Decent beer. Lots of specials - half of the taps were specials/seasonals, the other five were their regular beers. We just ordered appetizers and samplers of beer. The food we had was tasty. The best part about the place was that it was so kid friendly - they even have a play area and toys in the back, towards the restrooms. This was a nice compared to some other kid-unfriendly brewpubs I’ve been to.

Good beer, lots of different things on taps, their hoppy stuff is good as well as their non-hoppy stuff. THe inside is roomy but loud (am I gettting to be an old man). I came in on a Saturday evening and it was pretty empty. I got one food item a hummus platter which was really tasty. Good beer, fair price, a bit loud, good food, service was fine.

One of my favorite places to visit. However, the last couple of times there, the service was suffering. (Busy rainy Saturday afternoon crowd). Food is decent. Love the horseshoe bar, although the stools aren’t the most comfy.

Geez, how hadn’t I rated Watch City, well here goes. Busy Moody st location. Parking lots behind it off of Pine St. .25cents an hour. Fairly large bar and dining area, Bar is oval shaped with a granite, I think, countertop. Wood booths and table on either side. Kind of art decoish, high ceilings. Big windows looking out onto Moody st. Service has always been good when I’ve been there, though I usually go to the bar and usually am there for lunch. usually a good mix of beer available You can see into the kitchen, I always like that. Beers on this visit were a saison, summer ale, IPA, stout, California common, Irish red, golden & a scottish ale. Usual pub grub with a few twist. Not crazy about the onion rings, but otherwise has been good. Brewer, Aaron, is always doing something creative. Nice brewpub, good to see it make the 10 year mark. Easy to get to from Boston by car or train from North station. Short walk from the Waltham stop on the Fitchburgh line of the MBTA’s commuter rail

I was there on a weekday for a late lunch. The food selection was good, and the burgers, sandwiches, and fries were great. I’m going to ding them because they didn’t have their stout. The service was good. Overall, an enjoyable place to have a lunch. Re-rate, April, 2007. I was there for dinner with friends on a Saturday night. They had their full selection of beers, and the salamon I had was well prepared with a very good mango sauce. As one in our group was vegetarian, they also proved to be vegetarian friendly. Our waitress told us that they have a new chef who is planning on adding 4 or 5 new vegitarian dishes to the menu.

When I lived in Waltham this was the spot, love the beer and the food. I went there on a saturday afternoon, not very busy just some people eating on the floor and about 3 people at the bar. The service was great as usual, the beer selection was nice as well. They had three seasonals (Busta Nut, Winter, and burleywhine) plus the usually Moody Street Stout, Hop Explosion, etc) The food is classic pub fare with some specials to take it up a notch, plenty for pairing options besides burgers and fries which is key. Overall very much recommended took home a growler of the Busta Nut Brown ale at 12.95/growler not bad. --

A big space that seemed clean and well-lit. Nice brewpub, felt like it was a decent local. Only had 8 beers on tap, though that still is a decent number in my book. The food was fine -- we ate pubgrub. Our service was friendly but a bit slow.

Nice place. NIce friendly atmospohere and barstaff, had a Bleu cheese burger, which was pretty tasty indeed. The beer ranged from good to very good, with a few notables (The IPA Was great!). Good varying styles of beer were available, cask is also available. This is a really nice place.

Typical atmosphere, jazzy feel, lots of wood furniture. Seems to have a nice rotation of the tap offerings, they had 10 beers ranging from poor to excellent (scotch ale). Very friendly and efficient service, though we were there in a particularly not crowded afternoon. I was not astonished I must say, but they have so many other apparent looking recipes that I’d be back anyway. Hopefully they fix their bottling problems by then because they’re simply not worth trying as it is.

Clean, well laid out, large, bright bar. Friendly and attentive service with some knowledge of the beers. Fair to good selection of beers with many different styles on offer. Bottled version purchased at the pub had major problems however. Menu looked decent though we didn’t sample any food. Fairly typical brewpub, though if in the area, I’d certainly be dropping in occasionally.
