Emmet's Earns Passing Grade

Emmet’s Pub and Restaurant, 9 Beacon St, Boston – 3/5

Often overshadowed by some of Beacon Hill’s other more famous watering holes, Emmet’s Pub and Restaurant serves as a sturdy option to hoist one’s dinner plans upon.

Emmet’s which lies just steps from the Boston Common and Massachusetts Statehouse offers its customers a limited menu full of tasty options.

Staying true to traditional pub fare, Emmet’s strengths lie in its sandwiches. Paramount amongst the sandwiches options is their herb grilled maple balsamic chicken wrap. The wrap, that is accompanied with tomatoes, pears, and blue cheese crumbles, provides diners a delicious medley of flavors that leaves you wanting more. The blackened chicken Caesar wrap also provides diners a hardy portion of chicken mixed with flavorful dressing. The fries are passable but could seemingly be found in one of countless pubs in Boston.

The wait staff at Emmet’s is polite albeit slow. Emmet’s decor is simple but provides its customers a lively atmosphere that echoes with traditional rock music.

If you are in the mood for yet another option on your Beacon Hill dining map Emmet’s is sure to satisfy, not thrill.
