Stopped in due to the sign advertising 19.99 Lobster roll and cup of chowder. Initially was told chowder is not served during breakfast (before 11:30), but it became lunch during our meal so got the chowder as well. Not sure why this was so confusing - if you have the sign out, as a restaurant, be ready to honor it.Lobster roll was delicious. Clam chowder was very good.Ate outside and the location was a great for a quick bite to eat in Boston.

The first couple times were awesome. Made some good friends and have a lot of good memories. Past two times the doorman was so rude and not accommodating that it easily made us go elsewhere. Seems more interested in picking fights with people in line than bringing in business.Will likely return once the fun police departs.

After walking the Freedom Trail on a warm June morning in 2019 I stopped here for a well deserved lunch. What a great choice that was. My Maine lobster roll was amazing and paired very well with my glass of white Loire wine. Staff was also very nice and helpful.

Very cool wallpaper! Food was great. My daughter smashed her Burger and I enjoyed the panini.

The bomb lobster roll and chowder! And cant beat price of $19.99! Great atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating and other entrees looked delish along with carrying great prices. Highly recommend giving it a shot!

We walked into the white bull mainly because it was one of the few places open while we were walking around Boston. Now we are so glad we did. Best lobster roll we had in Boston . The Cubano sandwich was my husbands favorite. The atmosphere and decor was nice with a different feel than most places we had visited in the city.

We had a great day but there is something that needs to improve! Great food and place, but good customer service is important!

Customized my breakfast to my taste which was greatly appreciated. Eating along the Freedom Trail was also a bonus!

Spinach artichoke dip is AMAZING. Even during social distancing its a great vibe. Awesome at night.

Amazing pizza. Due to covid, no dancing. Distancing guidelines in effect. Boston prices for booze but pizza was moderately priced.

American food and the feeling here is quality. two thumbs up for this place. looking forward to a return trip. prices are decent.

Everything seems to be fine, but there are some staff that needs to observe but still good customer service!!

Their white pizza was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Super friendly staff, great food, and an upbeat environment.

The food is not great, the service is very bad. They need to look into hiring some new waitresses, I have been to many places in Boston and we got treated very poorly here (TWICE) by the same rude waitress, she made us order a ton of food for a table of 6, which they don’t do at other places, we spent a ton of money just to get kicked out for one person being mad (she kicked us all out for one persons behavior). Very disappointed considering I’ve heard good things about this place, look elsewhere - there’s many other places to go like SISSY K’S (the best).. trust me.

Great. It was great. Pancakes were awesome. Thank you the white bull tavern.

The waitress was very rude and not being nice. She wasn’t pleasant from the moment we walked in and she made my friend cry and had us leave when we didn’t do anything wrong. We won’t be back to this place and it made us uncomfortable. Wild rovers is much better

Loved their take on an Old Fashioned, the Bull by the Horns. My favorite thing about this is that the ice is served on the side. For me, it tells me that it is going to taste well on its own and you make your drink chillier, if you like.I went in seeking seafood and I found it. They had three different types of lobster rolls, Maine, New England, and the House Made. Per the bartenders recommendation, I went with the House as there was an avocado spread and bacon, because who can say no to bacon? It was a Poor mans version of serve and turf. It was delicious and filling. I will be back to eat my way through the menu.I also loved the unique decor. There are so many things that drew my attention that was non-traditional but worked extremely well.

Loved this place. Excellent food, excellent drinks, music was great and the seat in the open window is a good place to sit and watch the city go by.

Great atmosphere and location. Food was also pretty delicious.

7/26/2020- sat on the patio during a gorgeous July night, awesome experience!Party of three, who share. Ordered the White Ball Lobster Roll, Maine Lobster Roll and a Ruban. The rolls came with the New England Clam Chowdah. The Chowdah was FANTASTIC!! My White Ball was perfect!! The Maine LR was mixed up and ended up being the New England Roll. The Maine was fabulous though, no complains although not what was ordered. The Cuban was also mixed up and Cuban rather than a Ruban which was ordered. The Cuban (mistake) was also very very good. We ordered the Brussels sprouts with bacon and those too were great!!Over all, I can’t say enough good things about the food that was served!! However the mix ups on food that were not properly noted or made up for was a little disappointing especially with my level of experience. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend stopping here for food, the food will be fantastic!!! Just make to be super clear about your order if you’re not as accepting of mistakes as we are.

Awesome place! My daughter and I stopped there for a beer to talk about where to go for lunch. Paul was working and somehow knew our plan so, he started talking to us about the menu. He first convinced us to have watermelon mojitos instead of beer (we were on vacation after all!) and he had pureed fresh watermelon that morning. Those mojitos were the best Ive ever had. Light and refreshing without being overly sweet. He then told us that their spicy, dry rub wings were the best we would ever have and fell off the bone. Ive been home two weeks and had a lot of great food in Boston, but Im still craving those amazing wings that literally do fall off the bone. He suggested we also try the spinach and avocado dip that was never too thick and gloppy nor thin and runny and that was a total homerun. Finally, he told us we couldnt leave without trying the pizza that was made in an ages old wood fired oven imported from Italy. That pizza is up there with the best Ive had. In summary, we had a blast at this place as Paul was fun and interesting and the food was spectacular. Great place, well be back on our next trip. Thanks Paul from Ohio!

Great, friendly place that welcomes all customers. The staff is kind, patient, and provides good recommendations. Paul is a superb bartender who loves sharing this space with his clientele. The food is very good and the tap list is always on point. Wonderful option to have downtown.

Great variety of beers however, watch the prices versus the quantity!!!

Great location. Great views. Great atmosphere. And great food.

Great service, good beer selection and pretty good food. Always a good time (even during quarantine)

Fabulous lobster roll! Good service! They even accommodated us because I wanted the roll but they were still serving brunch but they gave us the roll anyway! Soooooo glad I got it! I got the traditional roll with mayo and lettuce. Highly recommend!

Got tickets for comedy show and loved it great night out great pizza great drinks great atmosphere.. love Boston. Ever in city strongly recommend stop on see the bartenders they are great get a drink and one of there awesome pizzas....

Great place, great staff and awesome location

Server was amazing, food was ok but the bouncer was rude and had a awful actitud, not coming again

Our 3rd visit to Boston from FL. We wanted to try some different restaurants. Loved this place. Excellent service and the drinks and pizza were fabulous.Highly recommend this restaurant

Great cubano sandwich with Harpoon IPA for lunch. Excellent service from Fiona!

Great food and staff. Love the open air feel inside.

Friendly pub. Solid beer selection. Great pizza.

Lobster roll is friggin dynamite! Great stop....

Me and my friends visit this place today, but the man outside he’s totally impolite with us and look like prejudice with people from another culture and him said “if you guys don’t wanna stay here just go way”. I never saw this in my life in a restaurant!

Terrible experience. Waited at hostess desk for about 15 minutes. Decided to sit down at a table and was told it was already reserved. Explained we waited for a while to be seated and assumed it was self seating. The waiter complained about being short staffed like it was something I should help fix. Food came out a little slower than the norm but thats fine. What really ruined the evening was the 45 minute wait to get the check after finishing eating. Bar rescue needs to make a show about this place. Maybe management needs to find some staff that can show up. If you are awaiting execution and only have 2 hours left, I would not recommend you waste those precious moments here.....

That.was.awesome.Great oysters, beer, and lobster roll. Keep crushing it

Service was mediocre. Drinks had too much ice. Lobster rolls- don’t do it. My friend got sick off them. The Buffalo chxn pizza was a 7/10.Not my first choice.

Amazing decor, super friendly owner Jeff and just all around super unique vibe. The hostesses and bartenders are awesome, and the food’s delicious— you must try the Brussels sprouts. Can’t wait to go back!

Great pizza, atmosphere and location. Lovely wait staff. We will definitely come again!

Great food and great drinks. Loved the bartenders and everyone was very friendly to us being that we were not from the area. Definitely would come back!

I STRONGLY suggest new staff, or at least fire that middle-aged man working as a door man. My friends and I waited outside for our tow truck for THREE HOURS in the cold quietly. We asked to use the bathroom and he said “you can’t come in without shoes” MAKES SENSE but guess what we have shoes in the trunk. We slip on our shoes and we go to walk in and he says, “you guys can’t come in” why? Because we werent paying customers? We stated that we would buy something to use the bathroom. Wouldn’t let us in still and gave us no valid reason as to why we couldn’t enter the establishment (not even use the bathroom). They were about three tables sat and it was no where near their close time. Not only that, him and his buddy laughed at our car situation. If I had such a bad experience sitting outside of the establishment I can’t even imagine inside.

Good is good. Nice family friendly place. Got a decent portion of fog legs in my dish.

Saw a comedy show there. Great spot I could see from the bar. Close to Subway

Best lobster roll I have tried in Boston!!!

The drinks are ok and the food also. The server was awesome but the bouncer as disrespectful. Never coming back

Cool, cozy atmosphere! Knowledgeable, friendly staff! Great food and food specials!

Love the pizza bartenders top notch great drinks great comedy show upstairs not enough stars.....

Really nice space! I love how they embeded so much history of Boston into the space. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a brick oven pizza as well as a varied menu of items that I hope to eat my way through.

Fantastic Oysters! And the other food was great too! The waitress was beyond accommodating she been went next door to grab me some crackers for my clam chowder. My improvement suggestion would be to have crackers come out with the chowder and oysters. The bar tender was very pleasant and helpful with suggestions for our evening.

Absolutely brutal service, bouncers, and doormen. I am from Boston, and have never experienced a bar like this. They are a band of clowns. Really disappointing experience.

The service was great, but the food was absolutely not worth the price. Our table of 5 talked it over, and no one seemed to enjoy their food. The comedy show was solid, but I cannot recommend coming here for food. Youre going to be disappointed.

We went in to watch a standup comedy show in the upstair room.The employees were friendly without attitude, or arrogance, (not as we usually find in those types of bars) . Our waitress (Julie) was nice, fast and attentive to our orders. The meat balls in my Panini where made of veal meat and were tasty served with home made chips that were fresh and crispy but lacking flavor. (it needed salt or some spice? )They have a good selection of cocktails and beers.*The restroom has a speaker to not miss a part of the show.

Having lived in Boston I’m use to servers who are busy and stressed - that’s not white bull. The place was virtually empty, and yet the hostess was exasperated and the sever walked up with so much attitude to ask “what do you want” that i almost shot back “excuse you”. We walked out. The food looked good, but there’s no excuse for rude service, let alone in a virtually empty place in the heart of Boston. This staff wasn’t in an f-you mood, the entire vibe was F-off. Turns out that’s a good way to have people just leave (the place next door is great, just go there).

Great place to stop for great food and service while on the freedom trail.

Went in, was told by the gentleman we could grab a table with the kids. Grabbed the kids came back in a few minutes, lady tells us sorry no kids under 21, as theres younger people sitting inside. Ridiculous people. Go down the street , much nicer people and nicer place. Great way to treat tourists.

Great place food was super good

Alway a must have place to eat and have drinks when we are in Boston.

Foods are so expensive.Although the place was nice.

The food is fresh, staff are pleasant and welcoming accommodating, most importantly the place is clean

If I could give zero stars, I would. We had absolutely awful service from the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out. The servers had the worst attitude I had ever seen, and acted as though taking our order was an inconvenience to them. After waiting about ten minutes for service, We left before even ordering drinks. This place doesnt know the first thing about customer service. Youd be much better going down the street to S.O.B.

Terrible experience. They definitely need new staff and also new management. Honesty they need to go on the bar rescue show it’s a trip. Not much needed to be said.

I completely understand that you can’t go in a bar with sandals but when I come back with shoes and acceptable attire (to a non-upscale restaurant), and they still wouldn’t let me it the business with no valid reason. The best thing of all Is that there were people in the business watching the situation happen. I a black man didn’t get service or a explanation in which I wasn’t allowed in the business. I heard bad things before but wanted to give them a try, this was one of the worse experience of my life. I felt oppressed.

Visiting from Midwest. Amazing kielbasa, jalapeno bacon appetizers. Bartender said it would change our lives. He wasnt kidding. Amazing pizza. Fun place

Quiet bar on a Monday evening. Have a late menu and serve food after midnight. Pizza was good. Thin crust and decent size for one.

A Warm friendly homely atmosphere the pizza is delicious and the staff is very hospitable. The decor makes you feel like you are back in the country (a little English British and New Orleans style). Very elegant venue for any occaision receptions, celebrations. A must visit when you come to Boston. I give it 5 stars Phantom gourmet if you havent visited you must stop by and say hi to Paul.

Amazing scene, wings were amazing. A little loud though

Great service! Friendly, helpful, and good conversation. Great pizza, best ever spinach and artichoke dip with the yummiest bread!

The ambiance in here is great. Wait staff was superbly helpful. Drinks were on point.Get the watermelon margarita!!

Nice spot to grab a cool drink on a warm day. Dropped in on a Friday afternoon, greeter and waitress were both great. Nice recommendation on a lager, my wife loved her watermelon mojito and the kids got special mocktails. Place has a nice ambience and wed recommend it as a good place to drop by. Food looked good, the place has its own pizza oven. My wife also mentioned the toilets were nice, I know thats a funny one but a good sign of attention to detail and care by the owners. We will be back.

Good food, if your looking for something better than nearby Faneuil Hall this place is a good option.

Wait staff got into argument before show, awkward. 2 comedians great rest okay.

Good food and great service

Cons: $$$, limited food selections.Pros: comfortable atmosphere, 2 floors and 2nd has performances, decent food! Lobster mac and cheese and a pepperoni pizza!Recommendation: Just go for entertainment and drinks

A must go to! Best wings you will ever have!!

Great tavern. Excellent weekday service. Nestled in a slightly out of the way corner, near the market area, The White Bull is fairly easy to miss in the crazy conglomerate of shops in the area. Well worth the find, their pizzas, oysters and wings are worth a little searching. If youre walking the Freedom Trail, make a little time to have lunch or snacks at this fine little restaurant.

Modern, spacious, bright, comfortable, airy. Lifts up the spirits. The food tastes great. I had cauliflower and New England lobster roll and both were excellent. Paul at the bar was great to chat with. Friendly place. You will enjoy your visit.

I love wings and these are pretty awesome!

Arrived at Saturday night at 6 with a party of 9. We were seated immediately which is unheard of. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was unfriendly. All the best beers were out of stock. The pizzas were delicious, but I suspect the other menu items came from cans or were manufactured in some way. When menu items are priced so high, you expect high quality. After paying our bill with cash, we had to ASK for our change

Went today for lunch- waited 15 minutes before anyone came to get our drink order-got our drinks and ordered (three Mac and Cheeses)-waited another 45 minutes. Wasn’t that busy. Wait staff around us was delivering food to wrong tables, no one seemed to know what’s going on. Ended up getting up and leaving and walking to Fanuiel Hall. Don’t waste your time! Also, originally wanted to order paninis and they were all out! Not very prepared for a Saturday.

Great service and drinks, terrible food.

Limited Menu...but food was good and reasonably priced.

Was not impressed by staff or food

Thursday night they brought in a one man band, good for bachelorette party, serve food until 2:00, we sat a table and had good service

Te lobster roll Is delicious!!!

It was AWFUL!!!! The waitress brought us our drinks and apps...then DISAPPEARED!! The comedy show was HORRENDOUS!!!! Will NEVER go back or recommend...food was meh too

Friendly staff, food was delicious and fresh.place was spotless and kid friendly, definitely go back

We took our work team there for lunch, and everyone enjoyed the meal!We got the roasted cauliflower and wings apps, both of which were good as comfort food. For the six of us, we got the buffalo chicken, vegetarian, and breakfast (with the bacon on the side) pizzas, all of which were delicious - no leftovers! (I kind of wish wed ordered a fourth, to try another.)Our vegetarian colleague was also really happy with all of her options -- turns out it wasnt her first time ordering the breakfast pizza here (sans bacon). A great lunch, with a cool ambiance for our team!

Paul and Brittney were amazing to talk with, recommended the best food: Lobster roll, wings and pizza! Great spot all around.

They did NOT like that I brought my 8 month old into the restaurant for trivia. The manager wanted to ask our group to leave because we had a baby with us...That seems very discriminatory. Then I felt judged for having one cocktail. The manager asked if I was sharing it with my husband. How rude is that! Multiple things that our group wanted to order...They were out of.The buffalo chicken pizza was good, but not good enough to warrant another visit to this restaurant.

Food is great

Good lunch & service. Not crowded mid day.

Brunch was delicious!

Food was ok, but service was indifferent. Our food came out of order and when we cancelled the appetizer because we all had our entrees, they brought it out 20min later anyway and just shrugged when we told them wed cancelled it. The food was good, but overpriced. We probably wont be back.

Cool spot for drinks and a bite. We stopped in here 3x while on vacation. Their watermelon margaritas and main tails being the main reasons. They were light and delicious. We had a pizza thats was ok and a cesar salad that was ok too. The bartender was super friendly.

Good food, good drinks, good customer service.

Such cool decor! So much to see!!! Local bartenders with great stories to tell....a must do on your Boston list!

Stopped in for drinks and a snack

Great variety of beers however, watch the prices versus the quantity!!!

Excellent cauliflower pizza crust!
