Scholars American Bistro and Cocktail Lounge

Upstairs bar is the way to go. A little more low key than downstairs. Menu has an option for everyone, including Mac n cheese!! Good cocktail list. Friendly staff and ample space for private parties. Lots of different options for party spaces and prices are pretty reasonable. Place turns into a dance party on Saturday nights and there will definitely be a line to get in after 10pm so plan accordingly!!

The food was great the service was good a little pricey for me construction worker

A great choice for a stop on St Patrick's weekend. This place screams Irish Pub. Def worth a visit. Follow my IG @t_lovesfood for more delights 😁

Super great service and staff. Cocktails were awesome (get the Silk Road- seriously), waffle fries were as well. Great mid-day escape from the rain.

Classy upscale feel. Big open floor plan. Billiards upstairs. Great food and the bar staff was excellent.

They have a cocktail designated as the cocktail of the month that is only 6 dollars. That's pretty sweet. Has nice low lighting and a good variety of food options that dont break the bank. Will return frequently for this downtown, reasonable cost, bar!

Good food and plenty of room. Not a place for a business lunch or conversation, however. They start blasting the music just after noon and what may have started as a conversation with the person across the table turns into shouting and a series of "can you repeat that?"

Very big bar with pool tables on the second floor. It is just ok

Enough cannot be said about this place. Absolutely one of the test restaurants in Boston and the best in the North End. Their lobster roll is the best in the city, it's pricy but you get plenty of lobster. There is usually always a wait, especially on the weekends, but the wait is worth it. Very friendly staff. The place is very small but adds to its uniqueness. If you want some outstanding seafood you must check this place out.

Pretty good food and beer with a large room with pool tables as well as a downstairs area for dancing.

Really good food!

We were there in the middle of a Friday afternoon and it was quiet. We tried the salads, and they were large and delicious. Even at that time of day service was cheerful and attentive.

Sitting chairs are horrible tables are tiny.. Definitely wouldn't recommend

Great lively restaurant, transitioning to a nightclub after 10pm. Staff was friendly and attentive, food was good. Clientele trends college-age, and that vibe is strong here. It's a plus for this place, as the vibe suits. Great place to meet friends, hang out, and meet new people.

Went in for a quick drink but the staff were brilliant and the bar was really nice. Food looked great, only regret we couldn't try! Recommend for anyone looking for a nice spot to enjoy a drink for a couple of hours or grab a meal!
