    our local pub.....managed by the amazing John..it's home from home for an Englishman.  sometimes gets a little noisy with sports and weekend nights to I prefer a quiet pint on an early weekday..but despite that...it's awesome.

    This was a nice little find while walking the end of the Freedom Trail in Charlestown on a mid-90 degree day.  We were having our mid-afternoon hankering for a brew, longing to get out of the heat, and lo and behold, my trusty Yelp app led me to the oldest tavern in the US!

    As it was early on a Tuesday afternoon, the clientele was a mix of tourists like us and locals...pretty quiet, all in all.  Inside, it is dimly lit with a low ceiling and a pretty expansive bar.  They have a few regional, craft offerings on tap (I had an Allagash White) and a decent menu for a tavern.  We were snacking all day so as not to get weighted down in a food coma, but to ward off getting "hangry" and the bruschetta did just the trick and was above average, with lots of marinated tomatoes and goat cheese.  Service was friendly and prompt.  Restrooms were tiny.

    If you find yourself nearing the end of the Freedom Trail and are seeking a reward beer with a side of history, this is a great stop.

    Ancient and atmospheric, yet your bar next door. The warren Tavern is timeless and unique - as a twenty-something I can swap stories that cross generation gaps with folks a few years (or decades) older than I, and the settings of our stories remain unchanged and perfectly intact. The Bar is well-run, you won't wait long for a drink. The food really surprised me, you don't pay for cheap bar-food, and you don't get cheap bar-food - you get a real, delicious meal. This place is good for a night out drinking, or a real good meal. I've been here on a variety of occasions - quiet nights, rowdy late nights, holidays and lunch - it never disappoints, and is never a bad choice. Enjoy your quick lesson in history, and visit the lovely Warren Tavern.

    This is a good American food for Americans. But for Asian gourmets...

    Sure I guess this place has some historical significance. This old bar in the heart of Charlestown may be fun at night, I wouldn't know I came in for lunch. We sat at the bar. Service was friendly but slow, the food was also very slow to come out.

    Lettuce Wraps - Almost like a salad with chicken on it, couched on a piece of lettuce. I think it used honey mustard. These are far from lettuce wraps I've had at PF Changs.

    Clam Chowder - Just normal clam chowder to me, nothing spectacular

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich - Mediocre and unmemorable. The highlight was that they used good chunky blue cheese with it.

    Great place.  The food is surprisingly good for what you would expect.  Burgers are excellent.  I'd take a tavern burger over a 4 Burgers or 5 Napkin Burger any day (but those places are overrated).  Their wings are also excellent.  Chowder is great.  Shepp pie is very good.  

    Only complaint is beer prices.  I wish they would just have 1 or 2 beers on draft for $4 instead of the $5.75 I think they're charging.

    This quaint tavern is tucked away in the cute area on Main St in Charlestown MA.  Established in 1780, this is the oldest tavern in America!  The history in this place is breathtaking- and the wait staff will tell you all about it.  I went on a Thursday night, and the tavern wasn't too crowded.  They serve food until 10:30pm and drinks until 2am.

    I ordered a Sam Adams seasonal and a caribbean/spicy grilled chicken sandwich.  The chicken breast was so juicy & delicious, and the spices were just right.  They make their own "fire roasted garlic mustard", and I couldn't get enough- and I'm not even a mustard fan!  I even bought a jar and brought it home.  I wish I could have visited this place again while I was in Boston/Cambridge!

    What a wonderful, welcoming little pub. We got there late and were famished, not to mention freezing, and the host was super friendly and took us right to a table in front of the fireplace. My date and I couldn't help but get very giddy as this was the start of our Boston mini-vacation, and already we were surrounded by New England colonial charm being toasted to perfection in front of this fire.

    It seemed like a cool crowd, mostly young 20ish people hanging out at the bar. The service was great, and the food was delicious. I didn't totally love my Fish and Chips but it just wasn't my usual style (i like it a little less fried), but my boyfriend got Lobster Mac and Cheese and omggg. It was to die for. I sorely regretted not ordering the same thing. There were actual chunks of lobster in it, and it was cooked to cheesy perfection. We also ordered a pair of New England Clam Chowders that were creamy and thick.

    Highly recommend this place for both its historical value and tastiness!

    O.M.G! I have to say, I could move just for the fish and chips at this place!
    I was out helping a friend move after her baby and she treated my husband and I to this nifty little place. We told her we wanted some authentic "East Coast" food... being the Californian's that we area and boy did she deliver! I had the Tavern Chips while the husband the grilled kielbasa. My son had some mac and cheese and I gave him a look... we came all the way here and he gets mac and cheese? Seriously, it was probably the best I had ever had. I also got to try the wings and calamari. I'm not always a fan of squid but it was pretty dang good too.

    The building is a charming local establishment with its own historical flair. Locals came and went and all in all it was a nice setting. I had a bit of a trouble with the booths, so if you are a larger girl like me you gotta squeeze in. I was pleasantly surprised with the staff. I read on here how some said that they felt that they weren't treated nice when they were from the west coast, but we didn't have a problem. We chatted with the waitress and told her we were just visiting. She was really friendly and offered some advice on local attractions... so I don't know?

    Overall, I was really impressed. The staff was good to us, refills kept coming. The only thing that gave this place 4 instead of 5 is because of the price. It was great food but it was 100 for all of us. When you get great food with delightful service you're going to pay for it but I was surprised considering it was still a local bar food eatery.  Eep. Maybe they charge a bit more for the ambiance? That being said, I would definitely go back on our next visit. Nice local place with East Coast charm and a touch of history. How can you go wrong? I really had no complaints - all in all it was a great dining experience.

    Man o man this place has got it right. The perfect crowd on a Friday night, Warren Tavern offers its customers a no frills environment. It does an excellent job with the ambience--mixture of old town feel with modernizations suited for the area.

    The bartenders were friendly and attentive and the crowd was 30-40ish year olds. All in all, it was my first time drinking in Chucktown but I will be back.

    Stopped by after visiting the USS Constitution for a little brunch. Food was good and service was great. Room is a bit stuffy but that's its charm. We had an above average lobster, so good onion soup and a very good breakfast burrito and breakfast fajita.

    My favorite place to go in Charlestown. The pulled pork sliders are awesome, and the sirloin sliders with cream cheese and sauteed onions are equally good. We also always get an order of the crab cakes. While they are not Capital Grille, for the price they are a nice little appetizer. Both the french onion soup and clam chowder are great as well. And do not forget to put the garlic mustard on EVERYTHING.

    They also have a fairly good draft selection and tvs to watch the games.

    My only complaint is that sometimes the service is slow. Twice when I have been there, they have had only two servers working, even though it was a weekend. Last time, they had around 6 servers, so the service was a lot better.

    Interesting place, not too crowded in mid-afternoon on a Saturday, and a memorable lunch stop.

    Our arrival at Warren was towards the end of a long day of sightseeing. Which included plenty of walking and stopping at a couple of Boston's historic pubs along the way... so by the time we entered this tavern, we were a little beat down and hungry, making a $55 lunch tab an easily reality. And while pretty much anything would have been tasty at this point, I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.

    Bill was dying for a lobster roll, and was aghast when I ordered fish and chips. I have no regrets though because it was delicious! Crispy fresh haddock, fries, coleslaw,and tartar sauce all washed down with a couple specialty brews (Sea Dog Blueberry Ale and a seasonal Watermelon I can't recall the name of) and that's about as happy as I get.

    We didn't explore the inside too much (on a schedule here), but I wish my phone hadn't been D.O.A so I could've taken a picture of my favorite detail, the lion's head bar rail holders. Wonder how old those are...

    This is an old school brunch/local tavern that has a really interesting feel to it. I know it sounds cheesy for me to say this, but this is one of those places you take your girlfriend for a sunday brunch, in order for her to say "oh this place is so quaint and cute."

    The breakfast burrito here is delicious, the waitresses here are reasonably attentive, and the coffee keeps flowing. The only downside is that the place gets somewhat packed - the tables are really close together and its hard to discuss last nights' shenanigans with your friends here, because there are families, and early 30's couples that come here to dine. I'm a big fan of privacy, so 1 star deducted, mainly because I asked to be seated at a more comfortable table that seats for (we were 2) and they refused. It was past rush time so I didn't see the big deal.....but what do I know.

    Lobster Roll and NY strip dinners with clam chowder and kielbasa appetizers turned out really good. Washed it all down with cold Blueberry Beer brewed by Seadog Brewing. A classic and historic setting combined with friendly and timely service made for a wonderful dining experience.

    The bar was pretty good too, we stopped in there earlier in the day to get out of the heat and stayed for a couple of beers and ice waters before ascending Bunker Hill to pay our respects at the Memorial. Check this place out if you're visiting Charlestown, it's a sure bet for good bar or restaurant, whatever you're looking for to satisfy your needs.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Charlestown, and also a great place to have a drink. It's a go-to choice when I have friends visiting town, because it injects some old-school Boston charm into some very decent tavern food. The restaurant isn't very large. My guess is that it seats up to around 40 people, not counting the bar. The bar area is in the middle, with two wings on either side that make up the dining area. Depending on where you sit, the atmosphere and noise levels differ. The left side is more secluded and a bit more romantic. It's insulated from the bar by a wall. The right side is more open and can be louder. It's more engaging and lively, especially when they have live peformers.

    In terms of the food, expect decent-quality tavern food. I recommend the chips over the fries if you decide to get some taters with your meal. If you get a beer, I recommend trying the Boston Brick Red if you haven't. It's only available in Boston!

    I wanted to give this place at least a two because the food was decent, but I can't do this place any favors after how I was treated today.

    I am a Californian, and I have generally had pleasant experiences with Bostonians; in fact, after studying in NYC for three years, the friendliness I experienced on my two short trips to Boston was a welcome change. I don't mean to insult Boston in any way. I just want to share how one waitress treated us like shit today after learning that my friends and I are from California. Can I say "shit" in a yelp review? I never have, because I've never been blatantly discriminated against by someone in the service industry before.

    This waitress was not a ray of sunshine from the get go, despite my friends' and my bubbly disposition. But upon us telling her that we were from California, she practically ceased being a server at all. First, she came by and just about slammed my glass of wine down on the table while walking by quickly and not even looking at us. I figured maybe she was just a horribly mannered rude person, until I realized that she was specifically treating me and only me like shit.

    When I had my food, she asked every customer surrounding me how they were doing, while completely ignoring me. She then proceeded to greet and hug other customers, thus ruling out the option that maybe she had just received a bad news phone call that soured her mood completely. When I went to the bathroom, my friends asked for the check and she rudely asked if she could clear the table before throwing the bill down.

    I left the waitress a one cent tip. Yeah, Paul Revere used to drink here, but I doubt Paul Revere would find it acceptable to discriminate against other fellow Americans (not implying we should discriminate against non-Americans, that's just my attempt at comic irony.)

    If I were a manager at this bar, I would tell this poor excuse for a waitress, see you next Tuesday...you're fired.

    Went here on Sat night with a group of 6. The bar section was cool. You can certainly see the age in it. The bar slants off to the left. If you put your drink in certain spots, it can move on its own. However, there is a lot of really cool historic items in here. I think one that is often overlooked, but really neat is a piece of old wooden piping that ran throughout the entire city before the more modern steel pipes were built. It is hanging from the ceiling, but if you do not know what it is, it is just a piece of wood hanging from the ceiling.

    I gave the place 3 stars, but it was really more of average of different parts of the experience. The hostess was kind of snotty when I told her that all of our party was not here yet. She would not let us take our table until all of us were there. i was ok with that, but then she muttered something and when I said "What"?, she would not respond. We just told her we would wait for our last couple and take the next table.

    Bar was worth 4 stars. Good choice of beer and friendly bartender. Our server was also a 4 star gal. She was very entertaining and made the night fun. However, the food was really only 2 stars at best. The apps were fine with the exception of the buffalo smelt that we ordered just for shits and giggles. We had several other apps like the sirloin sliders, lettuce wraps, and kielbasa. All were good. Main course were far from good. 2 people had scallops that were both way over cooked. I had halibut that was cooked ok, but was in so much butter, that the skin was just soggy as can be. One guy had the swordfish. It came with mushrooms, and it looked very blah. He only ate about half of it, so I dont think it was too good. Another guy had the haddock that was cooked ok, just was nothing special. Moral of the story is, stay away from the fish and stick with the bar food at this place.

    I would go back for the beer and maybe some apps, but hit somewhere else up that had better food for a full dinner.

    You've heard the spiel, and in fact, it's all true: The Warren Tavern may be the most historic watering hole in America; it is the oldest tavern in Massachusetts and was visited by the likes of George Washington and Paul Revere. The Warren Tavern also happens to be "my local".

    Since 1780, The Warren Tavern has been pouring pints and dishing up grub in Charlestown. I moved to Chucktown from New York City just six short months ago, and The Tavern has become my neighborhood grub hub. I've been for brunch, lunch, dinner and beers at midnight. They host a trivia game every Monday and live music multiple nights a week. The Tavern is family friendly through the dinner hour, gives over to Boston sports fanatics during game time, and becomes a sort of shot pounding, beats thumping, twenty something singles scene Friday and Saturday nights (not my personal fave, and if they kept the quiet pub vibe going on weekends, I would likely have awarded them 4 stars).

    The food is better than you'd expect it to be for a bar, but not good enough to qualify it as restaurant fare. The menu is long (which is not often a good sign), and includes mediocre barroom standards like burgers, wings and fried calamari. But dig a little deeper and you'll find more inspired fare like their Arugula & Pear Salad or the Pastrami Pretzel Reuben. My suggestion is to stick to the native seafood classics like peel & eat shrimp, lobster rolls, crab cakes and the baked cod with potatoes and green beans they often feature on the specials menu; sprinkled with a crust of buttery Ritz crackers, this recipe optimizes the signature New England style that's been around since, well, The Warren Tavern was founded.

    I would be remiss not to point out that the front room of this place is picture perfect. With its exposed wooden beams, old-growth pine floor boards and antique appeal, it's worth waiting for a table in the front room to enjoy history, if not dinner, at its finest.

    Old.  Dark.  Beer.  TVs.  Bar.  Dining.  Mmmm.

    Dang, the fish and chips on a Tue night in January really hit the spot.  The haddock was battered and presented as about 5 or 6 nice 'n full 4-bite pieces with a side of piping hot steak fries.  The fish tasted very fresh, was served right out of the oven so the innards were nice and hot, the crunch was perfect (kind of a crumb-like batter versus a battery batter), and I was in fish & chip heaven.  The bottle of malt vinegar on the side was all mine and I ate practically everything.  The cost is slightly higher than I would expect to pay in a tavern, but the quality and quantity made up for it.

    Okay, it's old.  And some of the place is falling apart.  Time for a remodel.

    Food was average...And it's one of the only options in the Charlestown area.

    Overall, unimpressed.  I didn't find a reason to come back.

    This place is wicked cute, right in the middle of the nice part of Charlestown I will never be able to afford, even if I did start sticking up fictional banks in the North End.

    It's a little old on the inside but what can you expect? It was built in the late 18th-century, and I believe that was the last time anyone bothered to reupholster or finish the floors. No problem. I have never minded my surroundings when there is cold beer on tap. And there is cold beer here! Nothing out of the ordinary, to be sure, but decently cheap and delicious beer has never angered anyone.

    The food is okay, save one pathetic turkey burger that was rubbery and tasteless. (I have never before encountered a turkey burger that squeaked when you chewed on it.) A regular "Cottage" burger (organic egg, cheddar, and bacon) was absolutely delicious, while the Tavern burger (garlic-herb cheese spread, honey dijon) was kind of soggy, with awkward competing flavors that weren't marrying so much as divorcing without a prenup. My friend's BLT was yummy, slathered with guacamole on the thick white bread none of us were allowed as children but we all dream of now.

    Warren Tavern is a good, unpretentious neighborhood bar with TVs, uninspired but tasty food, good service, and those heavy wooden tables that I can't move by myself. Adds up to four.

    I haven't been to many places in Charlestown, but this is one of my favorite after work spots.  I have to say, being from NC but living in Boston, I love that this bar always has regulars and people from the area in it.  

    I enjoy the chardonnay I get which is unusual for bars with good beer selections.  And the food is pretty good as well.  I usually don't eat but I did have some buffalo fingers that were quite tasty and my friend Val says it was like the best fish and chips ever!  I don't know if that's quite true, but they are pretty good at least!

    I'll be there a ton more as the summer goes by I'm sure!

    Because it's been the destination for six years of post-kickball prandials and potables, the Warren owns a special place in my heart.

    The menu boasts step-up fare, with the tavern chips and wings excelling when hot. Burgers run $9-10 a patty and serve the purpose, cooked to requested temps while trying their damnedest to hold a mountain of sauteed mushrooms, bacon or whatever else you've asked to top.

    I get the history, but it's not something any restaurant should hang its hat on, and the modernizations build to an anachronistic setting. Lean against original support beams while quaffing a blueberry wheat. Absorb the portraiture of revolutionary heroes over the sounds of Lady Gaga. Sit where George Washington sipped a pint, and watch the game on one of numerous flat screens. Just like the right to bear arms, some things deserve to evolve over time.

    Sport the BSSC shirts and they'll knock 20% off your food bill, and during this last visit, my absolute favorite server anywhere (Natalie!) tossed a few pizzas on the team's table - just because she rules. This isn't preferential treatment; it's how the staff respects their regulars. And if I were you, I'd get to showing your face a little more.

    Some places - and people for that matter - just don't look as good in the unflinching light of day as they do in gaslight. Warren Tavern is among that group. Stopped in for lunch after my son's hockey game vs. Charlestown. Yes, I get that it's old, but it's time to dust and paint; and maybe invest in some new furniture.

    Decor aside, the food was OK. My wife and I each had burgers at $9.95. They were cooked medium rare, as ordered. The fries were crispy and hot. The half sour pickles were crunchy. The server forgot the "famous" BBQ sauce for mine, but eventually brought it. Liked the char-broiled flavor, too. On the down side, the sesame rolls were on the hard side, like they were day-old.

    My son had corned beef hash w/ what were supposed to be poached eggs ($8.95). Problem here is that he asked for soft yolks. He got hard-over fried eggs. I figured it was the kitchen's fault, but when we got the check, we got our answer: The server entered "over hard" for the eggs.

    They have a wide selection of beer on tap, including a tasty Harpoon Celtic Ale. And here's a tip: they're running some great drink specials for St. Patty's Day, e.g., a pint of Jameson and Ginger Ale for $7, and you get to keep a commemorative glass.

    Despite the goof-ups, the server was attentive and friendly.  Overall, we had a decent meal. I won't make a special trip there, but it's a good choice if you're in "The Town."

    I love Charlestown. I love drinking. Therefore, I love you, Warren Tavern.

    I've been here only once. Didn't eat any food (although I've heard from a very reliable source that the food is decent).  Had a few too many beverages, and had an awesome time.  This place is an antique and i definitely underestimated it (cheers to you Paul Revere!)

    I'd say its definitely an olderish crowd, and as a 21 year old, that means late 20s-early 30s.  The bartenders were kinda awesome. Super nice, extremely friendly, and willingly played all the songs I obnoxiously requested all night. Definitely a fun place to  come with a group of friends. Doesn't really seem like the kind of bar you'd get down and dance in, but oh, it was... or maybe it was just me.

    Looking forward to come back here whenever I get the chance and actually having some dinner.

    Warren Tavern is a great local pub for anyone living or working in Charlestown. There are no shiny bells or whistles here other than being one of the oldest bars in the country where people like Paul Revere used to down pints.

    The food is also pretty decent. Fine dining? No. Good bar food? Yes. The brunch is especially good.

    Warren has trivia night on Mondays and can be especially packed on Wednesdays when many times they have some live music in the corner.

    Great local pub to have a beer with friends.

    As a resident of Charlestown, I think I am somewhat obligated to like this place, no? We frequent the Tavern on Monday nights to take part in their weekly trivia. We've had good nights and bad nights. Most recently, very bad (in trivia, that is).

    Food is good, pubish but good. Their onion soup is really good and served in a crock which is so authentic and makes me feel good about eating it. It has been a bit too salty at times though. The prices are decent, but I think it's all about the ambiance you get from the place. It's the oldest pub in America and it really feels that way. It's dark and cozy.

    I hear Wednesday nights are the time to go and apparently they are. My roommates and I tried to go there one Wednesday at 9:30 or so and we were told they were over the capacity and wouldn't let us in. It was too cold to wait so we headed to Sullivans Pub. Sorry Tavern. I'll be back soon, don't worry.

    Oh historic, WT, ye olde pub of the Revolution!

    Sometimes I come to the Warren Tavern for Monday Night Trivia, which is a pretty good time.  We usually show up early to snag a table (it gets crowded and they don't really like you to sit in the dining room).  It starts at 8 pm, but the Trivia guy is usually 15 minutes late.  This trivia is a little harder than the trivia we've experienced at other bars (Stump), but that just means that you need to put together a diverse team (some questions are definitely geared toward the 30+ set).  If you get all the questions correct you could stand to make a tidy sum of cash (it was $700 last week).

    Their food is ok, it's your basic pub fare, and I'm told the chowder is pretty good (I'm not a fan of clam chowder).  I also like their french fries.  And they have a decent beer selection (really like the Red Brick). Sometimes service can be a bit inattentive.  

    They also have live music on Wednesdays, which I've been to once.  It's fun and there is a good singles crowd.

    The Warren Tavern serves its purpose as a cute neighborhood eating and drinking destination with historical roots, cozy old school interior, and good service. Apparently it's a historic place. Cool.

    WT serves comfort and bar foods like sandwiches, salads, sandwiches, and burgers, along with some higher priced entrees like NY Sirloin, Shrimp and Scallop Scampi, and Chicken Marsala.

    I've been here quite a few times and recommend the Monument Chicken Salad ( Grilled chicken, mixed greens, feta cheese, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, green beans, new potatoes, basil and chopped tomatoes, tossed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil), City Square Sandwich (chicken breast with roasted red peppers, cheddar cheese, red onion and pesto sauce). You should ALWAYS get an order of the homemade potato chips- they are the best! Like warm and toastier Cape Cod Potato Chips on steroids.

    I'd never come to Charlestown specifically for the Warren Tavern, but if I'm in the area and hungry for something low key, I'd pick Warren Tavern over Tavern on the Water or Ironsides in a second.

    OK, the smell is pretty much gone, which is good. Also, the food has shaped back up. My coworkers love this place, so despite the fact that I'd rather do lunch at the Ironside (which just started doing lunch, by the way) we go here a lot.

    I had the salad with steak tips, perfect size for a lunch salad, and the balsamic zinfandel dressing was fulla flay-vah. Our waitress was nice, and again, it did not smell like piss.

    Super New England - both the menu and the atmosphere.

    It's comfort food - fried Haddock, Shepard's pie, the Paul Revere Burger...  I went there at 6pm the other night and I was the only one without an awhesome direct-from-Everett accent - e.g. Yah so I was aht dunkies right befah i went to see the shawx and thea was this whiked hugh fiight...

    I also came here on a Wednesday night when they had a decent cover band and a huge crowd. That was pretty fun too.

    But basically what I'm saying here is that it is impossible to go wrong when you're eating a lobster roll the size of your head with garlic mashed potatoes as a side and working on perfecting your Boston accent. As far as I am concerned, anyway.

    If your hungry and lookin for some local flair, the Warren Tavern should be tops on your list, well minus the hungry part (the food's pretty bad).  But it I remember correctly, I think it's the oldest continually running tavern in the country, and is one of the coolest spot's to grab a drink in Boston Proper.  

    The food isnt' all bad, but it's nothing spectacular either.  Maybe I'm just being snobby today.  The keilbasa is pretty good and the burgers are decent too- if your expectations are kept at a "I'm hungry  and feel like boozin" level the Tavern won't let you down.  Wedesday night's are always hopping at the Tavern with live music and a cover charge is standard, but it's only a couple of bucks and definately worth it if you've never been.

    What's cool about this place is that it is so historical! I mean, to eat where Boston history was made is pretty neat. Anyways, this is a great after-work and lunch spot. I'm sure dinner is just as good, but I don't really come to Charlestown for dinner.

    Basically, it's standard pub fare. Always good beers on tap! The chicken caesar salad is fine, but I love their pepperjack chicken sandwich. And while the tavern chips are good, I prefer the fries.

    It's a great atmosphere for an after-work get together and you could really spend the whole evening here if it's cold out.

    Overall, great atmosphere and food!

    SIGH. This place has definitely gone downhill. I am saddened.  down to 3 stars, but I wil leave my 5-star review so that the new ownership maybe has somehting to aspire to. Blech. The burgers used to be SO MUCH BETTER.

    There is no better place in Charlestown. This place is always a winner. I will eagerly walk from the Cambridgeside Galleria (right by the 99, see ya!) just to get a beer and a burger here and watch the Sox game on a sunny afternoon.

    At night, the whole back area of the restaurant becomes a classy upscale restaurant, with candles and everything! On my last trip here (which was far too long ago) I had two huge pork chops, with a homemade applesauce. It was a delicious meal.

    Next time my history-buff parents are in town, I am taking them here.

    One of my top places to send tired tourists after they've trudged out to Charlestown (Especially if the USS Constitution is closed), the Warren Tavern is tops on my list for a quick bite.

    Now, I'm partial to it because I really like Dr. Joseph Warren. BUT I've been told by people who actually eat the stuff that their clam chowder in a mug is some of the best people have ever had.

    Personally, I've never had a bad meal here and its a great way to cap off a long day walking the Freedom Trail.

    The Warren Tavern is awesome, a true tavern with beer, liquer, wine and fine tavern food.  Their menu has a perfect number of items to choose from and you can't go wrong with what you pick.

    I would highly recommend their fish and chips, which is fried correctly not in a soggy bready skin like someplaces manage.

    Nothing fancy but the food is good, great place for a bite to eat.
    plus a bit of history always adds to its charm..........that was my original review, went back last month and the food wasnt good at all we actually sent back the calamari because it was really fishy!!!!
