The Eagle in Boston

Ah, The Eagle – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered, it's got this fantastic reputation for its cask beers, which are nectar according to the reviews, and it's been a staple in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide for ages. I love how it's all about that community spirit, with a cosy fire, a pool table, and even space for the dog if you're out for a walk. The staff sound dead helpful too, going the extra mile like charging someone's phone, which is just lovely. On the flip side, it's a tenanted spot, so no app compatibility, and it can get a bit heaving on match days, making it tricky for a peaceful pint. Plus, if you're peckish, the drinks menu is brilliant but food options seem limited, so you might need to plan ahead. Overall, it's a solid choice for beer enthusiasts and casual visitors alike – I'd say give it a go if you're in Boston, but keep in mind it might not be the quietest or most food-focused place.
