Boston’s Union Street has some of the most historic pubs and drinkeries in the nation.

Thanks to Sons of Boston, it finally has some food to go with it!

With a kitchen helmed by former Locke Ober menu master Kat McCoart and management that brings Lyons and other experience to the long wooden bar emblazoned with the restaurant’s name (which is also the name of the signature spiced rum that is made just for SOB by Grand Ten Distilling), Sons is a good place to stop along the Freedom Trail, before or after a game at the Gahden, or anything that makes our home the Hub of the universe.

In addition to taking inspiration from Boston’s many menu traditions, SOB also takes ingredients from the Boston Public Market and Haymarket next door, making sure everything is as fresh and flavorful as can be. From apps like clam doughnuts and a big bowl of fried cheese curds that takes the recent Poutine craze in a comfortably creative new direction to finishers like a massive handmade ice cream sandwich and a fried Boston cream donut that is an amazing take on our state dessert to mains that range from flatbreads and salads to hot or cold lobster rolls and a delicious Guinness-battered fish and chips to a short rib bomb with mushrooms, onions, peppers, and cheese sauce, the already notable SOB burger, and a make your own mac & cheese mini-menu that offers such toppings as fried eggs guac, Italian sausage, and hangar steak, the menu is broad and impressive, with things for every taste. Though Ari Hauben’s image of Mickey flicking the bird may not be such kid-friendly fare, Sons also offers a respectable menu for the younger Sons and daughters that features favorites of the management team’s own children. In addition, Irish hampers are firm favorite filled with local artisian cheeses and tapenades and pestos, so check it out if you also want to pick a hamper that includes products like Irish soda bread, cheddar cheese, and smoked salmon.

In addition to their signature spiced rum (which is offered solo or in a variety of interesting twists on old faves, like the Tall and Shady and Treasonous Mojito), the SOB bar is stocked with many local (and many more rotating) beers and ales, as well as wines and other drinkable delights, all of which make it a great place to drop by after work with friends or when trying to make new ones.

So if you think that Union Street is just for tourists looking to get a taste of Boston’s rich history, drop by Sons of Boston and see why the locals love it too!
