    Don’t go here for brunch. They claim to be the official supporters bar for Liverpool and they open early on game days for brunch. Service is incredibly slow. Ordered food and drink before kickoff and didn’t even see the food until well after the second half started. Asked for check right away due to how slow the service was. Didn’t see my check until after the game ended and the check came back wrong. Had to send it back to get fixed. Didn’t actually leave until 30 minutes after the game ended. To add insult to injury, they automatically included a 20% to the bill. I am all for tipping and supporting a waitstaff, but automatically adding 20% on top of completely substandard service seems a bit presumptuous. Complete waste of time and turned what should have been a fun experience into an ordeal.

    This spot is a go-to for drinks after work. Lots of TVs around, plenty of bar and table seating. Bartenders are friendly. The Phoenix Burger was good. Too bad the NFL season ended so they have to put jeopardy on TV LOL

    Great bar with surprisingly cheap drinks, good music, and a chill, fun crowd. After ten or so the DJ starts up and the dance floor kicks off, but the tables up front are still quiet enough to talk with people and sit for a minute. I lost a sweatshirt here and a bartender found it and kept it for me for months. Awesome place. Pictured is my whisky pinapple which was pretty good.

    Purveyor of the world’s smallest reuben! $16! Service was completely fine otherwise. Just not a great place for meal.

    I was visiting Boston for the first time from the UK and a friend of mine told me to head for The Phoenix Landing to watch Liverpool v Man City. Well, I have to say that this is probably one of the best bars in the world to watch a live football game. It was packed, but everyone was in great spirtits. There were a lot of big screens and TVs so watching the game was no problem at all and the staff behind the bar were fantastic. There's even an outside area. If you are a sports fan I cannot recomment this place enough. Also a massive thanks to LFC Boston who can usually be found there for most games.

    Really good food and drinks. Friendly servers. Appetizers, cocktails, shots you name it they nail it! Prices are nominal considering its Cambridge area and it is typical dive bar. They took care of all covid-19 guidelines and with a qr code menu ! Anyhow their curried fries were amazing and also to mention their wings. I am really impressed by the appetizers selection as well as its taste, which elevated your experience And makes you want to continue your party

    We enjoyed the LFC game that was playing, but the service was AWFUL. I had to wait 50 minutes for our waitress to tell me that the meal I ordered wasn't ready and then another 15 minutes for her to tell me they ran out of what I ordered. She was never around and didn't ask us if we needed anything. Very disappointing considering the fact we drove all the way up to this place from PA because of all the good reviews of it.

    Very cool place! Went here for a Patriots football game, and it was a blast. Not too many people, seems to be more of a Liverpool place, but still fun.

    I ended up at Pheonix landing almost every weekend for a few years of my young 20s. It’s a cheap cover for central, cheapish drinks, fun 90s music and throwbacks, and a regular good time. Small space so there is sometimes a line, and food is only so-so if you go during the day.

    Let me explain why i give here just one star. We ordered cocktail, and there was a hair inside of the cocktail. We wanted to change that, and I put the decorated lime inside of the cocktail. After few minutes, server brought a new cocktail, but we found there was a lime still inside of the drink. Also, ice seemed melt down, which means they just changed the glass. I don't know why they did like this but i want to say this. Be honest!

    Great night with friends to listen to some good soul pumping HOUSE MUSIC. The crowd is great friendly drinks are kinda weak but beers are cheap 2 for $13.00 plus a $2.00 tip not bad.

    A popular spot that can get a little crowded. Food was solid and drinks were great. Trivia made for a fun night out.

    Home of the Reds in Boston! Love to go here on game days. But better get here more than an hour before if you want to get in. Good American bar food and the best ambience a sports bar can have!

    Pretty good beer selection and well-priced, but the food really isn't good. The nachos were...bad. Mediocre chips that were cold, served with a sprinkling of cheese not really melted well and stale iceberg lettuce. The quesadilla...not good. The burgers...meh. Good spot for trivia on Wednesday nights, though! Just plan to eat elsewhere or at home.

    I’ve enjoyed watching soccer here for many years. The food isn't great. The service is generally poor. There aren’t many bars that show soccer so it’s easy to overlook those issues. But I had to walk out this morning. All of the TVs kept freezing. There was clearly an issue with the streaming. No one could seem to figure it out or really care. Management/ownership needs to figure it out. This isn’t the first time there have been issues with the TVs but probably my worst experience. You can’t have a soccer bar and so frequently have issues showing the matches.

    Legendary Cambridge music venue with awesome owners, and staff. The Phoenix is of my favorite venue since I was 19 y/o. They feature great sound and production for a little central square bar. The fish and chips dish is to boot! I don't drink anymore so I haven't been in a while. I'm overdue!

    Really great bar food, and they have delicious pizza now. Also fantastic music almost every night of the week. Been going here for years and we love it.

    Got a drink and watched the Celtics play. Even though we lost, I still had a blast.

    Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon with another family in between youth soccer games; we had 6 kids between us and they're all soccer players and fanatics. We sat outside and they had a large TV with Liverpool v. Tottenham. Food menu was limited but everything was great. Service was attentive, quick and friendly. A nice gentleman (maybe the owner) was nice enough to move the kids to a table closer to the TV so they could see the game- without being asked. This type of service is unusual in this day and age, and it's much appreciated. One of the few things that my family can all agree on is our dislike for Liverpool FC. With that said, this LFC-centric bar is top notch and we hope to stop in again to visit again soon.

    Despite being labeled as the "official Liverpool bar" in Boston, this establishment exhibits a clear bias against English patrons. They went so far as to mute the English national anthem during the World Cup last year. If you identify as English, it is advisable to steer clear of this place.

    Lively pub turns into nightclub later on. We only had drinks & watched sports. Plenty of screens & very attentive bar staff.

    Cory the barman was exceptional he made a whiskey sour when requested and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had, a proper gentlemen and a master of his trade.

    Sweet bar for DJ nights and a quick bite. Their sausage pepper and mushroom pizza is fantastic and always has a chill vibe at night. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay due to age restrictions but it was worth the hour that I was there. Great spot for groups as well and place always seems to be hopping.

    Food is ok. The atmosphere outside is ok. Service is slow and mediocre. Waited outside after I had been seated for a while to even order a drink. Then I was told I had to give up a credit card even though I wasn't ordering alcohol. The server was very annoyed that I asked why that was. The whole experience is just MEH.

    The exterior isn't appealing, the interior is okay, and I had to wait a while for a table. BUT... this place served one of the best Irish Breakfasts I've had outside Ireland. The Irish bacon was especially tasty. Portions were a little on the small side, but it was really excellent. If I was going to pick a shortcoming, I'd have to note that they omitted the sauteed mushrooms. Still, I would go back just for the breakfast!

    Fun atmosphere but unfortunately I was treated poorly. After being admitted based on an ID check and starting a tab, I went back for a second drink and showed my ID so the bartender could see my name. She then took my ID and messed with it for a few minutes before rejecting it based on the bogus criterion that it’s bendable. It proved to be just as bendable as the bouncer’s and others at the bar. I was escorted out. I would like the staff to address this and abstain from arbitrary judgement going forward.

    Staff was friendly and welcoming. We had the Cubano and the Ruben. Both were delicious and the portions were just the right size.

  • 1/5 Ally C. 2 years ago on Google
    We were dismissed, over looked when other tables were served multiple times with drinks and food. Our waitress and manager Wasn’t understanding of our wait time. We didn’t get our food until overall 2 hours later once trivia was almost over. The waitress and manager were not understand when all we were asking was a discount for our food. COVID was hard but I’ve been to restaurants that were understaffed and overwhelmed and the experience was still 10/10.

    I had one of my most fond memories watching soccer at this place. The atmosphere was electric and there were supporters of teams of all kinds comingling and having a grand ol' time. Beer was easy to get and the pub had a great ambience. 5 stars for sure!

    It was okay. I walk in with four people behind the bar, I smile and nobody greets me. When I sit down, one nice lady eventually greets me with a warm hello. She helps me get the football game on the TV and gets me a drink. For the next hour and a half I have two drinks watching the game, then find out that there is a private party coming in and we have to leave in the next 20 minutes. With only about 6 customers in the establishment, I still had to try hard to get someones attention for my second drink and my tab. In short, I did not feel welcomed. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they were stressed about this party coming in soon, there were some pleasant employees and some not so pleasant, but really not a nice experience.

    Apart from the Phoenix, I also land here pretty often to get a beer.

    Great food! All I have ever tried has been delicious. Margarita pizza and mozzarella stick are great.

  • 4/5 Martha S. 2 years ago on Google
    We went for trivia and had a blast! The host was great. It was hard to hear at our table toward the door, so next time we'd get a closer table. The drinks and food were good, definitely a step above bar food.
