This is an amazing dive bar. Incredibly cheap and have great daily deals. Hard to get a meal deal and some beers and spend more then 10 dollars. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
They have groupons every now and then. But if its just two people going you may not be able to spend the 30 dollars needed. I suggest get lunch for the next day as well.
Went there with a party of 8. Â We had 4 children on the group. Â When we arrived there we weren't sure this was appropriate for kids but it was fine. Â The food was very good And fresh. Â Not typical pub food, great quality. Â
The service was slow but I believe this was due to the one waitress serving the entire restaurant.
Would try this place again and would recommend.
The Cellar is a solid spot for cheap food/beers. It's dimly lit with at least 10 flat screen tv's for optimal sports viewing. A negative is that they don't have NFL Network/Red Zone so don't go there on a Sunday expecting to be able to watch your pick of the NFL games on that day. Other than that, the place is kept really clean and the servers are great.
Review Source:Although I've lived in Abington for over 25 years I only tried  this place about a month ago.  My wife and I tried on a whim when the Abington Depot was closed for vacation and we are definitely fans.  We have been there weekly now. It's definitely a townie place and is indeed in a cellar.  The bartenders always make you feel welcome and they have a pretty fair selection of beers (I wish they had more imports on tap like a good IPA)  There is a food special just about every night. $2.00 bar pizzas Sunday and Monday for instance (eat in only.)  Really like their appetizers here which are available at half price on some nights.  Just the other night I was trying to decide between wings and mini tacos and the bartender told be right out that the mini tacos weren't that good  that I should go with the wings.  That gets extra points from me for being frickin' honest!  The wings were awesome (can be ordered with a variety of sauces but had the buffalo).  The Ultimate Nachos are just OK mainly due to the chili.  They make their own chili but it's pretty bland stuff and needs a taste  boost (dude - try some chili pepper and cumin)  The onion rings and french fries are just excellent.  The pastrami sandwich was very tasty and well portioned.  You can see from the items reviewed that this is NOT a fine dining establishment.  It's just a really good, reasonable, friendly neighborhood pub.  And that's a big plus in my book.
Review Source:The Cellar Tavern is a place everyone in the area should try out. Even on a Sunday at 10pm it was bustling and had live music. Service at the bar was excellent, especially considering how busy it was. Nice selection of draft at a reasonable price and a good crowd. I can't believe I haven't been here before. I will certainly be back soon with some of my friends.
Review Source:this place is legit. from the brick walls to the old school beer ads on the wall. Â bring your dad or hang with your buddies.
bartenders/staff are friendly, no expectations, non-pretentious
hang out, play the juke box. play that weird table game I can't remember what it's called.
fun times.
drink of choice: whiskey, beer
(make sure you can drive home. cops are looking for you on these streets)
Personally Danielle (My Girlfriend) and I love this place.  Since moving to Abington in 2009 we've regularlly have been going to the Cellar.  The Place has no bad smell to it.  It smells fine.  There's a mix of older and younger ppl in the afternoon.  The same can be said for the night maybe more younger then older but a nice mix none the less.  8 Giant LCD 57inch flat screens line the walls along with great sports paraphernalia (pictures, newspapers, signs, etc).  They always have your favorite sports teams LIVE on TV.  Half price apps sun and mon, and half price pizza mon and thur.  The pizza is good bar pizza.  And the food is above normal for a bar.  It's very tasty.  They have special everyday which we've never had a special we have not liked.  She's telling me to say the Seafood scallop and shrimp special we had last week was 5 star quality.  They have great drinks.  $2 dollar draft beer,  and strong liquor drinks are among some.  The staff is friendly, we love Heather, Justin, and Rachel to name a few.  If ppl had a problem at the Cellar i'm pretty sure they were drunk and just in a bad mood.  I can confidently say as of December 20 of 2011 everything I said above is how the Bar is today.  Rachel, One day I will win Yahtzee!  Give it a shot, we love it!  Email me or Add me on facebook at <a href="mailto:Josephmsico@yahoo.com">Josephmsico@yahoo.com</a>  <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjosephmsico&s=a97b70cc563d2f7e28f2099856a443420598bfd30cb3675eadf7a90e3aa7c11e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/…</a>
Review Source:Let's just take a minute and think about the place we're reviewing. Â This isn't fine dining, it's a bar in the cellar of a building. Â Hence..."The Cellar". Â Keep that in mind before you blast in like it's a high end eatery.
That being said, I love this place. Â It is set up much like it's name says. Â It's down the stairs, its dark, people may look at you funny if your not a regular. Â What else could youi want?
They have in my opinion probably the coldest pint I have ever had. Â Think about a beer slushy. Â How they get their mugs that cold is beyond me. Â And for $2 domestic drafts? Sign me up.
The food is fantastic too. Â Great sandwiches and burgers, appetizers and entrees. Â I highly recommend the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with onion rings. Â And if you are around during the day, they have a $5 lunch menu. Â
Finally, don't forget to take your roll of the Yahtzee dice. Â For one dollar, you get one roll per shift. Â Get the Yahtzee, get the pot. Â I was in the day after Thanksgiving and the pot was somehwere over $1900.
It may seem counter-intuitive to give a "dive bar" a 5 star rating, but in this case, it's well deserved.
They've done a lot of work on the patio, to include installing a flat-screen TV, extending the awning, replete with tables and chairs. In the summer, or even on a chance nice afternoon, it's nice to sit outside. Being from Arizona, I miss a nice patio.
There is an extensive menu, but I'd stick to what they do best: Pizza, bar food, burgers and sandwiches. I was dead-set against eating there until I had one of their pizza's, and now I won't go anywhere else. My wife and I have sampled the bar fare pretty much all over the Rockland/Abington area, and other than a actual restaurant, you'll be hard pressed to find anything better in this neck of the woods.
The service is NOT what I would usually expect from a dive bar. The bartenders are not just friendly, but from my experience, have gone out of their way to give my wife and I fantastic service. It's a little shocking because we're hardly regulars. Bear in mind that the bartenders do double duty as waitresses, but even sitting on the patio, I can count on seeing someone at least every 10-15 minutes, and barring that, they have no problem taking an order at the bar, and running it out to wherever you may be sitting.
A word of warning: the temperature inside can fluctuate wildly. That actually has nothing to do with the staff, as much as it's just really drafty. Bring a sweatshirt and you'll be fine. The wife and I cracked the code on that a while ago, so bringing an extra layer to put on or remove is just a part of it's charms.
For drawbacks: It's not all that disabled friendly. I walk with forearm crutches, so navigating the steps can be slightly problematic at times, and there are steps coming down, and steps going up to the restroom. While I'm talking about the restroom... This would be The Cellar's only Achilles Heel. I have no idea what the ladies room is like (the wife has never complained however), but the men's room could certainly use a makeover. Put into perspective though... It's not like I go to a bar to drink some beers and have a pizza in the bathroom.
The crowd is a  younger at night, the daytime crowd is certainly mixed, and it's all over the place on Sunday's during football season. But don't let that throw you. We used to get the "who the hell are you" stares when we first started going there, but it's one of those places that has a lot of local regulars aka Day Drinkers. Don't worry, they don't bite.
Overall, I'm happy that I looked past some of the stigma that this type of dive bar tends to have... I've been happily surprised to the extent that my wife and I no longer go to TK O'Shea's, which used to be our little hang-out, and now that the patio is looking good, we won't be going to the Abington Ale House.
It can't be wrong if it feels so right...right? Â The name doesn't sugar coat - this is a cellar without pretentiousness or attitude and a little crusty around the edges and I love it. Â
Drinks are cheap and strong, the service is efficient and friendly (and yes, 90% are cute girls) and the food is GOOD!! Â The pizza is excellent as are the burgers and they always have great (and well priced) specials.
It is definitely a mixed bag when it comes to the crowd - but that is part of the appeal. Â Weekends usually have good DJ's or occasionally a band. Â Happy to have this place in my 'hood!
A little pub, located next to the train tracks, down from main street in Abington. We came for Halloween festivities, a car full of Boston kids, we knew the DJ, so even though it was small and seemingly a dive, we were prepared to enjoy ourselves. While busy trying to ignore the cons of this location, the cops were called, and the bar was shut down. It wasn't past 11pm, if that.
Apparently the mens room had blood covering something. We were asked to leave as it was now a 'crime scene', we had the cops follow us up the street to our car. Hopefully just a bad Halloween prank...
The mixed drinks were strong. They didn't have any of the usual beers that I drink on tap. I was forced to try shipyard pumpkin head, which for a spicy, seasonal didn't suck.
This place really looks like somebody built a bar in their basement.
Cheap beer and good pizza what more can you ask for? Â The only negative aspect is the HORRIBLE dj that they have on friday and saturday nights. Â Plays the music way too loud for such a small place, and sounds like a strip club dj on the mic between songs. Â But the drinks are strong, the staff is friendly, and the food is good, so its overall a positive experience.
Review Source:One word for the Cellar. . . FREEZING. Â A little overzealous on the air conditioning this summer, but otherwise a comfortable atmosphere. Â The Cellar, which is literally located down a flight of stairs in a basement, brick walled area, was a comfortable atmosphere for an early dinner and beer out. Â Sat at a table located away from the bar, in the middle of open room. Â The stools were of my favorite style for a bar, cushioned with backs! Â Love to be able to lean back when drinking a beer.
The food was tasty but nothing to write home about. Â Great variety to choose from for a small bar. Â The waitress came to check on us every once and a while, I would have liked if she passed by a few more times. Â Difficult when the bartenders are also the waitresses. Â Attention can easily get drawn in different directions and some customers forgotten. . . service can lack its timely manner.
Having never heard of the Cellar before, I was surprised to see tank tops and merchandise available for sale on the walls. Â Who knew? Â Like the outdoor tables/bar stool area to catch a cool breeze on a fading summer day. Â Perhaps I should have sat out here rather than freeze my toes off inside.
Entertainment seems to be plentiful. Â On the night I went a DJ was setting up taking all requests, any genre. Â Not a bad local place to get some friends together for bar night out.
I would have to say this is the best dive bar in the area. Â Just some background on this joint: this was the local spot in Abington for years and apparently the only people who went there were the local drunks. Â A couple of years ago a new owner bought this place so you get a younger crowd as well as the aforementioned alchys who have been there since the 1970's.
They have shuffleboard and a self serve popcorn thing (you try to figure out the proper name for it). Â The urinal has a corkboard with the sportspage pinned to it (some of the female yelping population may not appreciate this benefit). Â Beers are fairly cheap, there's food but I wouldn't touch it. Â What else can I say about this place? Oh, some of the bartenders aren't bad to look at (enormous fake breasts, anyone?) and they have free Xbox hooked up to a plasma TV.
