"I love this place. I haven’t been for a couple of years, but motivated by my memory of the fish and chips, I recently went back to see if that memory held up. For my money, this is one of the best fish and chips anywhere in the Boston area. This is as close to what I’d get from the chippy as I have found. I appreciated that the bartender set salt, pepper, and malt vinegar down in front of me without me asking. The batter is light, crisp, and craggy, while the chips are thickly cut but in no way soggy or overly greasy. The fish itself was very flaky, moist, and very tender. The one letdown was the coleslaw. Maybe it was an off day, but it tasted like nothing. By that I don’t mean bland; I mean that to me it tasted like nothing. This was a bit weird as the ingredients themselves seemed to be fresh and crisp. I should also mention that the beer selection here is very well curated. While talking to the bartender about the Trillium/Evil Twin collar that I’d ordered, he mentioned other collabs coming out that he thought I might be interested in. Really great service here and very knowledgeable. Definitely check this place out, though if comfort food, great beer, dark wood, and low lighting aren’t your thing, then this might not be what you’re looking for."
