Craft Beer CellarNovember 26, 2013
One of Boston's best beer spots, there is something on tap to please every palate. Stop in at Craft Beer Cellar later to take home a mix-pack of beer from your favorite brewery/breweries! Read more

The password is: craft beer. This speak-easy has craft beer galor and 5 beers on cask at all times. Best cask beer selection in Boston.

A stylish, metropolitan bar with a New York vibe might not seem like a haven for craft beer, but Stoddard’s has emerged as a theatergoer’s destination with more than 20 oft-rotating taps. Read more

I liked this place as it had a traditional British/Irish pub vibe. We opted for a local pint and fish & chips. The food was good but the portions seemed a little small and pricey. Sports channels on.

Super nice staff that recommended a delicious local lager. I had the rib eye with mashed potatoes and asparagus, probably the best rib eye I ever had. Really recommend this place!!

Swanky and stylish, Stoddard's has an amazing selection of craft beers and sophisticated atmosphere. Check out the bar in the basement when the main floor gets busy.

Great craft beer selection and pretty good food as well. That being said, don't order their Gouda & cask ale fondue, it's not nearly as good as it sounds.

Has an awesome selection of beer and a cool atmosphere. Good for groups 😀

Great for drinks and good ambiance, but my experience with food is that it's frozen / pre-prepared. Would come here for cocktails only.

Delicious burgers and wonderful selection of craft brews. Can get busy on the weekends so make a reservation if you are coming for dinner.

This is the closest craft beer bar to our Boston office. They have some of the most knowledgeable bartenders (Jamie and Dan) in Boston.

Fun place, good food. Wanted to try some cool beers but our waitress couldn't recommend anything. She said we could ask for samples so we did, but she brought us full bottles. Get better waiters.

Excellent cocktails. Try the Zombie if you want to fast-forward to dancing naked on a table - ace but strong drink :)

Drink cocktails from Jerry Thomas’ 1868 book How to Mix Drinks, like The Deal Breaker which involves Wild Turkey 101, Campari, Grand Marnier, Amaro Montenegro, and a weird fascination with its mother. Read more

Solid lobster roll here. Bread is thin (good) and they add a little bacon on top for good measure!

Entrées make great use of local rabbit and cod and heritage pork. This gastropub also serves a fine charcuterie plate with quail-egg sausage and rabbit ballotine, plus the best chicken pot pie ever. Read more

Great selection of beers on tap, and the Zombie cocktail is an irresistible combo with absinthe and flambeed cherry (among other ingredients)

Sazerac and Boulevardier, both excellent whiskey cocktails and so well done here.
The FeastJune 10, 2011
Opulent interior, retro cocktails and stellar charcuterie. For the beer geeks out there, there's a great brew selection as well. Read more

Was having a lovely evening downstairs in the bar until we saw a huge cocaroach scaling the brick wall. When we showed it to the waitress she insisted we be quiet!!

Great beer selection and upscale bar food. Can't go wrong with the burger.
Christopher MarkFebruary 9, 2016
Amazing beer selection. Large tap list with many unique finds

Lobster Hush Puppies are spectacular here. Lots of beers on tap, but the cask ales are served correctly (read: a bit warm).
Mike BreslinApril 29, 2016
Good beer selection always rotating and good bar staff as well!!!
Jenny MackintoshMarch 25, 2012
If the downstairs bar is open, don't pass it up. Make friends with the bartender and order a Last Word. Herbaceous and refreshing.
Caroline LeNovember 4, 2014

DO NOT come here & order a Bud Light or a Sam Adams. Get a beer on tap - so many delicious, everchanging options & nice bartenders to recommend something for you. Read more

Swordfish special atop sun dried tomato grits & kale celery salad was outstanding.
Carl GriffinJanuary 8, 2016
Excellent range of beers available.
Rachel RoberieAugust 21, 2015
Impressively extensive cocktail menu, delicious charcuterie
Eric OAugust 30, 2013
Since the taps are so spread out and change so often, you'll want to ask for a draft menu.
Dart DartAugust 15, 2010
Hmmm rabbit is delicious, huge beer selection ( however no Czech beer, but that it is not a big problem :-) and great deserts... Oh and nice retro interior
Ava LuAugust 23, 2014
The Duo Duck was good... but it's the Old Fashioned by Adam the best!
Chris FosterMay 4, 2016
Nice beer selection. Bartender misheard my drink order though so kind of a loud place. Good for groups though.
Chris BakerJanuary 5, 2014
Beer and cocktail menus are different downstairs from upstairs

Stay and eat. The duck was delicious, Pricey, but worth it if you're looking for great atmosphere.
Zack SheppardSeptember 5, 2014
Pretty great whiskey selection and 24 taps for beer!

Good Morning beer geeks. We are open tonight at 4pm & tomorrow we will open for lunch at 11:30am.
Kristin DaltonAugust 20, 2014
Atmosphere is awesome and lots of beer on tap.
Michael TroianoJune 19, 2021
This is more a bar than a foodie destination. But it's Old Boston, for good and for ill.

If the bar is backed, check to see if the bar down stairs is open.

The bathrooms downstairs are phenomenal... Pretend to walk in for a beer and bead to the back right, you won't be disappointed!
