The Charlestown Rathskeller

Entertainment is fine, but waiting in line for over an hour to get food missing pretty much the first session of music. They need to do better. Make a smaller menu or add some food trucks. I probably won't be back.

The food is fantastic, and the bar service is outstanding. Despite how busy it gets, the staff manages everything efficiently and they're really friendly and amusing. There's a great atmosphere with a good crowd too.

Came to see a good friend's band and the sound was SO BAD. The Dave Matthews Tribute Band is fantastic and they spend a lot of time perfecting their sound and the sound guy at the Rathskeller could not accommodate. He made them sound like an amateur garage band. They need someone who knows how to work a sound board Ver carta

Having worked in the restaurant industry for 31 years, I usually don't complain, but this turned out to be the most expensive meal ($42) I've ever had to give to my dog. Once again, no one even bothered to ask about how my food was. I live nearby, and I ended up stopping at Rippy's for a slice of pizza on my way home. It's unlikely that I will return.

This is one of our favorite places in Charletown. We love to come here for the food (truffle fries are the best . Servings are very large I think we should have split an entree (I got the Jagerschnitzel which was amazing . We went home with lots of doggy bags. The best part of this place is the back yard. During good weather you can play corn hole or bocci. During weekends they have live music (sometimes extra and a bonfire. So much fun!

Been going for years!!! The staff is so invested in their roles. They immediately make you feel welcomed. Food is consistently good and great specials daily. The bar staff is hard working and accommodating for special requests. The venue has outside stage, huge fire pit, bars and food. Inside is full service restaurant and pub!! Cannot go wrong!!! Love love love all of them!!!! Wheelchair accessibility: I am recently handicapped and navigated seamlessly. Ver carta

Overall, pretty nice place to go if you are a local during the non-tourist season. During the summer, the place can be very much overrun with out-of-staters. Once you are in establish regular and they get to know you, the service is very good. The menu prices are a little higher, but I would also say that the quality of the food is why the prices are a bit higher. As with many local establishments, staff tend to be on the younger side so sincerity of service may fluctuate. One night you might have very good extraordinary service, the next perhaps not so much.

I attended a concert here tonight. I ordered fries. After waiting 45 minutes, being told they would be ready in 10-15, I asked about them. I was told they would be ready shortly. I finally asked for my money back and was told they were being plated. The bartender handed me my money as they appeared in the window. I said the right thing to do would be to give me the fries. The “manager” said she hadn’t eaten all day and that she would enjoy them. The bartender apologized behind her. I will never attend another event at a place who treats its customers so poorly.

Had a lovely birthday dinner here for a family member. The place is very cool and casual. Indoors, the AC was pumping, and it was playing loud music. We sat outside where it was more quiet and laid back. They have a big area for playing cornhole and even had a concert starting in another area. The concert was far enough away that we could hear it, but it was not loud or distracting. The food was very good. It has a German- American-Seafood vibe. Everyone was happy with their meals. Would definitely return. Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! They have a kids menu, and the tables are all that high-quality plastic, so it's hard to ruin anything. The kids can also run around in the yard area... Ver carta
