    Bangers and mash is fabulous. Lobster roll also excellent. Also the vegetable I got was pumpkin. Who serves pumpkin? These guys do and it's out of this world great.

    After the Sam Adams brewery tour, show your ticket and buy any Sam Adams to get a free beer glass. Try the specialty Sam Adams Nitro; it's like drinking a beer milkshake. Amazing!

    Food here was really good. I must boast about the beer though, Sam Adams Brick Red! It's the best beer I've ever had. Too bad it's a Boston exclusive, but it is definitely a reason to come back!

    Take a tour of the Sam Adams brewery and get a free glass if you tell them you came from there. There's an awesome party bus tour of Boston that leaves there at 4pm. They will drop you off in boston

    The most amazing fried pickle chips. Took way too long to get service, but everyone was friendly. Love the Sam Adams Brewery deal; you get to keep your glass!

    Took the party trolley here after the Sam Adams brewery tour. Paired the lobster roll with a bowl of chowder and a brick red. Best lobster roll , I will dream of it.

    A favorite spot of former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, Doyle’s has the an authentic feel that touristy pubs can only attempt to replicate. If you’re ordering food, get the Reuben on Rye; it’s phenomenal. Read more

    The place has more than 100 brews, and if you can't make up your mind, the bartender just spins a wheel. Order your beer, then get a peanut butter burger. Trust us, it's better than it sounds.

    perfect after the brewery tour. don't get your sam adams glass at the brewery, come here and order any sam adams beer for 8.50 and you get to keep the glass, just exchange for a new glass at the bar.

    If you're here in the weekend, try the Cajun prime rib. It's not on the menu but they'll make it for you. Delicious!

    Get the clam chowder in a bread bowl. Don't forget to take the Sam Adams tour beforehand. You'll arrive with a nice buzz, and Doyle's will let you keep your special Sam Adams beer glass!

    I only take people here after the brewery tour because they get beer glass souvenirs to take home as an incentive to stop in. I wouldn't come here otherwise.

    It used to be when I ordered a Pot Belly burger, that it would not be reincarnated on physique. Not so anymore, but this burger is one I will always have great affection for.
