Fodor's Choice
This modern beer-bar-meets-oyster-bar vibes boisterous energy contained only by its soaring ceilings. A neighborhood crowd comes for the excellent menu devoted to raw oysters, fried seafood, a variety of "rolls," and fish-based entrées. Whatever marine delicacy sails into Boston that morning will appear on the restaurant's menu that night. With 24 taps, beer plays a big role in the experience, enticing regulars to work their way through European-inspired American craft beers; there are also more than 50 by the bottle, ranging from ciders to sours and more. Surprising to some, the restaurant serves no cocktails, while the wine list carries a hefty selection of sparklers, whites, and rosés.
