Leah Rheault: Albi was the best bouncer!!!!!!!!

Johnathan Seng: Wonderful place for food and drinks. Loved the pool tables and the bartenders were so nice. My real estate colleagues and I enjoyed our time there for a get together for the holidays. Unfortunately, when I went outside for some fresh air, I wasn’t let back inside by the staff. Nothing wrong, it was only 11pm, and I saw them letting people in, but me specifically wasn’t let back in. Suit and tie, my tab was still open, not trashy, and I wasn’t let back in. I appreciate them keeping the scene “appropriate” however I felt offended because I couldn’t go back in but anyone who was white was allowed to go in. Imagine being outside in the freezing cold and all of your friends are inside, your tab is open and you’re just waiting to go back inside but they won’t let you but they’ll let 5 other people go in. I felt distraught as it was an important time to gather with my team and here I am in a suit and tie, outside a bar and not allowed to re-enter. Please reconsider visiting cheeky monkey for your next visit.

Juan Necochea: Rush you out the door for their convenience while waiting for a ride share

Klara Cheung: Overall a good experience. We didn't have any trouble getting sat on a Saturday afternoon. They were out of 3/7 of their beers so the flight was of the remaining four.The Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale was delicious, I definitely recommend if you're into the fruity beers with that hint of sweetness. I'm not generally an IPA fan but the double IPA - Harambe's Ghost was pretty good.Food was decent. We got the Nori Fries and Queso Verde which were both good. For our meals, we ordered the Mushroom & Pepperjack Burger and the Katsu Chicken Bao. I was a little disappointed with both. The flavors of the burger didn't really pop. The sauce on the bao was fantastic but the chicken was a thin piece and although very crispy, was very tough.Overall a cool place though and I would come back to probably try other items on the menu. They also have this cool back space area with lots of pool tables, ping pong tables and shuffleboard. Loved the atmosphere.

Andrew Martin: A great place to hang out and get drinks, and not bad for prices! Plus people watching down in the game section is always for free haha! Love going here and playing some shuffleboard with the pals, and the food rocks 👍Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Tita: We sat at the bar. Mira was our bartender and she was AMAZING. Nonstop busy but she was so attentive and she was friendly to everyone that came up to order at the bar all throughout our time here.The Mexican street corn was absolutely delicious.

Michael Thoma: Food is great and same with the service. The draft beer though, is another story. None of the staff have confidence in their home brews. I've tried them and they aren't good. IPAs are either underwhelming or have a strange flavor. If that is corrected, I will happily increase my review

Paul: Food is great. Staff are friendly. Place is clean. Not an emotionally driven review but the $13 Autumn Harvest drink was all ice and probably 4oz of fluid, very very watered down alcohol (I blew a 0.01 on my keychain breathalyzer after finishing it , I keep this for responsible driving). Ordered a juice box mixed drink as well, couldn’t taste any alcohol. Love the vibe but the drinks, for the price, need fixing. That’s my only gripe.

Jaye Aster Broder: Fun spot near Fenway for shuffleboard, pool, and other games. There are many sweet beers on tap. The environment is fun. This space holds a lot of people and also has dining options.

Zachary von Jena: I was waiting for 30 min to order food with my group. I asked our server if she will finally order us some food, but they didn’t like that. I asked in as low of a tone as possible to not make a scene as an introvert, but this was considered “yelling at a 19 year old girl”. I tried to apologize as I didn’t mean to yell, I was merely talking over the music and wanted food, as I entered the establishment starving, but they where not having any of it. I was forced out on grounds as a rude customer. All I wanted was some food and drinks, but they refused to serve me. I’ve had better service at an Oktoberfest tent then at this establishment. Please avoid, as any disagreement is considered “yelling at a little girl” and will make you leave feeling awful and hungry.

T. MR.WILSON (BODHI-SATTVA-SÕĹ): I love this place because of the fact of it having pool tables, ping pong, and shuffleboard. Absolutely excellent. Good job with allowing alternatives for those that do not drink.

TJ Kelly: Probably not bad if the bartender wasn't ignoring 90% of the customers at the bar to check her phone.

Enoch C: Pretty lousy beer for a brewery. I don’t remember the last time I opted to not finish my beer. The mango beer was truly gross. Service and atmosphere was good otherwise.

Joe Oneil: Awesome place!!

je pe: Nice patio and good brewskies, I was surprised by the number of babies and dogs visiting...

Diane Fitzgerald: Love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and of course, the beverages!

Britt Wedenoja: Best brewery in Boston! They always have new beers and don’t just have IPAs.

ellyn delaney: Awsome

Brian DiSanto: Always great to stop in for a nice larger. The selection of largers is great. Yes you can get IPAs and double IPAs but if you want something else they have it. Great staff and good tap room to relax in.

shriti jaiswal: Great vibe and lots of board games to entertain. We were a large group and easily got a place here on a Saturday evening.I would like the beer menu to be more diverse, strongly IPA based. Nothing on the food menu. They had a pop up food stall. Nothing for the vegetarian. Pop corn on their menu was packaged one and was selling for $8. I think that’s pricey.They do encourage you to order food from outside though. However, some finger food on the menu would be ideal.

matt maher: Good beers and the pop up food vendors are great.

M. M. Cassidy: Great beer, even better community—from the beerhall-reminiscent Taproom to local pop-up food offerings to hosting community events. Another review said Idle Hands makes beers that were ‘just right’ and someone else put it even better that ‘It isn’t possible to speak highly enough about Idle Hands.’ This is all true.As a regular I might be biased, but I also wouldn’t be a regular if Idle Hands didn’t have 1. Great beer 2. Knowledgeable, smart staff and 3. An environment that is welcoming and makes me feel safe. I can come alone as a woman and sit at the bar reading undisturbed, watch the Pats game, or just strike up a conversation with friendly strangers. Idle Hands is all good vibes.In addition to their excellent beer selection (and Spindrift), they host local pop-up food offerings as well as events, so there really is a sense of community bringing people together. Their patio is dog-friendly, they have games (including shuffleboard inside), and they’re overall a space where anyone will feel welcome, whether solo crossword enthusiast, family with infant hoping for no fuss, group event, or woman reading a book at a bar.

Raul Angulo: Great and friendly service. High quality and variety of beers.

Christine Hoguet: The beer selection and quality never disappoint at Idle Hands. Very nice taproom and dog friendly patio.

Ian Maschal: Amazing staff and great beers. Usually have great food trucks too!

Rebecca Cannon: Amazing local craft brewery.

Alex Navarro: One of the best breweries in Greater Boston. Wonderful people, fantastic classic and modern beers - so happy you're in Malden!

John Howard: Cozy, well run, and consistently great beer. A friendly staff and company that gives back to and is an active part of the community

Nikki Perlot: They always gave a great variety of types of beer, and it's all delicious. Friendly staff and a great taproom and patio.

The Retired Pirate: For lovers of authentic German-style beers there is absolutely no better place than Idle Hands! I personally appreciate the authentic beer-hall, no-tv-distraction, aesthetic which makes it easy to play a board game with friends/family, chat, or even meet the other regulars.As someone who loves to try varieties of foods from area businesses, but doesn’t always want to travel to get there, the rotation for “food trucks” and pop-ups always offers a reason to get excited about going there for a beer.Finally, I’ve got to conclude with a shout-out to everyone working the taps- they’re all fantastic, friendly, helpful and just make it a naturally welcoming atmosphere from your first visit.So 5-Stars from me for what I consider an authentic European-style Beer Hall with a local twist!PROST IDLE HANDS!

Josh Hiltz: Great brewery with a wide selection of beer styles always on rotation. Their sour series called Kill Your Idles is top tier, their IPAs are extremely well done, and they offer the largest selection of other styles in the area. The Taproom in Malden is a great place to hang out, they have an excellent rotation of food trucks and spot restaurants, and their staff is the best in the business.

David Bonner: As always, the staff is friendly and helpful, and it continues to be the best brewery in and around Boston.

Qres Milan Ephraim: Great game selection and enough options brew options to fill a well-selected flight! Impressed with service and the NEIPA selection with a heavier mouthfeel than other hazy IPAs.

Jessica Crescimano: I love this brewery. They have delicious beers, flights available, pop up foods and fun and community oriented events. We have gone for comedy, for a river clean up, and just for the sake of sitting on a dog friendly patio.

sarah ambrogne: Finally a place where I can sit, enjoy a beer, and support a good cause!

Ryan Bettez: Still love love this place. Best rooftop bar in MA. The addition of the roof top space and M &M bbq is awesome.

Maddy Laudermilk: The beer is VERY good (love a very citrusy IPA) the space is very nice with interesting paintings and family oriented board games. But seriously: beers with donations to charities? Finally a place where I can sit, enjoy a beer, and support a good cause! Drinking a beer and making a statement, that’s what I’m talking about!! BEST BREWERY ON THE SOUTH SHORE

Igor Mikaelian: The beer was reasonably good (very citrusy for an IPA); the space is nice with interesting paintings and family-oriented board games. But seriously: beers with donations to charities? Isn't there a place we can sit, enjoy a beer, and not be bothered by politics? Does anyone feel that drinking a beer needs to make a statement?

Brian Bloom: Showed up at 4PM on a Sunday for BBQ and MOBA - was told kitchen was closed for a "staff party" - no notice on the website which stated kitchen open until 7PM. Beware of episodic closures with no notice before you drive to Dorchester.Tried again a few months later. Food was good, the pilsner was excellent. Art from MOBA made the trip a pleasure.

Nat Werth: Lovely atmosphere, excellent wruff-top views, and good food! I loved that the chicken sandwich was made with dark meat and wasn’t too spicy. The board games and arcade games looked like a lot of fun, but I sadly didn’t have the time to play any. The coffee brew was the perfect alternative to my typical afternoon tea

Jorge Vega: Loved it! Great vibe and the BBQ is phenomenal.

B: Very friendly and Museum "pieces" on the walls are great. Make sure to read the story of each. Beers are all fresh made right in the back of the building and then in your glass nice and cold.

C. Sheers: Great atmosphere, good drinks 🍸 wings were bomb too 😋

Zac Wolf (Zac Wolf Photography): Had an incredible experience photographing a wedding here in 2022. The venue is amazing, staff A+, and I'm still thinking about the bbq a year later

Brenn “Metro” Bondy: Probably the most welcoming and inclusive brewery / tap room I’ve encountered since relocating to New England, great selection of beers and amazing staff

Gursewak Singh: Only for truck delivery drivers. See the pictures and come this way. If you come from opposit direction go all the way, there is a round about. This place is suppers easy and fast. The staff was very nice they accepted my delivery even though I was late and it was snowstorm.

Andrew Zoller: Huge space with games, tons of seating and excellent service. Food to order from the BBQ spot inside. Highly recommend!

Jennifer: Love your food partner M&M but super bummed out by your customer service. Got take out the other night half my order was missing but I was charged for it. M&M won't answer their phone and I when I called the brewery to see if they could help they told me they were too busy to be bothered.

Glenn Jones: Been twice now. Love the BBQ and the beer. Perfect together. Can get crowded but that’s what happens at the best places.

Sean McKenna: Nice view from second floor

Adam Barney: My first visit was on day one that they opened. I'd rate it five stars even back then.The beer, staff and patio all melded together to be a game changer on a block that didn't seem to ever be one with a vibrant place to echo the neighborhood but expand the reach and it's true meaning to the people who are here.Fast forward, to today and the fact they brought M&M in-house for a delicious food program of legendary BBQ status plus built up into the sky for even more space and I would give them six stars if I could.Run to visit. Drink up. Eat up.

JoBeth Umali: This venue worked out great for my party of 25! Plenty of room for us to stand or sit comfortably. The BBQ was tasty and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. It was very clean and welcoming. Definitely consider this place for small to large parties!

Tom Marion: excellent cream ale and cool spot

Rui Almeida: It was a great place to hangout and have drinks.

Tony Saccomanno: At least great beer covers for bad service. Oh wait....One hospitable server but it seemed like everyone hated their job.

Erwin Gove: Finally found a place on the East Coast who brews a very good beer. Highly recommend this place.

Laura Chu: Trillium is the best brewery in town! Extensive selection of beers, including amazing IPAs, DIPAs, a couple of delicious sours, and stouts. They don’t do flights but you can get 5 oz pours instead of the regular 10 oz. There was plenty of seating space and service was friendly. They also have a full food menu, although food took a very long time and we waited over an hour for a fried chicken sandwich and the pasta dish on a Friday at 1:45 pm.

Peter Disch: Great beer, awesome food, and nice people in a cool space. Always worth stopping in for a beer when nearby.

Paul Stoddard: The impy stout La Rien à Nuit collab w/ J. Wakefield is 🤯🤯🤯. Trillium just doesn't miss.

Brian Reynolds: Excellent beer and knowledgeable staff, good food. Can be overly crowded.

Tim Marinelli: This is the quintessential Boston bar: an crowded, overpriced dump with entitled bartenders who act like you should be thanking them for the privilege of waiting for a beer.

Alex Verhaegen: Definitely one of the fineet breweries around downtown area. Food was good, we ordered the spicy chicken dip with the scallop thingy and it was great. The beer was fantastic and they had some of the best selections.

Steve P: Fantastic brussel sprouts. Very good IPAs and thick flavorful stouts.

Raj Sheth: Great great spot with amazing beers!

rakesh dhawan: I went here for a weekend Brunch with group of friends. Tried couple of their stouts (Irish Stout and PM Dawn) and my friends liked the IPA's (DDH and Dial up the seven). We got the pretzels and chicken wings for appetizers. For entree we got the salads and the pesto pasta. Will definitely go here for the beers, not so much for the food!

Jim Haynie: Great food and great space. Enjoyed the experience.

Johnny Chiodini: Exceptional beers in a lovely environment with friendly, attentive staff

James Neale: Beer selection and quality is excellent. Unfortunately, the food took an hour to come out and is overpriced for what it is. Vibe is decent, place was quite busy for a Monday, probably due to trivia night.

Ryan Brown: The burger is bland and the service is slow.

Ab Cd: The best food i love it

Adam Havens: As soon as we got seated at our table we spot a bunch of mice running around in the room next to us. We told a waitress and then they turned off the light to that room now the mice are running through a space in the windows next to us. Service seems fine but i dont trust an establishment that allows mice to free roam the restaurant.

Matthew Nores: Absolutely disgusting. Multiple mice on the 2nd floor reserve room that wasn't being used but has glass windows that you can see through from the main room. Upon letting the staff know, they turned off the lights to the reserve room so you couldn't see the mice. Disgusting, and the staff were not concerned in the slightest

Lisa Neefe: Let me first say: the beer is the draw. Go just for the beer. The brewmaster knows his craft and I will rave about the beer all day, every day. The food? Not so much. It’s edible. It’s not impressive. You can get a much better burger and a much better fry pretty much anywhere. I would love to be able to write an over-the-top review for the entire experience, but the atmosphere and the food were pretty pedestrian. But the beer…❤️…it’s what elevated a 2-star review to a 4.

Brian Castelluccio: Another top notch St. Patrick’s Day weekend currently underway at Trillium Canton. Big thanks to Mark, who delivered superb service as always. Fish sandwich and shepherd’s pie were unbeatable- would be great to keep them on the menu.

Liz: great selection, friendly staff, convenient location & hours, and very reasonable prices - fenway beer shop has become my go-to for beer, wine, and any other type of alcohol!

Nevin Marshall: Was hard to find I walked by 2 times with out seeing

Miranda Vanek: Was directed here to hold my backpack for the Fenway Park tour for $5. I was a little nervous but everything worked out (obviously I took my valuables with me).They have a huge beer selection and we always like to bring home local beers. Price wasn't bad and both guys that helped us were nice and knowledgeable when asking for beer suggestions.

Moshe Hazoom: Great ordering service and nice staff!

Dominik Kacperski: Very friendly staff

Nicholas Pabon: Nice bottle shop with a good selection of Northeast crafts and imports

Vance Blankers: Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, very solid selection, and has a great rewards/loyalty program.

Shannon Hill: As out of towners, we wanted to find a place with a variety of beer from Mass and the New England area. The woman at the counter offered some great recommendations and had a variety of choices.

lauren peter: Knowledgeable and friendly people. Fabulous selection of kombucha rounds out the beer/cider/wine usual suspects

G H: Nice beer selection and I love that you can buy singles. I always buy too many when I stop in. They have a nice selection of local favorites and other craft favorites. Stop in and check it out.

Curt Davis: Very friendly atmosphere. We were visiting fr9m oit of town, and I asked the gentleman to pick out four great beers and asked what good drinks he could recommend for my wife. He picked four great beers, and drinks for my wife. Ohh The Lamplighter "Jazz from hell" was a great choice. Cheers

Warren Hill: Great little store with extensive selection of beers and very friendly staff

John Reha: Great beer selection

John Herrick: Love it

Daniela Herrera: I'm out of state and wanted to get a friend in Boston a giftcard, and Jana was super helpful. She took down all my information, coordinated with said friend, and was incredibly lovely. Thank you so much for all of your help and for the well wishes, Jana!

Jack Buchanan: The beer selection was impressive as was the choice selection of bourbon, whiskeys and rums. Much care goes into the selections in the store.

Adam S: Fantastic selection, appreciate the whole build-your-own-six-pack thing.

Lewis Fenoglietto: Best selection in Boston. I've never left disappointed.

Jana Scholten: Great selections!

Briana M: Absolutely amazing beer shop! They put together a package of beers according to the taste of my soon to be brother-in-law for Christmas! My fiancé and I live far away and we’re unable to spend time together for Christmas unfortunately. Thankfully, it was a great present and he’s enjoying the selection! Thank you!!!

Emily Schackmuth: About as useful as the beertender who answered my friend’s questions. We were just looking for a quick pit stop for a brew, and the one beertender was extremely rude and uninterested in answering any questions we had regarding all things beer related. Beer was mediocre at best coming from people who know their beer and was looking for something new. The customer service was not up to par. Would not recommend.

Evgenia D: I wanted to like it, but it was simply mediocre. Very basic beer, food is just not good. Salmon burger didn't taste salmon. Generous portions stuffed with carbs and fat. Not creative in any way. Certainly a place to stuff one's stomach, but far from a place to enjoy a good meal + beer.

Jaye Aster Broder: Nice large space would be good for happy hours of moderately sized groups. We enjoyed trying the flight of beers. The ‘taste the rainbow’ tastes more like juice or kombucha. We liked the IPAs. We did not try any of the food here but it seemed consistent with Cambridge pub food. I’d come back here.CBC would be better if the flight tasting cards were designed so that the labels were wide enough to actually align with the beers (right now there is a CBC logo that is a bit unnecessary and takes up space). The menu also list types of glasses rather than volume for the beers, which can be difficult to interpret. There are two doors to get to the bathroom so you have to use your hands to open the second door. It would be nice if they either put a trash can near the door to open with a paper towel and discard or a foot pull to reduce exposure if other people haven’t washed their hands as thoroughly

EduArdo Omondi: Wonderful spot for a fantastic hoppy beer. Great food too!

Alexandra Grigore: The menu is absolutely underwhelming…and the service is as precarious .I highly recommend avoiding this place!

Chris Nox: Avoid. The service is horrible. Took more than an hour to get any food. Don’t spoil your mood in this place.

David Grout: Went with a large group. Good beer selection, mediocre food. Calamari was mushy, burgers were bland.

Malcolm Mayfield: Was great but difficult to order with shellfish allergiesFood: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

E Rowland: Went for a drink and asked to sit in the sun on the patio. The waiter said sure and sat our party of 2 at a table of 6. We suggested breaking the table out to not take up so many seats, despite the fact there were multiple other empty tables and the restaurant was not busy. We were told it was fine to sit at the larger table. Shortly after, another server came over and asked us to move. After explaining the situation, this server still insisted we move tables because this one was reserved for larger parties. There wasn’t even a larger party waiting on the table. They lost our business and it was a terrible first time experience. I will not be returning. I will also refrain from purchasing any Cambridge brewery beers at other establishments moving forward.

Mahlon Deneault: Excellent beer, the barely triple was outstanding and the eggplant fries were on point.Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Kallen Tu: At night, fish of the day was out. The beers and cider were pretty good, but on a windy, rainy night, the inside seats were actually fairly cold.We had to wait around 40 minutes to get a large table.The miso salmon tasted pretty good, although the portion was a tad small.

Karl henry: Mediocre food (the hummus salad bowl was literally just hummus, the coleslaw on the chicken sandwich was dry and flavorless) BUT the beer was delicious and the service was great.

Jessica Grant: Great food and service! The brussels sprouts were especially awesome and I really enjoyed the If You Like Pina Coladas IPA.The staff was very friendly and attentive for the event I was part of hosting.Parking: There was much more street parking than I was expecting, which was refreshing. Just note that you can only park in a zone for two hours max and have to move it outside of the zone for the app to allow you to pay for more parking.

Tanya Melnikova: Beer is good, atmosphere is great but not great selection of ipas. Ipa and double dry ipa taste pretty much same.

Linda Corcoran: I came here for dinner with my partner tonight and I had a horrendous experience. The host was incredibly kind and sweet but our server David was absolutely obnoxious. He never cared to introduce himself and when I asked why he was rushing me and my partner he simply said he was very busy and we could leave if we wanted to. It started to rain and the host told us we could move under the canopy to which David our “server” started to berate the host in Spanish. Thank you to the host for putting his foot down and demanded that we must move due to the rain because we were afraid of David. We spent over $250 but David made us feel like we were doing him a favor. The host was incredibly apologetic for David’s behavior and we appreciate host, he was a very kind and warm young man. But we will never return because of David, he was out of control, rude and cold. My partner left in tears because David was as so rude.

Michael Narbut: I am a long time customer of your brewery having dined at your Kendalll Square establishment for many years going back to 2006. While I have taken a break since 2019 I recently returned to in person dining today. I regret to say my experience was less than satisfactory. I have had more than 90 unique brews up until today. I entered the establishment slightly after 2:00 PM today 9/9/2022. I proceeded to the bar to order a Doctor's Note pilsner. The waiter did not greet himself, tell me his name, or inquire how I was doing. Very nonchalant. I sipped on my beer and when it was time to order my second round Daryl S. was nowhere to be found. I waited nearly 10 minutes at which point I asked a hostess to pour me a teardrop of Pina Colada. That went unanswered. At which point I asked another hostess to pour it which she kindly did. All is well at this point. When Daryl returned he promptly gave me my recipt as if to expect I was leaving; I was not. When I ordered my third beer he said this is your last. Um, excuse me? When I asked why he said, "I am not going to watch you pound beers all afternoon." By the way, I sipped on two beers over 45-50 minutes. This does not qualify as pounding. For the most part he was not at the bar so how could he say I am watching you all afternoon. Note, there were only two other customers at the bar and they had left after one drink when he told me this. After questioning he said all right I'm taking your beer away from you. He quickly snatched it and took it off the bill and would not allow me to order bottles from the cooler. Note, I drove over an hour to get to your facility specifically meant to order many of your expensive brewery specific releases. I asked Daryl if I was impaired. He gave a blank stare and said what part of ordering no more alcohol don't you understand? I said this is no way to treat paying customers who are quiet and accomodating. He proceeded to ask me if you want to buy alcohol there is a liquor store down the street. Are you kidding me? He also aske me what I do for work. What bearing does that have to do with this situation. He insulted my customer service aptitude which is extremely unprofessional. I told him I am a Principal IT Systems Engineer but again this is irrevelant. I left disgusted and very much dismayed at how such as manager can run a brewery. Please speak with him and share my experience. There is no place for such behavior in any customer-centric hospitality business.

Orsini: If a manager is willing to lose a customer for life over not topping off a pitcher that was not properly poured , what does that say about an establishment? Ordered over 250 dollars btw

Jea Kim: Good place to get basic pub foods and beer.Came here on a weekday after work. I've had CBC beers from other restaurants in the area, and my friends and I decided to check them out. The patio was almost full, so we grabbed one of the tables inside which was essentially empty at the time.We got the Thai Curry fried chicken sandwich and the fried calamari with their in-house beers. Compared to other popular pubs in Boston, the food here was a bit lacking. Calamari wasn't very crispy and the fried chicken sandwich was also a bit dry. Nevertheless, they are still a decent option if you're looking to grab a drink and their in-house beers are solid.

Brittney: The worst service I’ve ever received. We called ahead of time to inform them of a large group, the said ok no problem we arrive and their was attitude at the door. I’ve never seen or experience this level of disrespect

Nick Maus: Extremely rude server with a short temper and bad attitude. Beer was good, but many comments from the server ruined our experience. Will not be back.

Luke Barbarich: Very cool environment with tasty beers and a really good fried chicken sandwich. The staff were nice and it was in a great location. I really enjoyed the IPA and the stout on draft.

Brian Fernholz: Burnt buffalo wings, but great sweet potato fries. short rib sandwich was tender bird but tasted only like onion. overall disappointed, but like the ambiance

Mark Kilgallon: An excellent bar in the centre of town. The beers are great, really nice food and our bartender Claudia was so helpful. Would recommend to anyone

Raymond Sarabia: Good spot, nice chill atmosphere, and service was great. Ordered a flight, nice selection of darker beers, they were good. Food was also good, ordered a burger and fries.Recommended dishes Worker's Pint American Blonde, Beer Flight …More

Donavan Kennedy: Great spot for local beers with friendly staff

Lolita L: They ignored me and a friend for a good fifteen minutes as we sat at the bar. Literally took two OTHER people's orders that came up behind us to get a drink. THEN threw a fit and said hey can you take our order please the kitchen is closing and I've been waiting. "Oh sorry we are busy and can only do so much at once" well maybe start with the people who are literally sitting in front of you before randoms that just walked up.

Howie Li: Service is good. The staff has good humor

Joshua Altemoos: A modern brewery with a good range of brews all named after different historical figures or events throughout western democracy. The brews I had were great, so was the fried cauliflower. The hildago was a good fruited sour and the Grand Hecker is a good Irish ale.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Everything …More

Steven Al Feather: According to staff, it was unusually busy for a Thursday night. No seating or standing room, tho I did try the 1916 stout, and it was good.The hostest was really cool and friendly. She took the time to talk with us, and when she found out we were in town from Maine, she told us all about the new tap room they are building in Lewiston, Maine.I'm looking forward to trying more of their brews soon in Maine.

Alyssa Sierra: Great beer! Great burger! Great atmosphere!

michael eriksen: This was a great place for lunch and beer. The only downside is there was no childs menu. I would say half of the patrons had childeren under 12. Why not cater to your customers? Again the food and beer were great but I probably wouldn't go again.

Sabrina Amiri: If you were a hipster in 2008 this place is going to play all of your favorite jams. If you weren't, the beer and ambiance are lovely.

Filip Galiza: Last Sunday evening I had a chance to dine and drink here and it was a wonderful experience. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with beautiful architecture and something that feels very colonial, historical, beautiful and boastful. We were greeted by very friendly staff and treated very well. As for the pub food and brews, everything was quite delicious and done with quality in mind. I am very much looking forward to returning here and enjoying more from their large menu of meals and beers. Wonderful brews, a fantastic kitchen and super friendly staff makes this place an absolute must. If you want something that is sure to be Boston iconic, this is the place!

Dominique Luongo: Good food, good drinks, and nice atmosphere. Plus, very easy to get to from the t.

Sean L: They have a great variety of delicious beers. Whether you like light, ipa’s, sours, or something else, they have it! Their staff are also very on top of it too. Add this place to the list to check out!

Ted H: Nice atmosphere with great beer, and surprisingly good pizza!

Luke Barbarich: The Santilli IPA is one of the best IPAs I've ever had. I loved it. The brewery was really cool and quite large. I had the Fluffy as well and it was a great IPA too. Highly recommend!

Shailja Somani: Great food, service, & atmosphere. They let you try small pours of the beers. Caesar salad and rosemary & truffle fries were both delicious and tasted very fresh.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Rosemary Truffle Fries …More

Ammar Alkass: Can't believe a brewery in the heart of Boston next to sports arena closes 10pm on Saturday in April! Beers were good, pizzas were delisous and the fries we crisp and amazing. Service was below average and waiters did not seam to care (maybe there were tired at end of shift at 10pm!).Food: 4/5|Service: 2/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Kyla Gunnell: The food was delicious, the service was good. When my friends and I went they were out of an item I wanted. Aside that wonderful experience. The music was also very outdated. My friends stated the beers they had were good. I also liked that the bathrooms were very clean.

Ben Olson: Recommended dishes NachosMore

D.: Lovely area, right next to the water. Fish tacos were very good, and they even had craft sodas. The soda was made right here in Massachusetts. The NSB burger was great. Didn't like the fried pickles (they were still a little greasy).Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Harman Chawla: Fajita Pizza

Sara Stiklickas: I love coming here for dinner and a beer. The menu changes somewhat frequently, but there’s always a great selection. You can’t go wrong with the Detroit-style pizzas or the burger and sandwiches, plus they have lots of TVs, making it a good spot to watch a game.

James Neale: Great brewery and sports bar! Beer is simply fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable service, food is mouth watering tooFood: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Tierney Winter: The atmosphere here was awesome. Service was friendly, just wasn’t a huge fan of the beers. Lots of seating and TVs for entertainment. They also had some fun giveaways that I would’ve been interested in if I lived in the area.

Stephanie Durkacz: Good beers, fun vibe

Jo B: Went after a bruins game so it was very busy. Staff was attentive but not on the same page. Sat with appetizers in front of us for 10 minutes before getting plates and utensils.. even after asking multiple people. Food was good. Chicken sandwich was great and pizza was great. Portions are very large. Reasonably priced for an expensive area.

S PJ: Update Feb 2023Had one of the best burgers ever! And delicious and small fries. Best to be eaten while hotChanged to 5 starUpdate April 2022Food remains to be deliciousIt seems they changed the menu and for the better if you ask me.Great pizza and ok friesService is good and terrace overlooking the water is nice too

Paul Kernfeld: Solid beers, lots of normal people hanging out

Brooke Dexter: This is a spot I always want to visit when I’m visiting Boston. Even though I don’t drink many types of beer, they have a wide selection of beer they brew here. It’s a great place to get some work done with solid wifi, lots of seating types, coffee and beer, and plenty of food options from the coffee shop.

Gio Mgaloblishvili: Coffee is decent but they play super loud pop music. Maybe it’s intended to get people to leave sooner so they get more customers. Anyways the music is the kind of corporate pop you’d hear at a Whole Foods or a CVS.

Karlyne Trachy: Nous avons adoré cette micro. Les bières sont excellentes et le service aussi.

Eazy: Beers are good. Bathrooms are highly confusing and made me feel uncomfortable.

Andrew Zoller: Great beer, great vibe, coffee shop hybrid as well. Date spot or friend hangout, definitely worth a visit.

Chris Reilly: Great ambiance, really nice staff, decent beer. I would definitely go back.

Jaye Aster Broder: Nice brewery that’s accessible but not super close to the T stops. It had a fun vibe with and front and back tap room. There is food available but the brewery doesn’t seem to forecast as well and sold out of most snacks before 6pm so it might be best to only come here for beer. There are no cocktails or wine sold here. The beer prices are a little high for 12 oz servings rather than a pint but the tasting flights looked well-priced. The bathrooms are semi gender neutral but a little confusing.

R H: Racist!!!I am a 25 year old black woman and this was a dominantly white bar. Keep I’m mind that many of my coworkers had expired IDs and I was the ONLY one they were watching and TARGETED! I went with my coworkers and boss for a company happy hour. They first REFUSED to let me in since my ID was a month past the expiration date. However, after speaking to management they let me go to my work event. During the event I had a drink and the assistant manager immediately snatched my drink from the table and forced me to leave. The bar didn’t even use an ID scanner to make sure IDs were valid. They also did not restrict other non Black or white attendees with expired IDs from drinking which means I was targeted on purpose.

Tanashya Batra: If I could give this place zero stars I would. They targeted my black Co-worker because she had an expired ID when two of us also had expired ids. They singled her out and treated her with utter disrespect and contempt. They threatened to kick her out of the group when we were all there for a work event. We were honestly so shocked we got up and left.

Shiran Soholitsky: Love this place, they have different food pop up every night and a lot of social activities (trivia nights, comedy shows, The Bachelor screening every Monday, art craft workshops, movie night once a month and a lot more). The Beer is great, a lot of different beers to choose from. This is a self-service bar, so sometimes the line can be a little long.There are games you can play with friends, nice music and a great vibe. Note that the food pop-up is on limited hours, so check on their Instagram or website.

Gabrielle Patick: Got yelled at for playing kings with four people over the age of 25 in a controlled setting 3

KR Marañon: Beer on tap doesn’t miss, they appeal to all palettes when it comes to their variety of selection. It’s your college bar, so the appeal towards trendier things are apparent. Good vibes!

Chris McCarthy: Good vibes, good beer. What more could you want?

Evan: Staff is so friendly and amazing, especially love the pepita coffee crew in the morning! Such friendly faces.

Sarrah Marcotte: Sweet environment, good snacks, good kombucha, and they have packed trivia nights, and tons of games there which we love from a brewery. Also was loving the artwork there, cool spot.

Howard Phillips: The brews and the atmosphere are always wonderful, even on a slow day at the start of the New Year! I do hope there’s not a return of the ‘bartender looking the other way’ trend that has thankfully vanished since lockdown era… this is the second time in a couple months where that ‘game’ seems to be creeping back - say it ain’t so! This is a such a great venue!

justin gibbs: Went there for New Years Eve, and champagne was included. I've had a lot of champagne served. No champagne ever got poured from a tupperwear drink container. Always from the bottle. Until last night anyway.Difficulty finding staff. There were no staff members in front. After 5 minutes of waiting, finally someone showed their face.The drinks here I find very sweet.

Amir Aharoni: An excellent microbrewery. A large variety of beers, draft and cans, and they are tasty and unique. Very nice staff, too. A wonderful find. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇲❤️🍻(In the same space there's also a very good café. The two businesses are friendly to each other, but they have separate cashiers and they are open in different hours.)

John Salisz: The seating was limited
