Interesting cocktails and amazing lobster rolls! We stopped in here for a food tour and were very happy with this stop! My wife and I got a hot lobster roll and a cold lobster roll and split it to try the best of both worlds. I prefer the hot roll, even though that may not be the preferred by others, but the cold was very good too. I also got a watermelon mojito. I was unsure about the combo but one of the managers came out and really sold it so I figured I would give it a try. It was sweet, but tasty! read more

Our time at The White Bull was second to none. The night was fueled by excellent food and drink and an overall passion for the amazing city of Boston. Our barkeep Paul was a top contender for the best bartender in the world. Go here if you want an amazing pizza, chicken wing and even an incredible customized cocktail. My wife has the palate of Gordon Ramsey and Paul satisfied her taste buds! Can't wait to go back. read more

We had a great lunch at the White Bull. We enjoyed reading the story behind the name that was posted on the menu. One sis ordered the turkey club with chips, one ordered the arugula salad with shaved Parmesan, and I ordered the cucumber salad with tomatoes and feta. The salads were all very fresh and thoughtfully constructed with lots of flavor. The turkey club was served in a dough pocket that was tasty and filled with turkey, lettuce and tomato. It was big enough to satisfy a hungry tourist. read more

First time here tonight - came here because a friend is in the final round for a karaoke contest - it's serious here they have cash prize for the winner! So we came to support our friend. Karaoke happens upstairs. We got a table and good thing we got there early before they start. It got crowded after 9pm. The DJ Michael was there and he sang a song and he has a nice voice. After that the judges each sang a song and they were all great too. We ordered food at the bar and they brought it to our table. I ordered the cucumber salad with chicken breast and it was good. The chicken was very tender and the veggies (cucumber and tomatoes) were crisp - it was quite a big portion too so good for dinner! Healthy and tasty. The chicken could use a bit more flavor though - it was quite bland. But still overall I was pleasantly surprised that it was good. The hubs ordered the chicken bacon panini with avocado and a side salad. He liked it. Our friend ordered the steak tips sandwich and he really enjoyed it he said the it was very flavorful and he was quite surprised how good it was! I guess it's good when you don't have high expectations ;) It was a fun night watching all the singers sing - they were all really good - one better than the next - really great talent!! Really enjoyed it! Will be back again sometime for singing karaoke! read more

Waitress forgot our drinks. Didn't clean the table for us when we arrived. Forgot she had my card when they wanted me to close out for another server to take over. Then I had to go get my own food and bus myself cuz she forgot to get my food. To add insult to injury, automatic gratuity because it's the World Cup? Get out of here. HORRIBLE. Don't give them your money. read more

You can't go to Boston and not have a lobster roll right? When my friend and I were going back and forth on where to eat, I saw someone having a lobster roll that looked absolutely amazing...so at that point I was hooked lol! The vibe of the restaurant is pretty relaxed, and we got to sit near the opening where we had a view of the busy market street! We were seated quickly and placed our drink orders right away which gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. I ended up ordering the White Bull lobster roll which has the lobster tossed in an avocado aioli and had bacon in it. Normally I like to have my lobster rolls warm but this was absolutely fantastic and by far my favorite cold lobster roll! read more

My wife and I were visiting Boston and wanted to check out somewhere close to where we parked that we haven't been to. After walking into another spot that was open yet had no staff or customers inside we walked right out and went next door to here. Comparatively this spot was busy and appeared to have good vibes. We checked their menu outside and thought it looked good enough. After being seated we spotted their fall drink specials and we both decided to try their autumn inspired margarita. They were delicious and well made so really no complaints about the drinks. The other fall cocktails sounded tasty as well. This does lead me to the biggest complaint that we experienced here though. It had to do with our server seeming to forget us at times and lack of attentiveness. Even to the point that we had already placed our drink order and a table who came in significantly later than us ordered and got their drinks long before we got ours. No mention of apologizing for the wait either and it left a bad taste in our mouth. Beyond that we decided to split their Avocado Chicken Pizza. It ended up being three slices each which was the perfect size meal and it was a tasty meal. Despite enjoying it quite a bit I do think we have had better pizzas for a similar or cheaper price. The biggest knock for us was the lack of quality service. I certainly would have given an extra star had service been better. If you are looking for a spot that has sports bar vibes that has a variety of food offerings check it out. For those fans of the NFL they did appear to have every game on so this may be your spot to grab a drink and catch some football. You will hopefully have a better experience than us. read more

Excellent Vibe ! We came to The White Bull Tavern during our two days in Boston. We had walked by restaurant previous night and decided we needed to check it out during the day. Restaurant was very busy at night my review may not apply to night time. I've read other reviews and it seems like folks encountered problems. When we came during the day (3pm) on a Friday we were able to sit by the window witness it begin to softly rain. Just beautiful view. The food was very good we had a delicious Watermelon Margarita. The Watermelon Purée was made same day. We had fall of the bone wings and I've heard others claim "fall off the boat" but at The Tavern they really did fall off bone! The lobster roll, Maine style, was good, not huge or buttered, as you usually see around here but good sized, fresh, and tasty. The waitress was nice overall, would return. read more

Dined outside in the beautiful Boston air! Maine Lobster Roll. I expected a little better tasting lobster roll; so I was a little disappointed. Although my lobster was good, it was just plain lobster with a little bit of butter on a kind of dry, barely toasted brioche bun. It was slightly cold when it came out to me the side Caesar salad was good as well as the bovine Mule cocktail. Just ok! Pretty great service. It was packed! Saturday during lunch October. read more

We ate here in June of 2025. The atmosphere and location of the restaurant are great. The seats near the window and the patio seating make it fun. My wife had the buffalo-chicken pizza and it was delicious. I had the lobster roll and it was good. It had lots of lobster on it. Probably not the best in Boston but still pretty good. The prices were reasonable for the area. We each had a drink along with our meals and it was $84. Service was decent. They were very friendly but didn't come around a ton. I do recommend this place. read more

The White Bull Tavern is such a gem! The place is super clean and absolutely beautiful inside, and the music was right up my alley. We first stopped in on a Thursday and met Paul -- he was awesome! We had beers and their cheese bread (no pics, but trust me, so good). I also saw someone get their pizza and it looked and smelled amazing. We loved it so much we went back Friday and saw Paul again. He is GREAT -- seriously loved him! He made us the BEST watermelon coconut mojito... omg, I was not expecting it to be that good. Highly recommend it, 100%! He also suggested the lobster roll and wow... absolutely delicious. I usually get lobster rolls in Plymouth, and I have to say, these are wayyyy better. We also tried the wings -- we took them to go, but after tasting them later, still a solid yes from me. Overall, I 100% recommend this place. Great service, vibes, great food, great drinks, and Paul is the best read more

I came to White Bill for a comedy show on a Friday night. For a Faneuil Hall bar, this place is pretty nice. Really impressed with how they transformed the upstairs area and maximized seating. I had a drink at the bar and found the bartenders to be pretty attentive. As soon as the show was over, the staff transformed the area back into a regular bar, before the crowds came in. I've also been to White Bull on a regular Friday/Saturday night and it's your classic college/post-college vibe. Can't speak to the food, as I haven't tried anything off the menu. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in after a Red Sox game on a whim with zero expectations, and we were honestly blown away. The wings were hands down the best we've ever had--and we're always on the hunt for great wings. The pizza was just as impressive, perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. Everything about the experience exceeded what we expected. The service was great. I think we had Liam as our bartender if I remember correctly. And the place had a cool vibe! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Found a hair in my food and the manager told me it was my own fault! Great place if you'd like to be gaslighted

Paul is a gem. Best bartender in recent memory. Make sure you order the watermelon marg or the watermelon mojito ... Basically anything with watermelon, which Paul personally crushes each morning. The pizza. Sweet baby, 7lb, 6oz, Jesus. Picka any of them. There's a reason they have an oven in the place. Eat whatever Paul tells you to eat. 11/10, will repeat. read more

We had a really great and fun experience at the bar yesterday. We were the first customers, and Paul welcomed us to the bar in a super friendly way. We had a delicious app (wings) per his suggestion, and the drinks were great. A plus all around. Paul was exceptional at his job! read more

They were so mean. They genuinely heckled me for not being 21. I'm 20. It was 7:30pm. I literally just wanted Mac and cheese like what. I told them I'm not drinking. They harassed me until I sat at table covered in zins. They wished me a happy birthday 30 times???? So weird I left after they sat me outside which was apparently the only place u could sit if ur 20. Shout out the girl server tho she was chill. Also to mention the "bouncers" were 23 AT BEST. don't go here they suck so bad. read more

Walking into The White Bull Tavern with my best friend was a fortunate accident. We were greeted by the most charming golden bachelor, bartender Paul, and it was like in that moment the whole universe existed to bring us together. We didn't even need to look at the menu because Paul is a man who knows his craft and knows it well. So much so that every morning he blends fresh watermelon with his own two hands to create THE MOST delicious watermelon mojito you will ever have in your entire life. We couldn't even stay away from Paul... I mean The White Bull Tavern... for 24 hours, so we went back the next day... for more... mojitos. Harry Styles can't live without watermelon sugar and now we can't live without Paul's Watermelon Mojito. You shouldn't either. read more

Great vibes with karaoke but the male bartender here acts like he hates his job but good vibes otherwise

We go to the White Bull often and are always impressed with the food and service. Between the owner and the service staff, we watch as everyone is treated as the most important patron there. The food is phenomenal (we recommend the dry-rub chicken wings, the buffalo chicken dip and the pizza), but it is the staff that make the experience the best part overall. We highly recommend. read more

Came for the Eagles game on Sunday! Live dj Delicious wings Delicious pizza with a good amount of garlic They could use more wing flavors.
