Spell-Casting Hobgoblin Bar and Restaurant Opens in Boston’s Downtown Crossing | Eater Boston

"Taking over the former Stoddard’s pub space in Downtown Crossing, I found Hobgoblin to be a fantastical new restaurant and bar from the operators behind the Mad Monkfish that pairs a theatrical, magical theme with Thai-rooted, snacky small plates. Chef Ginger Phomjun oversees a menu of shareable dishes like pomelo salad, duck satay skewers, and chicken wings tossed in teriyaki, Nam Tok–, or Hat Yai–style spices, while Nick Chantler Treenawong curates a California- and Europe-centric wine list. The team kept Stoddard’s gleaming wooden bar (imported from England) and some of the previous artwork, added two lampposts topped with gargoyles, and plans a seven-foot piano as the centerpiece of a live music program. They retained veteran Tony Iamunno to lead cocktails, and the opening drinks include a tom yum milk punch and the Fairy Clock (with roasted dandelion liqueur and salted honey syrup). In a playful touch, a “Magic Potions” section of the cocktail menu pairs each drink with a written spell addressing desires like fertility, money and prosperity, and love and romance that bargoers are invited to say as they drink. Hobgoblin is open Sunday–Wednesday 11:30 a.m.–midnight, Thursday 11:30 a.m.–1 a.m., and Friday–Saturday 11:30 a.m.–2 a.m.; reservations are available on Resy." - Erika Adams

Came here on Saturday, 12th April. Every single member of the bar staff was so nice and friendly. (I was there on my own as my party had left early!) I had a great time in this place. The DJ was awesome as well. Recommend to all. 😍

I tried the new pizza kitchen, Dark D'oH browser, at The Hobgoblin and honestly, it was amazing. I’m not even usually a pizza person, but the Devourer completely changed my mind. Everything worked so well together — it was messy in the best way. My friends had the vegan one which they were also thoroughly impressed with. You can tell everything’s made with care. Definitely worth checking out if you’re there!

Best beer Garden in Brighton!! - The Hobgoblin is a staple of Brighton life. It's a fantastic pub that's been around for so many years it feels like it's a part of Brighton's heritage. The Beer Garden at the back of the pub is exceptional, extremely Large, fully covered (for those raining drinking sessions) and, in my humble opinion, very well laid out. The staff are always friendly and professional and the pub always partakes in festivities and seasonal events. Drinks prices are average and they often have live music. It's a cornerstone of pub culture and I cannot fault them on anything. Their food is awesome too. well-priced and good quality. If you are visiting Brighton, make time to have a pint at the Hobgoblin. You won't be dissapointed :)

The outside of the pub is one of London Road’s more colourful contributions. Since Indigo took over the Hobgoblin Brighton it's had an elaborate and eye catching graffiti mural of some description which is an indication of the young punters it’s aimed at. From the dusky neutrality of the inside, you enter the neon jungle that is the back garden. There must be 12 or 13 tables of various sizes, painted an assortment of bright primary colours and laid out across a massive astroturfed space. Many of these are in their own heated booths, and those that aren’t are mostly covered by retractable rain covers. Music is pumped out through speakers and the garden also plays host to some mega garden parties with live DJs according to their socials pages. There are a decent number of taps here, even if beers on offer are weighted towards mass-produced brands – lagers like Pravha and Madrí. ‘Craft’ options include Blue Moon, Neck Oil IPA and Gamma Ray APA though they have been known to stock local craft brands such as Gun Brewery and 360. There's a full review of my visit here and lots more pubs on my blogsite...
