"The Charlestown and Everett shorelines of the Mystic River are covered with enough smokestacks, gas tanks, and abandoned piers to film a zombie apocalypse movie. But River Bar in Assembly Row is located in just such a spot that, not only does the Mystic not look like a dystopian hellscape of urban decay, it appears downright pleasant. The American bar menu is a little hit or miss, but get some drinks and the crispy chicken sandwich and - thanks to the fire pits, trees strung with lights, and views of boats tying up on the river and kids flying kites - you’ll have a good time." - joel ang, dan secatore
