hether you're looking for a place neat Faneuil Hall/Fi-Di to grab a quick bite or a round of drinks, or a place to hunker down to watch sports for the day or host an event, look no further than the Warehouse Bar & Grille.
Whether you're a local or a visitor - the location is pretty easy to get to. It's very close to multiple T stops and parking garages. We were there on a Sunday, so there was also ample street parking mid-day. I would say it's a 5-15 minute walk from The Garden/North End/Seaport/Aquarium/Faneuil Hall/ Downtown Crossing/Boston Commons (and about a 2-3 minute detour off the Freedom Trail).
Given the proximity to Faneuil Hall, I expected the food to be pretty standard pub food, but was pleasantly surprised at both the variety and quality. There was something for everybody. Obviously didn't try everything, but the chicken bacon ranch egg rolls and the sweet potato tots were fan favorites in my crowd. I would 100% go back for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
In terms of drinks they had a great variety of cocktails (check out the Tito's cocktails if you're a vodka drinker), wines, and both regional craft beers/ciders along with your standard domestic beers/seltzers/ciders (bonus points to them for having Maine Lunch IPA and Miller High Life). I also want to give them a shout out for having quality mocktails and craft non-alcoholic beer on the menu.
If you're looking for a spot to watch any sort of sport, this place is a winner. There were TV's everywhere and multiple sports on at the same time. I'm a college hockey fan, so I was pumped to see that they had it on in one section. I also know a few people who go there for Women's soccer games, so definitely a place to go for most sport viewing events. The booths are even situated so everybody can see the tv's, which was a bonus.
Definitely a great place to stop before Celtics and Bruins games if you want to avoid the Causeway scene. Probably faster to park over by the bar and walk then try and get to/from the parking garages down by the Garden.
We hosted a Boston Marathon Fundraiser here and it was great. Cliff and his staff were very responsive and accommodating leading up to event. The staff on site during the event were amazing. I would definitely host another event here and would recommend it to anybody who was looking for event space. Definitely capable of handling groups of all sizes.
Very happy with my experience here. I will...
Read moreWe arrived at our prebooked time and the greeter said she would check if our table was ready, despite there being about 6 empty tables at the entrance side of the restaurant. She never came back. A while later, another server asked if she could help us, but we told her the other woman was dealing with us. Another came s few minutes later, then the previous one returned and asked us if she could help us. My patience was starting to wear thin. We were eventually led to a table at the other end of the restaurant. This end was jam packed, and we were put at a table beneath a loudspeaker billowing loud music. Why on earth aren’t they spreading people out in times if Covid? Half the restaurant had tumbleweed blowing through it, and the other half was crammed full of people shouting over the music. We decided to find the waitress and ask to be moved. She walked straight past us. So we went to the reception area to ask there. Of course, there was no server to be seen. We hung around and an employee shuffled up, dumped some cutlery down, and then shuffled away without even acknowledging us or the other woman who had been waiting there long before we were first seated. In the end we walked out. Absolute joke of a place. The only decent employee was...
Read moreWe had a 3 pm reservation. Reservation was made almost a month prior. When we walked in, we were told by the hostess that they were closing at 4 pm. Someone in our party asked if they expected us to be done with our Father's Day dinner in an hour as we had a reservation. The norm is 90 mins. The hostess nonchalantly said yes. We decided not to stay as it would have been an inconvenience as we had family who drove from NH and the South Shore. When we left the restaurant, I noticed I had a voicemail left 9 mins prior. Voicemail stated I'm calling to confirm your reservation for 3 pm today. I hope you can come in a little early as we're closing at 4 pm today. I confirmed our reservation days prior. As it being Father's Day, we would have appreciated a heads up regarding your decision to close early on a holiday as I'm sure it wasn't made right at that second. It was unkind and unprofessional. We were able to get accommodated at Dooley's without a problem and had a great time with live music. As a former server and based on our treatment, doesn't seem like you all will be around much longer. Best of...
