The Folly Pub in Boston

33-34 Market Pl, Boston PE21 6NH

About This Pub

Ah, The Folly – it's one of those places in Boston that you hear about and think, 'Why not give it a go?' From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's got this really inviting feel, especially once things kick off after 11pm. The cocktails are an absolute highlight; they're made with such care and come out tasting spot on, paired with a chilled atmosphere and music that's just right for letting your hair down. The staff are brilliant too – proper friendly sorts who make you feel welcome and sorted. And the food? Well, some of the burgers and desserts are dead tasty, with that holiday-themed decor adding a nice touch of fun to the whole setup. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses. The toilets are a bit of a nightmare; they're often in a mess without the basics, and you'll notice tables that haven't been cleaned properly, which can put a real dampener on things. Plus, the music can crank up too loud at times, making it tricky for a proper catch-up, and with it only open a few days a week, you might find yourself planning around that. All in all, it's worth popping in if you're after a relaxed evening with mates, but keep an eye out for those niggles – it's got potential, but it's not perfect just yet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The atmosphere is fantastic, especially after 11pm when it really comes alive with relaxing music and a fun vibe that makes for a great night out.
Cocktails are amazingly tasty and well-crafted – they're done with real care and love, perfect for unwinding.
The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always looking after you and making sure you have a good time.
Food options like burgers and desserts are delicious, with some real standouts that hit the spot for a casual meal.
The decor is lovely, with a holiday-themed feel that gives the place a warm, welcoming charm.

Cons

The toilets are in a dreadful state, often without essentials like toilet paper, which can really spoil the experience.
Tables are frequently sticky and not wiped down properly, making it feel a bit neglected at times.
Some food items, like certain burgers, lack flavour and can be disappointing, so it's not consistently brilliant.
The music can be ridiculously loud, especially early evenings, which might make it hard to chat or relax.
It's only open a few days a week, which limits your options if you're planning a spontaneous visit.

Toilets in terrible condition no toilet paper at all but ,,we can be heroes,, made me laugh in that case... hard to imagine it is western europe. Most of tables sticky not wiped out. Had 3 diferent drinks and all was tasty similar. Staff dressed like at home as if they had no idea where they were working.

Somewhere different for a burger. Nice inside but the music was ridiculously loud for 6pm on a Saturday, especially as it was dead inside. The Zebra burger and fries were delicious but the normal beef burger wasn't great and needed more flavour. Good service with friendly staff and an impressive menu of drinks. Think this place is still 'finding its feet' and will hopefully stay open. Definitely worth a visit if you like a burger and a beer!! Good value as well.

Great place with a heartwarming environment! A great variety of cocktails, with a very nice selection of sides. Followed by a great view of Bostons river! An amazing visit following the very recent revamp of the building. A great holiday styled theme. All in all, 5*
