The Bell In Hand Tavern

"Came with a large group and made a reservation. Had an awesome long table in the back bar area. Service was very quick and the chowder and lobster roll were very good. Pretzel was ok, nothing special. Some good local beers available but very expensive!"

"This Tavern is small and spacious, the staff was very attentive and accommodating. Their drink menu is extensive with a broad variety of beers, cocktails and even mock tails. Their food menu for being a tavern is very good and extensive. It is not a regular tavern with just finger food menus. We had the hot lobster roll that came with fries and coleslaw- it was delicious the lobster perfectly cooked and in whole pieces not shredded. The bread was toasted just right and did not break or get soggy. The crab cake burger was also delicious. They don’t have an advertised kids menu, but my son was able to have some chicken tenders with fries and they were both delicious and he ate the entire plate. This is a good spot for eating lunch."

"Boston has the oldest tavern in America so we had to check it out while in town. The Tavern has been around since 1795. A gathering place for printers and politicians, sailors and students in the past. It's located in what looks like an alley of restaurants. It has a pub side and restaurant side as well as outdoor area. There are large windows that are open you cam sit next to whi h was very nice given the feel in this area. The vibe is very lively and the crowd was your typical type of crowd you find in a pub/tavern. It definitely gets pretty crowded but the customer service was good just takes a minute if you are in the bar area. There is music playing as well as sports on the big screens. Be prepared to yell when talking because of the noise level. The food was good and portions pretty large. Definitely a good place to check out when in Boston."

"In the quincy market area, hungry for some good food and drinks? Look no further, this place has it. The atmosphere will make you feel like you're getting the true Boston vibe, plenty of typical New England dishes all served fresh and delicious. I do wish the staff were a bit more helpful with seating arrangements, it's kind of a free for all to get your own table or put one together."

"The story tells that it is the longest continuously operating tavern in the USA. I don't know if it's true, but the tavern is really nice. The food is very good. We ordered one of the recommended burgers and a delicious Cobe salad. The service was very good too, rounding off a very typical Boston experience. If the day is nice, outside tables are also a great option."
