Scholars American Bistro and Cocktail Lounge

Has a place for everyone, from a crowded bar to game tables to comfortable , intimate seating. Should be comfortable regardless of who you're with and whatever you're doing.

The food was excellent. The mac & cheese was probably the best I've ever had. Our waitress was friendly but didn't know the draft beer menu and also had no idea they didn't have brats today.

Huge place. I like how there are different levels and a billiards room so you can decide whether you what to dance and be loud or opt for more of a lounge setting.

Educate yourself by trying every craft cocktail listed under "The Home Room", such as the Compass, with Cold River Blueberry Vodka , basil , syrup , and fresh lemon juice to help you find your way. Read more

Their sandwiches are so tasty- the bread is so soft and fluffy. 😋 they have a great cocktail selection too

Best food bar none I love the cheese if you like cheese u will love this

You must try The New Cuban- perfectly refreshing for summer. Rum , basil , sparkle wine , Ginger

Get the Painkiller at brunch ! You won't be sorry. The bloody is very spicy .

Try the Eggs Benedict - Looks fantastic! Nice atmosphere w/ the jazz band , throwing a baby showe & they're very accommodating!

Much history here to accompany your beer .

Great location, with a drink list to match. Avoid the after work crowd; you'll really get your money's worth if you go in the later evening.

Their pizza is pretty unusual but yummy!

$10 cover after 10pm on weekends. Lines get very long so get there early

Tasty fries . Although, I *did* order them with remoulade that never came... #firstworldproblems #potatoes

Fried oyster special is heavenly. As are the fried pickles (but really when are fried pickles ever NOT heavenly?)

Fun drinks. Loved "the painkiller ". Coconut goodness. Also came here Fri night to check out the dance scene. It was so so.

Good vibe once inside but long line and wait.

Gotta try the fried pickles . All my other food experiences here have been very disappointing. Special requests were botched, sides forgotten

Big space . Decent selection of beers

Jazz band on 11-3 on Sundays! Amazing!

Head upstairs for some great pool tables .

Great for after work & weekend partying

Absolute boston tea party is fantastic!

order the za'atar flatbread (pine nuts , goat cheese , hummus , labneh ). eat.

want to get hit on by shirt & tie guys? the bar downstairs is the place to be.

The Strawberry Miller is very interesting, definitely something different!

Large space and great crowd!

New rule: Do NOT wear sneakers ! So lame. Not high class enough for that rule.

Try the Movie Star. It's like a gin mojito...or a salad .

All their cocktails are absolutely delicious!

Great beer selection but I wish I had Bose noise canceling headphones

Pork tacos on the bar menu...to DIE for!!!

Very Allergy friendly . . . Chef Michael took good Clare of me!

Best new billiards spot in the downtown area. Read more

80s music ? it's a cool place except the music doesn't match the atmosphere and decor.

Try the fried oyster salad with chicharrones .

Thursday nights...all bets are off. Veni Vidi Vichi. Good times.

go around 3PM.. try the meatloaf

Try the Bayou Bloody!

Drifter pale ale is very good

Ask to be seated with carson. She's adorable.

The oysters are really good!

Just ordered but already have to post that they have the best soundtrack ever.

Walk all the way through and play some pool overlooking pi alley

Great beer selection !!

The Saturday night dj .... Really?

Order a Whiskey Smash.

The weekend bouncers here are literally the worst in Boston. Completely unnecessarily rude and mean EVERY SINGLE TIME. Bartenders are great though

Good drinking spot but their band sucks. I do better in karaoke .

Delicious curly fries !
