Amazing atmosphere for people that love classic Boston Pubs. Great beer selection, good food, and great staff. One of my favorites in Boston! I recommend the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla.

What a great bar. Staying close by we called in for dinner. Great service. Great New England IPA. And fantastic ribs. The fish tacos were also top drawer. Highly recommended.

Local favorite with good food and the games on downstairs. Great history and back story. If you're lucky, you might even meet the managing partner, Jake, behind the bar. Super nice guy. Ask him to tell you the history of the place. #bowtiesonpoint #bowtiejake #teddysonthehill

Sat at the bar with friends while in town on a bright Friday afternoon and had a delightful time. The bartender was awesome, with excellent recommendations and great insights on where to go next. Neat vibes, plenty of space, and good company pushed the experience over the top. Would come back for sure for a drink.

To the people who left a bad review, GTFOH. Teddy’s isn’t a fancy, uppity restaurant. It’s a neighborhood hang out, pretty much a dive bar, and it’s AWESOME!!! Good music, good atmosphere, fantastic bar pizza, and Nelson our bartender was great!! Prices are extremely fair for Boston proper and we’ll come back anytime we’re in town.

We loved this little hole in the wall bar around the corner from Government Center and up the hill from MGH. The food was great, the service was friendly, and the Guinness was cold. Went in for a beer and a snack late afternoon and lucked out on a great experience. We had the nachos and grilled lemon pepper wings and they were delicious. Real cheese and house salsa on the nachos. Meaty wings that were perfectly grilled and nicely seasoned.

Small historic two story bar with great food! I love their tater tots, as they are well done and not mushy. The Avocado Chicken sandwich was flavorful and delicious.
