Editorial Review for Beacon Street Tavern – by Eric Grossman
In Short
Similar to its sister location, the Beacon Street Tavern aims to provide its guests with a welcoming spot for reasonably-priced, upscale comfort fare. The menu runs the gamut from pressed sandwiches and spicy beef quesadillas to more high-minded fare like seared tuna and an eggplant napoleon. No reservations are taken, so most patrons face a wait, even on weeknights. When the weather allows, there's a breezy outdoor patio.

Kind of dark, but the food is great, the bartenders frequently have Irish accents, and the atmosphere can't be beat.
Pros: ambience, food
Cons: sometimes a bit of a wait

i went to the beacon street tavern on thursday 6/12/08, met a friend at the bar and then we sat outside. my friend happens to be pregnant but does not look it and ordered a club soda, much to the chagrin of the waitress. we ordered, ate, paid the bill and left a 20% tip even though the waitress was mediocre and had a bit of a 'tude....within 5 minutes of paying the bill, the hostess came up and said that she needed the table (the inside of the restaurant was half-full) and that we would need to leave. are you kidding me?? i will never go to this place again, the food is good, but, not good enough for that kind of treatment....this is a city of a million restaurants where one need not be treated rudely. note to the beacon street tavern....treat your guests like guests, not like you are doing them a favor by letting them sit and eat for 40 minutes. ridiculous.
