Myself and 2 friends had selected our table at around 6:20 on this Friday night. It took over 20 minutes for us to receive our 3... margaritas, plus a water for myself as my 2 friends already had theirs. With no warning from our server (who passed us multipletimes to serve the tables both in front of and behind us, but also never informed us that our plates are being cooked ordelayed), our orders came at just after 7:30. I ordered a (well done) burger with 2 patties, but only received one. With coldbuns. I informed our server that my burger only came with one patty and cold hamburger buns, only to be told that the bread wascold because I never specifically instructed that I want the bread toasted. Never had that issue anyplace else, but okay. Ireceived the warm bread and additional patty (which was on the house) at least 15 minutes later, but the patty itself felt &tasted rock hard. Also, a large group of people (at least a party of 10) who sat in the table behind us and also came at least20 minutes after us were served well before we were, and left well before we did, no questions asked. We spent 2 hours here,with the first hour looking at the clock on our phones wondering what had taken so long. By far, the worst experience we haddealt with at any establishment. Read more

Check your bills closely. Bartender added multiple drinks onto our tables?s tab and thought we wouldn?t notice. When we advised... the waitress(very nice) of the mistake, bartender told the waitress to lie to us. Won?t be back and advise you to pick adifferent bar. Read more

Went back for the first time since the reopening. I enjoyed it. Server seemed new but was accommodating. Prices more expensive... than Galway house so I don?t see myself going back unless I?m unable to grab a seat at the bar. $6 Tall Boy Turtle Swamp canwas a steal though Edit: Been back a couple of times since and the atmosphere has really improved. Best place for game days andfriendly service at the bar. Read more

FRIED PICKLES. If you like fried pickles, come here. $6 for enough pickles for 4 people. Plus great beer prices and selection.... Newly remodeled atmosphere is great, feels clean but retains some of its old charm Read more

Unfortunately I have to lower my rating after going back to the new Costello's. The drinks and atmosphere and average for a bar... in Boston but the food has gone way downhill. Portions were very small and the food was obviously reheated/microwaved. Too bad,i used to really like this place. Edit: Dropping the rating down again since the owner would rather argue with his customersinstead of taking constructive criticism. Read more

We came here for the first time since they reopened and we will definitely be returning! The drinks were good and we ordered a... spread of food (house salads, chicken fingers, pizza) that were all beyond satisfying. Best part? Reasonable prices! Everyonewas so nice and the atmosphere is great. There?s no reason not to stop by especially since they are no longer ?cash only?. Read more
