A bustling spot filled with students, locals, and medical workers alike, this bar is a pretty decent spot right in the midst of Brigham Circle. Though it can be quite noisy and tight, especially during sporting events, the food and drink isn't bad - especially after a long day at work, making it an alright joint to hang at from time to time. Anyway, decided to go for something on the more regular side: Fish & Chips Honestly, it was pretty decent as the battered fish had a good crunch to it, along with how soft, moist and flaky the cod was. Plus, his item paired well with the Maine Lunch beer, as the crisp refreshing beer contrasts with the grease and oils of the cod and fries. Only real downsides were that the dish felt a bit on the heavy side with how dense the oil felt... along with how the cole slaw was kind of... disappointing, even for what cole slaw typically is. Regardless, would probably pop by again to give this spot another go read more

3.5 Stars. Not as good as the first visit. Returned here for a group outing. All the starters we got were solid. The steak I ordered left much to be desired though: it was cooked to medium well (instead of medium) and cut with the grain, making for tough slices of meat. Would come back for lunch over dinner read more

Good local place with a nice variety in the menu. Good, solid service with a great pub atmosphere. Came on a Friday night before the. Northeastern semester started. Pretty quiet for a Friday. We are visiting from out of town, but our son who lives here said it's a popular spot for students and hospital staff. Really nice place, and they had a couple of large TVs, so it seems like a good place to catch a game. Service was friendly, professional, and pretty quick. Food was good, not great, but sometimes that's just fine. We had some wings and the street corn tator tots. Sounded weird but they were good. I had a special salad, with apple, cranberry, Feta and chicken. Solid. Not too expensive. read more

Came for weekday lunch. I thought the food was alright, nothing special. I got the fried fish sandwich and the one piece of lettuce in there was a little wimpy. Service was also fine. Fork had some dried salad on one of the prongs, which was a little disconcerting. The biggest plus was that the space was much bigger and brighter than it appears on the outside. I hear the nachos are good and it's one of the few places to gather with coworkers in the Longwood area. read more

Burger was fantastic and apple cider beer was delicious. It was a tiny bit slow to get served initially but food came out quickly and the staff was very friendly. read more

We stopped by after work for drinks and had some nice cold beers on a hot day. They have tracked set outside on the side-walk for nice days. There is a nice vibe and ambience and you see many professionals gathering there after work. read more

Came here for brunch and had a great experience. Good food and service. I ordered avocado toast which I loved, it was the best I've gotten in this area. Others at my table ordered the eggs Benedict and the breakfast sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their food. We all especially loved the potatoes that came with their dishes, they were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Service was quick and our server was attentive. I would come back. read more

John was on point at the bar. I walked in, order and beer and a burger, and was prompt to ask me how I liked each. When I needed a refres be offered new selections each time. The bar is small, but a great corner pub. Come for the food, stay for the drinks. Enjoy the music and the great service! read more

I stopped in for a quick beer and bite. They have a good selection of beers, ales and ciders on tap. I chose the Lexington Kentucky Bourbon Ale. This was very good, but at 8.2 alcohol content I only had one. I ordered their Mission burger which is a bacon cheeseburger and fries. It could have been cooked a little less as I like my burgers medium rare. However, it wasn't dry and tasted pretty good. read more

Mission Bar & Grill has been on our list for some time, and we finally stopped in to try it out! It was very crowded at 5:30 on a Tuesday which surprised us, but it definitely boosted the moody atmosphere of the restaurant. I think the location of the restaurant keeps it busy at most times in the evening! The service was a little slower than what I prefer but they seemed a little short staffed for the evening and I can't blame them. The food was really great which made up for it!! We ordered fried pickles, steak frites and fish tacos. The servings were plentiful, the food was tasty and executed well, and the prices were appropriate! :) read more

I came to mission b&g on a Saturday for brunch. The visuals of this restaurant are gorgeous. Effectively floor to ceiling windows with light pouring through. Our server was prompt and helpful. She also was nice enough to put a wedge under our wobbly table. For a drink I had the paper plane, a well balanced sourish bourbon cocktail that went down real easy. For brunch I had the vegetarian skillet. It needed a bit of salt, but that was readily available. The home fries on the bottom were well cooked and I appreciated the adornment with two fried eggs. Overall feeling great about this place and will definitely come back. Strong recommend! read more

The food was actually pretty good but the service was the worst I've ever had. I asked for a Diet Pepsi and got a regular one, I'm a diabetic and only noticed after my blood sugar began rapidly rising. Thankfully I noticed and took extra insulin but insulin is expensive! After I got my Diet Pepsi no one apologized for the medical emergency that could've occurred and then tried to charge for the Pepsi they had given me by mistake. Worst service ever, I would never come back. read more

A solid 4 stars! Came here with a big group celebration and split a bunch of apps, including their pretzel, nachos, and hash browns. Everything was great except I thought the guac in the nachos could have been more fresh. For an entree, I got their salmon, which was the highlight of the meal for me. The flavors were perfect - lemony and fresh, over a bed of rice and spinach. Felt both healthy and delicious. Some of my friends got drinks and seemed to enjoy them. The interior of the restaurant gives off old English pub vibes - dark and broody, while at the same time relaxed and neighborhood friendly. It's a nice casual spot to relax and grab some food and drink with friends. read more

The Mission Bar & Grill - Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This being my first non fast food eats In Boston is disappointing. I ordered the mission burger and it was definitely among the worst of the 20$ burger I have had. The bun was practically stale and the ingredients just seemed cheap. The truffle fries up charge was also disappointing they just dropped a spoonful of Parmesan over one part of the fries and called it a day it was not tasty. The inside is nice and all but there was a weird smell as I walked in. Not sure what it was. The guy who gave me my order was nice though. I probably would not come back here again though. Definitely not for the burger. read more

I am on day 3 of a hunt for the best bowl of clam chowder in Boston. Today, we are at mission bar and grill and they delivered. This is a traditional American bar that honestly gave me a lot what I am asking for in a bowl of chowder. The ratio of potato to cream is perfect, allowing for a smooth, thiccc soup. My only complaint? There isn't enough clams for the play of textures of chunky potatoes, silky soup and chewy clam blending in my mouth. It is still a solid bowl though. So solid that I got another item in their menu to try - their shrimp scampi. While the dish is perfectly cooked and they knew how to use acidity to make it really pop the balance was unfortunately lacking. Will still be back for their chowder thk read more

Great dark wood but big ceilinged airy space with surprisingly good food. Had dinner with 3 friends we split the calamari and I had the steak and blue salad and paper plane cocktail. Cocktail was a really well done version. The calamari was good with 3 sauces and good spiced peppers but was a disappointingly small portion even for 1 person never mind 3. The steak and blue salad was exceptional - with perfectly cooked rare steak, blue cheese, greens, crunchy onion strips and ranch dressing. Added by friend avocado he didn't want and it was just perfect. read more

I grew up literally around the corner from here but hadn't really been around Mission Hill as an adult, so my cousin and I decided to check this place out just for some drinks. I really liked the blackberry marg, and my cousin enjoyed the strawberry smash. The environment was lively and I liked the pubbish feel. Unfortunately the nachos were incredibly meh, not enough toppings, and too dry in my opinion, but we didn't try any of the other food so idk if I have enough info to have an opinion on that. read more

We went there for an early dinner on a Tuesday afternoon. We were very pleased with the prices, the service, the ambiance and the food. Each of our meals were $20 or less, before additions, and the food was great, with very good size portions. We will definitely be back anytime we have to go to the hospital near there. read more

Great cocktails and food. Would highly recommend if you like a sports bar/good dinner place with drinks.

I've been here a couple times before for dinner, but today was my first time coming for brunch. I was with a large party (14 of us in total), so making a reservation was necessary. We were seated in the back along the wall. I ordered the New England Breakfast, which was 2 eggs cooked any style, toast, home fries and ketchup, and either bacon, ham, or sausage. The kitchen staff did a great job ensuring all our food came out at the same time. The Mission is definitely is an affordable and approachable option for weekend brunch. I would definitely recommend, especially if you are making reservations for a large party. read more

Husband and I had a lovely Monday night dinner on our last night visiting Boston, we chose The Mission. I ordered a fancy blue cocktail, he ordered a beer. We got the fried calamari appetizer even though I fully intended to have a seafood entree. It was crispy and delicious. Service is very attentive, water is always kept full. I had the seafood risotto with mussels shrimp and calamari. There was a tiniest little hardness to the rice grains, otherwise this is a marvelous dish and I would highly recommend it. Husband had the fish and chips which were very tender and flaky, inside of a rigid crispy crust. No complaints and he could hardly finish his plate. read more

Everyone was happy with the food. The service was meh. It took a while to get our drinks refilled. We'll go again.

I have come here twice after work and have been able to get seated right away. The first time I had gotten drinks and a burger. The second time was drinks and nachos. The burger was juicy and I loved the thin cut fries. The nachos were a good in between meal snack with the additional chicken and guacamole. There was plenty of cheese all over the chips with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, salsa, sprinkled with the grilled chicken. Drinks were good, not anything spectacular but did the job. Service was friendly. Would come again the next time I'm in the area. read more

I see it's been 10 yeas since my last review! This place has not changed (and they did bring back the excellent Bolognese). I always bring friends here and as I previously had written, I've never had a bad meal here. Very consistent. The servers are great. Best restaurant on Mission Hill in my opinion. read more

I used to love this place, I've been here so many times before over the years it was a hangout spot for good music, some food, served as the perfect hangover place to sit and watch the games but I'm not sure if it's covid or just new management but this place really changed for the worst. I recently visited here and as soon as I walked in I'm waiting at the door for at least 5 min, no one comes over, no one seats us, mind you the place isn't busy at all. Ok, no problem there. A few groups come in after us, they all get menus and their order taken (ok that makes sense they probably didn't realize I sat down), I flag down a waitress and she finally takes our order, messed the whole meal up (ok maybe she's just off her game, I'll be patient), then she never comes to check on us, not even once (like I'm thirsty can I get another drink?) so I go to the bar and order my own drink, now we're ready to go, she still doesn't check on us or look our way, sitting trying to flag her down for like 20 min cuz she's just off in the back somewhere she finally comes out and checks the table next to us and they're pissed because they were ready to leave too. Just an overall fail in my opinion. They changed for the worst read more

Good Irish Pub atmosphere. Do not recommend the fish and chips (doesn't taste like a real beer batter). Decent selection of beer.

Highly recommend! The food was excellent, delivered on time and surprisingly still warm.

This restaurant is in the perfect area. It's neighboring my workplace, Brigham and Women's hospital, so I often would go after work for some happy hour drinks to let loose. I always get their Ricky because it is strong and will make sure you're having a great time! The prices here are a bit steep, but it is downtown Boston and the food is always great. read more
