You're out on a Saturday night and you're not ready to call it a night. "Just one more drink!" "Food sounds so good right now!" This was me last weekend.
With all the places to go in South End, I was really just looking for a place with good food and beer that wasn't crowded with standing, drunk people. I wondered into Tyber Creek Pub and since it was well past dinner time, there was no issue getting a table outside. This place has a fun atmosphere. They can accommodate large groups with their community tables (or smaller 4-tops if you don't feel like being social with anyone but the friends you came with). Everyone looking like they were having a good time hanging out and watching the game, so it made for a nice, friendly, casual atmosphere.
The waitress I had was excellent. I can never tell if I'm going to get good pub food or a greasy mess, but she gave us some pretty decent recommendations. I tried the salad, the spinach dip and the sausage plate. Overall, food wasn't totally out of this world, but based on what I had and the clean plates I saw around me, it's a pretty solid place to get a bite to eat.
If you looking to halfway watch a game, have some beer/apps, and hang out with friends, I would throw Tyber Creek Pub on your list of places to go.
