Hector RodriguezJanuary 17, 2021Oysters and the peated monster was fantastic. The seafood platter for 2!!! The guys went out of there way to help us get a table and celebrate son’s 21! Thanks for helping us create a great memory.
Just eat everything--it's all good. The duck cassoulet was out of this world, the burger is awesome. Oysters and 75 types of whiskey that can be poured over a 3 inch sphere of ice.
Verba VictoriaAugust 2, 2019This Pub is officially the best in Boston. The food is mouthwatering, staff is always welcoming, drinks are great too. Try their burger and you’ll never stop thinking about it.
Maya Jimenez 😬October 9, 2013The best advice I can give anyone is to order one of each of the oysters to see what you like (unless you're an oyster connoisseur). As for cocktails, I have yet to try something I didn't enjoy.
Chris PolloneSeptember 14, 2017Good food & vibe, but got a lot of attitude from our server bc the host sat us at the raw bar & we apparently weren't ordering enough food in his estimation. Try Mac & cheese bites & fried pickles.
Tavonna MillerMarch 1, 2015Swanky swanky swanky ! Love the dark ambience and the liquor selection! Totally a spot to discover new spirits indeed. I just wish I had only discovered this joint when I actually lived in this city!
Eric AndersenMarch 21, 2019The whiskey flights here are excellent — a great way to level up in whiskey knowledge!
One of my favorite spots in Fenway. Try a whisky flight and if you have enough people go for the suckling pig! Also excellent oysters!
Ricky EngelbergJanuary 1, 2017Fantastic brunch on sunday. Great pancakes and benedicts. Dinner until 1:30 am! Great oysters. Great cod. Great burger.
Stephanie HSeptember 13, 2015Best whiskey selection in town. American single malts and other small batch stuff up the wazoo. Drink up!
Katie WelshJuly 4, 2013Fresh oysters were delicious. The braised pork and roasted chicken were top notch as well. So many different flavor combos I highly recommend it.
Nancy DeolFebruary 15, 2013If you love oysters, this is a yummeh place to sample a variety. Challenging space for larger parties, but the food and service are top notch.
Alyssa ChristiansonSeptember 8, 2011The ice spheres they use for whiskys are so neat! They have a special mold that compresses a block of ice into a perfect globe which makes for a gorgeous (and delicious) drink
Rachel MegganSeptember 27, 2013Portions are small but high quality. Chicken was amazing. Stay away from the cheese plate unless you really like strong cheese. Awesome drinks and beer.
Bobby KennedyJune 9, 2017Nice selection of raw oysters to choose from and a great menu of wine, beer and cocktails.
Hillary BoucherAugust 11, 2014We did the roast a whole pig with a big group. Great experience and delicious food.
- Duck & sausage cassoulet, oysters rockefeller, polenta vegetable tort, fried chicken livers and ribeye roast are great - but if you like duck - get it. Beef jerky and fernet on tap also great.
Boston PhoenixDecember 15, 2010Our favorite entrée was confit-duck-and-smoked-sausage cassoulet. The white beans here were fully cooked, the garlic sausage excellent, and the confit duck lightly cured and plentiful. Read more
Jeannie WaeyaertOctober 11, 2014Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal! Unbelievable!!! So good. The cod was a melt in your mouth dish!
If you order the "Asparagus Salad" - be aware, it's no salad. It's asparagus w/ranch dressing, almonds & pepper. If they add some lettuce and maybe a sliced tomato, THEN could be called a salad...
Gordon MeiApril 11, 2015The Citizen Cioppino has great sauce, but tiny portions. Also try the Citizen Cured Antipasti Board.
Hidden Fenway gem with great appetizers and a massive whiskey/cocktail list. See if you can try them all before I can.
Citizen Public House is now open with "70+ whisk(e)ys, 5 wines + Fernet on tap, 4 types of cocktail ice, 1 bad-ass Japanese ice ball mold & Duvel Green"!!!
This place has outstanding cocktails, whiskeys, food, servers & bartenders. Awesome all around.
Boston MagazineNovember 15, 2011The raw bar here is one of the city’s best, the drink list superb. Perfect spot for cocktails and group gatherings. Read more
Angie Massie KhotpalMay 19, 2018Oysters are delish. Try the whiskey flights if you’re a whiskey lover.
Valerie RobinNovember 23, 2013Just found this place. Love the idea of the shift drink. AND the bartenders are super nice.- duck cassoulet, the carpet bagger, and the sticky toffee pudding are all things you'll want again and again. also the cherry cobbler cocktail.
KateJanuary 2, 2011The Pickleback is my new favorite drink, and try the special of mussels smoked in clarified butter if they have it. Excellent.
Agustin MohedasAugust 6, 2013beer & shot of bourbon, $5; scotch egg, $5; starting the night on such good terms, priceless.
The Ryeder Die was exactly what I was hoping for. So was the sirloin burger.
70+ whiskeys, great food, amazing bartenders, this is a must-try place in Boston.
Sara LaBrecqueMay 10, 2013Scotch egg is not to be missed-- bigger and more meat than Hops and Scotch
Alexandra LaurinJune 27, 2011Very cool atmosphere, fancy but not over the top pricy. But then again.. Tasty Burger IS right across the street.. Read more- Michelle DohertyJuly 15, 2012Food was salty but otherwise no complaints. Oysters yum and drink ( whiskey) selection great!
- Got short changed on the bacon today..... NONE in the meat lover's bloody mary, the BLT Sammies came without the B!! When they came back, only 1 small piece on my Sammy. Kinda disappointed!!
- Sam June 26, 2011Tuna burger with its sauce, AND the skillet roasted P.E.I. mussels special... Are very very tasty.
New menu is solid...must have the pork shoulder tacos, period.
WyngspanJanuary 21, 2014Order envy is obsolete. It's all good. Don't forget to leave them a "Trust" on Wyngspan!
