Sixth Gear Cask And Kitchen

My friends and I stopped by this seldom talked about South Boston bar on a Friday night. From start to finish the experience was terrific. The husband and wife ownership team was extremely friendly and you can tell how much time they put into their thoughtful and comfortable decor. The menu was full and creative, the food delicious, and the drinks even more so. A far cry from the usual in this neighborhood. I hope that people can move on from romanticizing the same three local bars that offer little besides loud music and long lines, and instead consider stopping into one of my new favorite places in town.

This restaurant/bar is wonderful. It's owned by a father and daughter duo, who are always friendly and extremely accommodating. I tend to have some friends that can be difficult to deal with, but the owners always make sure that we are enjoying our experience and time there. The staff and other patrons always seem to be friendly and laughing and having a good time as well. It's a great alternative to the other Southie spots. Do yourself a favor and give it a try!

I booked the reservation from seated. The idea was to get 20% back, which seemed like a win-win so that we could try the place out and get a deal at the same time. When we got there, they explained the credit card machine wasn't working.. fine no big deal, but then they said that the could take a card, which was very confusing. At that point it was too late and we paid cash. The problem was that because the receipt was hand printed (not sure why), seated would not take it. It makes me think that was on purpose, but I have no proof for that. The food was okay. Swordfish was well cooked but lacked flavor. The menu could use some love in general. It's sad because the location is great and the ambiance is really cool. Just needs a better menu.

The food and drinks were good but the service was slow. Our server didn’t write our orders down and she would forget what we ordered and kept coming back to ask what we ordered. Also my husband and I ordered two salads and it took over a hour to receive. It was not 12 minutes, we understand there was a comedy that we enjoyed. We ordered our food at 7:30 and it arrived at 8:34.
