Beantown Pub

Beantown Pub is a classic American pub on the Freedom Trail in historic downtown Boston, serving lunch, dinner and drinks for a night on the town. It sits across the street from the Granary Burying Ground, where Samuel Adams is buried, which lets the pub claim to be the only bar in Boston where you can drink a Sam Adams while looking at his grave. It pitches itself for after-work beers, meeting friends and travelers looking to feel at home.

Sports fans get plenty of screens: with multiple televisions, the pub says every seat is a front-row seat for the big game. A dozen draft beers are poured, and the pub touts its burgers as some of the best in town. After eating, guests can move into a relaxed billiard room and keep the evening going with beers served by the friendly waitstaff.
