Harvard Gardens

This is some of the best bar food in Boston, and it’s served in one of the oldest bars in Boston. We are at Harvard Gardens in the heart of Beacon Hill, the heart of Beacon Hill right across a Mass General Hospital. And this place has been here since 1930. But they’ve updated the atmosphere. They’ve updated the menu and the kitchen is absolutely crushing it.

This is some of the best bar food in Boston and it’s served in one of the oldest bars in Boston we are at Harvard Gardens in the heart of Beacon Hill right across of Mass General Hospital and this place has been here since 1930 but they’ve updated the atmosphere

They’ve updated the menu and the kitchen is absolutely crushing it right off the bat I’m going to show you one of the best appetizers in Olive Boston this is the buffalo chicken stuffed pretzel so this starts with some dough that they make from scratch every single day and then they take a mixture

Of some nice shredded chicken some hot sauce some mozzarella cheese and then they roll it inside of that dough nice and tight you put this baby in the oven and after a couple minutes it comes out golden brown absolutely bursting with cheese it’s basically like a giant

Buffalo calzone but stuffed inside of a pretzel if there is a better food with with a beer anywhere on Earth I want to find it cuz I will go there and get it this thing is insanely delicious must order at Harvard Garden this is such a warm and

Comforting place with all the brown leather and the warm Woods if it’s a cold day or a little bit down this is a good place to go because comfort food is all over the menu in fact every single table in this place at least one person

Is eating the French onion soup you have those slow cooked onions you put that baby into a Croc with some croutons and man they Stack Up that cheese you throw a spoon inside of this thing yeah you might get a little bit of that broth

Yeah you might get a few onions but you are going to get one of the world’s most seriously delicious cheese pulse and as my brother David taught me the best part of the whole situation is on the side the side cheese let’s talk about sandwiches specifically the reuben sandwich one of

The most popular sandwiches in all of Boston and one of the city’s best is served right here at Harvard Gardens you get the sweetness and all that SA ay from the corn beef that’s been sizzled on The Griddle you have that nice sour punch from the sour kraut the Thousand

Island dressing is so creamy it just rounds everything out all on that crispy buttery bread to take a bite of this baby and you are just in Reuben Bliss when it comes to Burgers Harvard Gardens makes an absolute Beauty when my first daughter was born right across the

Street at Mass General Hospital after everyone was doing good everyone was taking a nap I came right across the street and I order ordered this burger and a beer this is a big beautiful half PB fresh ground juicy burger topped with some age cheddar cheese and absolute

Pile of crispy onions and a nice bacon aoli to round the whole thing out so the end to one of the best days of my life was actually one of the best burgers of my life pizzas are very popular here as well here’s one that’s great for the

Vegetarians the wild mushroom pizza this is actually a white pizza so it just has some cheese right on the crust a whole pile of wild mushrooms with some goat cheese and auga they drizzle it with some truffle oil the smell of this pizza is incredible the flavor is pretty darn good as Well fish and chips are one of the Specialties of the house here and they just do it flawlessly every order of fish and chips comes with not one not two four slices of fresh hack you got your Co SLA and some lemon on the side

You take a bite of that fish and the coating just gets you immediately crispy Airy delicate the fish is Super Fresh all you got to do is dip it in some Tata sauce and you’ll be happy as a clamp or a Hatic now let’s go for the big ticket item here the Harvard Garden surf and turf dinner so this is a combination of a grilled sirloin steak and six grilled shrimp and I love how they plate this baby up it starts with a nice green salad with some fresh tomatoes in there

On one side comes some nice truffled french fries and on the other side they layer in that beautifully sliced steak and those nice grilled shrimps sweet Smoky they throw some garlic butter over all this so it smells so good flavor is insane by the way Sunday brunch totally

Underrated here and this is the main reason why the loaded tater tots I think this dish weighs like 5 lbs packed with golden toasty tater tots that are absolutely smothered in melted cheese lots of bacon some Chipotle Crema and then right over the top three beautiful Sunnyside eggs the only things that get

Me out of bed on a Sunday morning are these tater tots and watching Phantom Gourmet so of course you come here for the food and you come here for the drinks but you should also come here for the history this is one of the oldest restaurants in all of greater Boston it

Has been here since 1930 we’re talking 90 years and as The Story Goes this is one of the first restaurants to get a liquor license after prohibition was repealed and to this day people are still celebrating and drinking and eating right here at Harvard Gardens
