Oysters 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.

This tavern offers the unique experience of a family-style pig roast . Available for groups of 10+, the meal begins with assorted shellfish & ends with a slow roasted (for 14 hours) whole suckling pig . Read more

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.

Tavonna Miller

Swanky 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 !

Verba Victoria

This 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 ????

The 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.

Andrew Meggison

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 Engelberg

Fantastic brunch on sunday. Great pancakes and benedicts. Dinner until 1:30 am! Great oysters . Great cod . Great burger .

Chris Pollone

Good 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 .

Stephanie H

Best whiskey selection in town . American single malts and other small batch stuff up the wazoo. Drink up!

Eric Andersen

The whiskey flights here are excellent — a great way to level up in whiskey knowledge !

Katie Welsh

Fresh oysters were delicious. The braised pork and roasted chicken were top notch as well . So many different flavor combos I highly recommend it.

AskMen

A top-of-the-line whisky bar featuring all of the bourbons , ryes , Canadian, Japanese, Irish, Scotch and white whiskys you can dream of, and plenty of those you can't. Read more

Hillary Boucher

We did the roast a whole pig with a big group. Great experience and delicious food.

Nancy Deol

If 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 Christianson

The 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

Ajit Verghese

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.

Bobby Kennedy

Nice selection of raw oysters to choose from and a great menu of wine , beer and cocktails .

Rachel Meggan

Portions are small but high quality. Chicken was amazing. Stay away from the cheese plate unless you really like strong cheese . Awesome drinks and beer .

Thrillist

This upscale neighborhood tavern's got a healthy assortment of craft cocktails , over 70 whiskeys , and a pleasing lineup of draft suds. Also: A 100-year-old fireplace . Read more

Jeannie Waeyaert

Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal! Unbelievable!!! So good. The cod was a melt in your mouth dish!

Boston Phoenix

Our 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

Kevin Wang

Hidden Fenway gem with great appetizers and a massive whiskey/cocktail list. See if you can try them all before I can.

holly hannon

This place has outstanding cocktails , whiskeys , food, servers & bartenders . Awesome all around.

????Coco

Full menu until 1 am... Great spot, solid food.

Angie Massie Khotpal

Oysters are delish. Try the whiskey flights if you’re a whiskey lover.

The Feast

Excellent cocktails and well-executed tavern fare reign supreme here. Go for a $3 shot of draft Fernet to end the meal. Read more

April Thomas

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 Mei

The Citizen Cioppino has great sauce, but tiny portions. Also try the Citizen Cured Antipasti Board.

Agustin Mohedas

beer & shot of bourbon , $5; scotch egg , $5; starting the night on such good terms, priceless.

Michelle Doherty

Hidden bench at end of the bar .. Best seat in the house

Valerie Robin

Just found this place. Love the idea of the shift drink. AND the bartenders are super nice.

BostonTweet

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"!!!

Wyngspan

Order envy is obsolete. It's all good. Don't forget to leave them a "Trust" on Wyngspan! <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/KyJyDy"target="_blank" data-sig="CVieO7TEHDC2wlGOJZmVG1Sjdhg=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://bit.ly/KyJyDy</a>

Punketta Doilie

For an amazing summer beverage, try a Moscow Mule - vodka , ginger beer and lime juice . Refreshing, not too sweet, and packs a punch. Amazing

Erica Ayotte

duck cassoulet , the carpet bagger, and the sticky toffee pudding are all things you'll want again and again. also the cherry cobbler cocktail .

Jeff Byrnes

70+ whiskeys , great food, amazing bartenders , this is a must-try place in Boston.

Colby Rabideau

The Ryeder Die was exactly what I was hoping for. So was the sirloin burger .

Good Customer

Great oysters and incredible bar and drink options!

Derek Gaskins

Possibly the best bourbon ???? list. And this is just page 1!????????⚾️ ????????

Boston Magazine

The raw bar here is one of the city ’s best, the drink list superb. Perfect spot for cocktails and group gatherings . Read more

Kate

The Pickleback is my new favorite drink, and try the special of mussels smoked in clarified butter if they have it. Excellent.

Ezra Pollard

If you haven't heard, Fernet on draft .

Sara LaBrecque

Scotch egg is not to be missed-- bigger and more meat than Hops and Scotch

Dan Backhaus

Great seafood , fantastic whiskey selection !

Adam D

One of the best whiskey selections in Boston.

Alexandra Laurin

Very cool atmosphere, fancy but not over the top pricy . But then again.. Tasty Burger IS right across the street.. Read more
