I have been to The Sevens a few times, and it is always a solid experience. It is a classic Beacon Hill dive bar with real local flavor. The music leans toward classic rock--on one visit Black Sabbath was playing, and similar tunes have set the tone each time. The vibe is relaxed, unpretentious, and just the right level of lively. Sports are always on. I have caught the Red Sox, NFL games, and other sports during my visits. It is a great place to grab a beer and watch a game without the crowd or noise of a big sports bar. I have had the French Dip sandwich and the BLT, and both were good... nothing fancy, just satisfying pub food that hits the spot. The beer list is strong for a small place, with local and craft options on tap. It is beer and wine only, which works just fine here. The bar staff has always been friendly and welcoming. Seating is limited, and it can get tight, but that is part of the charm. It is the kind of place where regulars mix with first-timers and everyone feels comfortable. Three and a half stars would be right on the mark, but I will round up to four. The Sevens is dependable, casual, and worth a stop if you are in Beacon Hill looking for a laid-back spot to drink, eat, and unwind. read more

This is a mid-sized bar and restaurant right in the convenient location of Beacon Hill, so we decided to come here last minute to meet up with friends. It wasn't too busy on a weeknight, so we just seated ourselves and grabbed a waiter when we were ready to order. They have a plentiful menu with classic bar foods, and I was eyeing the hotdog. Simply considering the portion size of the hotdog, I definitely think it is worth the price. It was an outstanding hotdog, just a large one. The staff were all friendly and quick to help, and the restaurant itself is very cozy and a nice place to relax for dinner while chatting with friends. Overall, I liked the environment here and I would absolutely come back to try more hotdogs! read more

Great time at sevens. Super busy but food was great. I had the French dip and it was delicious would definitely recommend. My sister had the BLT and it was good but nothing crazy. The best thing was the chicken sandwich I don't remember what it was called but so good. read more

4.5/5 One of my new favorite bars in BOS! The Sevens is beer and wine only but I love the Guinness culture! Such a relaxed but fun environment in the heart of one of Boston's best neighbor, Beacon Hill. The staff were so amazing as well. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

The Sevens Ale House - Pubs Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Crowded as can be, narrow little pub pouring proper pints of Guinness on Charles St. Quick bar service despite being packed and bathrooms surprisingly clean and move quick. The dubstep music blaring from jukebox was a miss for me, some Irish trad would've made the vibe complete. read more

This place is just a gem as an iconic Boston Neighborhood pub. The young bartender was a very nice guy who has been there for three years but he knew everyone who came in as though he were Sam at Cheers. The waitress was very sweet too. The food is basic, but let's be honest, that's not the reason you're here. You're here to feel like part of the city as though you lived here your whole life. Just have a pint and enjoy the vibe! read more

The Sevens Ale House - Rachel - turkey, coleslaw, cheese and Russian dressing on marbled rye. With brown beans. - Pubs Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Shoutout to the lady who works in the kitchen part of this bar. Came in last night and she was the first one to even look our way and give us menus. Very sweet and the food was decent for a dive. The male bartender however is a prick. We came in at 9pm on a Sunday and the place was pretty dead. He had an attitude with virtually everyone who wasn't a regular apparently. I went up to order food after finishing my first drink and he gave me lip about "not having patience to wait for him to come to us"..... after watching him blatantly ignore us. Yeah i'm never coming back. Also, one alcoholic drink and two late night apps for $50? Ridiculous. I'd recommend not wasting your time. read more

Visited from Texas, split the g a few times. Bob, that's all you need to know. Great time, great music, great service. Thanks sevens ale house, thank you bob! read more

The bouncer was really aggressive towards women and scary for no reason. A group of us went there and the bouncer wouldn't expect that two of the group were twins! And he proceeded to scream at my friend and wouldn't let us in but let several people in. It was high key messed up and he was clearly on a power trip read more

Great beer / wine bar with amazing bartenders! Great place to try local brews, in a cozy, historic setting! read more

Best Reuben I've ever had. Definitely underrated spot in Beacon Hill. Good atmosphere too

Food was good, simple pub fare. Took a while to get drinks and food. The staff was good and helpful, but just was slow to get to us once we had gotten seated. read more

Great little historic pub! They have a daily hot dog special. We were there on Thursday and shared a Chicago Dog and Cape Cod chips. The hot dog was really good and was just the right amount for a shared snack. We sat at the bar and had good service. read more

Sevens Ale House really does feel like you've been transported to a whole different place. The dark wood, the juke box, the menu written in chalk - all of that really created the vibe. They have a pretty extensive beer list which we obviously had to explore. People were right about there not being a lot of food options but we got some appetizers and they were really good! I personally recommend the pretzel bites. As for the service, staff were very attentive but I did feel some pressure to hurry up and leave, which was odd seeing as how we were in place that felt like you could hang in. But this honestly won't stop me from coming back hahahaha I liked how funky the place so you'll find me here again! read more

This has become a trash bar. I used to love this place, but the owners treat people like garbage. Once you lose the kindness factor, there's no reason to go to a small, dirty, dark bar that isn't a dive, isn't cheap, and isn't fun. read more

Everything was great. I had the chili and Kiley sandwich. Both were great. Would definitely recommend.

One of my favorite small neighborhood pub when am in the west beacon hill/Charles street area. Walk in the commons, say hi to the ducklings and then walk up here for a few beer. Big no to cheers though. Nice quaint place where there's always a place to sit down. Love the decor and almost has a divey feel to it. Haven't tried the food yet although doesn't look like a place where you'll go to grab a bite. read more

Pub with a real and authentic Boston vibe. Food and drink was delicious, and the menu variety was just right. Both staff and patrons were wicked friendly. Will definitely stop in again when I'm in the area next. Thanks again! read more

Had a quick and easy lunch here - friendly place with one harried waitress (Julianne) managing with the bar tender - and she did a great job. Kept her cool and was friendly. We had the knockwurst plate and the chili. Both were very good. Knockwurst was salty and went perfectly with the sauerkraut and potato salad. Chili was filling and delicious. Beer was good, too. Reasonable prices. Great stop for lunch. read more

Finely a bar with a few ciders to choose from. Cool locals bar vibe. Great walking neighborhood. read more

This is a dive bar which isn't a bad thing. They had about 30 beers and ciders and most likely house wine.

for lunch my party had the pastrami sandwich, french dip, greek wrap and clam chowder, and got a great IPA recommendation from our bartender. great service, super yummy food, obviously a favorite local spot. will definitely be back if i ever come back to visit boston. came back the next day and got a tuna melt, caesar salad, chicken wrap, and chili dog, all very very good read more

The Seven's on Charles St is the absolute best local bar around. Great sandwiches, great beer selection and run by a woman (yahoo). Jack Kiley has owned this bar for years and has recently turned it over to Jules (his daughter) to run. She has made some changes and has brought it back to life. If you are in the area, pop in to say hello and have a great sandwich made by Carlos. Heres to many more years to the Seven's read more

Me and my roommates are regulars here and we absolutely LOVE this place. Special shoutout to Alfonso and Paul, both amazing people who make sure we always have a great time. The dogs of the day are also bomb, especially the Reuben dog. We have also enjoyed playing darts and queuing songs in the nonjudgemental environment. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Despite a nice atmosphere and kind female waitress, older bartender came to our table of four girls and asked if we wanted him to put on lesbian porn, asked if we had "daddy issues" and made sexist remarks when we asked to put on a basketball game. We were made very uncomfortable and have no intention of returning. read more

Horrible experience. Stop by at about 1030 on a Tueaday night for a drink and a bite to eat. We were greeted at the door and asked if we knew what we wanted. We then asked for a menu, and the bartender said he would check on us. 15 minutes later, we had to approach the barback to order, and no food was available. What a waste of time. Had a drink got the check and not even a thank you. Not coming back ever. read more

Sweet place!! Casual atmosphere with great bar food and outstanding beer list. The neighbor hotdog of the day, I would highly recommend! read more

Friendly, cheap, great atmosphere. Pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon. Food is good, but the atmosphere is probably what brings people back.

The Sevens is a staple in the neighborhood, and brings together people of all ages and backgrounds, for one common goal: to congregate. John M. and Kenny are the kindest souls and sweetest friends, (well... as sweet as you can get in Boston). As long as they are around, The Sevens will never be empty and will never die. read more

The Sevens Ale House - Bar Window - Pubs Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Great dive bar with good prices. Downside is that the service is really lacking. It's a shame since Boston really needs more options of this ilk- you know, just without the terrible service. read more

This was an okay place but I probably wouldn't go again. Only beer and wine in the menu no mixed drinks. The food wasn't anything to write home about and neither were the drinks. For what you got the price was pretty high and with only one server it took a while to order and get everything. read more

We stopped here for a drink before heading to dinner down the street so I can't speak to the food. The ambiance was fun and lively...had to wiggle in to order a drink at the bar. It felt cozy and very "Boston." read more

What a great experience at Seven's the bartender John was incredibly friendly and welcoming even for us out of towners. The food was good and John made sure our every need was attended to. Also he was super funny and great to chat with. 5 stars! 4 thumbs up! read more

Came here at around 4 on a Saturday. We were able to get a table but some people were standing as well. We didn't get food, just beers. I think there was only one server working for a packed place. Seemed like she was quite busy, but was able to handle the load. Beers were good, would be interested in trying to food next time. read more
