Crazy awesome choice for a long lunch with New American food . Fantastic beer selection and a rotating menu keep things interesting. Take your colleagues here; they won’t regret it!

Vanessa Yip

Follow them on Twitter and FB for the bi-weekly specials board announced on Tuesdays. From this week's Goodbye Breaking Bad board: Los Pollos Hermanos fried chicken quesadilla . Soooo good!

This instant industry-approved classic has helped revitalize Downtown Crossing dining with its small, meaty menu, adult milkshakes , late-night dining and blunt rules for patrons. [Eater 38 Member]

JM Curley is a great place to hang out for a drink or for a quick bite . The 8 oz grass fed burger is easily one of the best I have ever tried. I tried the down to earth beer and it was ok.

Mohammad Bokhari

One of the very best burgers in town , make sure to ask for it & to enjoy every bit of it. Busier on the weekends, come during the week when it's less crowded . Simple menu, great drinks & awesome staff

Jacob Forster

The burger was one of the best I've had in a long time - the chipotle sauce was out of this world. Also open late and is one of the only places in the area serving food past 11 PM

Emily K

Small space but worth the wait! They don't take reservations so be prepared to sit for a little but the staff is very accommodating and all of them are great! Highly recommend!

Darren Leeds

Egg appetizer was amazing, burger sandwich entree was nice, I think my favourite is the fried chicken though. Fries were great, maybe add a little less salt.

Catador Cavernario

I followed the advise of many here ordering the classic with fries , it was really good despite my burger didn’t came with she extra cheese I saw on the pictures previously shared

CITY GRIT

We’re diggin’ their late night menu! Our personal favorites are the Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs , Fried Pickles , and the Chicken Lil’ Sando ! Also don’t miss the Crunchy Hipster Concrete!

Steve Poland

Great food here. Veggie sandwich with side salad was where it’s at (over the chicken sandwich , which was also good). Fries too. Dark n stormy ????????

Patricia

The burger is one of the best in the city and always a solid standby, but be sure to sample the rest of the menu as well - you can't lose.

Cristian Löfvall

Incredible place! Follow all the recommendations: Get the special burger , the Mac & Cheese , the Gin & Tonic , compliment Amanda (the hostess )

Holly S

Get a burger , get a cocktail , get chatty. This is my go-to bar ! Busy on weekends of course, but worth the wait.

The Taste Sheriff

Great bar bites , cheap drinks , friendly service , free shots by the bartenders . These people get hospitality right. Good job guys!

Spencer Brownell

The best cocktails ! Chicken Liver Pate , Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs , and the burger are all great! Plus they played Rush the whole time we were here!

Merida S

Great burger . If you're feeling adventurous, ask the bartender to make you something. Whiskey smash is also really good. Loved it, will go back!

Michael Boswell

Love the Mortadella and Spinach Spread at lunch . If they have the "Cheesiest Cheeseburger in the History of Cheeseburgers " as a special, get it; don't hesitate! Too many good things to say

Sunil Doshi

Vegetarians , do not fear this place! The veggie burger is solid. It is possible that the amazing homemade Russian dressing is doing most of the work.

Baturalp

Do not judge the burger by its look, delicious. This place is great for late night cravings. Decent beer list for a downtown spot.

Vladimiro Mazzotti

BBQ pork sandwich and Burger simply amazing, among best ever, go for it hand down.

Stacy Bo Bacy

BBQ pork sando and burger are worth having. Service is friendly and fast.

A S

Their veggie burger truly is tasty, an unexpected surprise. Check their specials, the blue cheese-bacon deviled eggs were yummy.

Boston.com

Try the Prime Burger , a beefy grilled 10-ounce patty on a toasted sesame bun with pickles , caramelized onions , cheddar , and house-made Russian dressing . One of Boston's best burgers . Read more

Rachel Powers

They really know how to make a cocktail . Best Manhattan I've ever had. And the gin gimlets were fabulous as well !

Serious Eats

Comfort-food classic with cheffy spins in a nostalgia-strewn bar that's a favorite hangout for food industry insiders.

Renaissance Hotels

Must-tries are the pimento-cheese oozing burger and the “adult milkshakes”. Oh, and don’t let them catch you using your phone during dinner . For more, follow us on 4sq or www.renhotels.com. Read more

Ingrid Hartman

I went here for dinner and drinks before attending a show at the Boston opera house around the corner. Great spot!

Joseph Dineen

More of a restaurant than a bar . Ask for free bacon fat popcorn . Excellent comfort food and burger . Fries are a bit thin though.

Vanessa Gatlin

(Best of Boston 2013-DOWNTOWN CROSSING) Improper Bostonian says, "A maestro at mixing cuisines high and low, chef Sam Monsour composes junk-food symphonies-foie gras glazed jelly donuts ..."

Paul

A good burger with a thin patty and excellent flavors. Their cocktails are definitely worth the visit.

Amy Lease

Grilled cheese and fries is a Marathoner's delight! Lots of great beers on the menu and a fun bartender !

Adam Sigel

Go for lunch and have the burger , fries , and a High Life. Burger isn't huge so don't be afraid to double up the patties if you're really hungry.

Rachel Roberie

The french fries and bacon flavored popcorn are great snacks to go with their unique cocktails !

Pavlix

Nice atmosphere, good music , young crowd and a great selection of craft beers . Not much choice if you like veg though.

Zeynep Y

The 9 oz house burger is great. We got rabbit poutine and hog rings as appetizers , they were AMAZING!

Jenny Mackintosh

The 21 Temple G&T (with yellow chartreuse -- hello!) and Whiskey Smash are both delightful choices at the bar .

Dana Villmore

Fantastic cocktails and burgers ! Dark and stormy was delish :) try the homemade bacon Cracker Jack, too!

dani a

Vegan Burger Patty, although veggie burger is a bit dry without the cheese and any sauce. (make sure to add some ketchup )

Adam Sigel

Filthy Andy is a very popular choice for the burger . The patties at lunch aren't huge so don't be afraid to go double patty if you're really hungry.

Becky

order the aviation! gin , creme de violette, lemon , and a maraschino cherry that's been soaking in gin . yum.

BostonTweet

Ask for the deviled eggs and a Hemingway Heat cocktail . You'll be very satisfied and very tipsy.

Jeremy Krantz

Get their burger , it's one of the best in town . Great drinks and bar menu too!

Basil Siddiqui

Favorite bar downtown. If you like whiskey , be sure to try the Jim Curley single barrel bourbon !

Patty Grace

Great cocktails . Good variety of beers on tap . The food menu is good too.

Vanessa Yip

Cheddar bacon burger , onions , Pop's Russian. So simple. So good. (Not pictured: tasty Hemingway Heat)

Joel Yeaton

All the cocktails are almost-equally amazing but the 21 Temple Gin and Tonic is the best of breed here. ???? ????

sean

Great beer selection and several vegetarian options including a good vege burger

Adam D

One of the best bars downtown. Alway can get a great drink here.

Debb

Nice place to hang out, and what I liked the most is that they have veggie burger :)
