So this is the latest incarnation of a small chain of bars that also offer pub grub. The menu includes the usual assortment of appetizers, handhelds, and maybe four or five mains. The main courses are predictable, as are the sandwiches and appetizers. I think I am of the minority opinion that this place is mediocre, because it always seems crazy busy. On the plus side, they have a very nice patio. Another positive, they have 90% less televisions (that nobody seems to watch) than their dystopian nightmare Lucy's sibling a mile away. You could do worse. But then, you could do better. read more

The food is pretty decent. I wish the menu had more of a variety. I haven't had any issues with the service. I sat a the bar one time and the bartender was super nice. There is a kind of rustic feel in the space could use a bit more lighting to accommodate the dark interior. Overall I've had good experiences here. I have to go back soon. read more

Great local restaurant. We especially love it in the warm (but not hot) weather when we can eat outside in the lovely backyard setting. Food is great and reasonably priced. Lots of gluten free options . Wonderful service! read more

This place is awesome I got this mango en puego(Spicy Goodness w/a Chili sugar rim yum. The spinach dip w naan or thick pita was baked to perfection so cheesy good. The hot bird was messy goodness the fried chicken, coleslaw, pickles, and sauce all come together in a soft potato roll make all the flavors pop and make a delicious lunch. Can't forget the potato tots these aren't your frozen section wannabees this is the real deal soft, nice size, crunchy and chewy in every bite who needs fries. Really cool local hidden gem in the lower mills of Dorchester. read more

Awesome menu! Loved the fish tacos and the kale Brussels salad! The drinks were good and service was awesome! Loved the patio area and a great little vibe. Will be back! My fiancé got the Shepard's pie and the onion soup and loved both! read more

The brunch here is sooo good! I got the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. The brioche bun was the best I've ever had! I was so happy we got the mimosa tower. It wasn't that expensive but it was AMAZING and worth it. Our waitress was so attentive and nice! read more

Ryan was the best server I've ever had. She was so sweet and was so helpful with food/drink suggestions. Made this the best experience ever. I suggest sitting outside and getting the crab Rangoon dip!!!!! read more

I love the backyard vibes on this restaurant. Drinks are really nice as well. It was a friendly environment, like home-y vibes. A must go if you haven't. read more

I came for the gluten free options but absolutely fell in love with the outdoor patio!!! Such a fun and festive environment with amazing staff. The nachos were good, average and the Cobb salad was good. They don't have a lot of hardy meat and potatoes options for gluten free people and should given the amount of Irish ascents around the patio. Deep Irish brogues!! The atmosphere carries the overall rating and who is not wishing the escape from covid! Plus on an impromptu Sunday to be able to get together outside got them this four star rating. read more

My boyfriend and I love taking friends here for brunch! My favorite is the crab Rangoon dip and lobster eggs Benedict. It's a pretty spacious place with TVs and outdoor area. Highly recommend! Oh and they decorate really cute for the holidays too :) read more

My favorite spot hands down. Their menu is not big but has the perfect dishes. You have to have the crab Rangoon dip. Everything is good on the menu other than the shrimp popcorn... yuck! I'm an app girl so before I order the entire menu I will order everything on the app menu. Make reservations for the patio and enjoy the music, the atmosphere and the food. Drinks is also yummy yummy! The Mule drink is the best! read more

Food and drinks were awesome! Definitely recommend the crab Rangoon dip, rigatoni fredo (and I never order Alfredo dishes), and Baja chicken sandwich! Blueberry cider was awesome too!! read more

My husband and I booked a yurt on a whim for a Monday lunch. It was $100 but this goes towards a food and drink credit so dining in the yurt is free. We had SO much fun! The yurt was very warm and spacious with seating for 8. It was just us so the space was unnecessary, but still felt cosy and pleasant for two. The food and drinks were incredible. Get the salmon tartare! Shockingly good for an American-ish pub. My only complaint is that they have a 3 martini limit (although the waitress was kind enough to encourage me to order "literally anything else!"). We can't wait to go back with friends and family! read more

This place is just awesome. I sat at the bar and got popcorn shrimp for an appetizer, then I got Bolognese and the Rigatoni Fredo to go. (Don't judge me it's been a long year)! The food was just..well it's what we've all been looking for throughout lockdown. Just so good...even to-go. Bartenders were amazing. I didn't actually get their names because they were so attentive I never needed to call them over. They were quick with jokes and suggestions. These are such valuable things that we forgot about while Quarantining! Also, I called prior, and asked if there was bar service, and I explained that I would be by myself. The hostess was so incredibly sweet and told me how their bar, was the closet to "normal" that you could get, while taking Covid procedures seriously. Honestly, it was a great experience and I would recommend Bowery to anyone! Enjoy!! read more

The staff at this place was so welcoming and kind it's an oasis in a wasteland of understaffed and under trained restaurants. We did a birthday celebration in the yurts they have in back which were so cool. I wish I lived closer because we would definitely go here much more often. The food was delicious but the quality of the service really made the experience stand out. read more

I am constantly finding myself coming back to the Bowery. It is the perfect vibe for a Chill week day outing. Service has always been great. I love exploring the menu here. Recently had the steak with potatoes and asparagus, excellent right away and the next day for leftover lunch! read more

Can I just say that the space in amd outside of the Bowery is wonderfully spacious and inviting. The nachos are our absolute favorite... as is with no extra protein ( though short ribs are very enticing). The prices are very reasonable, beer selection is pretty decent and the staff have been very friendly and attentive. I only have 1 special request and it is the reason for 1 less star... ****How about some vegan options?? Sure someone can piece meal some fries and a salad if desperate, but I promise that having a veggie burger or a grain bowl with some seasonal vegetables and an amazing sauce would round out your menu and vegans could come and enjoy your restaurant too*** My husband is vegan and he never wants to come with us because there is no vegan option. Please! please! Please consider a vegan option!! read more

I love coming here. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming and it creates such a great vibe. The service, food and drinks (especially the espresso martinis) are always on point. I also like how they change up the menu and promote charity drinks. Bowery Bar does not disappoint. read more

Cool little vibe staff is definitely a Bunch of shady bitches idk why cause they only have like 10 items on the menu. So if you want something simple just slide to the Bowery read more

Very nice place. Service was great. All the food was great. We had the buffalo chicken nachos. I highly recommend them. Also had the fish tacos and the fish special. Everything was tasty. read more

Love this place, food is always excellent and great service. You always have a great experience here

I went to Bowery Bar in Mid-February and sat in an igloo outside. It was a lovely experience all around. The igloo had a space heater to keep it warm. We started with the Cinnamon Roll and Donut Holes and both were fantastic. I got the In Yo' Face Breakfast Sammy which comes with home fries and the entire meal was perfect. The sauce on the sandwich, arugula, runny egg, brioche bread (with a perfect toast), and crispy bacon were all cooked to perfection and paired perfectly. Others at the table got the Breakfast Tacos, Hangover Bowl, and a strawberry and Nutella pancake special. The Breakfast Tacos and pancakes were a huge crowd-pleaser, whereas the hangover bowl was good but nothing special - the hangover bowl has a spicy kick to it for sure. Overall great experience, great food, great service and cannot wait to go back! read more

Good foot and atmosphere. Sat at the bar with a friend and got excellent service from the bartender and the food was great.

This foot was EXCELLENT and so was the service. High caliber, innovative menu with fresh ingredients and top tier execution. Food came out auditor and it was delicious. We had the steak frites, the cauliflower and a few other shareables. Love the ambiance in this place. It's super cozy and clean. I would come back for sure. In fact, I will! It definitely has an English pub feel if that's what they're going - plus it's elevated a bit higher because the food is very well done. read more

This place is a Must Go to every time we are in the Boston area. Brunch or Dinner you will never go wrong with the selection of food and drinks. Service is always amazing and I recommend to everyone read more

Wouldn't go back here if my life depended on it. Go in at 3 on a Sunday to watch the bruins game. Whole side of booths are empty. Tried sitting us at a connected booth with a very uncomfortable chair with no view to the ttv for whoever was sitting in the chair. Asked for a booth was told no. They r for bigger parties. Yet I counted 8 booths open.... so instead of giving us a booth they rather lose the business. Will Never be back. Friday or Saturday I can totally understand them needing the space not Sunday at 3pm! read more

Most important: this place is deserving of a higher rating than what it sits at on Yelp. We live in the area and eat here from time to time and order out as well. Generally speaking I've found the service to be good. When it's nice there can be a wait for a table outback on the patio, during which you can grab a drink and enjoy the outdoors. I agree that the food isn't always perfectly executed, but perhaps that's the difference as we enjoy it as a tavern rather than a gastropub. Food will be decent, a few things will be great, and a handful of things are a miss. We've often brought family and friends here all of which have enjoyed it. They did a great job with renovations and the inside aesthetic is interesting - old school belted fans, Americana, and a pretty charming industrial tavern aesthetic. They also do a consistent job of decorating for the holidays. Good beer and cocktail list, and an easy place to spend a few hours eating and catching up with friends, family, and neighbors. Favorites have been their kale salad, burger, crab rangoon dip, cauliflower, wings, mac and cheese, and pasta have all been favorites of ours. Good place to bring kids too - they're very accomodating. read more

I've been to the Bowery multiple times and have loved it every visit! This past time i thought i left my wallet behind. I called and they told me they'd let me know if they found it but I ended up going back to make sure. The host was super sweet and the manager went out of his way to double check the booth I was sitting in to see if it was there. He was very kind and went the extra mile- the service overall at Bowery is what will keep me going back. On top of the great food & drink - thank you! read more

Food is amazing as always. Too bad we didn't get to finish our meal. Gotta love when it's time to order the next course and you're told, oh yeah the kitchen is closed... like maybe this is something you may want to tell us before you seat the table or when we order the first course of our meal. Also, enough with this covid crap, I'm not scanning fake menus anymore or boxing up my own food at my table. Bring back good service. The whole "I'm a pissed off and burnt out server" thing has gotten old. I was overtipping for the past year but I've had enough of it. It's time to expect good service and stop making excuses. read more

Well things got pretty expensive in the span of a few years which is disappointing, the question then becomes is it worth it? You will have to see for yourself. Anyway it's still great food but it's pricey for what you're getting. Splitting an appetizer that doesn't provide enough crostini to spread the cheese & bruschetta is just poor form. Having the appetizer cost as much as a salad is ridiculous & realizing that two people have spent $60 on two entrees & an appetizer is not something I will do again as this place doesn't warrant it. Their veg*n options are less than before which is unfortunate. Also, why don't they have their menu on here or a link to their web site? Strange. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant because it employees is welcoming from the guys too the ladies and especially their staffs and the hostesses up in the front as soon guests walk though the double doors read more

Went here on Saturday evening with my cousin that was staying in the area from out of town. The ambience was great and there wasn't a wait. It was busy but not crowded. Wait staff was attentive and not overbearing. We got a pitcher of red sangria which we could not even finish. It was good but priced right. We started with side Caesar salads which were fresh and cold with the perfect amount of dressing mixed through and plenty big. I had the seasonal short rib Shepard's pie and it was sooo delish. Saucy and tasty and not one dry thing about it (i always worry about that with Shepard's pie). My cousin chose the rigatoni fredo which was sooo good and comforting. She could not finish it. I would definitely go back as the atmosphere and quality of food was worth it. read more

This place is good. They have the best sweet potato fries. I order them crispy! The food is dependable. The secluded patio is the best in town. Great place to go in summer. I like this place for group outings. The yurts in winter for covid were awesome. Warm and cozy. Hopefully they have them again next winter read more

Okay, I am typing this from their dining room: 5 HUGE stars for their front of house staff, especially Gwenyth, who was so friendly, and attentive! She was fantastic! Five stars also for the space: the patio is huge and gorgeous, but we couldn't get a table outside due to weather but they quickly accomodated us inside. The food was very subpar, which resulted in the reduced star, but we only came to hang out, drink, and watch the Celtics and our expectations were more than exceeded. The food was secondary for us, so it was absolutely their staff that elevated the experience (again, Gwenyth, you were a gem!) read more
