It's a good, cozy place to watch a Bruins game. Classic Boston pub feel.

- local divey vibe- great beer selection on tap- tasty meal-worthy food options in addition to typical bar snacks- love that the kitchen is open late until 10:15pm- expect to be singing along to the tunes, which are fairly loud

Wings & calamari are good. It was just really hard getting any service. In their defense it was the night of the NBA finals though. But i would probably just say go somewhere else if there's a big game on. Wasn't anything special. Cool name though

Everything in this bar seems to be placed, made, and served with love.Sometimes they show so much love I want to give them money like some sort of jedi mind trick.Could use another pair of hands tho.

Good traditional pub, very good selection of classics on tap, and mildly good fish&chips and service. Awesome disposition of the bar to enjoy games.

Busy & crowded on a Wednesday night, & service suffered. Long waits for our app & my drink, even longer for dinner, & some things we requested (salad dressing, extra ketchup) never arrived.Crab dip w/unusual chips was quite good. Burger & fries, pretty ordinary.

Went with a large party for a birthday. Had loads of fun, the food was AMAZING and the staff was attentive.Only downside... Music was just ever so slightly too loud for conversation.

Nice environment, good burger. Was looking forward to fried dough dessert. It was not different than any other fried dough I have had

$15 for these nachos. Do not get nachos. As many chips as a tiny bag of Doritos. Very underwhelming. My friend ordered these nachos and everyone made fun of him that he got ripped off. He was still hungry, so he ordered food from Thai Hut across the street and is eating in his car now. Do you really want to order these shameful nachos??

So happy to see Thirsty back up and running. Tap list is great, lots of options. Food menu is still small but they say they'll be adding to it over the coming weeks/months. Hooray for a local fave being back in the rotation.
