Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

Coleslaw Conundrum: The coleslaw, served in a modest portion, left much to be desired. Its lackluster flavor and sole reliance on red cabbage resulted in a dish that was both bland and uninspired. For BBQ aficionados, coleslaw can be a pivotal side dish, and unfortunately, this version didn't rise to the occasion. A suggestion to the chef: consider revamping the recipe or perhaps removing it from the menu in favor of something more exciting. Pulled Pork Perfection: On a brighter note, the pulled pork sandwich was a culinary triumph! The pork was tender, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by a soft, fresh bun. It's a dish that truly showcases the restaurant's BBQ prowess. Fries to Die For: The fries were another highlight - crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned. They're the ideal sidekick to any BBQ main course. Beverage Blip: The Arnold Palmer drink could use some tweaking. It's a classic that, when done right, can elevate the entire meal. Final Thoughts: Rock Bottom delivers a solid BBQ experience, particularly with their standout pulled pork and fries. While there are areas for improvement, particularly the coleslaw and beverage selection, the overall experience is satisfying. I'd definitely come back, especially if they take my tips on the coleslaw and Arnold Palmer to heart. Here's to good BBQ and better sides! Would I Return? Yes, for the BBQ, and in anticipation of an improved coleslaw and drink menu!

Really great spot! Nothing to blow you away, but the service was excellent (and food came out fast!), they played a lot of good bops (also at a volume you can still comfortably talk over), and this was one of the first bars in Boston I didn't dislike the coleslaw. The fries were excellent, I got the turkey club which is pretty standard but I wasn't disappointed, and the prices were reasonable, especially for downtown Boston. Is this a take your visiting parents for dinner place? No. But it's a decent first date location, or if you're like me, a good place to get food after seeing a performance at one of the theaters nearby.

Nice spot with outdoor seating and large indoor bar area. Kevin was a nice waiter who makes a mean drink!! I had the bourbon peach smash and loved it. The menu had good choices and he hooked me up with a special chicken sandwich. The fries and toppings on my sandwich were on point. I never finish my meal and I actually did this time. Would definitely go back.

Stopped there 30 minutes for cocktails and starters on our way to theatre. We told the waitress about our schedule and she was kind, fast and effective. Patron Margaritas were very good but not fancy…simple beer glass with no salt rim but it was perfect, great taste. The triple dips entrée was good too, still nothing fancy. If you want simple, honest food in a sports’ bar ambiance, this is a good place.

Went on a Monday night, Monday being s holiday, went right after the Blue Man group show at Charles Playhouse. There was a little crowd, but enough tables for everyone. The food was good. Got the deviled eggs, they were good, the egg was a bit over cooked but I still ate them all! Then we got a order of nacho’s with beef topping, they were HUGE! They were very good only complaint is would add more hamburger topping, there was hardly any on it. Then ordered the Philly cheesesteak in a bowl without bread and a side of green beans. It was good! The place was clean with friendly service, bathrooms also clean. Overall good place, probably wouldn’t go out of my way to go back there but still was worth trying!
