    Loud but to be expected, especially on a game day. Johnnie's House Burger at $21 is overpriced for a dried up, flavorless, normal size burger. Pulled Pork Sandwich was loaded with pulled pork but that was flavorless also; there was no bbq or smokey flavor to it, and hard to find and discern pimento cheese sauce. The bun it was paired with was not a good choice as it immediately started falling apart when picking up to eat. The Pineapple Chicken Sandwiches (3 in our group) were good and a Steak and Cheese Hoagie was just OK. We had a Soy allergy in our party and they were accommodating about it, which was appreciated. Overall it was noisy, expensive (expected near Fenway), and average food.

    We made a reservation here before a Red Sox day game, and it was just fantastic. Friendly staff, great drinks, great apps - we had pefectly cooked calamari and the meatballs, which were also awesome. Pregame around Fenway is fun, the barhopping, taking it all in, but, its also nice to lock down that anchor spot with a reservation to tie the whole experience together. Also, bonus points for the staff at the front who kept the busses out front moving along - which was great for those of us with the open window seats! Recommended.

    This is the BEST place to grab a drink & bite before anything Fenway! Friendly folks. GREAT Espresso Martinis. Upscale pub fare. Usually not as crowded as other local places & you can enjoy yourself pre & post game. If Johnnie is there it’s always a treat!

    Went here before a Sox game. Was seated quickly, when I asked that we be changed from high top to standard seating, there was no problem. I had the Steak & cheese hoagie with truffle Parmesan cheese fries. I asked for some garlic aioli on the side & ate in on everything was delicious! My husband had the clam chowder, not a lot of clams but really great creamy taste. Also had the beet salad, not a ton of beets in it, he said was just ok.our server was very attentive and came over enough times to see if we needed anything. I would go back.

    Best pre-game meal near Fenway. We were able to make a reservation for our party of six online and our table was ready when I showed up fifteen minutes early. Our server was exceptional. We always had full glasses of water and if our other drinks were low, she was quick to offer us another. Every person in our party ordered a different menu item and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I had the Kenmore Triangles and they were delicious! Great drinks, great food, great environment and great location!
