Gastropub · North End · 43 tips and reviews
Eater: Named for a classic cocktail, Ward 8 specializes in classic cocktails, complemented by snacks like maple chili duck wings and entrees like cod bouillabaisse.
lauren: Solid cocktails at reasonable prices. Good vibe for a pre-dinner drink or a night out with friends.
Norman Ellis: Nice dinner option near TD Garden. The Steak Frites was delicious and they make a great Moscow Mule. On the other end the Striped bass ceviche was under seasoned and the Madeline Cake dessert meh.
Fouad El-Nemr: Best Oysters in Boston. They are unbelievable! The steaks are huge and juicy. If you like sweet potatoes, they have the best mashed sweet potatoes too. Definitely a top 5 restaurant in Boston
Kristen Copell: Come into the beautiful bar and have a delicious sizzling steak with a great glass of red wine!
What's Good Here: Located along the Freedom Trail. Its a chain with consistently great steaks. Better than the Smith & Wollensky's here. After dining, cross over to the Parker House for Boston Creme Pie & some history.
