Cunard Tavern draws its inspiration from the rich nautical history of the nearby East Boston Shipyard and the countless people whose search of the American Dream began when they first landed there.

Second only to Ellis Island, East Boston was the port of entry for many immigrants who came to its shores in search of opportunity.

From shipbuilders to carpenters, from welders to longshoremen, we celebrate those who landed at Cunard Wharf and helped build this great neighborhood.

    Club level music at 7:30. So loud we had to request to eat outside which didn’t help much. Lovely waitress who had many complaints about the noise level but bartender would not turn down loud thumping club music. This explains why we were able to get a table so quickly on a Friday night. Dude - people want to talk at dinner not dance. Settle down with the loud techno and maybe you’ll fill your dinner tables.

    Food was just okay, and they were playing music so loud we could barely hold a conversation. Drinks were pretty good

    The food here was totally average. Just leaving a review to note that when our nachos came to the table, the guacamole on top was completely brown like it had been sitting out for hours or was old. Everything else we has was... fine, but I wouldn't recommend it or go again.

    Rooftop isn’t open on Sundays. That’s why we went so that was disappointing. Definitely a neighborhood type feel, I liked the decor. Food was good. Overall people liked the drinks. Service was fine once we got started. They didn’t have several items i.e. chimichurri sauce, sprite, and another ingredient needed to make one of the signature cocktails. The ventilation system was leaking from the ceiling onto us at times and our table. We’d like to go back and experience the rooftop.
