My wife and I had an opportunity to visit this restaurant last Friday, May 11th for dinner. We were staying at the Sheraton Boston Hotel and needed to step out for a breath of air. On entering we discovered that the place was jammed, due partially to the fact that the RS were in town. The hostess saw us waivering... More

We stumbled across Dillon's when it started to rain and needed cover. The place was small and comfortable. The drink choices were good. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations for other places to try. Had the Edamame Hummus, 2 beers and 1 martini was 40.00. More

This bar was literally round the corner from the Hilton Boston back bay where we stayed. Food is excellent, good value and quality, try the sliders and sweet potatoe fries. Good choice of beers and friendly staff. Built in an old Police station, 16th precinct. More

Stopped by for drinks and we were seated downstairs by a fireplace and big screen TV with the game on. Lots of firehouse history on the walls. Drinks and bar bites were very good. More

Never been very impressed by the food - but it's a bar, what can you expect? Pizza was a bit soggy and the salad was laden in dressing. Beer is always flowing and the crowd is always lively - so it's a great place to get together with friends. More

This bar\restaurant is located inside what looks like an old police headquarters and sits next to an active fire department. The open facade leads to a long bar area with table seating to the side and back of the building. There's also seating outside for more accommodating season then when I made my visit. The atmosphere is modern and lounge-like... More

Love this place near the convention center, in the old police station building. Great atmosphere, great food, great drink deals and fab people watching from the front windows in winter and the outside deck in summer. This is a place we spend a lot of time in every time we visit Boston! More

Went here with a group of 12 friends and had a blast! The atmosphere was casual and loud, but that was perfect for us. Menu had so many great choices, I didn't know where to start, but asked the waitress for a recommendation and went with the Lobster Roll. Definitely was not disappointed. Lots of claw meat, not much mayo.... More
