pratt street ale house

yummy. 10 of us ate great food. the service was good, the atmosphere was warm and cheery. the evening was great. we had sandwiches, chili, salads, wraps. everything was wonderful. the kids agreed that the hamburgers were the best they'd ever eaten!

nice beer selection. the pratt street ale house has a broad selection of local brews. the menu describes the beer selection very well and i suggest the smooth pour selections.

the bar service is very fast even on game days and the sandwiches are appropriately sized and well made. i would suggest this place to anyone.

mr.. food and service was overall good. pear salad is a good concept but poorly executed as pears and chicken needed to be diced, lacked cranberries and candied walnuts (only a few were added) which reduced flavor potential).

good food, poor service. the food and beer were very good but the service was average at best. we ordered an appetizer that came out after our meal and we still had to pay for it. my wife's food was incorrect and the server admitted that she put it in wrong about 10 minutes after we got everything...and took another 5-10 to correct it. luckily it was a nice day outside and the beer was cold.

went there with my british friend the other day. he declared both the fish and chips and a goodly number of the ales and hand pulled beers highly authentic. i just declared them delicious and left it at that.

business travelers. support the locals!! enough of the chains.

sat at the bar for our meal, and the service was great. the beers are realistic rendition of british style ales (nice!), and the food good pub grub. i'll definetly come back!

1/5 star - local brewery and tourist trap don't go well together. it's hard to get serviced here especially when there's a game going on. you literally have to grab the arm of a waitstaff and order what you need. it's also funny that the hostess would ask who's next in line, not even glimpse at anyone waiting, turn around and walk back into the restaurant, twice. so we decided, we'll try and deal with the bar and find a seat. not happening. the only thing stopping me from leaving that instant was, i told myself i had to try the beer, i had to. finally we did get a seat, and asked for a flight. she was annoyed to serve that to us, but did anyway, and said that's the last one of the day. i believe it was way understaffed on game day events and the staff was just all over the place doing everyone else's job but their own. oh, to sum it all up, the beer was not that great and we have been to several breweries and microbreweries alike. save yourself the hassle, and try the nest next door. it's a little more organized and will have a select few of the beers they serve here.

welcome back with reservations. see my review of once closed pratt street ale house. i believe the beer is equal and the food is better even if the cleansing of the place may not appeal to everyone.

update:

i recently returned for the wed day game and found the staff completely ill equiped to handle the masses that descended upon the place for a boston/o's game. the two bartenders were so busy doing service that they ignored the bar customers and when will all wait staff understand that the customers couldn't care less how wasted they were the night before or blaming their poor tips on the boston fans when perhaps their service and attitude are the problem. someone in management needs to upgrade staff and find a second station for them to place orders. during the high times around games the customers are suffering.

reopened. no matter what i do i can't convince urbanspoon that this restaurant has reopened and its actually better than ever. the oliver's beers are still available, but thankfully the menu has been updated. it continues to be a great place to visit before an orioles game, or better yet when the crowds are less.
