Cindy Lam: We came from a late show and wanted some food and wow did we land on a pleasant surprise! The bartender was extremely kind and even showed us their new cocktail lounge The Wig Shop. The chicken wings were incredible! A+++
K Q: I understand that fancy burgers are usually great at Medium/Medium Well, but if you’re going to serve them that way, it should be known. I assume that since you didn’t ask, my burger would’ve been fully cooked. I am pregnant and needed my burger fully cooked due to the raw meat (bacteria, etc, etc). I was fully prepared to answer how I wanted it cooked, but was never asked. It came out pink. Luckily my husband had a different meal with fully cooked meat and he offered to switch plates with me.
Annaliese Heindel: Love JMs go often, great cocktail, caramelized onions in the burger are iconic. Nashville hot fried chicken isnt too hot, franks red hot level, still a pleasant sandwich! I would just call it something else cause it’s on a italian sub bread
Aine Ni Thuathail: This was just ok, the food was not great, fries were cold and hard, burger was not great really. Atmosphere was nice for drinks but can’t recommend for foodVegetarian options: Very little choice

Kelsey Perkins: My friend and I tried JM Curley after I waited too long and our usual Boston haunt was booked for a night when we were coming into town for a show. Now it's going to be a real hard choice the next time we're back in the area! JM Curley was a treat as soon as we walked in the door, all waitstaff was friendly and the vibe was on point. Modern speakeasy but not the same overdone trope that imitators try to copy.Our food was amazing, we had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the Bodega chopped cheese. We both got the shoe stringfries and my only regret is that one of us didn't get the sweet potato fries so we could have sampled.We also had the beignets for dessert which really sealed the deal. But I have to come back because there were plenty of things I wanted to try.Had three different cocktails and a sip of my friends and all were perfectly balanced.Finally the very important cherry on the top of the cake was the signage throughout speaking up against bad/rude customers. As a veteran in the service industry it goes a long way seeing something like that, and the signage in the women's bathroom spoke even louder. Thanks for a fantastic meal and experience JM Curley!

The Bell In Hand Tavern: what do users think?
Christy Reed: Great food and beer.
Gerald Mahon: First time there on this trip to Boston. The food was great and I love the atmosphere and people
Diego Eduardo Gómez Cárdenas: Very rude staff. If you don’t want to work go somewhere else please.
surya varchasvi: America's Oldest Tavern 😮Pre-independence 🇺🇲Comedy shows on Tuesday night
rafael g: Nice place and good customer service.
Georgia Syrnioti: We had the hot lobster roll! It was so delicious! Definitely recommended!
Eva Marie Ballew: Karaoke Tuesday nights!
Enrique Vila: La mejor sopa de cangrejo, crema, de Boston. Sin duda. Mencionar la simpatía de la camarera serbia que nos atendió, un encanto y un lujo tenerla ahí. Cuidenla
Joseph Lagalla: The atmosphere is quintessentially Boston and the menu reflects that with typical New England fare. The location is great, the staff are friendly, and the pricing is reasonable. I'd recommend visiting just for the above. The food however was a little underwhelming. Nothing was done badly, but it seemed like it may have been prepared ahead of time without much passion.
Sophie Brown: Saturday night, $10 cover, there was a live band down stairs which was fun and a dj upstairs. The nachos were horrid. Overall not a bad place
Michael Wiggin: Eh, decent dance floor and DJ but drinks r typical club fare. overpriced and watered down, and slow. They overpack this bar and it’s annoying. waited in an hour long line to get upstairs. rude staff.
Ben Lundquist: What a cool historic little spot right on the Freedom Trail!This was one of the places I'd wanted to check out prior to visiting Boston.The food was good and the environment was cozy. It's hard to find a seat when the Bruins are playing, but I think that adds to the charm.
Champion G: Oldest tavern in United states
Jim Long: Great history, nice people great food.
Adrian Haywas: Cool to see this historic place. Nice atmosphere. Good beer. Good food. Would return and do recommend.
Stacy: Great place to visit while in Boston
Lenny Dos: One of the coolest bars in Boston!They always have great bands there downstairs. Then when you get ready to really boogie you can go upstairs where there is a Dj who spins music that is very easy to enjoy and dance to. The staff at the door is very cool but professional and have great customer service. Security is on point .Bartenders are easy going and prompt with service. Safe place to party and enjoy!
William Brightenburg: Awesome place. Good food and very attentive staff
Denise Bosma: Sat outside on a beautiful afternoon, service was great. Clam chowder very tasty, shared a burger with my granddaughter because it was huge, and delicious. Not much for kids menu, good size portions.
Mike Brookes: Great historic bar, Sam Adams bell in hand beer was great. Bar should add rum to there menu. Didn't see any drinks with rum in them on the menu.
Denise Garry: Service was great. Burger mid. Lobster roll. Meh. $35 ! I guess I’m just not a fan.

Lucky's Lounge: what do users think?
Nick Delaney: Pretty lowkey, solid drinks.
Aaron Podhajecki: Typical dive bar. Last time I was there has turned me off the place as the bartenders were extremely rude to me but yet not to my coworkers
Stacy Moore Lynch: Excellent service appreciate the level of attention from the staff who appreciated that we visited compared to other places. Thank you
Joe Barry: Great vibe, fun place !!!
laia perez fonullet: NO NOS DEJARON ENTRAR PORNO TENER EL PASSAPORTE. Pero teniamos foto y dni aun asi no nos dejaron EL PORTERO CON UNOS AIRES DE SUPERIORIDAD INCREIBLES. NUNCA MAS VOLVERE NI LO RECOMENDARE A NADIE
E. S.: Loved it. Atmosphere was reminiscent of an old, underground gentlemen's club that got invaded by college kids. Came there for my (belated) birthday dinner. Staff is cool. Drinks are good. Steak and cheese was bomb. Will be back.
Sean Peaslee: Always fun when it's not too crowded
Aaron Slessinger: Close to the Omni with a fun atmosphere.
Dan Januszek: Cool vibe and excellent Guinness pour.
Kelley Jacobs: Fun place!
Ashwin Varghese: Amazing vibes
Joshua Wolf Coleman: Cool enough, but filled with youngsters and — they don’t have live music anymore!!!
Kayla K: Go here if you want your VALID ID TAKEN AWAY. Talked down to and told I should call the cops if I wanted to prove that my ID was real.
ebru sözer: Muhteşem
Doug Roberts: Retro dive stylings, amazing pub food and great daily specials make this place a hidden gem. Can’t wait to go back!
Tony Buelsing: Tried to go to comedy night, bouncer claimed that my real ID was fake and I would have to call the police to get it back, so I did. They showed up and got it back, but the bouncer continued to insist to them that it was fake so despite the police telling them it wasn’t, I was told that I still wouldn’t be allowed inside.
Mark Diethelm: An actual divider bar in the seaport. I hope it never closes. Great atmosphere, chill crowd, good times.
GrosTaco: Been to a stand up show on a monday !
Amy Gabel: Divine fish and chips.
Chocobo Pie: The menu is really fun and it has a very tucked in, old Boston sorta vibe.
Matthew Mattson: Always fun, good atmosphere, and affordable drinks for seaport

Drink: what do users think?
Karina: Asked to be surprised with a whiskey based drink, got a whiskey sour. So innovative 🤦‍♀️
Devdav Newar: This is place was recommended by a lot of people and we were finally able to get a spot. You need to come in early and wait in line to get in but its all worth the wait. The concept of this place is great. A bartender asks you the alcohol base and flavours you like and then he works his magic and mixes an amazing cocktail. There is no menu so you can ask for anything. We were 5 people and everyone gave their own wish list for the bartender to work his magic. Our favourite was this vodka and saffron based drink that he made and it was one of the best cocktails I have had ever. The other ones were also great. There was nothing that we did not like. They have a small menu for food as well. We got the fries and churros to go along with the drinks and its the best combination ever. Its a great place for a night out.
Sara Ansari: The bartenders here are gifted. There’s no drink menu, you tell them what you want and they make their concoction. Say what you want - vodka, lime, agave, whatever - and the drinks they make are unbelievable. And if you don’t know what you want and say something like a dirty martini, it still comes out better than any other place.
Bert Thurlo-Walsh: We came tonight and requested a specific bartender (gentleman with beard) and the response from the bartender was less than respectful. When asked for drinks we were met with facial disdain and attitude. The response about our request was to go elsewhere. Well, we did and will NEVER return or recommend Drink again. Barbara Lynch prides herself on quality and this was much less than that…rather unfortunate. Our friends said it had gone downhill and we felt that was not true; however, they were correct. We cannot and will not recommend Drink!!! We have been to other restaurants of Barbara Lynch’s and the treatment and attitude was unwelcome at Drink.
Courtney Klein: I love this place!!! Luke made my friend and I the best drinks we’ve ever had in our lives 🤩 will definitely be going back!
Mika: Very cool experience! Waited about 10 minutes in line on a Friday night to get in. The atmosphere was very nice. The experience of explaining what kinds of flavors/liquors you like then getting a customized drink was very unique and fun! The bartender was professional and knowledgeable. Admittedly, the drinks were not my favorite, but they were so different and quirky that they felt specially designed for me.
Jim Ratliff: Over crowded. Over loud. Over priced. Long wait at 4:30 pm on a Saturday. No seating available, had to stand. Decent custom $20 cocktails.
Alexandros Zervos: Service is way too slow despite the good drinks.
Emily Hamman: Super cool experience at Drink! The bartender, Frederic, had a great personality and his extensive knowledge on drinks was crazy. We had to wait over an hour to get in (arrived at about 8 PM on a Saturday) but it was worth it! Drinks were awesome.Updating my review:Came back here when I had guests in town. Another great experience - didn’t have to wait at all on a Thursday evening, drinks & food were great. Churros were tasty but the chocolate sauce they were served with was weird with them. Fries were really good and large. My guests said it may be the best espresso martinis they’ve had!
Yehonatan Meshali: Nice place,The concept is so cool! They will ask you what kind of tastes you like and creat the perfect drink
Joseph Doyle: Great drinks. Had two very different and very excellent riffs on an old fashioned. Also great burgers and fries. Looking forward to coming back.
Raj Sheth: Such a fun spot.I'll always love a bar where creativity is king. Hunter was our bartender and he was fantastic. Making drinks based on flavor profiles is hard and he really just hit the nail on the head with a lot of his drinks.The biggest winner was definitely our last drink, he made a bananas foster kind of espresso martini - it was amazing,
Sarah: Overall a really fun and different experience than your typical bar. I was with a group of 6 and we were invited in to standing room only and then moved (by the staff) to stools when seating became available thus changing the bartender who was serving us. Our new bartended ignored us to the point it was comical with others around us acknowledging that we were addressing him to no avail. When we finally got his attention to order he would only listen to one person before turning away and hearing the rest of our orders. At one point one of us ordered and then he took and made multiple orders of others. We waited to so long for this drink that we had to tell him not to make it because we had to leave for a dinner reservation. When we got our bill, we were charged for one extra drink. I addressed this with the bartender and he was unwilling to help. Granted, we switch bartenders in the middle of our visit so it’s understandable that a mistake happened but he simply insisted that he made us 2 drinks and that was our bill. Pretty infuriating given the price of the drinks and the automatically added 20% tip. I think the bar itself has amazing potential, but please address the downright rude employee who was working in the large center bar on the side furthest from the door on the night on 3/8.
Jonah Weitzel: Different concept
Roberto Cibrian: Fantastic experience with great drinks an food. Line can be long but it is totally worth it.
R: I was so excited to bring my wife to my favorite bar in Boston, Drink, for her birthday. We got to the place and waited in line for about an hour, but I assured her it would be worth it. We eventually made it in, 30 minutes later, someone came by with water and asked us for our drink preferences. He made us a drink each and then left. We were there for 3 more hours and no one even looked in our direction, let alone asked us if we would like another drink or even to close out our tab. They were, however, extremely friendly with the groups around us - to the left and right of us- joking around, refilling their waters, others were even on their 3rd or 4th round. It honestly felt like they were avoiding us the entire night. No one acknowledged us at all. I've never felt so unwelcome before.I will not be coming back here. The idea was fun but the service was extremely unwelcoming and definitely not worth the $32 I paid for 2 drinks.This experience seems consistent with other 1 star reviews.
Mike DeLuise: Apparently Sportello and Drink have the same ownership, one could not tell from the experiences we had. The waitress at Sportello was fantastic and offered to get us into Drink downstairs. As soon as we entered Drink, we went to the bar to order a …. drink. The bartenders basically told us to F off. So we left and will never return.
Sara Wolfe: We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Drink. Our party of three waited about 15-20 minutes on a Saturday night around 7. Completely worth it. Roberto took care of us and was amazing. He was so friendly and really helped make our experience. We loved each drink, and they really did seem tailored to whatever we asked for. The fries were also killer. Highly recommend!
John Beebe: Took my girlfriend for a couple drinks before dinner. It’s impossible not to have a good time here. This was the best spot to start the night. In fact, we had such a great time, we returned for a nightcap. Staff is unbelievably awesome - Thanks, Alan!
Tom McManus: Potentially the best cocktail bar in Boston. This place is carefully staffed with fantastic, highly creative mixologists. The drinks are outrageously good and there are some decent food options. The line can get really long so plan to come early.
John Wiesemann: Food options are much better than they were before 2020. Drink options are great as always, it's fun to play the game and explore new drinks with the bartenders.

Tommaso Giampapa: Amazing seafood. You can tell it's fresh and the recipes are great. The mussels I got were so good. Interesting artwork and history all over the walls. The restaurant has tons of old timey history, and it's very interesting to see it evolve with the city of Boston.Dietary restrictions: Didn't have an issue with a peanut allergy.
Villo Popo: Excelente 👌Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Stuart Boffin: We booked a table in advance and were guided through to sit by two staff which we did. The internal maitre d then approached and barked orders at us stating we should have informed her prior to sitting which ruined the experience before it began. They need to alter their tagline from 'Boston's Oldest' to 'Boston's Rudest'. Average and overpriced food too. Avoid and go to nearby Quincy Market instead.
Patricia Liminier: La maison est très belle, la serveuse est sympathique…MAIS le repas ne vaut absolument pas le prix payé. Même le saumon n’est pas bon et la salade Caesar est médiocre.

Steve: TOURIST TRAP! When I walked in and asked for a food menu because I was interested in a lobster roll the moment I saw that they were $40 I ran out of there immediately almost screaming shenanigans. As a guy who is from Maine if you want good lobster, go anywhere on the coast of Maine Don’t pay $40 for a mediocre lobster roll.
Daniel Askari: Wonderful lobster rolls, topped with the best oysters I’ve had yet. What a wonderful experience . The history of this place is breathtaking and overwhelming. Definitely a must when in the area.
Derek Cheung: Sat at the raw bar, was genuinely impressed with the oyster shuckers skills as I seldomly shuck oysters for my family and it's not easy and he made it looked easy, praised him for his skills and tried to start a conversation asking how long he's been doing this for and his response with a cold rude tone was, since 10am... I clarified my question and his response was... 1 day... me and my buddy looked at each other and know we're in for a pretty fun meal...The 2 dozen oysters and clams was fresh but given the attitude, it didn't taste good at all and although we were still hungry, we didn't order more...He was definitely not someone that's anti social as he had no issue talking with other customers... maybe because we're asian... Anyhow, other customers get a big thank you with a smile when they get their bill, so I paid attention to it when we asked for ours and not to my surprise, just handed the bill to the table without a word...Will never go back and will definitely not recommend this place...
Dean Gray: Great Staff.Great Food and Drink!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Ben McGuire: I didn’t have high expectations for the food since I knew this was pretty much a tourist only attraction. The food was actually really good. The oysters were phenomenal, better than the other oysters I ate while here in Boston. I would’ve been disappointed if they hadn’t been good, as they’ve been doing this for almost 200 years now. The corn bread was good. The clam chowder was warm and hearty, perfect for a cold, rainy day. I thought it was neat that they had an exclusive lager from Sam Adams. Our server was great. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. A must if you are visiting from out of town.
Marc Schnur: Clam chowder was not too bad. Bloody Mary was not good at all. Poor Man's Lobster lacked salt or seasoning as well as the Grilled Scallops and Shrimp dish. Ice tea was good. Would give it another try if I was in town, but wouldn't be my first choice. Waiter was great.Parking: Drove around for 15 minutes trying to find parking.
Leslie Bottigoni: The ambiance and clamChowder were the only thing I would visit for- I had the lazy man lobster dish, my husband had the shrimp scampi, crab cake and stuffed clamTo startAll were underwhelming, bland and not at all worth the high price chargedThe lazy man was served with inedible rice and more bread crumb than lobster - it was like a dig search to find the lobster and unfortunately found a shell in the dig lol - my entree came out still frozen in the centre - had to be returned and they brought out a new one for me -Should have asked them to nix the breadcrumbs .My husbands scampi was tasteless and bland. The stuffed clam was again - mostly bread crumb and the crab cakes were also not fresh as far as we could tell. So disappointing-Save your money and go to red lobster instead. Our bill was 350$ and it was easily one ofThe worst meals we had all stay in Boston.Go in for a drink and the chowder and save your $ for a worthy dinner outOur friends had the seafood platter - everything was deep fried and tasteless. They were equally disappointedServer was pleasant
Serge Mikertichyan: Good Lobster, waiter was helpful. Sides were decent. They give cornbread to start.Recommended dishes Lazy Mans's Lobster …More

Kat W: The tavern is OK. With so many places to choose from, I would try another restaurant before returning here. We didn't need to wait long for the waitress to take our order and bring drinks. My husband ordered fish and chips, I ordered the John Hancock (vegetarian burger) with fries. Both our fries were dry (slightly over done). The patty for my burger was also overdone and very dry. My husband said his battered fish was OK.Parking: Very difficult to find parking in this area. And all is paid parking.

Abel Oroz: Not a bad place, nice ambience and classic look, decent beers, but kind of pricey for the quality. We ordered a "scampi" dish and it came without actual prawns in it, just a mountain of white rice.
Andrew Chattin: The food was good. My only real issue was the lack of any sort of kids menu. I'm sure as a major historical spot they must get a decent amount of families in there so a kids menu would be nice.Food: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Lisa Dierkhising: The food was great! They have gluten free buns available. Really cool atmosphere, historic!Dietary restrictions: Accommodated our requests for no dairy and they had Udi's gluten free buns
Aub Driver: This place is awesome. One of (if not the original) Boston tavern from the '70s... That's the 1770s. Serving excellent pub faire, you can't go wrong with the fish & chips or the massive pretzel.

Biddy Early's: what do users think?
Willem Ponikvar: I am a Canadian. They didn’t accept my id to get it. They said “passport or go away” how ridiculous. For that 1 star. I’d rate 0/5 if I could.
JoAnne Mayer: Reviews aren’t wrong.Stayed at nearby hotel & wanted to play Golden Tee & watch some sports.Bartender (owner?) great & watched him continuously spray clean tables & check bathrooms. Awesome service. Would be a go to neighborhood bar for us. Darts too.
Edward Harrington: Great locals dive bar. Cold beer and owner was great.
Justin Thomas: Best dive bar in the city
Colm Whelan: Live in Boston 20 years. How did I just find this place? Great great local bar
Hailey Stoltenberg: Great dive bar, but smells like a toilet in the back
Dan M: Used to come here after work when I worked in the area. Great dive bar for beers and casual conversation. They have darts and it can get cramped but it’s just what the doctor ordered after a long day at work!
Jorge Munoz: My wife and I visited this place a few times and the bar tenders and workers are great. You go into this place and forget you are in Boston because it's not overpriced or filled with fancy pants. Just a great Irish type bar with great people working there. I'm making it a point to visit every time I'm near.
Pearce Wurthner-Labrecque: Awesome dive bar if you're down to drink in a toilet.
evans festo: Cheap drinks and good vibes
Carson Gibbs: My buddy Epstein (not that one) says this is the best bar in all of Boston. After a visit I can say it is my favorite as well. Loved playing darts and playing music all night long. Great service and location.
Jason Livingston: Good drinks
Dennis: Had time before last train out of South Station for Providence and was excited to find such a fun, welcoming, and good time scene here. Happy New Year and thanks for the warm shelter from old man winter BE peeps -D
Mike O'Shea: This place is great... PBR DRAFTS for only 3 bucks.
Jeff Grote: Great dive bar!!
Collin Keddy: Place is a joke and would never recommend to anybody
David Leyva: Cool spot, very dive bar local type feel. Nice people, attentive service.
Iyshia Kirkland: Loved the atmosphere here. Drinks were made with love, and the place was packed!
Heather Haley: So much fun!! Just the type of place we wanted to find!! Spent New Years Eve here. Crowd was awesome, busting into the best singalong all night!! Bartenders did a great job.
jerzdoolz: $3 PBRs in Boston is unheard of but there it is. Just love the rustic feel of the small pub!
L: Classic Irish dive bar

Croke Park: what do users think?
Holdyn Lansink: Went here all 3 nights we were in Boston. Walk in and smell the piss. A true dive bar. Laura was an absolute beauty. Free pool, cheep beer. Benny tried to take my wife home. Otha than that. 11/10
Okella Wood: Not a lot of places like this left.
Danielle Hurley-O'Neill: Greatest dive bar in Boston! The atmosphere is laid back and the patrons are friendly and welcoming. Staff is attentive and friendly as well. The free pool is just an added plus! Love this place!
Colin J. Murphy: best dive in southie
Sean McGuffin: Place is lit.
Anne Cassidy: Gerry rocked and we can't wait to go back and chill with them for the day!!!!
Matthew Mulkern: This place is great. You get what you pay for. We came at 3pm and were served by DeeDee. She was great, didn’t know how much drinks cost but damn were they good. The funny thing is we can back at 1am and the bouncer said that DeeDee hasn’t worked here in ages. Not sure if DeeDee was a ghost but all in all a great experience. Highly recommend.
Stacy Delany: Came from Dublin to Boston for St Patrick’s week in 2022 spent paddy’s day here best pub in Boston
mattt h: great people great prices and good pool players
Wouldn't You Like To Know: This place gives South Boston a bad name.
Phillip Morton: Great bar. Bartender is cool af.
Fadi & Mai: Very nice neighborhood pub. Nice music and vibes, good beer, cheap prices, you can bring/order your own food, pool tables, darts.. I like it.
Gary Newman: Love this place! We came from Nova Scotia and the locals made us feel right at home. They chatted us up at the bar and played a few games of pool with us. Bartender was friendly and attentive. I 100% recommend this place and would come back.
Josh “Fred Pine” Hunter: Can't really think of a way this place could be more of a perfect dive. It is what it is. I had a few cold PBRs on draft. It's the kind of place you can walk in with a $20 bill and most likely leave satisfied. I'll be back next time I'm here for work.
David McSharry: The owner is a sound man from Dublin.
Isaac Balinski: A true southie neighborhood bar. Played pool with a guy who had been going there for 33 years. Some tips:- Pool is free, but you gotta put your name on the whiteboard to get on the list- Cash only- Drink bottled beer not the beer on draft- People are friendly, get to know them
Lance Jones: My neighborhood bar 12 miles away
James Bryant: Excellent service and not too rowdy, especially considering it is quite the dive.
Carl: My favorite bar in Boston. Everyone is talkative. Try out a game vs the pool regulars there, look up APA before though. Beers are cheap. Lara is a mix between a mother and a wild best friend, amazing. Haven't been here in a while, I hope its still open!
bill raye: Best little spot I've been too in a little bit. The owner is super nice and the crowd can be a melting pot!
Meaghan Maureen: Best Dive bar in Southie
