Twelve Ben’s

Cheapest beer in town, ice cold. cash only. A great local joint where everyone shows respect or you will get your ass kicked. Lots of professionals stop here on the way home. A man’s place but the ladies come here often, too. Lots of Irish locals. I like to listen to people hang out, vent, etc. Grilled chicken is tasty and a great place to watch a game real late at night.

The food here is amazing! I love the chicken curry with French fries !!! The portion is huge and the price is great! The chicken is fried with this great batter and the curry is just so tasty! The wraps are also good! Can’t go wrong with a buffalo chicken wrap and the cook here does a phenomenal job! Beware. It’s not a fancy bar but don’t let that scare you away, the prices are affordable and your stomach will be satisfied

I live right down the street from Twelve Bens, so when my roommate feels like watching the game (any game, it doesn’t matter) and wants some company, that’s where we go. Every time we’ve been it’s been pretty quiet and the only other patrons have been old Irish men. I have yet to see another woman in this bar. If my roommate weren’t an old Irish man in the making, I’m not sure how comfortable I’d feel in here. But overall the drinks are cheap and it’s a nice quiet place to relax and watch whatever Boston sports team happens to be playing on a Thursday night.

First things first. This bar is one of those local bars that if you don’t know somebody thats a regular there or that works there you will get those evil glares from all over. But if you’re ok with that then carry on.
I’ve been to Twelve Ben’s a few times and I’ve never been disappointed. The menu is definitely a working class value. I got the Steak Dinner for $ 10 (Which is the most expensive meal on the menu). For that $ 10 you get a steak that was probably around 14oz. I’m a old school fella so I went with Corn and Mashed Potatoes as well and man do they load that plate up. There was like 2 Pounds of food on my plate it was an INSANE value. My buddy that I was with got the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and he said that it was the best he’s ever had.
Twelve Ben’s is definitely a hidden gem and now I feel dirty about telling you all. Goodnight :-P

Lived around the corner from this place years ago. Saw a sign on the wall for $ 3.99 fish and chips and decided to check it out. The «fish» was two Mrs. Paul’s fish patties on steak fries. The pint of Guinness in 1997 cost $ 4. I can only imagine what they want for one now, since I haven’t been back since then. Local Irish (from Ireland, not American irish) have told me it’s a «Connamara» bar, whatever that means. Wouldn’t recommend the place.
