What People Are Saying About Boston Beer Works
Featured Review

The Scene – Your experience at this original Beer Works depends on the time of year: Baseball season brings lengthy lines and standing-room crowds, but the huge, neo-industrial dining areas sport plenty of empty tables between November and March. Sox fans and college-aged beer connoisseurs enjoy an ever-changing assortment of 16 beers on tap--massive kettles produce award-winning brews, like the colorfully named Bambino and Bluebeery Ales. Service can be exceptionally rushed and distracted when the place is packed. – – The Food – An epic menu ranges from healthy and…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- Beware the Hercules Strong Ale--the barley wine has a lethal alcohol volume of 11.5 percent.
- Parking:
- Forget about driving when the Sox are in town: Most area meters become towing zones, and area lots charge exorbitant amounts.

Great food/beer. Very busy.
by MathersDonald at Citysearch
I've always enjoyed going to Boston Beer Works. The food is great and they have a huge selection of beers. The staff is friendly. The only downside is that it gets extremely busy there (even very late at night) and can be hard to find a table and can get a little slow.
Fried Pickles. Nuff said

Any place that's a microbrewery has a special place in my heart. I've gone to Boston Beer Works in every season to try their seasonal selections, and I have yet to be disappointed.
My favorite appetizer is the fried pickles. Doesn't get much better than a cold beer and fried pickles in my world. The food is good pub grub. The atmosphere is relaxed and the waitstaff is always friendly and speedy. Great place to hit before a game (if you can get a table) or before heading to a movie at the Regal Fenway theater down the street!
- Pros: microbrew beer, fried pickles, perfect to watch a game
- Cons: don't expect to get near it when the Sox are in town
