The main thing this place has going for it is the location but that is also the problem if you happen to go before a Sox game it is just too crowded to enjoy. Their beers are mostly average but fresh brewed beer is still better than what the nearby bars are serving.

Not sure I get the mediocre ratings...yes most of the beers are good and not great (some are very good)...but the place is big and welcomng for a party crowd or pre-game stoking up. The food is as good as most pub grub at most beer bars. What’s really special about this place is being across the street from Fenway! C’mon...give me a break...you can have 2 or 3 pre-game craftbrews...watch the national anthem on the TV’s in the bar...walk to the door with your beer where they take the empty glass from your hand...and still be in your seat by first pitch. It doesn’t get any better than this! So does it really matter that these are not the best craftbeers? Well they’re much better than anything you’ll get in Fenway during the game. BTW...I say all of this as a...shhhh (Yankee fan)...LOL!

Nice and quiet on a snowy friday night. Not sure I’d want to be here when the Sox are playing, though. Decent beer; standard but OK food. Lots of stainless--you know the drill.

Stopped by after the Red Sox game. Very large place, very crowded, but they handled it well. Great location and great atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Jam packed on a Saturday game day. Staff was quick and friendly despite the chaos. Beers were solid. Atmosphere +1 for the view of the ballpark.

Almost embarrassingly, I went here twice in three days. Tons of house beers on tap, pretty good service, huge interior, and decent prices for Boston. The beers were okay for the most part. Some were good, some were pretty bad.

This is a cavernous brewpub with sixteen (!) house-made beers on tap. When I was there, four of the were fruit beers and based on what the people around me ordered, I can see why. They’re crazy popular. I tried a blueberry one and it tasted like shit. But I also had a Pale Ale on cask and and an India Pale Porter and they were both quite tasty. So, my advice is dodge the fruit beers and you can have a great beer experience. I asked the server what kind of hops were used in the Fenway Pale Ale and she said "cascade" right away. So that counts as knowledgeable in my book.

Looks like your typical brewpub now and days. They had a nice selection of their stuff on including a number of stouts just for February. Food was really good and well priced for lunch. The server you could tell didn’t know a lot about beer but made due and was nice. It was a nice spot for lunch.

visited in 2006 while passing through Boston. Located right next to Fenway Park - enjoyed a tasty beer.

A large brewpub just down the street from Fenway Park. On a Monday night in December it was far from crowded, however. I was here for an event and we took up most of the tables. Pretty extensive tap list- 4 "light" beers, 3 pale/ambers, and 4 "dark" beers, plus at least 1 cask and up to 4 seasonals. I was actually quite impressed with my 2 beers (a winter warmer and cask pale ale). I don’t know if they are a hit-and-miss kind of place but all that I got were "hits". They are the only brewery I know of to serve their blueberry ale with whole blueberries floating in the glass. The food that I got was great (chicken penne). Overall I had a great time here and would definitely come back.
