Rock Bottom Boston

This is to date the only Rock Bottom joint I’ve been into and I wasn’t all that taken with it, if I’m honest. The general atmosphere of the place was definitely lacking something, it was very busy and very impersonal. I had a selection of their beers, which was perhaps a little steep on the price. Most of the beers I had were fairly uninspired, at best they were fairly good, while others were definitely weak. I didn’t eat, so I can’t judge it on that front.

Decent beers on tap, brewed in-house. Nothing too exciting. What I had of their food was unremarkable, but edible.

I had the sampler first. The beer was very dissapointing. They didn’t have anything over 5% alcohol. Even the IPA was a little watery. The food was really good though and not that expensive for Boston.

It’s a Rock Bottom, what else can I say. Beer was fine, but standard stuff. Ambiance is OK, but you are entirely aware that you’re inside a chain brewpub. I only came in because I was in the immediate area with time to kill, which is about what it deserves. Thik of it as beer purgatory. It’s not that good, but not that bad, just kinda there.

The place is not deep so you can see the street from basically anywhere: not my thing. I was there at the end of summer: not the best time for premium taps. Will re-rate when I go when it’s cold.

Didn’t try the food, the Mad_Indian was served the Improper Hopper Ipa in a chipped pint glass, the brews seemed watery, and i think we only seen our waitress once. Not a very good experience, i will probably never go back.

Went with Stegosaurus on Second Boston beer tour. They got this gut their in the brewing area acting like a scientist. when you go up too see him he acts like hes so busy and yet all their beers are watery weak and lack imagination. Their food was ok. Typical bar food. I too received a chipped glass (must be standard practice) The people and setting was pretty nice but It was just ok for me.

We were recomended the "toothpics" by our robust waitress and they came dripping with grease and no napkins (unedible). The nochos were the worst I have ever seen. My beer came in a glass with a large chip in the rim and the patio was so smokey. Other than that it was great. They did live up to thier name.

Établissement visité le dimanche 17 juin vers 16h30. Ambiance: Plein de boiserie partout, musique de style soft rock. Service: Excellent service, le serveur nous a présenté chaque bière ainsi que différentes sections du menu. Sélection: 4 bières régulières, 1 noire en rotation et 2 saisonières. Nourriture: On a juste pris une entrée à partager mais elle était succulente. Le "RB appetizer sampler" comprend des ailes de poulets, des petits tortillas farcis, des rondelles d’oignons et une grosse portion de nachos. L’entrée nous a complètement comblée l’apétit. (49e rating d’établissement)

I give the value a 10 because I had a gift card, so it was free. But I really like Rock Bottom anyway, and the Boston location was no different. Great food. I love love love their "toothpicks". The beers are pretty standard for Rock Botton, but standard is pretty solid. I know it’s not cool to like chain brewpubs, but I’ll always hit Rock Bottom is I see one. Even the prices weren’t bad (if I did have to pay). I’ve never been disappointed with this franchise.
