Seaport/Fort Point dinner suggestins

[LoveTrains]

Anyone have suggestions for an early dinner before going to an event at the Harpoon Brewery? I think we will be on foot between South Station and Harpoon, so something in Seaport/Fort Point would be ideal. Ideally not super expensive, if there is a fun bar we would also be happy to sit at the bar of a nicer restaurant with a bar menu and do bar/happy hour snacks with a cocktail.

I loved Pastoral on Congress-I just blogged about it.

Drink is a fun bar with a snack menu. Legal Harborside has a nice bar with full menu. Blue Dragon is pretty good and casual. There are a ton of places down there.

LTK is fun or Temazcal

[LoveTrains]

Thanks guys. For some reason I could only think of LTK or Temazcal and I wanted to get some other choices. I liked Temazcal but I think we want something more greasy/hearty for our copious amounts of beer drinking to follow.

We might check out Pastoral and/or Drink. Thanks for the recs!!

Ugh Drink is nearly impossible to get into a super pretentious. They take your name and make you wait in line to get in and you can't move seats. It doesn't open until 3:45

Row 34 is terrific. I've wanted to try Tavern Road as well. if you want something casual Yankee Lobster right next to Harpoon is good.

Save room for a pretzel at Harpoon too!

That's why I like it!  I like that I KNOW I will have a designated space and it won't be overcrowded. 



<-----OLD.

It doesn't have a big menu though, so it may not be a good plan for your "copious" pre-drinking eating.  But you can always fill up on pretzels at Harpoon, too.  That's what I always do.

I went there for their good drinks and told them what I like (bitter drinks and aromatic) and got an Old Fashioned. No, just no. I also went with someone who has MS and chronic pain and they took a chair that no one was using away from her.

That would leave a really bad taste in my mouth, too. And not just from the Old Fashioned.

Tavern Road and Row 34 are our favs down there. Owners are fantastic and the staff makes you feel so taken care of.

Although for hearty pre beer, I would go with Pastoral's pizza

Well I'll be arriving at south station at 4:30 so that's not horrible. It sounds like any of the speakeasy type bars in NYC or philly.

Ok that is shitty they made you an old fashioned. We got a new cocktail bar with no menus in pvd and I got all mad when we went and something similar happened to me.
