    We visited The Point for a Paint Nite event, and had a really fun evening. The pub has a warm, historic feel and a lively atmosphere that makes it a great place to hang out with friends. We enjoyed the music while sipping Guinness and Irish whiskey. We ordered mozzarella sticks and nachos. The food was just okay, but it did the job for a casual night out. What really stood out was the atmosphere. It's one of the oldest taverns in Boston, and it sits right along the freedom trail. It had that classic Boston hangout feel that both locals and tourists enjoy!

    I came for a World Cup game and thy turned the sound on and were very friendly and it was busy but not TOO busy! Which is my absolute favorite thing when it comes to pubs and bars! Vibes were good but the food was lack luster personally! Just nothing to write home about. Would I buy it again no am I mad I spent the money and ate it absolutely not!

    Really nice chill bar; I didn't get the chance to try the food, but I'll definitely do so the next time I'm in town.

    Okay on a work trip we stopped here for Fish&Chips. We were there for about 15 minutes and no one spoke or offered any assistance. Don't waste your time !

    In a lovely neighborhood along the Freedom Trail, this triangular building stood out immediately and it's the home of a cozy, welcoming pub called The Point. We felt right at home immediately and the staff (shout out to Sophia and Kristen) greeted us with smiles and great service. The bartender made excellent cocktails for us (our usual margaritas and old-fashioneds). Our Point Burger (cooked perfectly medium rare, as requested) and crispy chicken sandwich (with coleslaw & fries) were hot, delicious and served promptly. We only regret that we didn't get to go back for another meal during our time there. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and plan to go back on a subsequent trip to Boston!

Boston had been taken over by the Tartan Army and, on this day, they all descended on a Red Sox game. Despite the packed crowd, Diniera behind the bar and Jared bar backing were amazing.

After that, it took about 40 minutes before our server came over to greet us, bring menus, or even ask if we wanted drinks. Waiting that long just to place an order was frustrating, especially considering how empty the restaurant was, there wasn't a game going on so I didn't really understand why it took them that long to send someone ever. Preface we went around 6pm! Once we were finally able to order, it took another 30-40 minutes for our drinks and food to arrive. I've had better experiences here in the past, which is why this visit was so surprising. I understand that off days happen, but the service was unusually slow from start to finish. I hope this was just an isolated experience because the food and atmosphere have been enjoyable on previous visits.

We were seated outside and our waitress was kind and attentive to us. We didn't experience slow service, and it was quick ordering with her. She was on it. We got a pretty big spread of food (honey bbq tenders, nachos, lobster roll, steak and cheese wontons, and margarita pizza). All of it was very average. The flavors were very average and the quality of the food was nothing special. Wish it was more Seaport quality. It's a bummer since not a single plate was piping hot when it got to our table. Everything was either room temperate or cold. Still a great spot to hang out in the sun outside!

We were asked from our bartender if we wanted to close the tab or keep it open. We chose to close it out so we can get to our next destination. After receiving the tab of $58 for 2 beers and 2 mixed drinks... we paid the tab immediately. And when I say immediately, I mean the cash couldn't have come out any quicker from my wallet to pay it before he went to wait on another persons order. The bartender than came back to us grabbed the reciept and cash which included the tip and said thank you. 5 mins later another bartender came up to us asking if we need our tab so we can pay . I told her we have already paid but the way her demeanor and tone to us left me feeling some type of way. I told her I paid in cash with 3 $20's, 1 $5 & 3 $1 bills. I told her to the exact dollars. She then went around asking every bartender if they took our cash. Everyone looked around and said they didn't touch it including our own bartender who waited on us AND was the one who took our money. Fast forward I asked for a manager right away because at this point we were being accused of "not paying" from not just 1 but THREE different bartenders at different times. After waiting another 20 mins for the manager to come out after watching the tapes, our bartender came right back out and took ALL the money we handed him out of the tip jar... he knew exactly where he stashed it... The manager came out and apologized saying that it's her best bartender and he would never do such thing. And you know what, he might be and it could've been an innocent mistake, but accusing us of not paying and then taking the money out of the tip jar while he looks shakey and shitting his pants...I would say it wasn't and that he did it on purpose. So looks like I will never give business to Cask N' Flagon and I hope everyone pays close attention when paying tabs anywhere!!! Being accused of not paying a tab from 3 different bartenders is disrespectful and very low of a big company.

It's like someone mashed together an amusement park, a zoo, and a full-blown circus, then replaced the cotton candy with alcohol and the safety rails with chaos. Every floor felt like a different dimension--one minute you're vibing, the next you're dodging a human traffic jam like it's bumper cars. But the real main event? Colleen. First floor. Absolute legend. Watching her work was like witnessing a headliner performance before the headliner. She wasn't bartending--she was conducting a symphony of pure mayhem. Drinks flying out of her hands like fireworks, orders remembered with supernatural precision, cracking jokes, keeping the energy electric--it was like if a ringmaster, a magician, and a quarterback all fused into one person behind the bar. I showed up stone-cold sober. Like, "responsible adult grabbing a pre-show drink" sober. What happened next was less of a night out and more of a controlled demolition. Somewhere between Colleen's perfectly poured chaos and the multi-floor madness, time stopped making sense. I'm pretty sure I blacked out on one floor and woke up on another like I was fast-traveling in a video game. At one point I may have been part of the circus. Not watching it--part of it. By the time I left, "walking" was no longer an option. I exited the building in a full crawl, like I had just survived a natural disaster. Limbs questionable, dignity gone, spirit intact. 10/10. No notes. Would absolutely risk it all again.

We got there towards the end but scored some merch. We did wait for a table since it was a full house for this, but luckily we scored one with a TV in view. My friends and I got dinner, opted out of drinks this round. I got the chicken quesadilla with a side of spanish rice. The quesadilla was pretty good, but the rice was a little undercooked. They also charged extra for a side of sauce which has never happened before so that was a bummer. I wouldn't have got one if I'd known. Oh well. We then split the cookie sundae which was yummy. Cookie was undercooked and a little raw but it was okay. Still tasted okay, food is always good but nothing to write home about. I like it though. The atmosphere and the shared energy of Boston sports fans being able to come together and enjoy a game makes up for the food being above average. I'll still come back and enjoy a game here.
