About a month ago, I was with a friend in the Seaport and we were heading to a concert at the Pavilion. Â We decided to have dinner before the show, so Jerry Remy's was an easy choice. Â It's basically a 5 minute walk from the Pavilion. Â The place looks deceiving, because it's new-ish, has flat screen TVs all over the place, and has a cool atmosphere. Â However, the service is just not anywhere it should be. Â As mentioned by many other reviewers, the service just flat out sucks. Â We waited and waited and waited for our waitress to take our order, and then to get us drinks, and then to get us our food. Â Each time she came by, it felt like an eternity before she came back again. Â
I'm not even that picky when it comes to service; I'm actually extremely easy-going and was perfectly fine with the service, since it gave me more time to catch up with my friend. Â
What really put the nail in the coffin for them-- my friend and I were about to leave, and she had to go up to the bar to get her credit card. Â As we stood by the bar waiting for the bartender, one of their snotty, teenage-looking waitresses walked up behind me, told me to move, and put her hand in my face. Â Yes, I got "the hand"!!! Â (Wasn't that like a 90's thing?) Â Anyways, at first I had no clue what was going on, but then my friend realized I was a little too close to the space where waitresses pick up drink orders (not that this space was marked very clearly at all). Â I was willing to let it go, but when my friend pointed out to me how rude the waitress was, she overheard us and gave another snotty look. Â So, this little brat just killed it for me (wow, writing this review makes me feel sooo old :). Â Jerry Remy's may want to hire some new waiting staff that actually have class; clearly it's lacking.
We were down in the Seaport area for Harpoon's Octoberfest on a Saturday afternoon. Â After seeing a line of literally thousands, we decided to skip it, and stopped here for a late lunch and some drinks. Â The location is great. Â We were able to sit outside right next to the water.
They had a pretty extensive beer list, with a lot of local options, seasonals and your basic bud lights. Â We ended up ordering a burger and a sandwich, and had no complaints either. Â Not the best food we've ever eaten, but exactly what you would expect from a sports bar.
The service also was pretty good. Â Food was served quickly with a smile. Â Yes, it was a bit expensive, but no more than any other tourist destination on the water.
What an awful experience. Several friends and I came here with the idea of watching the Sox game, what a bad choice. This is not a sports bar, more like a nightclub sort of vibe. Â Loud, obnoxious music, poseur crowd.... It was jam packed, service was slow, they wouldn't seat us for just drinks so we had to order some food even though we'd just eaten. I guess if you're looking to mix and mingle it might be fine, so I won't give it one star, but I'm never going back.
Review Source:I waited 15 minutes in the pouring rain to get in for my boyfriend's birthday, which happened to be on a hockey finals night. Â He is a hockey fanatic. This has never been my kind of place, but If you like sports and TV screens and noise, it's probably right up your alley. Â
Pro: Â You can watch TV from absolutely anywhere. Â If it's not a window, it's a TV screen. Â
Con: Â Every TV screen shows sports. Â On this day, every screen showed hockey. Â
Pro: Â The satellite connection died for 10 blissful minutes. Â
But to seriously attempt a review without my anti-sports bias...
There were no seats available and never would be. The waitlist was 2 or 3 pages, but the host added our party to it anyway and even gave us the little beeper thingy with the flashing red lights that would continue to blink hopefully at us long after the game was over. Â We heard from someone else on line that it's mobbed like this on any night with a sports event. Â
The drinks and food are not terribly overpriced. Â I ate a slider that wasn't so great. Â The chef may have crafted it with a celebration of hockey in mind. Â The patty was rock hard and had an old taste that no condiment was able to disguise. Â The waitress was cool with us opening up the cupcakes that someone brought for bf. Â
Somehow I ended up wearing a Bruins jersey and cheering for a team in a sport I can't stand. Â Those cheap UFOs, no doubt.
I struggled with whether or not this merited 2 stars. I really want to like this place but there are just too many strikes against it.
First off, it's supposed to be a Sports Bar, loads of screens and a staff that is very willing to find whatever obscure College game you want and put it on a screen for you. However, on a Saturday they keep turning the music up so deafeningly loud it seems they want to be a nightclub. First sports bar I have ever been to that didn't have a TV feed on the sound system.
They do have a lot of beers on tap, but they are heavily biased towards IPAs of which I am not a fan. Can't really fault them for it, that's a personal preference.
And finally there is the food, which lies somewhere between OK and awful. Some things are fine, like the burger or the steak salad. Then some things are dreadful at a level that takes a special kind of effort, like the woefully undercooked, nearly raw chicken sandwich. And then there was some desert that tasted like store bought instant pudding with whipped cream.
In short, if you are looking to watch (and hear) a college game or eat, find somewhere else.
If I could give it half a star I would, and that half of a star would be strictly for location. Well first I waited forever to have someone ask me if I would like a cocktail at the bar.. I've heard they make a weak mixed drink so I went with a cider because no one can mess that up. So I finally get my drink and decide I should probably pick on so,ethic if Im going to be drinking and last all night. Well I decided in having chowder --- a Boston staple and I mean mostly everywhere has decent chowder..right? Wrong. So when the attitudes bartender finally returns to ask what I want she responds with "and that's it?" Then snatches the menu away and stalks off. So my chowder arrives and it is only what could be described as overly salty chicken pot pie gravy with a grainy texture and over cooked potatoes. Ow bite I wince, I take a second and I realize this is not going down. So I decide I will just polish my cider off and leave because there is nothing keeping me there. So I push my chowder away and finish drink and finally rude tacky bartender prowls over and questions me to why I didn't it eat. She also remarks that she hope I don't expect to get it for free. I reply I never asked for it to be removed, I mean hey I did order the gross slop. So I get my check and Miss Congeniality at the bar reminds me it wasn't her fault that I didn't eat my chowder aka don't reflect that in her tip. Really? Even if it wasnt inedible slop her attitude would have been enough for me to not tip her. I will never ever go back. What a waste of a gorgeous location.
Review Source:Only acceptable b/c they have an entire wall made out of TV screens, making it ideal for catching the Stanley Cup. Other than that, I'm going to go ahead and say it's totally mediocre.
Saturday night of a big game, we waited in line somewhere btwn 60-90m - fortunately once we got inside it wasn't a total zoo - there was plenty of space to people watch the glory that is Boston's Seaport bar scene on a weekend evening. The crowd is a kind of seasoned douche-bro meets Ed Hardy afficionado meets girls in wedge heels and eff loads of makeup - caliente.
While the beer on tap selection is good and comes in pretty large glasses, it's $9 for a beer, which is kind I steep, I think? Not to mention that I got a vodka soda that was straight up soda water...I mean....it was refreshing and thirst quenching, I guess...But didn't really warrant its price tag. Oh, and the food is pretty gross AND pretty expensive. Weak.
Overall, if you need to watch a game, it's solid, but get there early or be prepared to wait - and maybe pregame if you're planning to get shwasted, or else you'll easily run $40+/pp for booze only. And don't eat. Bartenders are friendly-ish.
This is my second trip to this location.  Both visits great!  This place is a lot of fun.  Plenty of sports on the walls of TV's, pop music banging through the speakers, and a staff that looks like they're having a great time too.  Standout menu items are the Nachos (a must), the burgers, the fries and of course the RemDawg Hot Dog!  Is it high end? No!  Is it a goodtime out at a better than average sports bar in a beautiful setting? Abso-Effing-Lutely!  The tourist and purist alike can sit side by side and really enjoy themselves.  I see a lot of kids in here, but I wouldn't really recommend  it as particularly kid friendly.  It is a bar after all. Never been here for an actual game, but I'm sure it's a rockin' place to be.
Review Source:Too loud. Â Too expensive for what you get. Â Service is painfully slow and my order came out wrong as well as my friends'. Â The night I went they were out of FRIES. Â The sweet potato fries were quite good, but they made literally the worst Tom Collins I have ever had in my entire life (unforgivable!)
They did have an excellent host who was very polite and tried to accommodate us as best as possible. Â BUT I would definitely not go again, especially with Legal Test Kitchen right across the street.
I've been a patron of Jerry Remy's at the seaport since it opened but had the worst experience a few Saturdays ago when I went to watch some football with some friends. We were able to secure a table in the corner of the bar area and were happy with that. We had a decent sized group and some of us were standing having a great time until we kept getting pushed over by one particular waitress who kept barreling through us. No "excuse me", no "Sorry". I was fuming as was my group of friends.
We all understand that you have work to do and people are happy when they get their food/drinks on time but if you're literally knocking over the rest of the people to get to the bar to pick up your table's drinks, NO ONE is going to want to come back. I certainly have told everyone that has recommended going to Remy's to watch the game how rude the staff was there on this particular day.
Stressful days are a part of everyone's lives/job, but if you're not happy at work when you work with a large amount of people, you SHOULDN'T be working there. This particular waitress left a very sour taste in our mouths. Luckily, she wasn't even our waitress or we wouldn't have tipped AT ALL. We had a wonderful waiter who made us feel like we were his only table in a large restaurant.
Good-bye Remy's, it's been real.
Sincerely,
Not being a "push over"
BIGGEST SCREENS for Game Day Viewing!
BUT...Bullying staff makes you feel like
you are constantly in their way...and you are.
The bar was so crowded that I could only stand in place.
My "place" was in the back isle of the square shape of the bar.
I couldn't walk around or talk to my friends without yelling.
This did NOT stop their staff from talking to me,
only to repeatedly tell me to "move" (WHERE???)
so that I did not block the servers way through the isle.
THE DEAL: Â You better get a seat at the bar,
or a booth in the back...or YOU will be "in the way."
The only good thing this place has going for it is the location. That's what keeps it busy. It's in an area where people are going out to be seen.
Drinks are mediocre, if they are made correctly.
Food is frozen, reheated bar food. And overpriced for the quality.
Service is awful, unless you are a group of hot business men tipping like crazy.
However, it's down the street from a hotel I frequent for business so I am sure I will be there again. It's the location!
Too crowded, packed, and rowdy. We got here and they said it was a 1-2 hour wait? Wtf?! What kind of time frame is that?? Anyway, got some beers, food and what not. Place is loaded with flat screen TVs everywhere. However, service lacks and food is bland.
Nice view though... that's about it.
I've been here a few times, had a good experiences. Today I came here to watch the Pats game, knowing they have plenty of TVs. We arrived early and found a high top table where all of us could see the Patriots. Mid way through the first quarter they switch the game on the TV by our table to the Giants. They made up a bull shit story about how the satellite company controls which game is on each tv when asked to switch it back.
What kind of sports bar doesn't control the TVs? If they had just taken responsibility and fessed up to deliberately switching to another game I wouldn't have written this review.
I spent the rest of the game turned around, trying to watch on an opposite wall with an obstructed view. I won't be coming here to watch a game again.
Remy's has an impressive view, and I was going to Fenway for the first time that night, so it seemed like a good spot for a quick lunch. We were starving!
It took about 5 minutes to be acknowledged at the door, where the manager and hostess were involved in deep conversation - with their backs to the door.
We watched as two other tables were seated after us and had their drinks before anyone came to our table - at least four staff, including two waitresses walked by our table repeatedly during this time. We actually carried on a 2-3 minute debate on whether or not to walk out and lose the time invested when we were soooo close to food and beer.
Finally, my husband flagged down a waitress, who apologized and immediately took our order (citing a shift change as the cause for confusion), and from that point, things were much better. Within a couple minutes we had our beer, and our food was out in about 10 minutes, shorter than the wait time to be noticed.
I feel bad to give only two stars and struggled with the third, but here's my reasoning. Â First, when I'm starving, I don't like to wait. If I have to wait, just a nod and a beer is enough to pacify me - I'm really not that picky. We were actually considering just walking out, and they probably wouldn't have even noticed. The guys at the table next to us had similar complaints. Â
Most importantly, we were in Boston for such a short time, With so many other great choices for food, I feel like we could have done better. Tourist traps shouldn't be such a letdown.
----
About the food:
I had the wicked steak tips, and my husband had a big bacon burger. Both were pretty good but nothing spectacular. I did like their fries. I wish I'd gotten my fries in the little basket thing - they got a little soggy next to the steak, so I did not finish them.
I also enjoyed the beer selection. The 23oz option is nice. The atmosphere is excellent, too. Sports bars are great, but on Boston waterfront is really special.
----
Anyways... To wrap it up:
I am taking this a little more personally... it was my birthday. Because of the terribly slow start, we didn't have time to make the afternoon Harpoon tour.
The only thing that makes me feel bad about not giving the third star was the waitress that served us and the cooks that got our food out so quickly. If not for their effort, we probably would have just walked out.
We were headed to the Harpoon Brewery tour and decided to hang out here while we waited. Â We read other reviews on here and saw the low rating, so we approached with caution.
For a place that received such low ratings, it was crazy busy in there. Â We took a seat at the bar and were happy with the number of screens and different games on. Â It was nice. Â Our bartender was nice and very attentive. Â We ordered the clam strips and the New England Clam Chowder. Â The soup left something to be desired (almost like it came from a can). Â The clam strips weren't that bad. Â They were crispy and fresh. Â Only downside is that it was extremely oily (but hey, bar food right?). Â There was also quite a selection of beers.
The only downside we have to this place was the hard liquor. Â The bf decided to have a Maker's on the rocks and it was CLEARLY watered down. Â Yeah, gross and uncool.
Overall, bill came out to $60. Â Not too bad considering we got 3 beers, a shot, and two appetizers. Â However, I probably wouldn't come back unless I was in the area and had the same lack of options we had as we did today.
Came thru for a late lunch during the Tall Ships / OpSail event. The place was packed from wall to wall with a nice crowd witnessing Spain crush Italy in the Euro Cup. I wanted so badly to love my visit here simply because of the fact that I think Jerry Remy aka The Remdawg is the man. That said......
The menu was pretty disappointing, as there aren't many dishes to choose from. The Remdawg hot dog is a big frankfurt, but lacked everything else. I'm a hot dog head for life, but The Remdawg I can do without. *fart noise with thumbs down*. I'd rather The Fenway Frank.... Twice.
The location and venue layout is the best part of this place. There's a large deck area alongside the waterfront that stretches beyond the restauarant with ample outdoor seating and flatscreens galore. Be prepared to pay for parking of course, this is Boston after all.
Jerry, I still think you're the shit. Once a Red Sox, ALWAYS a Red Sox.
*Beantowns Finest*
4 of us went in for lunch after the golf expo - it wasn't bad - until the Bruins game started. Then it was so loud we couldn't even have a conversation. I saw 3 other tables around us complain about the noise - as did we. Our server was really sweet, and said she thought it was too loud too, but the manager wouldn't turn it down.
I realize it's a sports bar, but it seems pretty messed up that despite at least four complaints, the manager doesn't even consider slightly less volume?
So after after a trip to Harpoon, we found ourselves in the search for food and end up stopping here.
The food was great, tried the burger and sweet potato fries, and one of my friends tried the chicken ceaser wrap, both delicious! It was a cloudy day when we went, but when its nice out there is a great view of the harbor.
So if you so happen to find yourself in the search for food after a Harpoon Brew tour, Jerry Remy's is def someplace worth checking out.
I came here last night for a work function and really enjoyed myself.
The bar is a sports fan's wet dream. TV's as far as the eye can see, even inside the mirrors in the bathroom. Everywhere you look, the game is on. Not my thing but my boyfriend would be in heaven here.
As a group, we just ordered beer and apps. The buffalo wings, the only thing I ate, were outstanding and had great flavor. The service was a little off. Someone at my table ordered a beer, and the server came back 20 minutes later and asked him if he wanted to order a beer - she forgot. I ordered a water and she came back shortly after with other drinks, promising my water was on its way. It never came. But otherwise it has a great atmosphere and good food as far as I can tell. It's definitely a decent place to go for a weekday happy hour.
If I lived in Boston I can pretty much guarantee I'd be here on the weekends watching whatever Boston team was playing. Â We went on Saturday afternoon and this place was FILLED with eye candy. Â FILLED. Â I imagine it may be hard to lure their attention away from the game, but I'm not opposed to trying. Â
Food was decent. Â Service - ok.
Did I mention all the men? Â Wow.
Hit this place after going to the Boston Convention Center. It was pretty packed! We were still able to get a round or two even without having a bar seat. We eventually got a table and ordered some food. Not impressed. I think this place is more about location, people and drinking. I will say the Rem Dog was HUGE.
Definitely a sports bar with tv's everywhere including in the mirror of the bathroom which is AWESOME! We caught the Celtics/Lakers game. Unfortunately Celts lost but it's still a great place to watch a game regardless.
Beautiful view of the harbor. Outdoor seating on a warm summer night with a cold beverage doesn't get much better. I will be back soon to find out for sure.
I've been to the Fenway location as well as the Waterfront. Â
This is a great place to watch games. It's always jammed packed with lots of fans and there are a TON of huge TVs. Not really a bad seat in the house. They have a good selection of beers including Rapscallion Honey on tap. Ohhh how I love Rapscallion!!!!
Do not come here looking for good food, cuz they don't have it. It's ok for a burger and some fried food but nothing special. Also, they don't really seem to have the staff to keep up with busy days at either location. Last time I was at the Fenway location they had about 4 hosts standing around doing nothing and 2 bartenders BUSTING their asses for a packed house - Â which meant about a 20 minute wait for a drink.
Service was unbelievably slow at the Waterfront as well.
I'd come back to sit at the bar but not to get a table for dinner.
Have a drink or for some of you writing reviews three or four drinks!
Its a sports bar people, seriously. Â Not a five star restaurant or metro club or even family night out.
The music is going to be loud, the place is going to be crowded so don't bother bringing your strollers after 7pm or your parents expecting anything more than this.
Remember who's name is on the building. Â He plays with a stuffed wally doll and gets paid to be comic relief for Red Sox games, Â what where you expecting?
The food is supposed to be average and music loud. Its a sports bar. Its for getting off your couch, leaving your kids at home, and meeting your  friends to  have a few drinks, watch a game on one of the huge TV's and breathe in your moment of freedom where your friends use your actual name and not Mom or Dad or just  your last name.
Its a sports bar. Its for laughing at your self, releasing the stress of a long week, bringing friends old and new together and oh yeah drinking a cold beer or your favorite drink.
Its a sports bar.
This place leaves me confused. Â We were in Boston for the long weekend from Chicago and were looking for a place to watch the Bears/Lions MNF game while we were there. Â While at a different bar, we asked the bartender for suggestions... our intentions were to go to The Fours but thought we might get a local's perspective. Â He told us Jerry Remy's would be better, that area by the Fours might be kinda dead on a non-game night. Â Okay, sweet.
We walked in and were immediately blown away by the crazy huge TVs at the end of the bar. Â Found two seats at the bar right away, it was comfortably crowded and seemed like we made a great decision.
Still had an hour until the game started so we ordered two beers, started a tab and ordered chicken tenders. Â They were actually really good. Â I hadn't read any of the reviews beforehand about food but they were the best chicken fingers I've had in awhile. Â
The one bartender looks like a dark haired Kasey (from the Bachelor Pad) and acted pretty much just as douchey. Â He would stand back, looking douchey, not paying attention to the lack of full drinks in front of anyone at the bar. Â Oh except the one fireman or someone important who apparently was drinking for free and eating for free and getting his ass kissed all night. Â But I digress...
Anytime we took the ten minutes to flag him down to get a drink, he asked what the name on the card was. Â Okay first time, fine. Â We sat there for five hours and EVERY TIME he asked what the name on the card was. Â That's seven beers and two orders of food later...
Speaking of the second order of food... we got nachos which they hilariously describe as "guaranteed to have cheese on every chip" on the menu. Â Probably the worst nachos of my life, definitely not cheese on every chip, you goddamn liars. Â Also, tiny pile of toppings directly in the center of the chips. Â WTF? Â My eight year old cousin can make nachos at home in the microwave better than this.
Last complaint... I know, I'm long winded... this place was just too weird. Â What is with the music? Â I get not turning the sound to the game on, it's two midwest teams on Monday night but alternating actual dance/bar songs with ballads? Â Adele, Justin Beiber, John Mayer, Coldplay? Â What the hell?
The icing on the cake... realizing when we got home that we were charged for random Blue Moon (which neither of us were drinking) in addition to our drinks. Â So he can't remember which one is our card the whole night but somehow picks it up to charge an extra drink to. Â Awesome, buddy.
Came here for a night out with a friend to celebrate a new job. Â We figured we could peruse around the South Boston waterfront for a night out, grab some drinks, and generally have a good time. Â So, we figured we would start off at Remy's. Â The bar was packed, and since it is in the center of the bar area, you have to move in circles just to get around. Â People sitting at the bar, people standing directly behind them and people standing along the walls makes it hard to traverse. Â
The only good part of this... they weren't charging cover since it is also a restaurant along with an extensive beer list gives it some appeal.
The crowd was rather interesting, but everyone is rather harmless. Â However, the male to female ratio was extremely high. Â And I hate to tell you ladies, the guys had an unsolicited lame pickup line for every female that walked by. Â The guys are all the same in the area -- they all work in some type of financial service, all live on the east side of Southie, and they all shop at J Crew or Banana Republic. Â How cute.
The service is terrible. Â The bartenders are mostly female and serve the guys first. Â
Needless to say, we didn't last long and instead went into Boston.
I like it here. I especially like the buffalo chicken wrap. This ginormous wrap is stuffed to the brim with shredded chicken which seems to have been soaked in some glorious bleu cheese-buffalo sauce concoction. So good. And even better as leftovers the next day.
Not sure why there are so many negative reviews for this place -- I guess I wasn't keeping and eye out for the heavily noted Jersey Shore-esque patrons. I was pretty hypnotized by my wrap. And the gorgeous view. And the gigantic screens playing the Red Sox game. Priorites people!
I don't understand why this place has been Yelp machine-gunned with one and two star reviews. My experience was more smooth and event-less than any other crowded place along the waterfront.
Everything from the doorman greeting me to the hostesses acknowledging me immediately and courteously pointing my way to the bar to finding a seat at said bar to getting my drink within two minutes to being checked in on peridoclly (despite the ever thickening barrage of polo shirts and kahki shorts) Â to being given a glass of water that was even re-filled, to being served nicely with a genuine smile, to the huge two colossal screens broadcasting the Red Sox game, in additon to being able to watch said game no matter where my neck swivled my face in the place, was all so seemingly sublime.
Modern, sleek, cool, spacious and efficient. The bartender baseballish outfits are as cute and hot as the bartenders that fill them. Throw in the al fresco option and wide glass doors that open up the bar to a summer breeze and decent view of the port has me rat-a-tatting this place with four stars.
Bad food Bad Service! Â I recently went here with a group of 9 for a work dinner. Â We did everything we possibly could do to try and make sure we got their early put our name in for a table and what not to avoid a long wait. Â However the policies here make it impossible, Â they won't take your name in advance, Â won't even put you on the list until at least 6 of us were at the restaurant. Â Once we were finally able to be put on the list we were told it would be 30 minutes, Â after about an hour we were told it would probabbly be best if we went somewhere else. Â We stuck it out and ended up getting a table after an hour and a half wait. Â
The nacho's came out cold and the cheese in the middle wasn't melted, looked like it came right from the package.
Of the 9 entrees, 2 were forgotten causing an additional delay. Â 2 people had the vegeterian burger and thought it was disgusting, basically just a pile of mushy vegetables, nothing like the menu description. Â Â The waitress inquired as to why they weren't being eaten but didn't offer any type of solution when she was told they were bad. Â Of the 9 members of our party only 1 was satisfied with her meal (apparently the cod is good). Â
Oh ya and forgot to mention it took me over 10 minutes to get a drink from the bar when I first arrived. Â Â
Don't waste your time or money. Â Such a disapointment for such a great location. Â Worst dining experience I've had in a long time!
Went here on April 19 to watch the Celtics playoff game.
My three friends and I were seated and we each ordered a beer. I ordered a porter draft and got a light beer. When I told the waitress she came back telling me that was the porter but was a "light" porter.
We were there for about 4 hours and had quite a few beverages. Almost every single beer order was incorrect. We were actually joking around with the waitress saying "what mystery beer are you bringing us back this time." She laughed it off and apologized saying it was her first day - fine.
Then we ordered food and I got a Bacon Cheeseburger and my burger came without the bacon. They can't even get this right. At this point I complained and got the manager. He told me they "ran out of bacon." And also told me they "ran out of the porter" beer I ordered. So I guess this place will just serve you something else at their discretion if they run out of the item they have displayed in their menu.
Now to the game. I think this is suppose to be a sports bar. Remember this is a CELTICS PLAYOFF GAME. As soon as halftime started the guy decided he would rather have music playing. Then he forgot the music was on because the game came back on and music was still running. We had to complain to the bus boy because the waitress must've been taking a nap. About half way through the 3 quarter they finally put the commentary on. However - as soon as the game ended, guess what happened, YUP the crappy music was back on. Not even a victory song, nope. The crappiest music that can ever be played at a sports bar. When I asked why the music came back on the response I got was "the music guy must have a heavy finger."
The only reason for the 1 star was because the food was ok. Thank goodness they know how to fry food.
This place is such a JOKE. I will never go back and would discourage anyone from trying it. There are so many better sports bars in Boston.
I'm an out-of-towner looking for a place to watch the NBA playoffs for an out of market team. This place came pretty highly recommended, but I ended up being pretty disappointed. The facilities themselves are actually pretty nice. A combo of the old-style wood interior with a plethora of HD TV's all over the place, clean bathrooms, and an interesting view of the waterfront. Since I knew that I was probably the only person in the establishment not watching the Celtic's game I asked for a small seat in the corner. The manager on duty was happy to oblige, but it went all downhill from there.
I got a table right by the door with an awful viewing angle. Every time the door was opened I got a nice blast of the cold & wet Boston weather on my back. About 20 minutes after being seated, I had to ask the hostess for a waitress & a menu. (Apparently I could not be seen despite being 6 feet away from their stations.) Once I got a waitress and a menu I was promptly told about what was missing from the menu and nothing about specials, etc. The disappointment with the beer selections did not stop there. I ordered twice more only to find out that they had either "just sold the last of it" or "were in the process of changing the keg." Once I settled on a beer, I moved on to ordering dinner.
Yet again, I was informed of a few items that were not available that evening. Similar to by beer selections, I attempted to order one of their "signature" dishes only to find out that they had "just run out." I finally settled on the blackened chicken sandwich which was surprisingly decent though a bit oversized.
Once I polished off my dinner I settled in for the remainder of the game, or so I thought. As soon as the early (Celtic's game) finished my television was determined to be expendable. The channel was changed without warning disregarding the fact that my team was making a run and had cut their deficit from 14 to 4 in the last 2 minutes. I had to ask / argue with the hostess yet again for her assistance. While she was happy to relay the message it took a few critical moments to resolve the issue. God-forbid that they change any of the other 40 tv's in the bar!!!
So despite my bad experience I still give this place 2 stars. The ambiance and the facility is pretty nice. Outside of that pretty much everything else was well below expectation...below average food, below average service, and below average drink selections. It would take a lot for me to go back to that place.
The one star is for the fact that the manager was nice enough to come over comp us for the meals we didn't touch. I mean one bite... push it away!
The design and location of the place in terms of view is great. Restaurant was clean.
FOOD WAS TERRIBLE!!! I ordered turkey club and my boyfriend ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. The chicken in the buff chicken wrap was shredded and came from a can ... (yes you can buy chicken in a can) the sandwich looked terrible. (like pulled pork)
My turkey club was on this terrible bread which was ice cold and stale, it had no flavor. Â Both sandwiches tasted like food you get on an airplane, like that packaged in plastic, been in a fridge for two days taste. Horrible... I have to say easily the worst sandwich I have ever had at a restaurant. Â Who wants an ice cold bread/or wrap... If i wanted that i could get that at a 7/11.
The waitress we had was very nice but unknowledgeable about the food on the menu and was training (on a friday night? hummm is this really a good idea.)
We love the Remy's at Fenway.... so surprised the experience here was so different.
Was here Friday night at 9:45pm. The only words to describe my experience...Gawd Awful. Close to the worst bar experience I have ever had.
There was a wait, no biggie. The place is new. In the 5-8 minutes we waited more than one drunk fool was booted by the place. Yay...less people so we can come in right? Nope, guess we aren't special. Door guys seemed to be letting anyone who just walked up and acted important. Â Finally a big group walked out and me and Lauren V got in.
Holy crap the place was packed. Packed in an understatement. Like you couldn't move. To get from one end of the bar to the other..10 minutes. Not exaggerating. I was able to score drinks pretty fast once I finally made it to the bar (only because my friends were there ahead of us by 20 minutes and were just getting served).
After grabbing 2 beers we tried to find somewhere to stand. Where did we end up...the only space that had room for 6 people...in front of the men's room. While trying to shimmy our way over to the standing spot, we were pushed and elbowed by other patrons while saying "excuse me" in the nicest way possible every 5 seconds as well as being pushed out of the way by servers with large trays of drinks. While trying to get to our spot we overhead a manager saying into his bouncers, "stop letting people in".
So we drink out beers and we're like "we need to get the F out of here...its just way to crowded". So I walk over to the bar and ask for my tab. They let me know I need to go to the other end of the bar, by the service bar to close out my tab. Ok awesome...this is going to be another obstacle course, but I can do it!
I get to the service bar area and wait.....and wait....and wait. Eye contact completely avoided by all bartenders. I get it, you're busy. So now is the reason for the 1 star. Â I finally get the attention of a bartender and ask "can I just close my tab"...dude man looks at me and the does the "talk to the hand" hand motion to me and says "Not now". Huh? What just happened here? Did I really just get a hand in my face...from the bartender? Sure did!
A few minutes later a female bartender took pity on me and got my tab.
Never again Jerry Remy's...never again.
Generally, a bad experience just makes me want to leave an establishment and never return. In the case of Jerry Remy's, I fervently hope that it burns to the ground.
Being relatively new is no excuse for the abysmal service and inept management we encountered on a Friday night.
First, I am always skeptical of any place with a line in Boston. Generally, it means bouncers on a power trip and is a harbinger of a too-clubby bar. While the bouncers here were certainly indifferent, they weren't rude or patronizing. And during our few minute wait in line, they certainly were adept at tossing a handful of overly-served patrons out of the bar. However, as bouncers they should have done a better job monitoring the number of patrons.
Which brings me to issue number 2. The management needs to get a grip on their team. Passing servers elbowing and glaring at patrons who have nowhere to go thanks to the manager's perception that capacity is infinite will not do. After being shoved repeatedly by not only patrons but by servers, managers and bartenders I heard one manager whisper to another "maybe we should not let any more people in?" Yeah, maybe you should have thought of that two hours ago. The only people you should be letting in are more bartenders. When, within a 35 minute period, I see 4 people being hauled out for being too drunk it means your bartenders are too busy to mind dram shop laws. Two or three bartenders on a Friday night is a rookie mistake.
Third, the bartenders are rude. My friend went to close her tab and had a bartenders hand waved in her face. When the shock registered on her face, he let out an exasperated sigh and walked away. I realize that being understaffed is stressful. What it is not, however, is license to be rude to a patron who is simply trying to escape.
I hope this place goes out of business soon so something better can move into the spot.
