The best bar in Boston

by Ben W , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

Best bar in Boston? Whoa Ben, that's quite a claim. Now, despite their proximity to Fenway, this is not the best place to go to watch the game. However, if you want to meet up with a group of friends, enjoy some amazing mozzarella sticks, nachos or a burger and drink beer in a casual, relaxed setting there is no better place. The food quality is WAY above your average bar and the drink selection is extraordinary.

But the best part is the bartenders. They seem to be having a great time working the room and all you need to do is stand by the bar for a couple minutes to see how much people love them. Go there more than a couple times (and be nice to them) and they will remember you, your name and what you drink. You’ll get handshakes and back pats as you come in and will have a great time.

This is a place not to be missed!

• Pros: Good food, great drinks, BEST service
• Cons: Sound is not always on for the game

Going downhill

by chiff at Citysearch

OK, I remember Cornwall's Pub to have great beer, good food and most of all remind me of home. Now, unfortunately, I have had lunch in there for the first time in 3 years and I have to say it now is way below par. I ordered my usual, Tetleys (on draft), but the head was about 2 and a half inches and it was so cold that it had no taste. The fish sandwich (St. Ives Fish Sandwich) was so small it looked like a tiny tilapia fillet, breaded in breadcrumbs that tasted like they had been fried multiple times and there was the skimpiest amount of fish between the breadcrumbs. At least the fries were OK. Sad to see such a good place go down hill. Ah well.....

• Pros: Reminds me of a true British Pub, at least one in the City
• Cons: Food below par, service mediocre, Good selection of beer but badly poured, not kid friendly

Good casual atmosphere

by ladyshonestopinion at Citysearch

I've been here a few times, once as a part of a large crowd and a few times just with a couple other friends. They have a great beer selection and the bartenders are helpful with recommendations. Waitress was extremely friendly even after we told her we were only having drinks. This place is intimate enough early in the night for a casual dinner with a few friends but also huge selection of board games, darts, and pool tables in case you get bored. Rumored to be a favorite among BU faculty, definitely worth checking out if you like a casual night and don't feel like dressing up.

• Pros: Ambience, Service, Drink Selection
• Cons: Parking
