Typical pub food here- potato skins, nachos, calamari for apps, burgers and sandwiches for dinners. Lots and lots of TVs to watch games from almost any angle. The booths are pretty uncomfortable because they are very straight backed, but the tables on the right side of the restaurant are great. Food is priced a little high, but not bad for... More

The drinks are cold and the food is hot and tasty. The Staff are all business, efficient and tidy. A mountain of sports memorabilia in this place and lots of flatscreens with sports to watch. Great atmosphere for the sports fan. right across the stree from the TD Garden for a pre-game or post-game experience. More

Still the best place around North Station for before-and-after game food and drink. It really is an awesome sports bar, friendly and efficient. But the Tony C.(veal cutlet sub) was kind of dried out (could have used a little more marinara), and the steak-tip sub was also good but kind of dry. The Yaz (Pastrami) again was awesome, huge, and... More

We decided to stop in before a game on the advice of a fellow traveller. It was beofre the Celtics game and expected a crowd. I guess I got there early becuase i was seated right away. I tried the steak tips. I found them to be ok. A little on the charred side, so it kinda threw the flavor... More

We were in town to see the Maple Leafs get destroyed by the Bruins on St Paddys day weekend. We were walking down Canal street and thought we would pop in for a quick beer before the game..... The game was at 7;00 and we stopped in about 5:30. It was crazy busy.... The guy out front said over an... More

Went to the Fours prior to the NCAA games so it was MOBBED! Waited a reasonable amount of time considering the circumstances. We were seated and waited on promptly, got our food and drinks very quickly and the burgers/fries were very good. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area for a game or whatever at the Garden. My... More

Went on a sports event night and was lucky to have standing room at a very busy bar. Bartender was excellent and a joy to watch him keep pace with several orders for drinks and food. If you are lucky to get a spot, don't give it up! More

Salads, burgers and fish were great! The selection of beverages was unusally broad and well worth the wine list. The one thing we always order is the fish and chips. Their portions are huge, tasty and hot! More

Really cool restaurant, that I had been told was a "must visit" stop in Boston. I was told the Bobby Orr was the best sandwich in the world. It was good, but I was underwhelmed. My wife's sandwich (the Ray Boroque) was okay also, but not outstanding. All in all, it was worth the visit, but I'll probably try another... More
