork cracklins and loved them. They come out hot and still popping. I can't wait to go back. If I could give 4.5 I would. ************************************* I really liked this place as you can tell from my initial review. I wish there was a way to post a second review instead of just updating. Anyway.... I had a chance to come back and was excited. I tried to order a Bulleit Bourbon and was told they don't carry it. I asked for a list and was told that they rotate their bourbons and therefore don't have a list. Funny! They also rotate their beers and have a list on the wall. I explained that I couldn't really read the bottles. The print isn't that big and so I think that's reasonable. The bartender didn't offer to make any recommendations so I just went with Makers. For my next drink I tried to order a double and she simply respond, "Single". OK then!! I'm hanging out and all of a sudden the bartender cranks up the music. The place is small and all the table and seats at the bar were full. The music could be heard just fine even over the buzz of the people. I'm not sure why you would turn up the music. What's funny about this move is that the couple next to me at the bar had ordered a salad and a chicken sandwich. They were delivered a salad and two chicken sandwiches. They were right in front of the bartender and she didn't get it right and this was before she turned up the music. As you would expect nobody could hear each other because of the music so everyone is talking louder aka yelling. I know they have good burgers. I ordered the Ladder 21. A burger with chipotle aoli, fried jalapeños, pepper jack, avocado, and Cajun seasoning with a side of onion rings. I love onion rings. I was looking forward to them. Guess what? She didn't hear me apparently and I got fries instead. I was let down. Turn down the music!! The bartender comes back about a minute later and asks how my burger is. I clearly hadn't taken a bite and she clearly didn't care because as soon as the question left her mouth she started talking to the people behind me. It really goes to show the difference a good bartender makes and I think the reviews from my two visits show that. This bartender, Katie, I believe, couldn't care less, especially if you weren't a regular. This visit was on 1/10/2020. I'll come back, but if I see this bartender and it's busy I'll likely leave. P.S. Then there's a twist. The bartender never took my card and didn't know what I ordered. I had to recap my night for her and for some reason she decided to comp a drink. It's a nice gesture yet unwarranted. Should it impact my review? That's your call. read more

When someone goes out to grab a burger they usually don't usually think their night will end in a trip to the emergency room for a tetanus shot, 3 inch gash on the back of their heel, and their shoes being destroyed by pools of blood streaming from an open wound. However, this is what waited for me when I visited the Renegade Pub. I didn't get to taste the food because upon entering the door slammed into the back of my heel with such violent force I fell to the ground. It didn't even give me enough time to walk through it. When I looked up a patron was helping me and I had blood covering my hands. The bartender and waitstaff did nothing to help and didn't even acknowledge me as I stood there bleeding until advised to do so by a patron who also exclaimed that the door had done something similar to her. This is serious safety issue. Your door is broken. But, worst of all was the service. The bartender wouldn't have helped unless prodded by a patron. He eventually gave me some bandaids. I asked that the they post a sign on the door to please alert visitors so that someone doesn't get similarly hurt. He promised he would. They didn't. I live right up the street. No sign. This place is disgusting and I have serious issue with the upkeep and general cleansliness. There was bloody napkins, blood on the floor, and blood on the table that people eat off of and I told him they need to clean it as I left to take myself to the hospital. The bartender just shrugged his shoulders. The owner called me this afternoon and informed me the injury was my fault. The door was not broken because it was windy. Not true. Not windy last night. Even if it was, it still doesn't account for the fact that you're okay with having a jagged piece of metal jutting out of the door or human dna fluid all over table tops and floors without properly cleaning it. Please do not go to this restaurant. read more

What a great spot all around. Cool, casual atmosphere, great food, awesome beer selection, and super friendly staff. We live right down the street and over the past year or so we've probably had more ladder 21 and veggie burgers than is considered acceptable...It's well worth it. :) the fries are great and I'm not sure exactly what is in renegade sauce but it's addicting. If you're in the area, or just looking for a great, well priced bite around town, this is the spot for you. read more

Great local spot with a yummy burger. The staff was friendly and helpful I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Visiting from LA, awesome place with good eat and drink. Renegade burger was excellent, tots quite unique, prompt and kind service.

What a great little bar!! I come to Boston often for work, and stay right down the road, this place is very close to the "T" so I always stop in for a drink coming and going. DO NOT JUDGE this place by it's size until you have tried it. Yes it's a great place to go and get a drink with the locals, the atmosphere is everything I envisioned a Boston bar to be ... but once you have at least tried one of their burgers you will understand. The Bennington Burger is off the hook!! (See picture) I can't wait to go back to Boston so I can stop in again! read more

As someone who lives only 5 minutes from this place, I am so glad that it is here. The prices for the burgers are unbeatable and the section is big enough where you don't feel like you have to get the same thing all the time. I tried the Engine 56 fries and they were decent but I also didn't realize it came with jalapenos but still, the Renegades sauce made it worth it. The Pork Lollipops are a perfect snack to pair with a burger and they have Downeast Cider to drink. Renegades not going to win an award for the best burger but they will, for sure, give a solid burger at a great price. Perfect corner bar to watch the game on a Sunday afternoon. read more

First off, thank you for joining the Eastie neighborhood!!! Second, the beer list is awesome! Great local beers both on draft and can/bottle. So far I have only had the Panko chicken appetizer with honey barbecue sauce and it was delicious! I highly recommend this place!!!! Also had the Renegade Burger. I wanted another one half way through the first! read more

What a great spot. Every time we drive down from Maine for an early flight out of Logan the next morning, we drop in for beers and a burger the night before. The beer list is great and the burgers are terrific. Always a happy place, bartenders, servers are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended. read more

Great pub with good food and friendly service. Prices are fair and the atmosphere is friendly.

It's great. The burgers are underrated. The beer list is top notch. You wanna experience peak NE breweing, this is the place. Everything on the menu is good. I think the renegade burger is too sweet, maybe avoid that, but all the sides kick ass. I've got a weak stomach, so avoid the tater tots (chorizo) if you're like me... super tasty tho. Hog wings/pork lollipops fucking rule. read more

Fantastic burgers, fries, and onion rings. We were a leery at first, due to a very relaxed environment. But service was friendly and food was great. I had the bandit burger my wife had mushroom burger. Fresh and tasty. read more

Great local simple pub. It looks like a local favorite. The board has a good variety of brews on tap. most beer lovers will find a good choice. Katie keeps an eye on her tables and the bar. 10 or so seats at the bar and seating for about 20 or so at tables. Cozy but fun. Typical pub fair, burgers etc. The ladder 21 burger with the quick fried jalapeños was very good, and the blue burger lived up to its name. We might suggest toasting the burger buns that always kicks things up a notch. Do not pass up the onion rings, a shared order is plenty big and worth the minor uplift. Nothing fancy just great beer, great food and a real local pub atmosphere. Worth the stop and return visit. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into Renegade's Pub. It's sort of like a craft beer gastropub meets dive bar- and I mean that in the best way possible. It's a small place with maybe 6 tables and a decent sized bar. There are also three huge TVs which had two football games on while we were there. The draft list is extensive and has a ton of local offerings. Most of the list is from MA, NH, CT, and NY which is nice to see. They also have a huge selection of burgers. I tried the Ladder 21 burger which was served with cheese, lettuce, chipotle aioli, and fried jalapeños. Nice and spicy without being overwhelming. Sides are a la carte, with fries costing an extra $2. The fries were great. My husband tried the onion straws and those were really good too! Renegade's is a great place to grab a quick burger- we'll be back for sure. read more

Staying at the Marriott down the street. We were starving and the hotel restaurant wasn't open yet so we wandered around and found this pub! Super happy we did, the beer selection is awesome and the food was great! The fried pickles were not over breaded (as many places tend to do). The Ruben sandwich was crispy, melty and delicious! My fiancée had the fried chicken sandwich which was just as tasty. The chicken pounded thin (like it should be on a sandwich) and topped with fried onions pickles, fried jalapeños and a very tasty garlic aioli. Woul definitely recommend if you are staying by Logan and are looking for some great food and beers! The bartender Mick was also very hospitable and friendly!! Check this place out! read more

Found this on a whim. Great atmosphere, only 1 bartender so I felt kinda bad as he was hustling the bar and tables. But other than that. The food kicked butt, gotta try a 33oz Narragansett and 56 fries. Great music. Would go back for a chill spot. read more

Great neighborhood spot, Katie is the bomb! Obsessed with their little burgers and the garlic sauce with the fries.

Bartenders needs too work on social skills , maybe less drinking behind the bar , food is okay

If you are in the area you absolutely must stop here! We were staying nearby flying in/out of Logan looking for food at 10:45pm on a Monday (which is late here). This place has great drinks, super friendly service and delicious food! We had the chicken sandwich and steak and cheese with onion rings; both were absolutely amazing! I know what you are thinking chicken sandwich eh, but this was hands down the best chicken sandwich I've ever had- perfectly toasted brioche bun, Renegade sauce (5 stars on that alone), red onion, pickles and perfectly melted cheese. This sandwich had more attention to detail than ones three times the price. The steak and cheese was fantastic with a soft warm roll, tender ribeye, mushrooms, onions and peppers. read more
