Ward 8

Stumbled upon ward 8 after walking home from a concert @TD gardens, and WOW!!! I was blown away by the quality of their late night menu and their attention to detail crafting every cocktail. Everything tasted better than it looked. Their duck wings specifically were to die for.

Ward 8 is my favorite spot to go for a drink and bite to eat! It isn’t too deep into the city to be a pain to get to and the experience is amazing! The bartenders are amazing (I can’t remember his name this time!) and the drinks are even better. They’re always releasing new drinks and it’s fun to pop in and try something new and creative. Plus, the food is always spot on. We’ve tried a little bit of everything, but this chicken sandwich has to be one of my favorites that we’ve tried! While I haven’t tried them for brunch, the night service never fails me!

Love Ward 8, come here a lot, friendliest staff, best food and great drinks. Only downfall is the AC must be broken or something, super hot and stuffy especially on a 90 degree day. Needs to be fixed asap for summertime! BEST drink made by JJ

Stopped in for dinner before a show. The food was good. A bit pricey for the type of food. The staff friendly and they didn't rush you. Cute pub atmosphere. I'm not sure if they have AC or if it was out, but it was really stuffy in there even though they were running fans. That kind of made the experience less enjoyable.

We had a fantastic experience at Ward 8! From start to finish the staff was fantastic! Fried Brussel Sprouts were amazing and our favorite thing we tried! We also had crab cakes, fish tacos, and cocktails all of which were awesome!

Truly the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I usually go here for dinner/ drinks and it’s always been decent. We sat at the bar for dinner and I ordered a turkey burger. It was served completely uncooked, as soon I bit into it there was raw meat. I asked for it to be cooked and 20 minutes later I got a new turkey burger that was still completely raw in the middle. At this point, my boyfriend had been done with his meal for 20 minutes. The staff did nothing to make up for this and I left hungry. Truly disappointing and frustrating experience. I’ve never left a restaurant hungrier than when I came in. I will not be returning.

Came for weekend brunch and it was excellent! $5 mimosas and great food. We had an omelette which was good and the avocado toast which was amazing. Would highly recommend.

I visited Ward 8 before going to a Celtics game since it was nearby and had an open reservation. From the reviews, it seems promising for good cocktails and eats. Unfortunately, my experience was pretty inconsistent and there were some positives and negatives. I’d say Ward 8 is pretty middle of the road and nothing to really write home about. The cocktails were okay, nothing too special but at $15 I hoped they’d be a little more flavorful. The Mac n cheese is actually really good. Super cheese and came out piping hot. The pork belly buns are always pretty good too. I would definitely suggest though two for sharables. The soft pretzel wasn’t what I hoped, it seemed like something you’d get from Costco. It was also pretty small and dry. The grilled salmon entree is actually really good. The salmon was very tasty and cooked perfectly. The kale Caesar salad was pretty mediocre. There was much more romaine than kale and the dressing wasn’t very flavorful. I added grilled chicken and while I got a lot of chicken, it was over cooked and dry. The service was pretty good but did get slow toward the second half of our sitting as it got busier, but our server was kind and attentive. The ambiance was okay but during the daytime seemed a bit dark. I say at a tiny table in the corner where the wall shook every time the front door closed which was unexpected. Overall, this place is fine if you need to grab food before a game but honestly wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
