Blackmoor Bar and Kitchen

One of the best chowders I’ve had!! Fantastic jalapeño Mac and cheese & calamari as well. Had to remove a star because we were not given plates or utensils for the appetizer and I was forced to eat with my hands like an animal (other than that great experience lol)

While staying at the Residence Inn down the street, my husband and I ate here after a long drive into Boston and we were so pleasantly surprised! We got the Poutine and the Noodle Buddha Bowl to split and the food was delicious. The fries were hand cut and homemade, no fake fillers or flash frozen. The gravy was also homemade and was a rich, wine based gravy—-so so so good. The Buddha bowl was one of the best noodle bowls I’ve had at a place that didn’t specialize in noodles. A light, miso inspired broth with tons of fresh veggies over wheat noodles. I ate the entire thing. We also got the red velvet cheesecake and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and, while not made in house, they were passable. The only disappointment was the ice cream. We are from VT and what they serve at Blackmoor is iced milk or frozen dairy treat….no ice cream here.

Great place. Good was great and everything seemed to have just that little bit extra to make each dish unique. We got the buffalo chicken crack and the poutine, both were great. Would definitely go back!

I visited this place with colleagues. The service was friendly. The drinks were amazing. I ordered the clack chowder and lobster roll which came with fries and coleslaw. For the chowder, definitely add the crackers for the little bit of extra saltiness. I like the fries. It was my first time having lobster roll. It was just okay- I now know I prefer lobster hot with a side of melted butter. Someone at the table had the lobster ravioli and a cup of bisque which looked really good. I would try that if I return. The atmosphere was typical bar/ restaurant casual. As it got later, the crowd got noisier and younger.🎉 Seems like a great place to celebrate. If you go for just a social dinner, wrap it up before 10.

Excellent bar and restaurant, the food and staff were great. There was a group of us and they were very accommodating. Highly recommend

service was great, our server was so nice and wonderful. food was great. i love pickled onions so being able to have a side of pickled onions made my dining experience 1000% better. would absolutely recommend this restaurant for a quick drink or even a quick meal

Just celebrated my husband’s military retirement party here last week. The entire establishment went above and beyond accommodating us! Patrick was awesome and so flexible to work with. The wait staff and bartenders super friendly and helpful. We chose the steak and chicken off of the catering menu and it was superior!! Would totally recommend this venue ❤️ thank you again for a truly special night! Martin and Kim Kelly

Excellent service. Was very accomodating with gluten free options. Very happy we went here for our afternoon meal.

Great food and wonderful service . The atmosphere is wonderful due to the sport tv channels and the customers.

Fantastic spot for a taste of Boston! The clam chowder and jalapeño Mac-n-cheese were to die for, and the friendly and professional customer service provided by Daphne made for a truly enjoyable and memorable first visit. She had great recommendations for food and drink and her pleasant demeanor was a joy to experience! We'll be back for more!

The food was top notch. We did drinks & apps & we're not disappointed!! The street corn fritters, lobster ration, & chili lime shrimp are must try's!! The service was a bit slow, but it was an early Monday afternoon. The restaurant is convenient, clean, & classy.

Came in with a group of 7 prior to a Bruins game. It was a weeknight, 5:00pm, and the restaurant was not busy so we thought "great! We'll be set on time, no problem ". Wrong. Sloooowwww service. Server seemed to be flustered and the dining room was about 20% full. We had trouble getting orders taken, drinks delivered, food delivered. Went up and got the check. Food was fine but not great. Clam chowder was heavy and too thick, could taste the flour in the soup. Quesadilla and nachos were good. Overall, a good location for dinner before an event at TDGarden and I would go there again but would try to sit at the bar. Bar seemed busy and maybe better service.

Food was good, especially enjoyed their Oktoberfest menu items: the bratwurst was delicious. (My favorite is the Rueben here, but decided to try these awesome flavors pretzel and bratwurst.) Service was a bit understaffed this day, and the hostess had to do some of the table work (kudos to her); still caused extra waiting.

This is one of the worst resturant experiences I have ever had! We were seated that waited forever to place our order. Then waited even longer to get our food (a burger, wings, and a pretzel -- nothign complicated.) When the food came, it was obvious they'd put them under heat lamps and just forgotten about them. The pretzel arrived dried out, and the conidments crusted over from the heat lamp, and the wings, in addition to not haveing any flavor has been overcooked AND sat under a heat lamp. They were dry and flavorless. Then another very long wait for anyone to come check on us, and then another huge wait for the check to be brought. The bar was slammed, but the dining room was empty. There's no excuse for such bad service and bland food made worse by sitting and drying out under the heat lamp. Left a 10% tip and a note expalning why. Just. Terrible.

Food and service were not good. The first thing was we were given the regular menus instead of brunch menu so we had to redo our orders. Then our food took roughly 1-1.5 hours to come out and yes we were a large group of 16 people but we arrived at opening time. I will not go into everything but I will give you 3 main takeaways. 1- none of us got fruit that was included with our order 2- I ordered avocado toast and my order came out with no avocado on it at all. They tried to fix it by placing cut up avocado on top but that's not avocado toast. The waiter said that's how we do it here and I politely said ma'am avocado toast is smashed avocado. So I completely changed my order 3-food was cold, dry and greasy.

On the way back from the USS Constitution and were ready to eat our arms as we were THAT hungry! Luckily, we saw signage for this establishment and WHAT A GREAT VIEW OF THE HARBOR!! Nice shaded area where we were sitting and the golden afternoon sun was mood lighting the harbor!! The kitchen is actually off to the side and the menu was a reduced one but had all of the items we wanted! Actually, I guess you could call this their outdoor seating! The bar was off to the side so we had some beer while they worked up our late lunch feast! I ordered the beer battered fish sandwich with a salad which paired nicely with the German Pilsner. The salad was crisp and cold plus was quite fresh and filling! The fish sandwich was absolutely delicious with a heavenly toasted bun! Price was reasonable for the view and atmosphere!

This place had friendly service each of the 3 times I went here during my 5 day visit. Food was very good each time. Caesar salad was quite good, got it twice. Relaxing atmosphere with very attentive servers and bartenders.

The food was very average and the service was poor. The restaurant was nearly empty when we sat down, so that was not the issue. Our appetizers came out only a minute before our entrees - or I should say, half of our table's entrees. Our server came over to ask how everything was, as two people clearly had no food in front of them, but did not even notice. It was only several minutes later when we asked where the other entrees were, that she realized we never received them (and it seems, she never put them in). One entree came about 5 minutes later, and the last entree came about 10 minutes later when the rest of the table was finished eating. And yes, they still charged us for those meals. Ultimately, the food we received was not even worth the wait. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

Our go to place Before Celtics games! Good menu and service and prices! A very comfortable restaurant with a nice bar, too!

Family friendly and probably the only reason we stopped here. Service was not the best.... Our server would disappear for 15-20 minutes and never came back to take our order. We had to flag another server to take our order. We would ask our server specific menu item questions and she would tell us that she would get back to us with an answer and would again, run off for another 15 minutes before seeing her again. Food was OK. burger was over cooked and dry and overly sweet. Balsamic prosciutto pizza was overly sweet. Shrimp bowl was flavorless. Would not be back.

We were in town for three days, stumbled on this restaurant because of its location and it ended up being the best dinner of the trip. Buffalo Chicken Crack appetizer, Ahi Poke and Lobster Roll were delicious!

We were staying nearby and wanted to grab a quick bite before heading out. We are at the bar area which had several high top tables. We only wanted a few appetizers so we started with the New England Clam Chowder, the spinach and artichoke dip and an order of chicken dumplings. The clam chowder was excellent. It was thick and hearty, it tasted so good. The dip was served with nacho chips and pita bread. It tasted very good. Last but not least were the chicken dumplings, they were good but not great. The service was good, they took care of us right away.

Great spot for dinner and drinks, but I would NOT recommend for lunch. I have been to Blackmore a lot over the years and always have a great time when I stop in for a drink after work or a quick dinner at the bar. The vibe at the bar is great, they have a good beer selection and I love the apps. I will continue to come back for post-work drinks! Unfortunately, the lunch experience is consistently bad. They are typically slow at lunch, which is fine but the place is uncomfortably quiet and boring in the dining room. The service is also typically slow, and I haven't enjoyed any of the lunch options on the menu. Everything I try has been dry or bland.

This restaurant was close to our hotel near the marina. The service was excellent. The clam chowder was fantastic, but the fish and chips stole the show. The haddock was plentiful and fried to perfection. I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks to the servers and the cooks there. You guys are amazing.

I would imagine this place won't last. The food is horrible, I couldn't believe I got a salad w/ yellow & wilted greens (seriously), maybe 3 small tomatoes on it. Simply pathetic. The fact there are no servers, you have to go to the bar for everything which is super annoying since only one person working. This restaurant may be big but it really isn't worth going to. Only a matter of time before it changes to something else.

This was a fantastic and pretty large spot in Charleston. Perfect for grabbing dinner before a concert at TD garden without all the crowds. We were able to go during Oktoberfest season and got a pretzel to share and I got the sampler. The sampler had way more than I expected and it was delicious spread of meat and cheeses.

I can't say enough for the service and experience myself and my guests received by Patrick and his entire staff. I booked this location for a reception after an event on the USS Constitution, and it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and plentiful, the ambiance was perfect and everyone had a fantastic time. And the freshly baked cookies are epic! When planning an event, details matter, and the staff had everything covered, it was literally like pushing the "easy button." Any event you need to book in that area, I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed a hearty dinner here! My husband had the Shepherd's Pie and I had the Short Rib Poutine. Both were excellent and perfect for a chilly Boston night. The Shepherd's Pie was delicious, although I only had one bite. It was just the right size, seasoned perfectly, wasn't overpowered by potatoes, browned nicely, and had the perfect balance of meat and potatoes. The dish was extremely hot when served. Short Rib Poutine. What a combo. First of all, ANYTHING with short ribs is delicious! Combine that with poutine and I'm all in. It was awesome. When the plate was first brought to the table, I almost asked if they'd forgotten to put gravy on it. Turned out it was hidden by all the ingredients and I was glad by the end of the poutine that it hadn't been soaked in too much gravy. This is a ridiculously rich, comforting dish of food that could've been overwhelming. If I'd shared it as an appetizer and then had dinner, I doubt I could've finished dinner. The appetizer portion was a perfect dinner portion, even though I didn't quite finish it. Left fries behind as they had to be sacrificed for the enjoyment of the short ribs, which were amazing. Great dinner!

Service was great, food was good and atmosphere was applealing. Ugh.... I forgot my hat there. I woul recommend as a place to visit.

I really enjoyed my food here. I liked the poutine a lot (disclaimer: I am from the Midwest so I am clearly not poutine expert). I liked how it was smothered in gravy and I loved the short ribs on top. And my service was great. The bartender accepted an expired coupon and worked with us in deciding drinks and food

Whenever my wife and I travel, we always find a spot that is our "home base", our "old faithful" spot to where we know we can depend on for that "night cap" of "if all else fails". During our trip to Boston (beginning of November 2020), it was less than a 3 minute walk from the hotel (Residence Inn in Charlestown) and fit perfectly for what we needed. First, we were very impressed with how Covid clean they were and how spread out it felt. It had a very comfortable feeling that made it even more secure. It wasn't busy at all and we had some excellent bartenders the entire time. The food was perfect for each occasion we. We had snacks dinner, appetizers, beverages...no matter what we had, it was solid. They also have a great variety that could fit many taste profiles from smoked wings, to the "chowda", a fantastic burger, brunch, real sides other than fries including collards.... just a good spread and worked well for how many times we came here. It truly became our "go to" for the 4 days we were there. The mac and cheese was a bit suspect and the wife loves mac and cheese so I would caution that but worth tasting for yourself. I do wish they had more of the tv's on to give it that "sports bar feel" as they only fired off a few tv's but I bet this is a cool place with a great layout for sports events and when covid is lifted. To us, and if we are back in this area, we will come back to "home" just because of how solid it was for an overall day to day feeling that made us feel welcomed. Definitely stop by and show some love.

I hosted a happy hour reception here recently with my work colleagues and it went really well. We had a nice area to the left of the bar. The bartenders and staff were great. Very quick with drinks. We did a bunch of appetizer foods and it was all very tasty. Pretzel bites - these came with a truffle cheese sauce. So good! Chicken tenders - nice size pieces, not too big, crunchy crust, soft inside Margherita pizza - their pizzas are thick like a Detroit style. Very tasty. Lots of cheese on top. BBQ chicken pizza Spinach artichoke dip - yummy, had nice chunks in it, good with their chips Crudite - always good to get some veggies in. It had a nice dipping sauce. Definitely a nice local bar restaurant. Good food. Great staff.

Amazing atmosphere. The staff was friendly and help full with everything. The service was quick and the food was delicious. Patrick and the entire staff made us feel comfortable and welcome. There's a lot of options of top notch draft beers. It's also in a great location. We had a lot of fun while we there and a overall great experience. Would recommend you stop by for a beer if you are in the Boston area!

The drink are out of cans and not made at the bar. They took over 15 minutes to deliver the a (retail sold) Can + Plastic cup + Ice. Go figure. Disappointing. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Still sitting in here - have been here for over an hour and only the drinks have come out. Just went inside and asked if I can pay and take the food to go instead, and it still took another 15 minutes.

Stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday in July. Pretty quiet. Hostess was our waitress and was friendly. Menu is much more limited than what shows up on Yelp. Waitress said due to COVID they scaled back the menu and clearly have not returned to normal. Very limited vegetarian options which was challenging. 3 of 4 of us got the spinach salad which was "fine". I ordered a cup of chowder and a veggie burger. Chowder was good but not great. A little thin for my taste. The veggie burger was not good. Edible but I'd pass in the future. We could overhear the waitress talking to the cooking staff about us so that was not great either. Probably better options out there. In fact I'm sure there are.

I selected the Blackmoor for a large group dinner in November and was blown away by the exceptional service, quality of food and atmosphere. I would rate the Blackmoor as the best restaurant in the entire Boston, Charlestown area. I came back today with my daughters for brunch so they could experience the Blackmoor as well and were even more impressed than before. Our server, Caroline, was graciously, friendly and attentive. She made the meal all the better for her presence. The portions are generous, the quality is exceptional! We'll be back!

We were walking the Freedom Trail and wanted to kill some time so we ate here. The service was awesome and so was the food! It was the best food we found. I would recommend giving this place a chance because we enjoyed it.

Okay the food is actually really bad here, flavorless and uninspiring. The tenders were sprinkled with pepper and served on a soggy slice of white bread. We also ordered the Florentine Benny. First the hollandaise sauce again had no flavor, not sure how that's possible when hollandaise is literally BUTTER!! Second, there was a hair mixed into the dish, you can see the hair's shadow at the far right corner. Third, while they have an expansive menu, most of it is not served outside (including many of the cocktails or even iced coffee). Probably won't return here, even for the nice view.

Tried to eat here and the place was empty. The hostess was extremely rude. She explained reservations were required, which is fine, but she was super rude about it. Hope the rest of Boston isn't the same.

Overall, the food was fair and service was a bit slow. We came for dinner on a weeknight and the restaurant wasn't too busy but the bar was fairly full. We waited for a while before a server came to greet and seat us. It also took a bit for our server to come over with water and menus. I chose a regular burger with fries-nothing to write home about. We shared the spinach and artichoke rangoons. Tasty filling, a tad over cooked, delish aioli for dipping. My husband got the Guinness stew which he enjoyed and had leftovers. The beer list had good options so we each chose one. They were much bigger than a pint!

Atmosphere: I am so glad that my friends and I tried this place out after moving to Charlestown! Our server, Jennifer was the sweetest and was so apologetic since they had been understaffed and fairly busy. Pre-covid this restaurant seems like it had been a fantastic place for a date or drinks with friends at the bar. The bathrooms were spacious and clean. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. Food: I wish I had taken picture of the nacho appetizer because it was amazing! The crisp chips were covered with a great seasoning and smothered with warm cheese, onions, scallions and jalapeños. We shared amount 5 and almost got another order. I ordered the salmon sandwich with sweet potato fries. The salmon was moist and had a great flavor. The fries were fresh and crisp. I'd order it again! My friends ordered the chicken sandwich and would order again but i wouldn't recommend the side of cole slaw and opt for fries or other options. The pick 2 order for pork and Mac and cheese was ok and the corn bread was flavorless. I wouldn't recommend. Overall I'd definitely recommend coming for drinks, appetizers and the sandwiches so far. I am excited to try the brunch menu!

Came for brunch. Super cute place. It wasn't busy so we were seated right away. I had the huevos rancheros ($15) and my friend had the chicken quesadilla ($12) . Both were very good. Mine came with a nice portion of steak + 3 eggs and refried beans! My friend had lime crema with her quesadilla which was delicious. It's a little pricey for the area. It took a while to make it to Charlestown and I don't typically travel there for noms. I will come back and see what it's like at night + maybe try the Bangkok wings.

Some good things up front. Overall the food was solid. The burgers were very good with quality ingredients. However the patty, cheese and bun ratio was off. Full disclosure I did get the tavern burger which included an egg. But the aged cheddar was scant. The fries were excellent. One of our party had the schnitzel and it was good. The spaetzle was good but the plate was like 85% cabbage. Lastly my wife ordered the ahi tuna sandwich and they drowned it in sauce because it was not high quality tuna. Overall this place is great for bar food. The staff was friendly but the service was disappointing. Slow and disengaged. I'll be it is a fun place to drink and have some bar food. Otherwise skip it.

The food was very good. I had the Angry Pizza, great mix of traditional pie and heat. My wife had brisket Mac-n-cheese, which was also delicious. My son at 11 years old, had the fish & chips. It was a massive piece of fish and huge amount of fries. I dipped into both his fish & fries and wished I had ordered that myself. We did wait what seemed to be a bit long for our table server, but overall, I would definitely return.

This place is amazing food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were fire will definitely be back AWSOME ppl all around

Such amazing service from Kay today on the outdoor patio. Child seat, Mac and cheese for kids, and mimosas and snacks for adults. Everything was delicious and the service (and speed!) were just phenomenal today. I'm so happy to see restaurants making the most of their outdoor space while the weather is cooperating, and really grateful for the chance to stop in as a family.

Great location and attractive menu, but the food was only mediocre and the operation is incredibly poorly run. Six of us went. One meal came 20 minutes before anyone else's. Four meals then came together. After 15 more minutes they said sorry we have a mix up in the kitchen about the last order. Just crazy. How about a discount on the check, like taking the last meal off? Nope. Hence a one star review.

After just arriving at our hotel and very hungry after a long day of traveling, Blackmoor was recommended by the hotel staff so we made the short 5 minute walk to the restaurant to check it out. We were greeted and seated immediately as we were they before the dinner rush and were given a run down of the menu. I started off ordering the New England clam chowder (local clams, potatoes, celery, carrots, bacon, and cream) and Flemish Red Ale. The chowder was really good with large chunks of clams, potatoes and a very cream sauce that really hit the spot on a cold day. The Flemish red ale was also really good so much so that I ordered a second one. Red Ale's are not always readily available in my home town so this was a nice surprise. For my main course, I decided to go with the Seafood Stew (fennel, onion, tomato, local clams, shrimp, fresh PEI mussels, Spanish chorizo) served with a Baguette. The addition of Spanish chorizo to a seafood dish really peaked my interest so I decided to give it a try. When it came out, it looked and smelled delicious. All the ingredients were fresh and the zesty, lemony broth brought it all together. It was a no brainer to use the baguettes to soak up all the broth and not waste any of it and I didn't. All that was left were empty clam/mussel shells. Overall, this is a great neighborhood type restaurant/pub to come relax and have good drinks/food with friends and I look forward to coming back.

We visited around 9PM on a somewhat quite Wednesday after a bit of a flightmare that arrived (and late luggage) by some 4 hours. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. Although were kinda hungry after a day of crap airplane food, it was running late so we didn't want to stuff ourselves. Just had to order a bowl of clam "chowda" and the app calamari and an IPA. The soup was pretty good even tho they "cheated" by adding bacon (I do that too). And the calamari with aioli was perfectly fried and served quickly A fine experience for our first trip to Boston (Charleston)

Expected this place to be your average tourist trap given its proximity to the Freedom Trail on the way to Bunker Hill. However, I was pleasantly surprised by their brunch offerings. I had the Charlestown omelette which is a simple ham and cheese omelette (sans the included onions/peppers). The omelette comes along with toast and home fries. The serving was more than enough for the price and everything seemed freshly prepared. Service was friendly and good. Would come again if in the area.

So Disappointing. This place looks very nice and bar vibe seemed great. However, I came with my family and sat on the restaurant side. It was understaffed and the staff they have is incompetent. If I listed the serious of events no one would believe me. Once the food did come it tasted great and portions are big. So If you go, sit on the Bar side or get to go!

The takeout was handy, but didn't blow me away. The bar looked really fun if you're eating indoors, and the Krio was gorgeous.

On a visit to Boston, saw this place and decided to give it a try. The place is trying very hard to be trendy, has the usual chalk board menus, big bar selection and some quasi industrial architecture. The bar service and drinks were good. The food was not. Foolishly my buddy and I both decided to try the Barbecue. I ordered the combo plate with brisket, pulled pork and bacon and ribs. It was all very dry, tough and not very good at all. Buddy ordered the wings and ribs. Same issue, dry tough chewy. I tried one of his wings and left it after one bite. Probably our fault for thinking Barbecue whilst in Boston. Can't speak to other menu items, but since we were the only customers there on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I'd guess not great.

The service was quick and the ambience inviting. The Nachos had quality and fresh ingredients...the pull pork was absolutely delicious. The wings were pretty different and tasty. Definitely will recommend it to anyone. We will come back when in town

My damn my damn! Excellent service and even better food! Had an amazing waitress (don't know her name bust she's from Lithuania) gave me some great recommendations and kept a smile on. The music made me feel is if I was at an old school concert of 70's and 80's R&B. Jam, after jam, after JAM!! Ambiance is very chill but yet live. Definitely, a place for families and friends. I had the Colombian skillet and the mimosa little bar. Phenomenal! The seasoning on the home fries were really tasty. Scrambled eggs were done just right and the pull pork was beyond flavorful. If I could give this 10 stars I would but I'll give the requirement, five lol. Great place for brunch

Excellent beer selection, including 3 rotating cask selections, all served in the proper glassware. Not a fan of the TVs everywhere you turn, however- made it feel more like a cheap sports bar than a pub with classy drinks, and that's personally not the kind of atmosphere I want when I'm tasting my way through some unique and hard-to-find brews (or ever, really, unless I'm specifically at a sports bar to watch a game). The apps we ordered were OK- although the chips and dip was expensive at $8, and the fries were skin on but a bit soggy.
