The bar doesn't serve food, but makes up for it with delicious finger foods like chips, jerky, meat sticks and pickled poppers. All affordable. Well drinks are fairly priced. Only hang up is, if you are used to receiving shots in actual shot glasses, then you will become accustomed to drinking shots from mini plastic cups. Bartenders are friendly and easy to talk too. Locals and Baseball fans, as the Stadium is directly across the street. Word of advice, don't park on Pine street & you'll be just fine !

It's your basic sports bar definitely more than enough TV's to cover whatever sport you'd want to watch. We ordered pretzel bites with beer cheese the pretzels were very salty but warm and in my opinion better without the cheese it definitely is more like nacho cheese rather than beer cheese but it's not bad just nothing to write home about. I got the Caprese Fried Chicken sandwich and it was pretty good and the fries in my opinion are the real show stopper crispy but not burnt the perfect fry homemade I believe too. My girlfriend got the Chicken Philly in a wrap and she enjoyed it. We had a new server training with Julianna and he was great very attentive asked if I wanted a refill when my drink was gone. Which as a customer tells me you care and you're paying attention. We were in and hour in a little over an hour. I would definitely return if in the downtown area!

Ye Olde Wine Cellar neither specializes in wine, nor is it in a cellar. It's your average beer pub…read more It is located in a tiny enclosed mall (more like a corridor) attached to a supermarket. The pub has two entrances, one from the outside and one from the enclosed section. The glass windows to the enclosed mall (facing the supermarket's bottle return machines) has bamboo shades, probably so the patrons don't feel like they're in a zoo display, or to prevent wholesome families on a food shopping trip from seeing consummation of adult beverages (actually probably both). There's a good selection of draft beers and other drinks, the bathrooms are clean, and the staff is friendly. There is also a relatively large pub food selection. As a result, especially with the "Vestal Curve," I'm giving this place four stars.

People who used to go to it now own it, so while the name has changed and some required changes have taken place (RIP the old record jukebox!) it spiritually feels like the same friendly place, with a new outdoors and a great local vibe. Not exactly for BU students, but not exactly NOT, either. They don't mind much who comes in as long as you're respectful. Buy a shirt. Make it your local spot if you live nearby, or if you want to escape the chaos of downtown. The pizzeria next door is actually pretty good too. Enjoy.

The back was filled with college students and locals. Some a bit more jolly on chemical induced happiness.

Inside was a clean area with tables and the bar. A great digital jukebox that will eat your bills faster than you can drink your well priced beverages. I had a draft Yeungling for $3 and double Tito's and soda for $7.
