The Publick House has a well-curated tap list that features rare pours.The mac and cheese is a standout, and traditional Belgian fare pairs well with Belgium’s slightly sweet, slightly spicy beers . Read more

If you're a serious Mac and cheese connoisseur like myself, you should definitely eat the Mac and cheese . Add lobster for an additional deliciousness boost.

Rue La La

One of the best selections of Belgian beer (draft and bottled) in the area. Get there early on weekends - it fills up fast, and food stops by 11PM. Our favorite brew? Delirium Tremens on tap .

Alex L.

The Belgian beers were great, the tripels and great american ales were delicious.Tasted the grilled chicken sandwich and crab cake and they were both awesome. You have to eat and drink here.

Sofia Papastamelos

Amazing beer list and Mac and cheese . Waiter was quirky and hilarious.

BU Today

This bar and restaurant offers nearly 200 different types of beer and ale , many of them of Belgian and German origin and as hearty as the food they are served with. Just don't ask for a pitcher . Read more

The Moules Frites steamed mussels is better than anything you'd find at 4-star restaurant . I got the version w/ house-made fish stock - a perfect snack after an evening of craft beer sampling .

Brittany Oakes

The sriracha wings w gorgonzola dressing are a must! The veggie burger was unique, and the Brendoni sandwich was phenom! Try the gose beer if your into salty foods

Di Jiang

Mussels , Mac & cheese (fried egg , andouille sausage , caramelized onions , hotdog bites), and veal meatballs . Best comfort food to go with Belgian blond

Aaron Wheeler

Fantastic veggie burger ! So many toppings, but the apricot IPA BBQ and some pickles jalapeños will make your heart scream yum!

Jake Smith

This place is pretty great because there isn't a bad food or beer to order on their menu. Go outside your comfort zone and be pleasantly surprised.

Avradeep Chakrabarti

The appetiser moules frites is more than enough for one! 25 moules in a pot. (50 for main course!). Pot 4 was delicious. Pot 2 was a bit salty for me.

Ryan Paul

The waterzooi aux poissons is fantastic if you're looking for something hearty and delicious on a cold winter evening.

Al S

The best thing about The Publick House is its extensive selection of rare (at least in the U.S.) Belgian beers , but the Monk Fries in a paper cone are a close second. Eat some with truffle ketchup .

Erica Ayotte

If you like fancy beer (or cider ) this is the place for you. Also plenty of great eats. Have to get the moules frites , also the cheese and charcuterie platters are well done.

Untappd

A fine selection of Belgian beers on draft . Great food and they serve all the beers in the proper glass. Check out ThePublick House Provisions to stock up on take out beer and glassware .

Caleb Hutchings

The beer haven for Washington Square and Boston alike. Mac & Cheese is famous. Truffle fries always hit the spot. If you like Coors, stay home.

Didi Falco

Great beer bar with lots of beer on tap and bottle beer , excellent selection of imported beer from all over the world.

Jamie K

Skip the matchstick frites and ask for a bag of the steak fries and pick your sauces. Truffle ketchup , beer mustard and la choice mayo suggested. 3$ for the side of fries , such a hearty portion

The Ad Club

Food is Amazing, beer list is endless. One of the best bars in the city . Bill can add up quick, so if you're just interested in drinks try their sister bar American Craft down the street.

Jeremy Krantz

Hungry? They have some amazing (and customizable) Mac and Cheese ! It's delicious! Try it with peas and bacon .

Enrico Manalo

One of the best fish and chips in the Boston area for sure. Great fries , great beer selection .

BostonTweet

If you like Guinness then try an O'Hara's at the Publick House. Look at the picture. How amazing do those triplets look?!

Nicholas Wright

Try the PEI mussels simmered in delicious boozes, incredible burgers , or awesome list of rare beers .

Gretchen Murphy

Great selection of craft beers ; enjoy one at the bar while you inevitably wait for a table.

Lindsay

Mussels pot #5 is insanely delicious. Order a mac and cheese for the table to share. Wash it down with an Allagash White or one of the other awesome selections from the rotating draft list .

Edward Kim

Mac and Cheese is their quintessential classic. Extra good with scallops . Highly recommend the Delirium Nocturnum if you want a good Belgian

Shawn

Beers ! So many beers ! And if you're hungry check out the Brendoni sandwich -- to die for!

Maya D

Tried the lambic beer - check! Boon Kriek is delicious not to mention classy looking.

Mazda

The Publick House is home to The Monk’s Cell. In the door and up the ramp to you left is our exclusively Belgian Beer department, where all of the drafts are reserved for beers from Belgium.

Sara Fleming

HUGE beer menu ! I think you could come here every day for six months and not try every beer . Try the Belgians.

Rich Kearney

The best mac and cheese I have ever eaten and I have eaten a lot of mac and cheese .

Alex Dobyan

Incredible beer selection ; lots of expensive European beers , but the local imitators are often just as good.

KillCo

Food is delicious at any time. Live music and drinks on the weekends too.

Joanna Huang

If you love coffee or the taste of coffee , you must order the Berkshire Coffeehouse Porter . You'll love it!

Had a regular burger with fries and it was delish. The mac and cheese is pretty awesome too. Kind of crowded usually but the beer selection is great enough to keep you entertained as you wait. Read more

Great beer selection , always very crowded . Stand near the bar , space turns over pretty often. Frites are the best in the world.

Chris

Must get the Mac 'n' Cheese . It's like nothing you've ever had before.

Andy Carvin

My grandfather used to own this place in the late 40s and early 50s. Unfortunately I can't translate that into free beer here.

Shane Martin

Lots of Belgian beers here. Bar staff is excellent
