    Pretzel appetizer
    Danielle M.

    Great place to watch World Cup! Great ambience. Food is what you would expect. Kids meal was excellent.

    The food was good, it was fresh. The service was great, the hostess at the door were very friendly, the waiter was attentive. The decor reminded me of a locker room/game suite, the name matches the decor for sure.

    Brazil vs. Morocco was an amazing match on its own, but watching it here? A solid 7/10. The atmosphere was electric, and the food was exactly what you'd expect from a sports bar good, standard game day fare. The score dropped a few points solely because of the number of people's hair that nearly ended up in my drink. If you're planning to watch a game here, learn from my mistake: do NOT sit in the middle row. Choose a spot against the wall or grab a seat at the bar instead!

    LOVE this place! Highly recommend their espresso martini, honey whiskey old fashioned, burger, Caesar salad. we were there for a volleyball tournament and they had a special menu selection for the event, which our daughter enjoyed! The atmosphere is giving upscale sports club (what I assume they are going for), it is loud, but lots of TVs to watch hockey, and service was fairly good.

    Lobster roll

    Honestly pleasantly surprised by this upscale sports bar. I'm not usually one for sports bar, but they really managed to create an aesthetic that feels really nice while also cramming in a bunch of tvs. The bar makes one big loop (not quite circular) and from any seat you've got plenty of tv views. Really cool. The vibes and lighting are nice. It feels cozy and warm where so many sports bars feel cold and washed out from the tvs. Well done on the design. Pretty extensive selection of whiskey I was sitting in front of. A few cool options for cocktails on the menu. I went for a special 10 year whistle pig cocktail, it ended up being a bit too sweet for me with the maple syrup, but it was a cool one to try none the less. While I was there they had some game day specials. The slider trio seemed like a good option to try a lobster roll, smashburger, and nashville hot chicken sandwich all in one go. I ended up just going for the main lobster roll which was $52 mkt price. Quite steep. The lobster roll was different, with a miso butter. The whole thing was quite saucy and messy, and probably could have used a bit less of the sauce which somewhat overpowered the lobster. Wouldn't go for this again at this price, but again, a fun twist to try. I was here utilizing my $100 credit towards the Omni hotel and blew through it quite quickly. Not mad about it though. This was the one redeeming point on my visit to this hotel, maybe not enough to stay there again. But as far as a bar at the bottom of a hotel, this is one I would not mind going back to.

    We came to Boston to celebrate Thanksgiving and came to the Sporting Club for dinner after eating and exploring around town during the afternoon. Normally, I steer away from restaurants/bars that are sports-focused as they often offer subpar food and a loud environment, not the most family friendly. However, I was wowed by Sporting Club on multiple levels. First of all, upon entering, you get to walk on the wooden floors that they moved from a former practice court of the Celtics. How cool is that! Then, it gets better as you walk through what feels like a tunnel, which leads to an impressive interior with high ceilings and multiple TV screens that wrap around the walls. As a basketball fan, I felt like I was walking through the tunnel as a player onto a court. They didn't rest their impressiveness on the aesthetics only. The food here deserves your attention as well. We ordered each of our boys a kids meal, not expecting much. They ordered fresh fruits as a side, which turned out to be the nicest fresh fruit bowl I have seen for kids (or even adults!) This was not your typical sliced apples in a bag. This was a fresh cut bowl of sliced apples, sliced bananas, strawberries, and grapes. I was truly impressed by this attention given to the kids meal. Kudos to the kitchen! We ordered the dip with chorizos and it was simply the largest plate of chips and dip I've ever ordered. The tortilla chips were fresh and warm. The dip was creamy and complex in flavors. We also ordered and shared the rigatoni, which was well balanced and tasty. I was surprised to actually see the size of the crowd at the restaurant on this holiday evening. Well, maybe I shouldn't be so surprised given the quality of the food and its classy and tasteful interiors. The service was decent overall given how busy the restaurant was.

    This atmosphere was perfect for any sports fans. There were at least three games playing in XXL screens. The screens were nice and clear. The place is way larger than I expected. They even had a few Christmas decorations, which was the cherry on top! The food came out pretty quickly however it took a while for our server to come back to check on us. Grab your jersey, a few friends, and get ready for a great time!

    A beautiful sports bar in the Omni Hotel. Which is funny to say since that's not usually how sports bars are described. There were many, very large screens playing various sports across the bar. The bar itself was quite nice to look at. Our servers were very friendly and our drinks were delicious. The Bloody Mary comes with fried clams, lobster, and a giant shrimp on top!

    Power bowl with steak
    Kelsey M.

    We had a reservation for a Saturday night - was able to get in early which was great. The Cheese curds were a true Wisconsin taste (as a Wisconsin native), the power bowl with steak was delicious - very large portions. It was very loud, there are TVs everywhere! Great for grabbing a drink and dinner while watching a game but wouldn't recommend for a date night out. We booked for convenience and proximity to the Westin. We would return.

    Surprisingly great food and a good open and clean sports bar vibe. Had the pork belly for 2 (tons of food) and the churro dessert--that also came with a side of choco moose. Wine was a good pour and decent. Whenever I'm back the the area--will definitely revisit. Reasonably priced.

    Apps were very good. But the atmosphere is the 5/5, coolest hotel bar I've ever been too, it's legit great sports bar.

    You must order the kale salad. I am not a kale salad person, yet I have dined here three times in…read morethe last week to eat the kale salad and am already planning my next visit. You know when you're eating a kale salad and the pieces are too big and you're kind of cramming them into your mouth and then the salad dressing is all over your face? This is NOT that salad! The kale is perfectly chopped so you can enjoy it with just your fork as you talk to your friend/spouse/date or just read your book. The dressing is such perfection, and the perfect amount, no gloopiness here! Crunchy breadcrumbs add magical texture and then there's a shower of finely grated gouda cheese on top. Have you ever read a good book and as you're reading it, you're so into it that you don't want it to end? So you slow down your reading speed to make it last a little longer? That's how I feel about this salad. There are other delicious items on the menu, I saw someone eating the burger that looked so good, I also want to try the Brussels but the call of the salad siren is too strong. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly, especially Catherine, and the kitchen team even shared the dressing recipe with me. Excellent wine list, casual and cozy space with twinkle lights, a lot of bar/counter seating, great date spot. Also attached/sister company to American Provisions I believe (great spot in Southie for sandwiches, cheeses, wines, pastries, rare food items).

    Really excellent restaurant with a fun, eclectic menu and good range of beer and wine offerings…read more All the dishes were really well executed and tasty, though the menu does skew a little on the heavier/fried side. The whitefish Milanese was probably my favorite though they are also famous for their burger. Our server was attentive and courses were perfectly paced. I would highly recommend!

    Came here for dinner for the first time with a couple of friends. Hubby and I ordered their…read morebuffalo loaded fries, a spicy chicken burger, pressed veggie melt, and a couple of drinks. Total came out to approximately $80 (not including tip). What's Hot - Menu. Pretty good variety. There's something for everyone, including vegans (for the most part). Specifically for vegans, they do not appear to have vegan cheese. They recently added loaded fries to their menu. - Quality. We tried their buffalo loaded fries, which definitely a good kick of spiciness. There was a good amount of buffalo mozzarella cheese and chicken. Their fries are slightly crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. I really enjoyed my pressed veggie sandwich. There were whole veggies, such as broccoli, with a good amount of cheese melted between all the veggies. I liked that it was not a mashed patty. The sourdough bread was not tart (which I prefer), soft, and not too greasy. No skimping on the ingredients either. Their mozzarella bites appetizer is good, not overly breaded, and cheesy/stringy. All of us enjoyed our meals. - Service. We showed up without reservations on a Friday night when it was cold and rainy, and they were able to seat us right away. We tried several other restaurants before getting here, and we would have had to wait at least one hour, because we did not have reservations, even though those restaurants clearly had open tables. Our waitress was helpful. She answered all questions she had and was able to provide us contextual helpful info (i.e., what she's tried from the menu, what she liked and why, flavor level, etc...). She paid attention to detail. One of our friends hates pickles and specifically asked for no pickles with his burger. This may seem like a minor detail, but if a staffer cannot pay attention to detail in the service industry, that is not a good indication. - Price. Good value for money, especially given the quality of food and portions. - Portions. Good amount and enough to get one full on one dish. - Location. Conveniently located in downtown Boston around many other shops and restaurants. - Layout. At the front, there's a pretty large bar area, including high tables and chairs, with booths and smaller tables towards the back. They appear to be able to accommodate large groups and smaller parties, including individuals. What's Not - Acoustics. It's pretty loud inside and sound carries very easily, so it's difficult to carry a conversation. Final Answer Worth returning.

    I got two cocktails from here and loved both! The "down cape" was very pretty and tasty. I also…read moreenjoyed the "starstruck" drink. The restaurant is very large and has plenty of seating.
