The Cellar Tavern

Awesome. Great food specials. Cheap beers in frosty mugs! Lots of TVs and a big wooden topped bar. A mix of people, can’t wait to go back!

Live bands. Different deals every night like taco Tuesday and half priced appetizers on Thursdays. The staff is great. Definitely a great place for casual get togethers. The food is also delicious and at a good price. After a certain time (I think 7 or 8) you do have to be over 21 to get in.

**disregard any negative reviews, those people clearly have something stuck up inside them**
This is the best local dive bar around. Fact.
The bartenders are the absolute best, they’ll fill you up faster than any other bar will do. Takes only seconds to get a refill. The food is first class as well. Try the BBQ chicken pizza, best around. Cassie, Pat, Heather, and Jess are just a few of the great bartenders here that are happy to see you and will say «hi» as you come in the door. Very welcoming. Pat is a fairly new general manager who is just the bees knees! Always friendly, always welcoming, and very witty to boot.
If you’re looking for a great place to bring your friends for a great time, this is the place. $ 1.75 PBR drafts and $ 2 bud light drafts, plus cheap mixed drinks as well. $ 2 pizzas Sunday /​Monday, $ 2 taco Tuesday, $ .25 wings Wednesday, and ½ price appetizers Thursday. You won’t find that anywhere else!
Come down, grab a stool, and enjoy yourself. Make new friends, or relax on the patio in the summer with a cold brew.
Best dive bar ever.

I have visited this place a few times, by myself, with a buddy and with a group. Entirely unimpressed. This is a neighborhood dive bar, full of locals. $ 1.62 for a 10 oz PBR draught and I think it was $ 2 for a 10 oz. Bud Light draught. .. need I say more?
The worst thing about sitting at the bar and drinking draughts is that just after you finish HALF of your beer, the girl behind the bar brings you another one, plops it down, and walks away. I was almost offended that she thought we were some sort of drunks. But then I looked around at the clientele sitting at the bar, in her defense, there are a lot of drunks. The bartenders just apply the same «keep feedin’ ‘em beers» mentality to every customer. Unfortunately, they have been trained that this is good service.
People who like cheap beer and being treated like a drunk are the people who are giving this place 4 or 5 stars. This is not a restaurant, it is a place to go when you have $ 15 in your pocket.

basically the perfect dive. don’t listen to the bad reviews, those folks clearly don’t understand the concept. $ 1.50 drafts, $ 2 pizza. what more can you ask?

Great little dive. Live music, good people, friendly crowd. Bar food is just fine, beer is good and cheap. Nice after work bar.

I drove in from out of town to run in this crazy 200 mile Ragnar relay race! Which is super fun. If you’re a runner you should totally do it! My team was staying at a hotel in Rockland. I was in NY so it was about a 3hr 45min drive. I worked all day, didn’t really have time to eat and just packed a quick bag with my gear and hit the road. I got to the hotel and my team was about an hour away. Which was perfect! I had time to find a spot and get my carbs on and have a beer to relax. So I jumped on Unilocal and looked for the best dive bar close to my hotel. Bam. 4 Stars. Cellar Tavern. Took me like 10 minutes to get there, By then I was ready to chew my arm off. Found parking right outside score! Walk in and the bar was jam packed. I quickly used to the facilities after an almost 4 hour drive a girls gotta go! So talked to a few locals and realized there was a Bruins game on. Which explains the crowd. Luckily one gentleman saw the distress on my face for a bar stool and said he was leaving and graciously gave me his chair. I was excited as I had already previewed the menu and knew exactly what I wanted, So the bartender comes over and I order a mich ultra and a menu so I can point out the meal I had already decided on. The young girl, who could’ve been my daughter if I was teen mom asked me for my ID. I gladly handed it over to her, being 33 you get excited about that kind of thing. She asked me me if I had any other form of ID bc my ID was from out of state. I said yes. Bc I not only am licensed to drive in NY I am also licensed to drive in California. So I handed over that license too, In addition to that I had both my non expired IDs and expired IDs, SO I put 4 forms of picture ID with me and my birthdate on it. Im 33 what could POSSIBLY be the issue. She said she can’t accept it and told me I had to leave the bar. I was nothing but super nice. I am a bartender at a very popular tavern where I’m from. The gentleman next to me said that he cannot believe how rude the bartender was to me and told me not to judge their state on this young lady. He said maybe I should ask to speak to a manager. The gentleman on the other side of me said he was from out of state and no one asked him for his ID so he thought it was crazy that I had 2 forms of legitimate IDs and still wasn’t able to be served. He was like you’re older than me, We had a laugh. Since making new friends I took the advice of the gentleman on my left and said may i speak with a manager maybe he can bring out the state ID book and verify me? She said she was the manager. She looked like she was about 16 and all pierced up. I said ok. I didn’t make a big deal even though I almost died of starvation, bc I am in the industry. Both the men apologized for the bartenders attitude. Even though they were only patrons. I’m a happy person so I just moved on with my life, Said my goodbyes and left. So if I had to rate anything the patrons are great, The bathroom had toilet paper, I can’t tell you about the food or anything else bc I wasn’t allowed to try it. The management/​bartender not exactly friendly or welcoming. Maybe one day they will let people from other states try their food and cocktails. I will post pictures of my valid IDs if anyone else wants to see how old lady like I am. My brother just moved to the area. Which is even crazier. Maybe if i use his ID ill be able to get some wings and a beer. I would say stay away from here unless you live in the state of Mass.

My boyfriend and I ordered takeout from The Cellar a few weekends ago. I wasn’t super impressed by the pizza– the cheese combo seemed to lack something for me, and I didn’t like the ratio of dough to cheese & toppings. The Caesar salad was great, but we weren’t able to order anchovies with it. :(The dive scene and lackluster bar food just isn’t enough to bring me back.

They have great prices and friendly staff, but a horrible space in the basement of a house. Also, I went in during the Olympics and the TVs were on random sit-​coms. I wouldn’t recommend paying with cash here, last time I did, it somehow vanished and I had to pay again the next time I went in!

Unilocal decided that my review should be filtered out. I think Unilocalers need to know about the bad service!

YEP! My friend and her boyfriend come here all the time and had brought my boyfriend and I here a couple weeks ago and I am in love. If you love cheap beer, pizza and dive bars… this is definitely the place for you!
Walk down the steps, regulars turn around because well… you’re not a regular! Luckily I always go with my friends so I’m down. ;) Anyway! On Sundays they have $ 2 pizza’s and $ 1.50 PBRs… what up, heaven?! The Taco pizza is amazing, and the bartenders are really sweet. They have TVs all around to watch whatever major game is on. They also have a patio on each side to smoke cigarettes. They also have bands and/​or solo singers play in the corner as well. You kinda can’t really hear when you’re talking to people because the place is a little too small for that. but that’s the South Shore, for ya.
I’m a huge dive bar kinda-​gal so this place is on the top of my list!

This place is a hidden jewel! Service and prices are great! We got the $ 2 pizza, buffalo wings, turkey tips and the seafood platter and everything was GREAT!!! Definitely will be back!!!

Honestly looked like a great menu and was excited to try it but apparently NO OUT of STATE IDs. What nonsense.
Nice bouncer but yeah, thanks

I’m in town visiting family and we heard the pizza was good. It is! I also got the artichoke dip and a Pumpkin Ale which were also delicious. If I lived near I would come back often. They have deals every day, and the staff was very friendly. Lynn helped us and was super!

If your looking for a dive bar with great service, high end tv’s and a good crowd, the Cellar is for you.

This is an amazing dive bar. Incredibly cheap and have great daily deals. Hard to get a meal deal and some beers and spend more then 10 dollars. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
They have groupons every now and then. But if its just two people going you may not be able to spend the 30 dollars needed. I suggest get lunch for the next day as well.

I don’t frequent taverns generally because of the low quality of food, service, and atmosphere, and this dive reinforces this sentiment. The service was slow and un-​hurried, the selection of food as average and not to inspiring. I had the Chicken Supreme and I can say that the «supreme» part was how ordinary and devoid of taste and flavor it was.
Suffice to say, I will not be going back.

The Cellar Tavern is a place everyone in the area should try out. Even on a Sunday at 10pm it was bustling and had live music. Service at the bar was excellent, especially considering how busy it was. Nice selection of draft at a reasonable price and a good crowd. I can’t believe I haven’t been here before. I will certainly be back soon with some of my friends.

Let’s just take a minute and think about the place we’re reviewing. This isn’t fine dining, it’s a bar in the cellar of a building. Hence…“The Cellar”. Keep that in mind before you blast in like it’s a high end eatery.
That being said, I love this place. It is set up much like it’s name says. It’s down the stairs, its dark, people may look at you funny if your not a regular. What else could youi want?
They have in my opinion probably the coldest pint I have ever had. Think about a beer slushy. How they get their mugs that cold is beyond me. And for $ 2 domestic drafts? Sign me up.
The food is fantastic too. Great sandwiches and burgers, appetizers and entrees. I highly recommend the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with onion rings. And if you are around during the day, they have a $ 5 lunch menu.
Finally, don’t forget to take your roll of the Yahtzee dice. For one dollar, you get one roll per shift. Get the Yahtzee, get the pot. I was in the day after Thanksgiving and the pot was somehwere over $ 1900.

It can’t be wrong if it feels so right… right? The name doesn’t sugar coat — this is a cellar without pretentiousness or attitude and a little crusty around the edges and I love it.
Drinks are cheap and strong, the service is efficient and friendly (and yes, 90% are cute girls) and the food is GOOD! The pizza is excellent as are the burgers and they always have great (and well priced) specials.
It is definitely a mixed bag when it comes to the crowd — but that is part of the appeal. Weekends usually have good DJ’s or occasionally a band. Happy to have this place in my ‘hood!

One word for the Cellar.. . FREEZING. A little overzealous on the air conditioning this summer, but otherwise a comfortable atmosphere. The Cellar, which is literally located down a flight of stairs in a basement, brick walled area, was a comfortable atmosphere for an early dinner and beer out. Sat at a table located away from the bar, in the middle of open room. The stools were of my favorite style for a bar, cushioned with backs! Love to be able to lean back when drinking a beer.
The food was tasty but nothing to write home about. Great variety to choose from for a small bar. The waitress came to check on us every once and a while, I would have liked if she passed by a few more times. Difficult when the bartenders are also the waitresses. Attention can easily get drawn in different directions and some customers forgotten.. . service can lack its timely manner.
Having never heard of the Cellar before, I was surprised to see tank tops and merchandise available for sale on the walls. Who knew? Like the outdoor tables/​bar stool area to catch a cool breeze on a fading summer day. Perhaps I should have sat out here rather than freeze my toes off inside.
Entertainment seems to be plentiful. On the night I went a DJ was setting up taking all requests, any genre. Not a bad local place to get some friends together for bar night out.
